Week Ahead Transits 11 - 17 November

The Sun in opposition with Uranus forces an awakening to the egoic self – the way in which we project our identity out onto the world around us is being received and reflected right back so that we can engage with ourselves on the deepest level possible, relationships. Feelings of isolation, separation, grief around loss of old parts of the self and misunderstandings can emerge. Utilize this time of inherent disconnect to begin rebuilding and bridging the new aspects of who you are becoming with the way you feel physically in the body. For instance, to merge head with body, it is important to bring the focus in to what the body is feeling through yoga, working out, weight training, vipassana meditation. If you notice your vigilance drifting away from how you are feeling in the stomach, throat, chest, legs etc. then take a couple of deep breaths to reorient the mind back into the current moment. The Full Moon in Taurus will teach us how to separate ourselves from the physical sensations that we experience like pain, excitement, anxiety etc. in order to realize who we are outside of the material constraints on the soul.

 

Saturn stations direct in Pisces at 12°42’ on the same day of the Full Moon. Saturn has been retrograde for about 130 days and began its retrograde motion at 19°25’ Pisces, so if you have any planets between 12°-19° Pisces you are experiencing the retrograde effects quite intensely. A new reality was slowly developing while Saturn was retrograde in Pisces, one that now colors one’s world view. Pisces adjusts Saturn’s strict ways by dulling it with an aphrodisiac-like bliss that says “imagine if the whole world could exist like this”, and Saturn, being the formidable crystallizer, responds with a strategic plan. The power of the mind and the subconscious is tangible while Saturn is in Pisces, helping to manifest the fantasies and dreams that the artistic fish can conjure up. Saturn likes to be challenged and what better challenge than to try and find guardrails for a never-ending supply of fluidity. Venus ingresses into Capricorn this week, activating the urge to make something of the creativity that lays to waste that which supports Saturn’s newfound goal to develop a long range utopian vision. Venus is attuned to the classics, finding inspiration from the late great artists and creators of the past. There is always a creative solution and Venus aids in abiding by this logic while in Capricorn.
