It can feel at times like the planets are laughing at us, the back and forth of challenging energies these past few weeks leave a lot to be desired. The ability to keep a cool head can be impossible to do. However, this week as we lead up to the expressive and quick witted Gemini Full Moon on the 23rd of November, we almost keep it too cool, that we turn a little cold in heart.
Last week on the 16th, Venus turned direct and Mercury retrograde began. The transit is a good one for pulling back in overspending and getting money in order. With Mars freshly in Pisces and Mercury retrograding we aim for quality over quantity in everything we do. We begin to harmonise the body and the brain. We also slip into Sagittarius season this week, expansion, faith, optimistic thinking and brighter dispositions are ahead. The sun in Sagittarius is always an invite to follow our heart, follow our inner wisdom and seek the adventure. Jupiter which rules Sagittarius and is in the sign of Sag right now, means you’re in good hands. Keep your eyes open and say ‘yes’ to anything unusual.
As we grow, we gain experience. I know we can look back on this year and regardless of what differences may drive us, we have in common our survival. We have all had to contend with much angst, pain and mystery. We survive life, we embrace the idea of humility and we march on.
May your cup runneth over..
With love,
Srna
Aries: March 21 - April 19
With Mercury Retrograde well and truly here, 'catching you off guard' is a feeling you may be having quite a bit of lately. If an ex has come crawling back or a bond you thought was strong, was tested, it comes as no surprise. Mercury doesn’t take prisoners Aries, and even with your creativity and strength, you can’t run from it’s pull. This week, however you have an inner resilience that cannot be bought. You’re a part of some impactful projects at work and it’s up to you push bold and free thinking ideas. This week is about quiet times. With so much going on at the middle of the month, you’re craving moving forward. On the 23rd, the Gemini moon asks you to tune in. Networking is electric now, so anyone you meet could be valuable in the coming months. Sometimes, it is only in retrospect that we can see we were given a chance at something but because we were focused too much on the past, we miss the opportunity for something new. Don’t let the end of the year feel like ‘two steps forward, three steps back’, life is a dance but you have to have the courage to claim it.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
It has been a busy month Taurus and it’s set to get busier for you. We can’t keep asking for another relationship/job, if were going to show up in a new situation just like we had in the last one. It doesn’t work like that and if it does, you can be sure to make the same stupid mistakes over and over again. So, of course it starts within first. You need to feel electric again, Taurus. I know many of you have had a weird time this month and you dig a deeper hole. Venus turned direct last week, so it IS a great time to move forward with business and health. Good news about a job comes forward on the 23rd and you could be volunteering your expertise in some way. The Gemini Full Moon falls in your money house. You may make some financial changes now or an elder helps you bring it back to base. Positive changes for growth are surrounding you, especially as your 8th house is lit up now. Our self perception determines our behaviour, seek for balance in your external world and you’ll be guided on a more even kneel.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
The gates are swinging wide open for you, Gemini. Your storyline this month has been about forgiveness, strength and love. And, for what it’s worth I’m really proud of you for taking the plunge. This week it is ALL about relationships!!!! Jupiter enters your 7th house and it expands what it touches. It magnifies growth and learning and many new opportunities for love arise. You’re being poked and prodded out of your comfort zone, by constantly expanding and creating new patterns of self expression. With so much going on now that Mercury is retrograde and Venus is direct, you can expect to think of an ex. It may be a loving, thankful way, now that you have clarity on what you learnt whilst in it. Nothing is random, so this week when the Gemini moon turns full on the 23rd, it is about transcending the you, you have been earlier this year. This Full Moon makes us all honorary Gemini’s. The spot light is most definitely on you and it is about what you want, feel and think. You’ve outgrown an old way of being. You have fresh eyes! You see things differently now. Again, the key word for you this week is, love and intimacy. Renewing vows or revitalising an existing partnership comes naturally now. When we do this, we are left with the present, and that is all we will ever need to progress anyway.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
The energy around us reflects our state of awareness, Cancer. The only way to heal wounds of the past, ultimately is to forgive them and let go. This can come about in many different ways, see to it that you do it in whichever ways most simple for you. As the week begins, it could trigger a lot of new shifts in business. Something that erupted onto the scene in May is coming to culmination now. Romance and creativity have been November’s highlights and as we head deeper into the end of the year, Jupiter plays havoc with your 6th house. Jupiter magnifies everything it touches, so you can assume you’ll learn a lot more about your health and wellness in this time. Therapy could work well now, you could gain a whole new perspective that shifts a radical way of thinking, you will recognise it by how you feel. Mindfulness is the key here. It is about following routine now but also being dynamic in your actions, when these two marry, good things start happening. The Full Moon in Gemini makes you more willing to speak up about something that was hidden, perhaps something from the past with Mercury thrown in here too. Your power now lies in remaining non reactive, nothing else matters.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
Relationships are assignments, they are part of our journey to enlightenment Leo. Being a fire sign, as we enter Sagittarius (a sister fire sign) season on the 22nd, December should be very kind to you. It starts this week, if you just open your eyes to the abundance you have in front of you. Family support, no matter what the dynamic is, is so deeply woven into the fabric of your life, this week thank the friends that are family. You’re feeling emotional as you sense the end of the year in sight, emotional and grateful. The 19th highlights self employment and growth in business. The universe is asking you to act on any creative juice you may have. Mars is in your 8th house, so you’re deeply thinking about something now. It may be about a partnership you have previously been in. With Mercury deep in it’s retrograde don’t be surprised if you feel a little restless and try to reach out to an ex. The Full Gemini Moon falls in your 11th house and it governs friendships and organisations. You’re looking to cast a wider net and find more joy hooking up with the weird and wonderful.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Every now and then, you can get a little obsessed with being right, Virgo. The energy coming through this week for you, it’s a little crazy. If something is out of whack now, reflection is important. It has been a really active month, with planets moving forwards and backwards. Last week Jupiter moved into Sagittarius and your 4th house and perhaps now you reassess whether or not you should pull back in a friendship. Something about not getting your fair share of take and doing more of the giving is making you feel loco. You are a very resilient sign so every now and then when you fall out of balance, it usually has to do with communication being cut in a area of your life. You feel like to keep the peace, you always are the one to keep your mouth shut but if this has been going on for quite some time, you need to speak up now. An offer has been taken of the table in regards to business. I think it’s for the best, time and space were not on your side. It is however, a great week to be proactive with a business relationship, you have Mars and the Moon cheering you on. The Gemini Moon falls in your 10th house, this again signifies business and how well we connect. The human spirit can surprise you, enjoy it when it does.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
So much is being offered to you right now, Libra. It can be hard under the ego to see, as we are always looking for something yet sabotaging what we find. As an Air sign with altruistic tendencies, what I mentioned above, can happen to you often. This week, stop and smell the roses. It ain’t all that bad! A brand new opportunity in something more committed is plausible, a Capricorn may be the one to draw it to your attention. Don’t close yourself off to all the possibilities by questioning what is missing. Things are moving fast this week, especially in exchanging messages with a loved one. Letting go of superficiality, means you value the real worth of people. Many of you have not been seeing eye to eye with someone, don’t make rash decisions today. A loving Leo or Aquarius may be giving you some stability in the coming weeks. If you’re suffering from a creative block, it will only lasts as long as you let it. Get outdoors, into nature, it can be an incredible source of inspiration for you. You have plenty of strength within, you’re always determined Libra, as we draw closer to the end of the year, engage in family connections and deeper friendships. That is what saves us.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
You’ve accepted a situation for what it is, Scorpio. Instead of thinking the sky has fallen, take an optimistic approach. There is a blessing in disguise here, you just have to find it. Patterns are becoming clear to you now and connections strengthen with friends around you. This week has you feeling very affectionate, go towards the direction of clearing past trauma. Only then, new love can come. If someone has been in and out of your life you could be feeling their absence. If you seem to be at a cross roads, always go right. You’re better today than you were yesterday, don’t relinquish your power. When in doubt, always look at a persons actions. Don’t let ego block your awareness. Travel and communications are themes here, business takes off. This week onwards, you start seeing things in fresh perspective, you are the creator of your life. A Libra could be helpful this week in helping you come full circle especially during the Gemini Full Moon on the 23rd.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Your guard is up and you are being extra cautious, Sagittarius. You’re waiting to see a sign before you pursue this relationship. A sign only you will know. You have some apprehensions about someone and it is making you a little defensive. It is as if you’re the one trying to hide weakness, forgetting that is what makes us, us. No one is rushing you, if you need to take more time, do it. You are very much a ‘fixer upper’ of bad situations, whatever you’ve been concerned about, this burden is coming to a culmination. You value alone time more than most and now you’re diverting your energy into something else, something important, perhaps money. Sagi’s, with Mercury in retrograde since last week, know that you’re not necessarily closing the door to anyone or anything but you’re building a life you’ve always visualised, and that may have taken a giant leap of heart. The reality of a situation can be hard to face and it may feel like you just want to put up walls, you can be tough and soft at the same time. We are all human, tap into your emotions and use conversation to help you work it all out.
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
This week has some fiery energy, you’re putting in work and I don’t mean the business kind Capricorn. You’re in it to win it and with Mercury in retrograde giving you a health dose of completion, you’re playing for keeps little Goat. Good thing, you thrive of this kind of energy. It is what makes you an even bigger winner than Sagittarius this week. If you’ve had some piled up emotions that have rocked your relationships in these past few weeks, healing is on it’s way. You are more open than before and something beautiful is being reviled to you. Someone close to you has had a sudden burst of clarity and with their changing opinion, you see that it’s coming to a finality. Order has come finally from chaos and love conquers all. You have to let go of anything that doesn't serve you, keep at it. Don’t force anything to happen. Not every situation is something we can control, we are all human, let your character speak for itself. A Sagittarius and Aries may be important this week, in regards to your financial stability, don’t sign anything you don’t agree with.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
You’re more adaptable than ever, Aquarius. This week the sun enters Sagittarius, and this sign can be known for having a big mouth, so while Mercury is retrograding (as of last week), be mindful to keep your lips sealed. It is not a time to over share although, you usually don’t share enough. You’re all about efficiency and a light bulb moment appears. Try to be new with your interactions and ignite that curiosity you have for people of all walks of life, this is a perfect way to expand your network. Team work can help you achieve a great deal, you’re expanding. This week, try to push yourself out of your comfort zone, get out those creative juices. The Gemini Full Moon falls in your 5th house on the 23rd, it is a happy moon for Air signs and evokes a playful side to you. You’ve come home to something or someone, it feels so nice. That usually happens when Mercury goes retrograde, leave yourself extra time. You will finally learn how someone really feels for you, I hope you do what is right.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
Someone is mad at you but you cannot compromise yourself any longer, Pisces. With Mars in Pisces now you feel a strong desire to be active in your life. It is as if we wake from our sleep and energy is seeping into everything we do. This Mercury retrograde is making you retrace your steps in a relationship. You’re so wishing for your dream to come true but at the same time your eyes are being opened to the reality of a situation. Someone is coming in hot and heavy and they’re ready for a fight with you, don’t let defeat wash over you. Listen to your intuition, if something is incompatible, believe what the universe is showing you. Remain calm, it is all for a reason and diffusing conflict is as easy as taking your self out of the equation. A lack of emotional security is enough to twist anyone up, especially you being a sign that’s so emotionally driven. You’re most definitely in a transition phase, Pisces. Many of you have creative juices flowing, you’re churning out emotions and it feels like an outpour. Recuperating is the name of the game now and this is exactly what this week offers.
