We have a busy week ahead. Mars will be squaring Neptune, Mercury, and the Sun, which will likely lead to misplaced anger or misdirected energy for many people. We start the week with Mars moving up toward its upcoming square with Neptune. Mars square Neptune can have us angry or upset with people for the wrong or misguided reasons. Energy levels may also be low at this time. The exact Mars square Neptune aspect is early evening (6:03 pm C.D.T.). As Mars is still not up to its usual speed, it will take longer for Mars to move beyond 1° of the exact aspect. Therefore you can expect to feel the frustration and confused or misdirected energy of this aspect until at least the early hours of Friday. From late afternoon on Tuesday, the Sun moves up toward its upcoming square with Mars. The Sun square Mars can be a type of spur to action. The Sun will be within a degree of Mercury and Neptune at the time, and therefore it will be an amalgamation of these planets squaring Mars. At this time, there may be a desire to act on idealistic, altruistic, or creative ideas or passions. The exact Sun square Mars aspect occurs early afternoon (12:44 pm C.D.T.) on Thursday. As Mars will be out of its retrograde shadow period at that time, it may well be full steam ahead for many. From early evening on Tuesday, the Sun moves up to conjoin Neptune. The Sun conjunct Neptune can lead to us not seeing ourselves or our motives clearly. It can however help us be more creative, intuitive, and altruistic. The Sun conjunct Neptune aspect is exact early evening on Wednesday (6:16 pm C.D.T.) and should start to wane from mid-evening on Thursday. From early evening on Wednesday, Venus moves up toward its upcoming square with Pluto. Venus square Pluto can bring up issues to do with power dynamics in relationships and issues such as jealousy and obsession. The Venus square Pluto aspect is exact late afternoon (3:55 pm C.D.T.) on Thursday and should start to wane from late morning on Friday.

From mid-morning on Tuesday we have Venus moving up toward its upcoming sextile with Neptune. Venus sextile Neptune can have us feeling romantic, idealistic, and sensitive. The Venus sextile Neptune aspect is exact in the early hours (2:14 am C.S.T.) of Wednesday and should start to wane very late that night. From the early afternoon of Wednesday, Venus moves up toward its upcoming conjunction with Mercury. Mercury will be moving extremely slowly at this time as it is getting ready to station retrograde. Usually, a conjunction between Mercury and Venus would be fun, sociable, and harmonious. With Mercury about to retrograde though, it could lead to misinterpreting social cues and mix-ups or delays. The Venus conjunct stationary Mercury aspect will be exact mid-morning (7:55 am C.S.T.) on Thursday and start to wane in the very early hours of Friday. Mercury stations retrograde in Thursday’s early hours (3:32 am C.S.T.). Mercury will be retrograde from the 29th of December until the 18th of January 2023. The retrograde shadow period for this Mercury retrograde will be from the 12th of December until the 6th of February 2023. From the early hours of Saturday, Venus moves up toward its upcoming conjunction with Pluto. Venus conjunct Pluto brings depth and intensity to relationships, beauty, art, and our values. The Venus conjunct Pluto aspect will be exact late night (11:08 pm C.S.T.) on Saturday and should start to wane early evening on Sunday. All times and dates given are for U.S.A. Central Time (C.S.T.)

This week the big news is that Jupiter is moving from Pisces into Aries mid-morning (8:303 am C.S.T.) on Tuesday. Jupiter was in dignity (in a sign that it ruled) when it was in Pisces, so it’s leaving for another 12 years or so has resulted in some gnashing of teeth. Jupiter is the greater benefic (bringer of good luck) and so no matter where it is, it is likely to bring optimism, enthusiasm and perhaps some benefit to you. So, wherever Aries is in your natal chart might benefit from having Jupiter in Aries. You may have already experienced some good luck in this area of your chart as Jupiter was briefly in Aries earlier this year (10 May to 28 October 2022). In any case, best to make the most of it being there, as Jupiter will be moving into Taurus on 16 May 2023 and that will be the last time it is in Aries for another 12 years. From late afternoon on Tuesday, the Sun moves up toward its upcoming square with Jupiter. The Sun square Jupiter can have us over-reaching or over-estimating ourselves. The Sun square Jupiter aspect will be exact early evening (6:34 pm C.S.T.) on Wednesday and should start to fade from late evening on Thursday. Late afternoon (3:49 pm C.S.T.) on Wednesday, the 21st the Sun moves into Capricorn. The ingress of the Sun into Capricorn is synced to the Winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere (Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere) in tropical astrology. In the Northern Hemisphere this is the shortest day of the year, and from this day there will slowly be more light in each day. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year, and from this day there will be a little less light in the day. From late night on Wednesday, Venus moves up toward its upcoming trine with Uranus. Venus trine Uranus can have us fancying something a little different, whether that is in romance, art, beauty or values. The Venus trine Uranus aspect will be exact in the early hours (3:37 am C.S.T.) of Thursday and start to wane late that same night (Venus is moving fast at this time). In the early hours (4:16 am C.S.T.) of Friday, we have the New Moon in Capricorn.

The upcoming Full Moon will be at 16° Gemini 01'. A Full Moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon and Sun are opposite each other. Full Moons are traditionally associated with times of harvest, culmination, and endings. These endings may be related to what was put in place or started at the previous New Moon in the same zodiac sign approximately six months prior. What was planted or seeded in the dark phase of the New Moon becomes apparent at the Full Moon, when the Moon is at its brightest. The natal house that the Full Moon is occurring in will give you some indication of what you might personally expect from a Full Moon. Visit the website to learn what you can expect depending on where Gemini is in your natal chart.

Weekly Astrology - 5 to 11 December 2022 From the early hours of Monday, Mercury moves up toward its upcoming square with Jupiter. The Mercury square Jupiter aspect will be exact in the very early hours (12:54 am C.S.T.) of Tuesday and will fade out by the early evening of Tuesday. Mercury square Jupiter can have us dreaming big, overestimating ourselves, or being judgmental. Late Tuesday afternoon (4:09 pm C.S.T.) Mercury moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn. Mercury was in detriment in Sagittarius, so the ingress into Capricorn improves the capabilities of Mercury. Mercury in Capricorn can result in slower and more conservative thinking and communication. From mid-morning on Wednesday, the Sun moves up toward its upcoming opposition with retrograde Mars. Retrograde Mars is currently out of bounds, and will be a pivotal part of the upcoming Full Moon. The Sun opposition to retrograde Mars will be exact very late night (11:42 pm C.S.T.) on Wednesday and start to fade from late afternoon on Thursday. The Sun’s opposition to retrograde Mars may have us wanting to move quickly, but having to slow down or repeat steps. General irritation and aggressive actions may also be a part of this. Late night (10:08 pm C.S.T.) on Wednesday we have the Full Moon in Gemini. Full Moons are associated with times of harvest. There may be themes to do with endings, high points, or culminations regarding the topics associated with the natal house where Gemini is in your natal chart. Donna and I recently recorded horoscopes for the Full Moon in Gemini, which will be online soon at the Astro Babble YouTube channel. From late morning on Thursday Venus will move up toward its upcoming square with Jupiter. The Venus square Jupiter aspect will be exact mid-morning (6:36 am C.S.T.) on Friday and start to fade out from the early hours of Saturday. Venus square Jupiter can sometimes be a little bit too much of a good thing. It’s very easy to overindulge in what we enjoy at this time. Late night (9:55 pm C.S.T.) on Friday, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

We start the week with retrograde Mars moving up towards its upcoming trine with Saturn. The retrograde Mars trine Saturn aspect is exact late morning (11:41 am C.S.T.) on Monday and should start to wane by mid-evening on Wednesday.

Saturn can usually have a stabilizing influence over Mars, but this Mars is retrograde, out of bounds, and ruled by Mercury which is in detriment and also out of bounds. Generally speaking, it could be a good time to get in and do something, especially if it is something rather physical, but you may find that it takes a lot longer than you originally anticipated.

From the very early hours of Tuesday, Mercury moves up toward its upcoming opposition with retrograde Mars. The Mercury opposition retrograde Mars aspect is exact early afternoon (2:27 pm C.S.T.) on Tuesday and will start to fade out from the early hours of Wednesday.

Mercury (communications, thinking, learning) opposed to Mars (anger, aggression, energy) can manifest as “fighting words” or harsh exchanges. It could also be that communications are rushed and, therefore, garbled.

The fact that both Mercury and Mars are out of bounds at this time (acting more individualistic and maverick in nature) doesn’t help matters.

Adding to the tension, Mars is currently retrograde in the sign of Gemini (which is ruled by Mercury). Mercury, meanwhile, is in a sign of its detriment, where it doesn’t function as it usually would.

From mid-morning on Tuesday, Mercury is also moving toward its upcoming sextile with Saturn. The Mercury sextile Saturn aspect will be exact late night (10:02 pm C.S.T.) on Tuesday and start to fade by mid-afternoon on Wednesday.

Mercury sextile Saturn can bring a serious tone to discussions and thinking. As Mercury is currently in detriment and Saturn in a sign that it rules, this is a very helpful aspect.

From late morning on Wednesday, Venus moves up to oppose retrograde Mars. The Venus opposition retrograde Mars aspect will be exact late night (11:21 pm C.S.T.) and start to fade from mid-afternoon on Thursday.

Weekly Astrology for the 21st to the 27th of November 2022

We start the week with the Mars square Neptune aspect that was exact last week and which will be in effect until mid-evening on Tuesday (C.S.T). Mars square Neptune can have us feeling depleted of energy or bring on confusion regarding what angers or agitates us.

Late afternoon (3:37 pm C.S.T.) on Monday, we have an exact Mercury-Venus conjunction.

The Mercury-Venus conjunction has conversations flowing more harmoniously. Mercury and Venus will remain within one degree of each other until the early hours of Friday.

In the very early hours (2:21 am C.S.T.) of Tuesday, the Sun moves into the sign of Sagittarius. Happy Sagittarius season to the Saggy’s out there.

Late afternoon (4:57 pm C.S.T.) on Wednesday, we have the New Moon in Sagittarius. New Moons are about new beginnings and setting intentions.

Six minutes after the New Moon in Sagittarius, we have the ruler of that New Moon, Jupiter stationing direct. Jupiter has been retrograde since the 28th of July when it stationed retrograde at 8° Aries.

During its retrograde phase, Jupiter re-entered Pisces, a sign that it rules. Jupiter will remain in Pisces until 20 December, when it will enter Aries again.

All times and dates given are for U.S.A. Central Standard Time (C.S.T.).

We’re between eclipses at the moment. We had the Solar Eclipse at 2° 00′ Scorpio on the 25th of October, and we have Lunar Eclipse coming up on the 8th of November at 16° Taurus 00′. Over the past few weeks, we have also had quite a few planets move into (ingress) new signs. The Sun and Venus moved into Scorpio on the 23rd of October, and Jupiter retrograded back into Pisces on the 28th of October. On the 29th, Mercury moved into Scorpio. The big news was Mars stationing retrograde on the 30th of October. Mars will be retrograde from the 30th of October until the 12th of January 2023. After Mars stations direct again, it will remain in Gemini until the 25th of March 2023. Wherever Gemini is in your natal chart, you may just need to grit your teeth and get used to the idea that you cannot rush people or topics associated with that natal house. From late night on Friday, Venus will move toward its upcoming opposition with Uranus. The exact Venus opposition Uranus aspect will be late afternoon (5:21 pm C.D.T.) on Saturday. It should start to fade from early afternoon on Sunday. Venus opposite Uranus can lead to discomfort surrounding changes in relationships. We may want more excitement regarding relationships, art, or beauty. From the early hours of Sunday, we have Venus moving up toward its square with Saturn. The Venus square Saturn aspect is exact in the early hours (2;31 am C.D.T.) of Monday and should start to fade from late night Monday. Venus square Saturn can have us feeling a little confined within relationships. This, following so closely on the Venus opposition Uranus aspect, means that relationships may be a little topsy turvy this weekend. We might be intrigued and interested in someone very different from our usual type — and then seem to only see the boring predictability of our current relationships. All times given are for U.S.A. Central Time (C.D.T.) (at Brisbane, Queenland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYS4djSAK9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mercury is now in Scorpio. ☿♏ Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by Mars. When Mercury is in Scorpio, we tend to be emotionally invested in discovering the truth and uncovering what is hidden. There can be a certain amount of paranoia when Mercury is in this sign, as well as a relentlessness and intensity when it comes to communications and thinking. Mercury is related to our communications, thinking, learning, and how we express ourselves. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun (never more than 28° away from it) and is the fastest of the planets (not counting the Moon, a luminary). Mercury can indicate travel in a local sense instead of Jupiter, representing travel in a broader sense (further afield). The astrological house that Mercury is transiting (moving through) in your natal chart will show you what areas of your life will have an increase in communications, thinking, and learning during this time.
