November 22-24: Showcase Your Heart

Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

This weekend’s magnanimous Leo Moon will have you ready to party hearty! Leo is all about romance and entertainment: This sign wants to live and love out loud. You’ll surely have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the very best of this weekend when it comes to social and romantic fun. In fact, you might be ready to send a grand gesture to someone special, leaving them with no doubt they hold your heart in their hands.

On Saturday, committed partnership is also supported, thanks to a positive link between Venus and Saturn. Isn’t it wonderful when you know you can truly rely on your mate? That’s what you’ll feel on Saturday, for sure. If you’ve recently started to date someone and realize that the love match has potential, it’s possible this weekend you’ll decide to make it an exclusive relationship.

The only potential rub in what will otherwise be a fabulous weekend is that on Sunday the Sun will square off with Neptune. Ladies, especially — you might not see the men in your lives very clearly. Is he up on a pedestal with halos all around him? Well … just make sure he deserves this sainthood status you’ve endowed him with.

Sagittarian Dreams – Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Sagittarian Dreams

Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Jeff Jawer on the topics of sun, sagittarius, astrology

The Sun shifts from deep-feeling Scorpio to farseeing Sagittarius on November 21, marking a turn away from the reflective side of emotions and toward a dynamic expression of our aspirations.

Scorpio is a glass-half-empty zodiac sign that tends to combine concerns from the past and pressures of the present to interpret life as a struggle. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is able to ignore yesterday — and in some cases even the present — to project hope forward to a more desirable future.

The likelihood for fulfillment grows

Transforming Scorpio-style fears into Sagittarian dreams doesn’t happen automatically, though. Even if the shifting cosmic tides start flowing in an optimistic direction, we’re as likely to get lost in them as we are to find the happiness that we seek. Yet when we do Scorpio’s work of diving into our desires, assessing our resources and establishing priorities, the likelihood of achieving fulfillment grows.

This is not a process of denying doubts and fears, but one of examining them, determining which, if any, are useful, and letting go of those that have outlived their usefulness. Eliminating these negatives seems like it should be easy, yet we often are so identified with our wounds that we resist releasing them and turning our lives in a new direction. So much of who we think we are is enmeshed in a sense of limits where even the most consciously desirable freedoms are often resisted.

Do your dreams have a chance of coming true?

Refusing to look forward and dive into the future is only one way we hold back the tides of change. Another way to ensure our lives stay the same is to invest in dreams that have little likelihood of turning into reality. The potential to get lost in clouds of illusion is common with the Sun in Sagittarius, especially this week, when it squares nebulous Neptune on Sunday. This is an indirect and usually unconscious way to undermine progress, because the reward for failing to advance is getting to stay where we are.

A secret to bringing Sagittarian visions down from the clouds is to use the concentrated powers of Scorpio. The focus and determination of the latter cuts through the promises of the former, tapping into the essence of our aspirations. Scorpio is not about what we like; it’s about what we absolutely need. When a dream goes from being a vague hope to a detailed picture of desire, it finds the soil in which it can take root. The obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals are broken down by the intense commitment and drive that’s at the heart of Scorpio.

Look back with courage and forward with faith

When we think about the future, we usually don’t want to look back. Yet when we use the model of the zodiac sign preceding the one that we’re in, we will often determine whether we advance, stay stuck or regress. The promises of Sagittarius grow from the depths of Scorpio, and it will draw sustenance from the hunger or struggle it represents.

This reminds us that there’s little value in drawing a line between positive and negative, as they are essential parts of one another. The alchemy of achievement is created when both the faith to look forward and the courage to look back are a stirred together in the pot of possibility.

Current Moon Phase for Nov. 21 – Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /74% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wed., November 20th

We start the day feeling anxious but our nervous energy gradually begins to settle down once the jittery Gemini Moon shifts into contemplative Cancer at 6:22 am EST. The edginess is emphasized by mental Mercury’s very early morning alignment with high-strung Uranus, elevating our expectations and encouraging rebellious behavior. Later in the evening, Mercury hooks up with penetrating Pluto to deepen our thoughts and activate our inner worlds.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Unfortunately, an uncontrolled slip of the tongue today might create more negativity than you wish. Speaking impulsively today may cause regret, but you cannot take back what you say. Thankfully, paying careful attention to the potential impact of your words prior to opening your mouth could prevent an unnecessary headache later on. Stopping to consider other people’s feelings first should be enough to save the day.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s no reason to be in a hurry today even if you’re trying to resolve the tension between you and a loved one. Although you might be feeling a sense of urgency, taking your time may be the most intelligent tactic you can employ now. Thankfully, stressful emotions should settle down on their own, enabling you to process the previously frazzled energy. Don’t bother looking for quick solutions. Your inner guide will reveal the best path, but only if you have the wisdom to slow down and wait for the inspiration.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Accomplish as much as possible today, especially since you may grow less ambitious over the days ahead. By working harder you can burn off some excess energy which increases your ability to concentrate on one thing at a time. But don’t think that you’ll miss something important just because you choose to narrow your focus. Instead of obsessively competing with others for a more dominant role now, perform your job to the best of your ability and then move on to what’s next.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

If you’re worried about the final outcome of a situation, remember that everything unfolds at its own rate and resolution may remain out of reach for now. Luckily, something unusual could happen today that snaps you out of your anxiety, even if no one else wants to acknowledge how much has changed in just a few short hours. You should explain your newfound optimism, especially if others are working hard to hide the truth. Just remember that blame doesn’t help your cause. Lead by example to make your point.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You dream about escaping now, instead of facing how much work there is for you to do. Happily, you may be able to sneak away from a few unpleasant chores today by simply going into hiding. However, denial isn’t a viable option because it doesn’t offer a lasting solution. It’s okay to withdraw a bit, but stay grounded and ready to interact if needed. A surprising turn of events might just change things for the better.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Relaxing your focus on work may seem like a good idea but could leave you feeling a bit lost. The Moon sidles into your egalitarian 11th House of Friends this morning, enabling you to maintain a cool demeanor in most social situations. Broadening your horizons and expanding your network gives you and others much-needed hope. But don’t allow the present situation to dictate what’s real. Open your eyes to all of the possibilities and take a leap of faith.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might be stressed out by your current need to feel your own power today, especially if someone important seems to be blocking your personal expression. Thankfully, time is on your side now, so don’t make up reasons to speed up the pace or you may just have to work harder than necessary. Nevertheless, don’t be afraid to add your two cents while you still have something to say that could dissipate the resistance.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A wave of uncertainty grows stronger and may dissuade you from attempting to manifest your dreams. However, this is not a great day to sit back and talk about unrealized potential. Wake up and get going as early as possible because you have a lot of work to do and the sooner you start, the sooner you will finish. You can make solid progress now if you put away your doubts and believe in yourself.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You aren’t in the mood to do a whole lot of relationship processing today, but a complex array of circumstances appears to push you in the direction of self-analysis anyhow. Thankfully, you stand to gain crucial insight now, even if you were already sure that you knew the score. Remember, you can’t just walk away from your obligations. Thankfully, once you accept the inevitable and consciously face your fears, you could be amazed by how fast things can improve.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your natural inclination may be to prevent others from seeing your vulnerability by hiding the true you from sight. Nevertheless, you have a deep reservoir of courage; it’s time now to dig it up and use it accordingly to stand up to your ghosts of relationships past. Messenger Mercury’s supportive sextile to transformational Pluto motivates you to sink to the bottom of the well so you can reinvent yourself out of sight. Just remember that once your inner work is done, the key to growth is in honest communication with those you love.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might know exactly how to improve your health now, yet you don’t want to tell anyone about your current realizations. Worse, you may be tempted to take no action at all, even if change is desperately needed. Luckily, you’re smart enough to understand the importance of taking care of yourself. Resist the waves of complacency and break free from the status quo by enlisting the support of someone you trust. Make the most of the power of now.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may attempt to hide your vulnerabilities from others today and go to great lengths in order to protect your feelings. However, there’s no need to be overly dramatic now as you demonstrate your fondness for someone special. Nevertheless, expressing your desires isn’t only about clearing the air; it also improves your chances of getting what you want. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 18th

Actions may speak louder than words this week, thanks to a positive dose of expansive Martian energy. On Tuesday, Mars will link up to Jupiter, offering plenty of confidence and gusto to pursue your heart’s desire. On Saturday, Venus will be at a sextile to Saturn, helping keep both feet on the ground while you allow your heart to soar. By Sunday, however, the Sun will square off with Neptune, and all may not be what it appears to be despite your idealism.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your heart takes flight this week when the Sun, ruler of your 5th House of Romance, enters optimistic Sagittarius on Thursday. You may feel a stronger sense of wanderlust, and if so now will be an ideal time to consider a vacation with your sweetheart. The more exotic the better! On Sunday, you might feel all warm and fuzzy as you and your love enjoy a spiritual connection that may feel too good to be true. Ask your lover to pinch you so you know you’re not really dreaming.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A scintillating conversation with your lover will likely get your heart racing on Tuesday. Even if you can’t see each other on this day, be sure to spend time on the phone or exchange a few sexy text messages. If you live together, the act of your mate doing housework or cooking dinner will really turn you on. Don’t forget to offer a proper thank you! On Saturday, Venus will be at a supportive link to Saturn and you’ll take a step back to feel grateful for where you are in your relationship: Secure.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Talking to a coworker you trust about an intimate matter in your personal life may help you sort things out on Wednesday. If it’s a colleague you have romantic feelings for, you might be surprised at how easy it is to reveal your emotional state by Saturday. Although your focus will be on committed partnership after Thursday, you might have the one you love on a higher pedestal than he or she deserves — especially on Sunday. Open your heart … and your eyes.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You and your partner may work together to make a vital decision on Wednesday. Whatever is happening, know that the choice you make as a couple will further empower your relationship. On Saturday, you’ll continue to enjoy a feeling of solidarity with your mate. If you have children together, you’ll be in complete agreement over how to handle a testy situation. If you don’t, you may create a framework around a joint creative endeavor. One thing is certain: This week your relationship will be rock-solid.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Romance will take center stage this week, which will surely delight you. The catch? You may be so enamored with the glamorous trappings of your love life that you neglect to separate fantasy from reality. The good news is that with the Sun entering your romance sector on Thursday, you’ll shine a light on making love … and making love work. Still, a nasty square from the Sun to Neptune on Sunday might leave you licking wounds of disappointment when it comes to your intimate life. A fantasy might be better off kept to yourself — at least for now.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’ll have plenty of motivation to spice up your social life early in the week, which will help your love life, ultimately. On Tuesday, consider attending a meeting or other social function. If single, you might not leave the event alone! On Saturday, a stabilizing conversation between you and your sweetheart (if attached) will convince you that working together strategically is what it takes to make any love relationship work. A joint decision you make on this day will stand the test of time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Behind the scenes support from your partner might be the catalyst prompting you to reach for new professional heights. Although your mate could prefer to remain a silent cheerleader, don’t underestimate his or her ability to make you feel capable of achieving your goals. By Saturday, you and your partner will likely feel more secure about a domestic or financial matter. If you’re considering an investment in real estate, you’ll be on the same page when it comes to how much you can realistically afford.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A serious conversation about a love relationship will be in order this week, and it may take place on Wednesday or Saturday. This might not even be a talk with your mate, but it could be a private dialogue you have with yourself instead. Don’t avoid this honest assessment. If you can sort out whatever holds you back in matters of the heart, it’s possible you’ll finally feel free to give your all in love. With Saturn in your sign, you are certainly ready for commitment. The question is, have you found the right person to commit to?

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

With the Sun moving into your sign on Thursday, you’ll have an “anything is possible” outlook to the ‘nth degree! When it comes to relationships, you’ll begin to put more energy on expressing your most vital self to a partner. Thankfully, you’ll also feel more appreciated than ever for simply being yourself. On Saturday, your mate will be an encouraging influence, supporting you as you cultivate one of your talents that you typically keep behind closed doors. Your partner already sees the best in you and now, you’ll agree.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Don’t discount the potential to intensify your love life this week by focusing on a humanitarian effort with your mate. It appears you’ll be busy in conversation with a group regarding such an endeavor on Wednesday. Your input will be valuable because you’ll create a plan to achieve a successful outcome out of everyone else’s high ideals. By Saturday, expect your lover to join in this effort once you discover that he or she shares the same passion to help others as you do.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If there was ever a week to talk to your partner about whatever it is you’ve been trying to sweep under the rug, this is it. Don’t feel anxious about initiating a difficult conversation, even if it means communicating about a subject you both try hard to avoid. Recognize that until you talk about this situation it’ll be an ugly thorn in your side, potentially diminishing what is a fantastic relationship otherwise. Have the talk, clear the air and then move on.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Now that Mars is in your partnership sector, you’re extremely motivated to stir the pot in relationship matters. You might initiate more arguments than usual, or you may enjoy being extra physical with your mate. Thankfully, on Tuesday you’ll enjoy the best, rather than the worst, of what Mars in the 7th House of Partnership offers. Mars will connect to Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance. You’ll have plenty of stamina to enjoy a new sexual or creative adventure with your lover. Good for you!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 17th

Rise to the occasion as the monthly enlightening Full Moon — energizing 26 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus — clocks in at 7:17AM. Individual and group meditations are encouraged. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to loved ones, friends, associates, humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Reflect more on your higher destiny in this lifetime and how you can be an ambassador of goodwill instead of fulfilling personal desires. You may have quite a few hours to continue in a contemplative mode since the exact time of the Full Moon (7:17AM) begins a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 4:08PM. Let go of any stubborn behavior patterns that are holding you back from making breakthroughs in higher consciousness. Find time for lunch at a favorite cafe and visit a museum, art gallery or national landmark for a change of pace. Once the Moon switches gears from earthy Taurus to airy Gemini (4:08PM), focus your attention on reading, writing and research. Start preparing for Chiron’s station in Pisces on Tuesday as it leaves retrograde motion to turn direct. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

SATURDAY – The Day of Reckoning,  The Day of Saturn

SATURDAY

The Day of Reckoning The Day of Saturn

saterndaeg or soeterdaeg (Anglo-Saxon) samstag (Germanic) dies saturni (Latin) sani-var or sanichar (Hindu) sunneecher (Islamic) samedi (French) dou youbi (Japanese)

Traditionally seen as the seventh day of the week. The Latin name for this day was ‘Dies Saturni’ meaning the ‘Day of Saturn’ (Saturn being a Roman deity) which was later developed by the Anglo-Saxons to ‘Soeterdoeg’. Saturn was associated with the ancient Greek ‘Kronos’ or ‘Time’ (some refer to this deity as Father Time). Kronos was said to have attempted to devour each one of his children but was unsuccessful with ‘Neptune’ or ‘Water’, ‘Jupiter’ or ‘Air’ and ‘Pluto’ or ‘The Grave’ as it was believed that not even Time can harm these. Jupiter eventually banished Saturn from his thrown. Saturn was also known as the God of the Seed and Harvest being symbolised by a scythe. Those who practised the ancient art of alchemy believed that Saturn was linked to the metal lead, and that anyone born under this sign would be influenced by its evil nature. Alchemists referred to the ‘Tree of Diana’ also known as the ‘Philosopher’s Tree’ as ‘Saturn’s Tree’. Modern astrologers indeed still link the disposition of anyone born under the influence of Saturn as being likened to the qualities of the metal, these being gloomy, dull, sluggish, grave, phlegmatic:

‘Then rose the seed of Chaos and of Night To blot out order and extinguish light. Of dull and venal a new world to mould, And bring Saturnian days of lead and gold.’ Pope : Dunciad, IV, 13.

Saturday in India is traditionally believed to be an unlucky day as this is the day dedicated to the God of Misfortune named ‘Sani’. In Ireland (UK) it is believed that if a the visual phenomena of a rainbow appears on this day then the following week will be nothing but wet weather. In Scotland (UK) it was traditionally believed that any child born on this day would have the gift of seeing ghosts. In rural areas of the British Isles it was traditionally believed to be bad luck to change jobs on a Saturday, an old English (UK) rhyme to support this was:

‘Saturday servants never stay, Sunday servants run away.’

‘Black Saturday’ was the name given to August 4 1621. It is said that a violent storm symbolically blew-up in Scotland (UK) at the moment when Parliament was in the house discussing whether to make change of the Episcopacy laws, and force this upon the people of Scotland. According to the English historian Richard Grafton certain dates of the month were unlucky as published in the ‘Manual’ in 1565. Days throughout the year were identified and of course could have related to any day of the week. The date was the most important point to consider. The work was reputed to have some credence with support given by astronomers of the day.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wed., November 13th

We wake up today feeling as if it will be a whole new ballgame, but as the day wears on we realize it may not be as easy as we think. The Moon’s shift into enterprising Aries at 2:39 am EST reminds us that we can accomplish nearly anything if we believe in ourselves. But the Moon’s challenging aspects to indulgent Venus, unpredictable Uranus and unforgiving Pluto could put a damper on the evening unless we loosen our grip on the reins of control.
