Tonight, the evening before Thanksgiving, is a full moon in Gemini. And tomorrow, on Thanksgiving Day is a Saturn / Neptune square. Here's what it all means and why you might be 'feeling it.'
The full moon (which is in Gemini) opposes the Sun (which this time is in Sagittarius) putting the energies of both signs face to face. Gemini is the data seeker, fact finder, news and media buzz, and those 'oh so welcome' opinions from friends. Gemini tends to get high on information overload but can get bogged down in the anxiety of processing it all.
Sagittarius is a truth seeker. It seeks a meaning to things and clarity. The push / pull of Gemini and Sagittarius facing off will ask us to breath in and breath out the overload of information in your brain and seek patience to find the truth. Gemini likes to fill in the silence and space with one million theories of what may or may not happen next. Sagittarius waits for clarity. So where are you seeing some unclarity in your life? Where are you filling in the blanks when you don't REALLY know the truth? Are you spinning facts? Are you maybe projecting some of your own thoughts or what people have told you to think onto the situation. Look at your new challenge with excitement and hope as opposed to nervousness and speculation. Wait. And. See.
In addition, I've read that tonight is considered a moon for clearing out the old to make room for the new. What outdated data to you have stored up in your brain or in your space that you can get rid of to make way for a clearer picture of your life?
Interestingly enough, Saturn / Neptune is a similar energy and face off ... not the SAME but similar. Neptune represents your dreams and wishes. It can also on the negative side, represent illusion. Illusion can mean you aren't seeing things so clearly and that you need to take off your rose colored glasses. Maybe the situation is way worse than your dreamy little mind made up. OR on the contrary, maybe you are focusing on the negative and creating your own obstacles which are just made up in your head. Maybe life is way sweeter and easier than you anticipated. Saturn will challenge this energy by providing structures and tasks. So let's say you want to spend your life as an artist...what do you need to do to MAKE this happen. How much money does it take to pay the bills. Get two jobs, paint portraits on the side. Let's be realistic. You can have your dream. But a dream is best grown when rooted in reality.
This square will either have you fall back into your old patterns, or evolve into being able to see clearly that your dreams CAN happen, but you just have to put some realistic parameters around them. There is patience and discernment required to see this through. This isn't an action taking energy, but a wait, observe, and let things settle in your gut to see how to best handle aforementioned 'dream.'
These energies don't just apply to the next few days. It kicks off a bit of a cycle. So have patience, clear the clutter and see what unfolds!

Shedding some light.
November 11 is a New Moon falling in Scorpio...while the Sun is also in Scorpio. They have turned off the lights, double time. And it's time we shed some light.
To remind you, for those of you who haven't put your finger on what Scorpio energy is in your life.... it's dark, intense, probing, primal, emotional and truth seeking. Once you put two and two together. You won't ever forget what 'Scorpio' means. Yes you've encountered it. It's the energy that drives you to drink.... In fact, the negative side of Scorpio is addiction, but let's roll with the positive which is 'transformation.
The Sun entered Scorpio at the end of October as usual, with the dark feeling of the sign perfectly lining up with us welcoming Daylight savings and grumbling at it feeling like midnight at 5:30pm. Yes, grumble away, because this darkness forces us to seek light in other ways...especially within ourselves. While we welcome the first glimpse of hibernation and introspection that is to come with Winter, we start to explore our inner selves. Yeah, I know....UGH. But that looking within part IS the LIGHT.
The New Moon in Scorpio however, offers us a new fresh beginning after this introspection. It's the feeling of cleaning out the junk in your attic and beginning to welcome in a fresh / lighter energy. But to do this, we have to unearth some crap. Dark, primal - "I am standing naked in front of my classmates" - "I just pulled the nasty hair out of the drain," "Really? I don't wanna go there" fear based crap.
But do it. Get rid of it. Face the 3 foot hairball in your proverbial drain. Because, with this comes a reward. Once you own it, face it, stop fighting it, covering it up and just LET IT GO...your bathtub drains easier, you realize it was all a dream, and you can find the light and lightness of life again. It's realizing the monster under your bed was just a toy clown puppet with strings..haha Just kidding, bad metaphor...
How about the monster under your bed was actually the way the moonlight shined on the floor and goes away in daylight. See it gets light! Light solves it all and it gets brighter. I promise. Because Sagittarius is coming up. And that is the PARTY PARTY fiery time we like to call the Holidays.
Referring to the blog, http://www.leahwhitehorse.com/2015/11/09/new-moon-in-scorpio-november-2015-fate/ the writer gives a great metaphor about not being able to plant a seed unless you dig deep. This is that exact energy. You have to release the old, the outdated, the nasty weeds and old rotten plants and till that soil to make space for this new seed to grow. The above link is an awesome article that definitely resonated. I'd recommend a quick read.
One of the symbols of Scorpio is a snake....shedding its old skin, another a Phoenix, dying and being reborn. Check out this fella that greeted me on my doorstep yesterday to remind me....
There is newness always after the letting go. What new things are ahead??? Hopefully something REALLLLL GOOD....So, let that be your driver.
So brace for it and face it and we'll meet you on the other side in December for some fiery Sagittarius energy!

Don't Worry Be Dreamy
Last night, my friends and I noticed the beautiful full and bright moon! It seems I've created at least one monster because one of them had to know: what does it mean???? You know who you are; you got yourself a post! :)
What fun is life if we don't read into things!? Viola Astrology!
Today at 2:35pm the full moon is in Pisces opposite the Sun in Virgo. Full moons bring things to a head or culmination, and then !POP!, release! With this, full moons are a good time to let go and to give in to resolve. And how we know what the theme is around that release is to look at the signs of Pisces and Virgo. The Sun represents our ego - this time in Virgo; and our emotional nature is represented by the moon - this time in Pisces. There is always a push pull between the two, trying to find a balance.
Virgo represents order, structure, details, health and daily routines. It is a sign of service and hard work. On the "not so great" flip side, it encompasses worry and getting too caught up in those nitty gritty details, and obsessing about controlling your world and routine. Virgo is the sign of hypochondriacts and OCD.
Pisces is a dreamer, connected to the higher knowledge and spirituality. However, Pisces can get too caught up in illusion and non-reality. Pisces has an intution beyond every other sign, depth of understanding but can sometimes forget to take off those rose colored glasses.
So what's the balance? This full moon challenges us to have faith in the details. . . work hard but know that ultimately there is a high power in control of the outcome. Don't dream along with your head in the clouds soley relying on hope; put in the balance of the work to make your dream happen. Stay rooted in reality, paying attention to your health and taking care of yourself (but not just your physical self)....our spirit and mindset needs nurturing too.
So what is coming to a head in your life? What have you been signaled reminded or to rebalance around these themes? Where are you too 'Virgo' or where are you too 'Pisces'? Get it balanced out! Here's some Saturday food for thought and to self reflect.....

FINALLY, Forward Motion
Upon request, I am turning out a quick post about what the heck is happening in the stars.
I've heard from multiple friends that they've had major shake up and shock in their lives in the last few weeks. The good news? It could possibly carry them into a new chapter! Most of the buzz I've heard has been job related - big job losses, moves, great new offers, etc. (Lots of profound life 'happenings' among the people around me.) But the feeling is, it is all meant to be and 'good.'
I did a little digging and it seems the culprit is SATURN!
This fella in the sky is a hard-ass taskmaster. And from October 2012 to December 2014, he was in Scorpio - the sign of depth, emotion, and unearthing your issues. He took us to task for two years to help us face some fears, and release some of the patterns that hold us back in life. (Think back to this time in your life and see what it meant for you.)
Then, hallelujah!!! Saturn moved into Sagittarius from December 24, 2014 through June 2015. Life eased up and felt more like a party - put it on the tab at the bar on our fiery friend Sagittarius! ! !
Hold up a minute...what's a party without a hangover? - the fun stopped when Saturn moved BACK into Scorpio on June 14. Summer blues anyone? The good news, it's just for one more month until September 17. Think of those two years mentioned above - what issues did the taskmaster unravel for you? This summer is the ultimate FINAL exam. He is bringing back some of these issues, situations and feelings to see if you finally know what you want in life and can sift through problems with more confidence and ease.
Can you hold those boundaries? Can you make out what is good for you and what is better left in the dust? Can you figure out what things are actually a problem and what's just a problem in your mind?
It's been a bit hectic, since January, Saturn was moving forward, then backwards (back into Scorpio) and as of August 2, Saturn now starts to move forward again in the final month of 'Saturn in Scorpio' until he reaches Sagittarius in September. So think of a train switching directions - you can feel a big jostle and disorientation in your life as you change direction yet again. But like I said, as of last week at least we are now moving FORWARD for a while. This is a new beginning! Take chances, and opportunities that come your way! And with Mars in Leo, make sure you take action with the kind of passion and heart that the King of the jungle would.
A few other factors...
Venus is in retrograde from July 25 - September 5. I think I've written about this before but Venus, the planet of love and money is moving backwards. This is a time to revise the way you make money, (i.e. your job), and expect ghosts of relationship past to haunt you. This could be past lovahs OR just people from your past popping up out of nowhere. I can say for myself - I have run into 2 random folks from my job and school in the past week. The stars ain't no joke.
Alright now, here is some stuff you don't want to understand and I don't really want to explain. But take my word for it... Saturn Squares Jupiter and Semi-Squares Pluto (yeah, I don't really know either). This apparently means that we are forced to adjust our expectations of life. Reality rears it's ugly or not so ugly head and you've got to tweak to fit. We may have imagined life playing out differently but once we confirm what the reality is in our world....we just have to adjust our steps to move forward. I personally find it refreshing. Just gimme the skinny and I can finally move forward with clarity! Don't fumble. Make your adjustments and get on with life! It is what it is.
One more note: Jupiter enters Virgo August 11 -I liked this aspect so had to mention. Take care of your health! Routines, fitness, etc. I know I have definitely been feeling this one. Home made almond milk anyone? Hot yoga? Getting enough rest? I guess I jumped on this train a few weeks early. When in doubt love thyself first. You can't handle stress without making sure me, myself and I is in tip-top shape. So spend a little time on you to get through all this change!
Send me a note anytime you guys want a post! I love hearing when you are noticing a shift too.
