Before we dive in, I just wanted to mention briefly 2 things that may be of interest to you:
Firstly, I am excited to say that we have another Soulivity Today Morning Show:“Hot Astrology Topics” coming up on Dec. 15th. I will be interviewed by the lovely Brian Westley Johnson, and I will give a preview about what to expect for 2024!
==>You can watch this live via YouTubeat 8am EST (or later as a recording) — or if you live in California, you can listen in via KMET Radio (98.1FM/1490AM) at 8am PST
Secondly, I have a NEW service offering! I added a 30-min. Pet Reading to my list of Readings. This was inspired by one of my clients who asked me for a Reading for her dog, and it was so helpful to her that I thought I would offer it officially as a Reading to all my clients! ==> Feel free to take a look here
Back to the New Moon:
Lots to consider with this New Moon chart:
This New Moon aligns with Mars in Sagittarius
There are three exalted planets in this New Moon chart: Neptune in Pisces, Chiron in Aries & Mercury in Capricorn
Mercury starts its 3-week Retrograde phase only 7.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact
The New Moon makes several aspects: it trines an exalted Chiron & the North Node in Aries, it squares an exalted Neptune, and it quincunxes Uranus in Taurus
Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius), currently in Taurus, opposes Venus in Scorpio and trines a highly exalted Mercury in Capricorn
This combo urges us to examine our beliefs and their impact on our lives. It invites us to look at our direct experience, to see what’s true now, and move forward with excitement.
Ask yourself: Could I be 5% more mindful of the filters through which I interpret life? Could I be present in the here and now and witness things as they are? What is my direct experience when I ignore my social/cultural conditioning?
A direct and courageous approach works best here. We feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. We also like to debate others, persuading them to share our beliefs or perspectives.
Ask yourself: Where do I insist on “being right”? How do I usually feel afterward? Does my truth need to be the only truth there is?
Remember that we are the editors of our own experience. We interpret our reality through many filters, determined by our childhood conditioning, education, religion, culture, gender, and nationality.
Ask yourself: What beliefs, perspectives, or attitudes are worth fighting for? Which ones aren’t? Where could I bring a dose of humor or curiosity to the table?
We prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things — especially when we can learn or experience something new. Ask yourself: Where am I invited to take a leap of faith?
We covered all three of those stations in our most recent Forecasting Forum in relation to our birth charts. Please feel free to watch this webinar if it interests you.
Mercury is all about communication, collecting & processing information, our inner dialog, and our decision-making process.
Ask yourself: What is in my face concerning my long-term plans or business dealings? My economic status? Aspirations? What feels out of integrity in my life?
During the Retrograde phase, until January 1st2024, we are invited to…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 18-23 degrees ofSagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces?If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoorCancer(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be any time between 6:32pm on Dec. 12th and 1:48am on Dec. 13th; then again from 10:38am (Dec. 13th) until 6:32pm on Dec 14th — New York Time/US Eastern Time
Note that there is a Moon void of course on Dec. 13th — it runs from 1:48am EST until 10:31am EST. Don’t set your intentions during those 8.5 hours — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.
If you live outside the EST timezone (i.e. US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook Pageorfollow me on Twitter. I will post reminders on Dec. 12th, 13th, and 14th to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions.
This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Monday afternoon; the last Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning; on Wednesday morning, Neptune comes to halt at 25º of Pisces — ending its 5-months Retrograde phase; on Friday, Mercury begins to slow down (stationing) in Capricorn — preparing for its last Retrograde phase of the year; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Saturday very early morning; on Sunday, Chiron stations again in Aries — preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase — and Mercury’s Station phase intensifies.
There will only be two Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday morning (for almost 3 hours), and Friday evening (for 2.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a Special Announcement…
I have created an offer for pet lovers! Do you have a cat or dog that you love and adore? Would you like to get to know them even better?
Monday,the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until Wednesday late morning; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
This Moon placement also started the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact later tonight/Tuesday very early morning).
Monday afternoon at 1:51pm EST, Venus changes signs from harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra to passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio. She will journey there until Dec. 29th.
Until then, our relationships will get a lot of attention. We have a unique intensity, coupled with a willingness to commit; our actions in love tend to promise deep commitment and sexual pleasure, even if we are not talking about this directly.
Venus in Scorpio seems fearless when it comes to intimacy. We are intensely loyal at this time, and will expect the same from our partner; mistrust is the biggest obstacle to forming a relationship. We feel a need to cut through the fluff and can see others exactly for who they are — it’s like having X-ray vision of the heart.
As best as you can, honor this by being straight with others — especially if it’s someone you have (or want to have) a committed relationship with.
With regards to finances, we are more likely to put our money into things we feel really passionate about. Investments in transformational programs are recommended, as are partnerships in general.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more passionate and deeply loyal for the next 3.5 weeks; your heart will want to go deeper and connect intimately with others. If you are a Scorpio Sun-sign or Rising-sign, for as long as Venus is in your sign, you will attract more love, abundance and beauty into your life.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:49am EST, the last Quarter Moon in almost 13 degree of Virgobecomes exact (we started to feel this aspect build the moment the Moon entered Virgo, on Sunday late evening). While in detail-oriented, practical Virgo, the Moon makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius.
This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. We are better served during the last Quarter Moon by reviewing any projects begun around the last New Moon — in this case, that would be Nov. 23rd — rather than launching new ones.
As best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-15 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, or Gemini? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer? If so, you will strongly feel this month’s last Quarter Moon; given the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer, the same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer.

This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; the Full Moon in Gemini becomes exact early Monday; Venus aligns with the South Node in Libra on Wednesday early afternoon; and Mercury changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Friday late morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for almost 6 hours), Friday morning (for almost 3 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 1.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a last reminder…
Neptune (our primary connection to universal love and our intuitive knowing) started its station phase on Nov. 19th, and its station intensified on Nov. 25th. Neptune increases our access to spiritual insights, compassion, and creativity at this time. It gives us access to the energetic realm. The realm that connects all living things and where no separation exists.
On Friday this week, you will get a chance to take a look at your own birth chart to see how this might impact you personally. We will also address Chiron’s Station Direct phase in Aries and the last Mercury Retrograde phase of the year in Sagittarius/Capricorn.
You can ask a question in connection with these planetary movements in advance. Once registered, you can email mebetween now and Dec. 1st at 3pm EST/1pm PST/8pm London-time! I will answer questions in the order they were received.
==> Star Members are automatically registered; everyone else, pleaseregister here! Early Bird Pricing is still available until Wednesday, Nov. 29th,at midnight EST!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 27th:
Monday,the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning. Until then, we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead.
Monday at 4:16am EST, the Full Moon in almost 5º of Gemini becomes exact; the entrance of the Moon into Gemini Sunday evening started the energetic build-up towards the Full Moon.
Let’s start by looking at the highlights of this Full Moon:
The Moon makes an opposition to the Sun & Mars alignment in Sagittarius, which asks us to take action on something that we have been meaning to take care of since the New Moon in Gemini, around June 18th, 2023.
Saturn in Pisces becomes the Focus Point of a T-Square, squaring the Moon in Gemini and the Sun-Mars alignment in Sagittarius, asking us to be present in the here and now and bring this practice to our daily routines.
The Sun in Sagittarius quincunxes Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) on Nov. 29th, and Mars will follow suit on Dec. 3rd, which invites us to make some inner adjustments. Still, ultimately, it’s about seeing the bigger picture and being adaptable.
Neptune in Pisces (our primary connection to universal love and our intuitive knowing) is still exalted until Dec. 25th, making this planet’s energy a vital part of this Full Moon chart; it also squares Mercury in Sagittarius.
Mercury, the planet of communication, also known as the messenger (also the ruler of Gemini), not only squares Neptune but also trines the North Node in Aries & sextiles the South Node-Venus alignment in Libra.
Mercury’s aspects to the Moon Nodes & Venus ask us to widen our horizons and take an optimistic approach when interacting with others and going after our goals & passions.
I will go into all these aspects in more detail in a moment — but first…
Full Moons illuminate each sign’s higher/lighter vibration and the denser Shadow side. As our collective consciousness continues to awaken, what’s been in the shadows moves more to the forefront — where we can see it more clearly and deal with it on a conscious level.
This ultimately creates a more conscious society that can make more empowering choices for the future. However, it is essential to remember that this process takes time to create a visible collective shift.
Gemini asks us to develop intelligence, objectivity, and open-mindedness. At the same time, Sagittarius wants us to go beyond those places and look for something much bigger: wisdom, broader perspectives, philosophies, ethics, and faith.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-7 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)
Monday morning, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 8:27am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday very early morning (Nov. 25th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Nov. 29th). This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow.
We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
We are more imaginative now and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical. Ask yourself: What might a creative or intuitive approach look like right now?
It can be hard to follow routines. Concentrating on monotonous tasks and work (or study that involves attention to detail or rote learning) may also be challenging at this time. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days.
Ask yourself: What do I feel and perceive when I go beyond all stories, all assumptions, and all meaning?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

On November 27th, at 4:16am EST,the Full Moon becomes exact in almost 5 degrees of Gemini; the entrance of the Moon into Gemini on Sunday evening (Nov. 26th) starts the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
Before we get started, I just wanted to share that if you weren’t able to join me live for my first guest appearance on the Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Topics Friday” ==> feel free to watch the replay here

This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; the first Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact early Monday; the Sun changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Wednesday morning; Mars follows suit on Friday, starting its 6-week journey through Sagittarius; Neptune’s station intensifies on Saturday; Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Saturday morning; finally, on Sunday night, Venus moves over the Oct. 14th Solar Eclipse degree.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Friday early afternoon (for almost 3 hours), and Sunday late afternoon (for almost 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a super special offer…
==>Mark your calendar and get a 50% discount on any of my Readings between 12am EST and 11:59pm EST on November 24th (if you live on the West Coast, the Black Friday Special starts at 9pm on Nov. 23rd and lasts until 8:59pm PST on Nov. 24th)
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:29am EST. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again, we have our eyes on the future — perhaps even on outer space. Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday at 5:50am EST, the first Quarter Moon in almost 28° of Aquarius becomes exact. We started to feel this build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius, on Saturday morning (Nov.18th). The Moon in freedom-loving, progressive, detached, objective Aquarius makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in passionate, all-or-nothing, intimacy-craving Scorpio.
We feel compelled to take action. On Nov. 13th, the New Moon in Scorpio became exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, or Leo? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Monday at 5:50am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 3.5 hours until 9:29am EST. We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we need to break the rules, stay emotionally detached, and move towards a vision that serves many.
On the other hand, we want to go deeper on an emotional level and come from a place of passion and empowerment — but first, we may have to address some fears and issues connected to disempowerment stemming from our past.
As best as you can, use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.
Monday at 9:29am EST, the Moon enters creative, sensitive, intuitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
However, that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in its own sign, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our inner spiritual connection to our “higher Self”, “Source”, or “God/Goddess”.
It’s also a great time to allow all there is as it is and to go with the flow, following our intuitive voice as much as possible. We are being asked to tap into the “feminine” energies within ourselves so we can start to vibrate on a universal frequency.
Ask yourself: Is my “Higher Self” asking for more introverted/inner love time? If I tune in with my intuitive voice, what am I receiving? Sensing?
Where in my life have I become too disconnected from life? Love? God/Goddess? What is my connection to the spiritual realm? What about the “heart realm”? How could nature and animals teach me about those realms?
Do I need more downtime? More resting time? More compassion? How might being kind to myself and trusting the process of Life create a more loving connection with the universe?
Monday afternoon, an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:26pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build on Saturday(Nov. 18th); it will remain strong until early Thursday, Nov. 23rd. This is an opportunity to bring a deeper emotional connection to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding.
It’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real — and to let go of fears connected to our long-term goals. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we must make something of it.
Ask yourself: What if I created more awareness around my personal survival tactics? What might I discover about any long-term structures I have built in the past 10 years? What if I allowed these insights to truly change my b ehaviors? What if I trusted the process I use to achieve empowerment?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, Virgo, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries, or Libra? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)
Monday late evening, a harmonious Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 10:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturdayevening(Nov. 18th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night (Nov. 22nd). This aspect is a wonderful possibility for active healing in regard to our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures.
We can bring compassion (for ourselves and others) to communications that trigger us. We are able to allow more space for the “bigger picture” as we share our stories. Acceptance and understanding of our own and others’ “Human-ness” come more easily now. Humor can be a helpful way to explore our own humanity…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

This week’s headline items: the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact early on Monday morning; Saturn’s Station phase ends on Tuesday; we can act on our New Moon Intentions starting Friday; the Sun aligns with Mars in Scorpio, starting a new Sun-Mars cycle very early Saturday; on Sunday, Neptune starts to slow down (station) again in almost 25º of Pisces, as it prepares to end its 5-month Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for almost 3.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for almost 9 hours), and Saturday very early morning (for 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
Monday, the Moon remains inpassionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 9:23pm EST. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities”.
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs through subtraction — it encourages us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday early morning at 4:27am EST,the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 21 degrees of Scorpio, beginning a new Moon cycle. With the New Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio,itbrings our focus to our intimate relationships and deepest emotional desires and fears; if you’d like to learn more about this Lunation, check out my video on the subject …
Eclipse season is over; Saturn has Stationed Directon Nov. 4th, so we are feeling a bit more grounded and ready to move things forward in a bigger way.
Here are a couple of things to note in this New Moon chart:
Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, aligns with the New Moon, and all three of those planetary bodies make a Trine to Neptune in Pisces, as well as an exact Opposition to Uranus in Taurus — the planet associated with breakdowns, breakthroughs, sudden change, freedom, and innovation.
Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is still in serious, cautious, and goal-oriented Capricorn until January 20th, 2024, and still squares theMoon Nodes in Aries-Libra until December 8th/9th. Pluto also still trines Uranus in Taurus and still sextiles Neptune in Pisces.
Scorpio is the second water sign of the zodiac, so it relates not only to the depths of our own psyche but also to the ecstasies and traumas of relationships.
Scorpio is also the sign most associated with the dark: the taboo, the subconscious, the unknown. Our Shadow holds not only our fears, unresolved trauma, and less desirable qualities but anything that has been repressed, including our power, intuition, and other gifts.
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 4:27am and 6:03pm on Nov. 13th, then again from 9:23pm (Nov. 13th) until 4:27am on Nov. 15th — New York Time/US Eastern Time.
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), feel free to join my Facebook Fan Page or follow me on Twitter (now “X”). I will be posting reminders on Nov. 13th, 14th, and 15th to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions.
Monday early afternoon, a Sun/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 12:21pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (Nov.10th); it will remain strong until Thursday morning (Nov. 16th). What we value in our lives could now be challenged…
We are asked to create a balance between our urge for personal freedom (including financial freedom) versus our awareness of the importance of intimate, empowering connections and collaborations with others.
This aspect is an invitation to stay open and flexible in regard to our interactions with people. We may need to find a balance between what we value/what’s important to us on a physical level, or with our intimate partnerships, or what’s important to us on an emotional level. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.
If you experience fear or uncertainty, focus on what you could really get excited about and get behind in a realistic, grounded way — something that could make a difference, something meaningful. Also, take it one moment at a time; there is no need to rush anything. Simply ask yourself:Could I allow myself to be uncomfortable, just for right now?
We may find that we disagree with other people’s values. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (or react) towards others — or around our desire for financial freedom and independence. We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible.
Ask yourself: How is my life being interrupted by “divine interventions”? What insights might those interventions have for me? What needs more space in my life?
How might thinking outside the box support my connections with others? What needs a new approach in my interactions? Might it benefit me to stay flexible regarding my intimate relationships or financial partnerships? How might staying calm — in this uncertain climate — support my sanity?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).
Monday evening at 6:03pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3.5 hours until9:23pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time.
Monday late evening at 9:23pm EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius— and it is currently transiting through Taurus, making this a great time to explore our physical reality and comforts. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your physical needs — and get excited about new ways of experiencing abundance in your life.
Ask yourself: What road might lead to a closer connection to honoring and appreciating the physical world — in general, and more specifically, my own (my body, my money, my stuff)? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude toward my finances?
What personal beliefs about my value am I now ready to explore or transcend? Could I allow myself to have faith while exploring the physical world from a new perspective?
Use this time to embrace your self-worth, allow yourself to see beauty everywhere, and value yourself exactly as you are and as you are not. When you honor your own values and preferences, you are honoring life itself! What you conclude in the name of self-love, others will benefit from it in the end.

A couple of things to note in this New Moon chart:
Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, aligns with the New Moon, and all three of those planetary bodies make a Trine to Neptune in Pisces, as well as an exact Opposition to Uranus in Taurus — the planet associated with breakdowns, breakthroughs, sudden change, freedom, and innovation.
Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is still in serious, cautious, and goal-oriented Capricorn until January 20th, 2024, and still squares theMoon Nodes in Aries-Libra until December 8th/9th. Pluto also still trines Uranus in Taurus and still sextiles Neptune in Pisces.
Scorpio is the second water sign of the zodiac, so it relates not only to the depths of our own psyche, but also to the ecstasies and traumas of relationships. Scorpio is also the sign most associated with…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be any time between 4:27am and 6:03pm on Nov. 13th; then again from 9:23pm (Nov. 13th) until 4:27am on Nov. 15th — New York Time/US Eastern Time.
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my Facebook Fan-page or follow me on twitter. I will be posting reminders on Nov. 13th, 14th and 15th, to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions.

"Thank you for the awesome webinar, Sonja. I really enjoyed the full interactive experience. Having this real time exchange makes a huge difference to the learning and understanding of all these patterns and energies. I love the question and answer section, especially since we get some advance indication of what the topics will be. I have been an amateur astrologer for many years but I learned an awful lot very quickly in this setting. So much fun. See you next time!"
