Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 20

You may be able to tap into some very soothing and nurturing love vibrations — courtesy of beautiful Venus moving 135-degrees to providential Jupiter (2:17AM PST) followed by a flowing Moon-Venus trine from Aquarius to Libra (5:36AM PST). However, before you know it, the bloom is off the rose when the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives at 6:33AM PST (activating 29 degrees of Scorpio and Aquarius). There is a need to cut through apparent roadblocks on your path to worldly success while also managing your business affairs with pizazz. This solar-lunar square formation also begins a void lunar cycle that continues until 8:56AM PST. Stay out of harm’s way during the void lunar uncertainty zone. Once the Moon enters Pisces (8:56AM PST), let your compassionate disposition take hold. Photography, music, dance, poetry and spiritual studies are highlighted as the Moon unites with Neptune (9:38AM PST). Your productivity quotient can rise due to the Moon making a trine with Ceres (1:12PM PST). The main cosmic event is Pallas leaving retrograde motion, becoming stationary at 23 degrees of Pisces (5:25PM PST) and gradually starting its forward movement. All Pallas themes — father-daughter relationships, wisdom and knowledge, genius and innovation, problem-solving, strategic thinking, seeing patterns that are normally invisible to most people, weaving and needlepoint, computer programming and video gaming, engineering, city planning, the Immune System, genetics and DNA — are emphasized. Catch up on the latest news about holistic healing techniques as the Moon unites with Chiron in Pisces (6:04PM PST). Dance the night away as the Moon in Pisces can give you happy feet.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 18th

There have been three stations by celestial bodies already in November (Mercury, Neptune and Chiron) and, two days from now, Pallas takes its turn being in the spotlight. Issues concerning problem-solving and strategy sessions will become increasingly important over the next 48+ hours. In the meantime, the Moon in Capricorn leaves void status to enter the universal air sign of Aquarius (4:11AM PST). It’s now the right time of the month to energize group projects, team sports, community events, and global causes close to your heart and idealistic beliefs. With Venus making an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Pluto (9:19AM PST), your creative artistic juices are really flowing. Try your hand at unusual crafts and hobbies. With the Moon contacting high-tech ruling Uranus via a supportive, 60-degree alliance (12:31PM PST), it is a good afternoon to visit stores that specialize in state-of-the-art electronic gadgets. Reading, writing and advanced studies in esoteric philosophy, astrology, numerology and kindred subjects are highlighted this evening as the Moon approaches a flowing trine with Jupiter (forming exactly at 2:49AM PST tomorrow morning).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 16th

The cosmos is trying to come to your defense and ease your psychic pain — following the trio of discordant aspects that seemed to come out of nowhere yesterday. The big problem early on today is that the Moon makes its monthly union with the red planet Mars in late Sagittarius (1:45AM PST). This not only has the capacity to increase volatility across the board, but it begins a short void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 2:37AM PST when the Moon enters earthy, industrious Capricorn. Meanwhile, there is a potential mellowing-out taking place as Juno forms an inspirational, 72-degree link to far-out Neptune (2:20AM PST) while Venus trines Vesta in air signs (2:38AM PST) — happening just 1 minute after the void lunar cycle is over. The Juno-Neptune and Venus-Vesta alignments — occurring just 18 minutes apart — are a big boost for women in general, forging sisterhood ties, and creative artistic expression. Once the Moon is solidly in the tenth zodiacal sign of Capricorn (2:37AM PST), it is natural to strive to reach the executive penthouse by climbing the ladder to worldly success. Determination and hard work are the dynamic duo leading you to new heights of responsibility. Helping you along the way is a sensitive and yet purposeful trine from Saturn to Chiron (3:24AM PST). Mood swings can change quite a bit later on when the Moon makes its monthly union with Pluto in Capricorn (3:19PM PST). While this lunar connection with the planet of the underworld has a tendency to equate with rising worries and fears, your ability to tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration — like a laser beam used in medicine and manufacturing — can become a saving grace right when you need it the most. Keep track of the shift by Mars from Sagittarius to Capricorn (6:37PM PST). The red planet remains in its sign of exaltation until December 25, 2012. Mars in Capricorn can always be utilized to stimulate career planning and professional advances.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 15th

If you think that Tuesday’s Total Solar Eclipse and Wednesday’s shift by Chiron are ancient history, think again. As indicated on prior dates in this calendar, major celestial alignments and events from the day before or two days before are still percolating in the psychic atmosphere — influencing mega-millions of human beings around the globe. Fortunately, the lunar orb in Sagittarius carries a note of positive thinking, opportunity knocking, and essential optimism. This is certainly reinforced during the monthly Moon-Juno union (7:33AM PST). Energize primary partnerships in a respectful, balanced and harmonious manner. Be more fashion-conscious and check out the latest clothing designs and hair styles. Love vibrations increase in frequency when the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Venus (2:30PM PST). However, tensions start to rise shortly after this sky pattern occurs as Venus forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pallas (3:54PM PST), Saturn makes a similar, 150-degree liaison with Uranus (4:28PM PST) while Mercury parallels Pluto (6:44PM PST). Ouch! These three challenging alignments — happening within three hours — can easily cast a pall over the rest of the day and send you to a corner of the school room with a dunce cap on your head. Don’t go on an egocentric tear or push your agenda at all cost. The past (Saturn) and future (Uranus) are clashing, and problem-solving is more difficult than usual. Strive for greater objectivity, peace of mind and serenity to get through this 24-hour time-period relatively unscathed.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 14th

Mind over matter is an early theme as the Moon in Scorpio merges with Mercury (which has just retreated back into the same sign) at 2:40AM PST. At this moment, a very short void lunar cycle occurs until 2:54AM PST when the lunar orb enters upbeat, enthusiastic Sagittarius. You can breathe a sigh of relief once the Moon is in this ninth sign of the zodiac that has much to do with outdoor adventures, athletics, higher education and reaching long-range goals. Your problem-solving skills are enhanced — courtesy of a flowing trine in water signs from the Sun to Pallas (5:28AM PST). Repressing vital emotions is a no-no with the Sun making a frictional, 45-degree tie with distant Pluto (10:03AM PST), but you should be able to recover nicely by activating your exalted intuition in concert with a Moon trine to Uranus (10:43AM PST). The number one star attraction of the day strides on to center stage when Chiron becomes stationary and shifts from reverse to direct at 5 degrees of Pisces (12:39PM PST). The whole day is actually influenced by this intensification from the comet-like celestial body associated with healing old wounds, bridge-building between heaven and earth, mavericks, catalysts, shamans, higher dimensions of consciousness, twilight zones, deja vu experiences, UFOs and ETs, soul-searching, meditation, affirmations, oracles, the aura and sacred dance. It is wise to learn more about holistic healing and advances in alternative medicine. Fooling around with investments this evening is taboo as the Sun forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Vesta (10:20PM PST).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 13

Being too assertive in the early hours is bound to create fatigue and stress since the dark-of-the-moon vibrations are reaching a crescendo. This extreme, waning lunar energy is good for resting, sleeping and meditating, but not terrific for taking great leaps forward. It would be advisable to gear up for tomorrow’s Chiron station and shift in Pisces — from reverse to direct. Helping you build bridges of trust and faith with dear ones, friends and neighbors is a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link from Chiron to Uranus (9:24AM PST). The Scorpio New Moon (2:09PM PST) is followed four minutes later (2:13PM PST) by a Total Solar Eclipse at 22 degrees of Scorpio. Nearly simultaneously, Venus makes a potent, 135-degree liaison with Chiron (2:12PM PST). This implies that millions of human souls are hurting, but also looking to their fellow earthlings for guidance, nurturing and support. Use your words to heal — not harm. Find novel ways to assist the truly needy and disenfranchised. Accentuate crystal clear thinking to offset fuzzy analysis of reality as Mercury squares Neptune (4:04PM PST). With Mercury in reverse and Neptune barely in the plus column of direct motion, it is easy to swoon into a state of confusion and internal chaos that can lead you astray from key goals and plans. Adding to the strange dynamics going on right now is Mercury heading back into Scorpio (11:43PM PST) until December 10.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 10th

When numerous alignments occur within one 24-hour time-period, many changes are in the process of manifesting. Your job is steer clear of confusion and chaos. This issue is made more pertinent today because Neptune at 1 degree of Pisces ends five months of retrograde motion by halting its forward progress and beginning to move direct (11:53PM PST). Because this official station and turnaround occurs at the end of the day, all of this Saturday falls into a high-uncertainty category. Here’s the gauntlet of aspects you need to run through and past in order to stay grounded and mentally clear. Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Ceres (12:39AM PST) while Venus parallels Chiron (1:14AM PST). The first sky pattern may reduce your all-around productivity while the second link-up is a boost for healing treatments. However, the Moon in Virgo is still void until 1:36AM PST as the lunar orb enters Libra for the next two days. Productivity is still wavering as the Sun forms a dicey, 135-degree tie to Ceres (1:45AM PST). Better vibrations enter the astro-psychic scene a few hours later when the Moon parallels Chiron (4:01AM PST) and Venus (4:18AM PST). It is possible to utilize this double lunar parallel to reinforce romantic ties and primary partnership bonds that may have been fraying at the edges in recent days. Another reason to cheer about improved relationship ties is that Venus in Libra makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Juno in Sagittarius (7:17PM PST). Both of these celestial bodies, in an upbeat and favorable alignment, can superbly enhance feminine interests and offer emotional empowerment during a shaky evening when Neptune is motionless. With Neptune extra potent — due to its lack of motion from the Earth’s vantage point — focus your attention on its principal themes such as psychic sensitivity, creative imagination, artistic innovation, idealism, universal love-wisdom, religious beliefs, dreams and visions, music and dance, film and video work, photography, nebulosity, mental and emotional uncertainty, fanaticism, addictive behavior, con-artists and lying.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 7th

It may be hard to get your bearings and traction right now. With Mercury doing backstrokes for nearly three weeks, it is best to review and re-evaluate recent business, literary and educational pursuits. Be extra careful when using your John Hancock or making long-term agreements. Another fairly lengthy void lunar cycle — this time in Leo — enters the scene at 7:28AM PST (during a vitalizing Moon-Mars trine). This limbo time-period lasts until 8:36PM PST when the Moon enters earthy, meticulous Virgo. During the 13 hours when the Moon is in its uncertainty zone, finish odd jobs while you strive to go with the cosmic flow. You receive some incentive to accomplish several tasks from your to-do list as Mars makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Chiron (10:50AM PST). This aspect doubles as an encouragement regarding learning more about holistic healing and alternative medical techniques. Steer clear of mental burnout due to Pallas forming a square to Mars (12:24PM PST). The Moon’s entry into Virgo (8:36PM PST) puts the little details of life under the magnifying glass. Small is beautiful becomes your motto. Sewing, clean-up campaigns and repair work are accentuated with the current lunar transit in the sixth sign of the zodiac. Visualize yourself as a supreme organizer and efficiency master across the board.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 3

If you are looking for a silver lining in the recent cloud cover, you may be disappointed. It is helpful that the Moon leaves void status in Gemini by entering Cancer (12:44AM PDT). Home and family interests wax in power over the next two days. Overall productivity can climb in your main fields of expertise while healing forces are back on the march — thanks to the Moon forming a flowing trine with Chiron (10:57AM PDT). However, Venus and Mercury decide to play cosmic spoiler roles as they make turbulent waves with two of the three outer planets. Venus forms a frictional contra-parallel with Uranus (7:52AM PDT) while also making an intensity-creating square to distant Pluto (10:28AM PDT). Love bonds and business deals are on shaky grounds. Meanwhile, communications and travel plans may experience delays or disruptions as Mercury forms an off-kilter, 150-degree to the largest asteroid Ceres (3:27PM PDT). Cooking and baking can keep you busy and out of trouble during the evening hours. Immerse yourself in a bestseller, biography or film classic as the Moon approaches a trine with the Sun in water signs (forming exactly at 1:38AM PDT tomorrow morning).

About November

November – (Lat. novem, nine). It was the ninth month in the ancient Roman calendar, when the year began in March.

The old Dutch name was Slaghtmaand (slaughter-month, the time when the beasts were killed and salted down for winter use); the old Saxon Wind-monath (wind-month, when the fisherman took their boats ashore, and put aside fishing till the next spring); it was also called Blot-monath – the same as Slaghtmaand. In the French Republican Calendar it was called Brumaire (fog-month, 23 October to 21 November). Saxons also called it blot-monath, meaning blood month, because they killed cattle for Winter store; the name might also have referred to human sacrifice.

Frankish name: Herbistmanoth, or harvest (of animals) month. Asatru: Fogmoon. American backwoods: Beaver Moon. Almost the whole month coincides with the goddess-calendar month of Samhain (pronounced sow-ain), the feminine

personification of the Nove. She is an aspect of the Cailleach (veiled woman).

Next was November; he full grown and fat

As fed with lard, and that right well might seeme;

For he had been a fatting hogs of late,

That yet his browes with sweat did reek and steam;

And yet the season was full sharp and breem;

In planting eeke (also) he took no small delight,

Whereon he rode, not easy was to deeme

For it a dreadful centaure was in sight,

The seed of Saturn and fair Nais, Chiron hight.

Edmund Spenser, English poet (1552-1599)

No morn – no noon –

No dawn – no dusk – no proper time of day…

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,

No comfortable feel in any member –

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, –

November! ~Thomas Hood, English poet, 1799-1845

If on All Saints’Day the beech nut is dry, we shall have a hard winter; but if the nut be wet and not light,

we may expect a wet winter.

~English traditional proverb

If All Saints’ Day will bring out the winter, St Martin’s Day will bring out Indian summer.

~American traditional proverb

All Saints Summer lasts three hours, three days or three weeks. ~Traditional English saying

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 27th

This calendar has been in existence since 1981 and as each Full Moon approaches a reminder is often given out to make preparations for this monthly crest in the solar-lunar wave. Therefore, since the next Full Moon — energizing Scorpio and Taurus will be happening on Monday October 29 — it is recommended to prepare for the enlightening vibrations during the next 48 hours. You can do this by being an ambassador of goodwill, especially since the Moon in Aries has just joined forces with exhilarating Uranus and moving into a trine in fire signs with the red planet Mars in Sagittarius (5:45PM PDT). Fun-filled activities, games and sports are in the hopper. Tune into an air of enthusiasm as the Moon forms a resourceful, 60-degree link with giant Jupiter (6:33PM PDT). This latter lunar aspect also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:16PM PDT tomorrow. Although this is a long stretch of time — when it is best to finish old business on a high note instead of launching new plans — healing forces are back on the march as the Sun trines Chiron (8:51PM PDT). Learn more about advances on the cutting edge of science and alternative medicine.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 16

Try to keep up with your forward momentum. Yesterday’s Libra New Moon was awkwardly presented to humanity, but now under a Scorpio Moon dynamism and with the lunar orb trine Chiron (1:49AM PDT) consider ways to be a healing force to the people who help to turn your world around on a daily basis. Giving you a welcome and added boost in the early hours is a supportive, 60-degree rapport from Mercury to Venus (5:32AM PDT). The latter hours require more finesse to glide through since Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Jupiter (3:37PM PDT), Venus squares Jupiter (4:35PM PDT) while Venus also makes an abrasive, 45-degree contact with Saturn (9:10PM PDT). With friends like these, who needs enemies? Over-optimism and pride can lead to a fall. Add a dose of humility to avoid hubris and thinking you reside at the center of the universe. You may be able to extract some good vibes across the board from a supportive, 60-degree rapport between the Moon and Venus (7:17PM PDT) as well as the monthly Moon-Mercury union (7:24PM PDT). Increase the value of your emotional and mental IQ. Catch up on delayed correspondence. However, this last alignment begins a new void lunar stalemate that goes on until 5:27PM PDT tomorrow when the Moon switches its allegiance from Scorpio to Sagittarius. It is wise to hedge your bets during this long lunar limbo-period in the eighth sign of the zodiac. Studies in esoteric philosophy and about pyramid power, ancient ruins, UFOs, ETs, reincarnation, deja vu and oracles may give you an evening boost.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 14th

Yesterday’s darkening of the Moon’s energy-field becomes more palpable now since the next New Moon is only a day away. Batten down the hatches and lower your expectations about what can be done and how much can be accomplished — especially as the red planet Mars battles against wounded-healer Chiron via a square pattern (11:48AM PDT). Pull away from the struggles of life in order to enjoy a visit to an art gallery or museum. Try your hand at haiku, limericks or calligraphy. Treat a friend or loved one to lunch at a favorite cafe. Let your jovial demeanor take flight for a change of pace as the Moon in Libra trines Jupiter in Gemini (6:45PM PDT). Jupiter may still be in a tailspin, but any lunar trine to the largest planet in our solar system can equate with a rising tide of literary and educational pursuits. Pounce on sensational ideas, but write them down for future implementation after the New Moon takes hold tomorrow.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 8th

It would be great to report that the universe is back on track and that recent challenges have blown over. However, that’s not the case at all. The Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 16 degrees of Libra and Cancer at 12:34AM PDT) arrives with a thud as well as starting another void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 4:56AM PDT tomorrow. Any quarter moon phase suggests the need to cut through apparent obstacles that can block your high-destiny pathway. Adding to the murky conditions of the Moon being void in its home sign of Cancer, confusion is the name of the game since the Sun makes a frictional, 135-degree link with far-out Neptune (6:22AM PDT) while Venus clashes with shock-master Uranus via an off-kilter, 150-degree tie (6:55AM PDT). Play it safe regarding money matters and business affairs. Primary partnerships are also being tested right now to determine their level of intrinsic support and stamina when the chips are down. In the midst of this moody interlude, the later hours have an unusual appeal because the Sun trines Jupiter (10:53PM PDT) while Mercury trines Chiron (11:49PM PDT). There is suddenly an air of euphoria and inspiration floating around in the ethers and, if you are lucky enough and tuned into the moment, you may be able to capture a vision of the future that can change your life much for the better.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 29th

As an entrance into tonight’s Full Moon, yesterday was more of a frightener than a comforter. Unfortunately, last night’s Mars-Pluto parallel may have wreaked havoc across the board and some of those intense vibes remain in the psychic atmosphere. With the Moon in Pisces still in void mode, the Sun makes its annual opposition with Uranus (12:16AM PDT). Shock waves, surprises and overall unsettled conditions are par for the course right now. Mercury making a frictional, 135-degree link to Chiron (5:48AM PDT) may be able to be tweaked into offering you some healing and nurturing vibrations. The Moon leaves void status in Pisces by entering fiery Aries (6:15AM PDT). Bold ideas are ripe for the picking — particularly as the Moon embraces Pallas in their monthly union (8:30AM PDT). Your skills as a problem-solver and strategist may be called upon. However, another discordant aspect occurs as the Sun squares Pluto (10:56AM PDT). Now we have the center of our life — the radiant, light-giving and warmth-providing Sun — doing battle today with both revolutionary Uranus and underworld-ruling Pluto. Don’t fall victim to unnecessary bouts of self-doubt, worry and fear. Keep striving to bring illumination and tranquility to those near and dear to you. You will have a golden chance later on as the Moon unites with Uranus (6:42PM PDT) and even more so during the Full Moon — activating 8 degrees of Libra and Aries at 8:20PM PDT. Individual and group meditations are advised. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity in need of uplifting vibrations. Think of novel ways to nurture the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms that depend a lot on wise human stewardship.
