From November 23rd to the 30th passions overrule reasoning.
However, fresh insights exert some directive influence over our gathering enthusiasm. Our common tasks must still be done, but beyond our concentration on everyday routines, there seems to be a new zest for life. The world is still digesting an overly polarized reality, but people seem more confident.
23rd – Monday – Venus Sesquiquadrate Neptune, Mercury Trine Neptune –
Inspiration is enlivening our regular duties. New possibilities emerge. Everything seems easier than it did a few weeks ago. We all feel energy building toward a crescendo. Many of us will be going it alone, but it is possible to reach out and include others in our dreamy vision of life renewed.
24th – Tuesday – It’s a time of taking action.
Theories provide motivation, but they only have significance when they are put into practice. Healing the gulf between how we are and how we would like to become through honest self-appraisal. Next, we must be willing to do the work.
25th – Wednesday – Sun Parallel Saturn –
Careful planning and diligent effort make this day productive. It is important to keep moving even when the humdrum signals from the environment seem less than inspiring. This is one of those moments where we must “make hay while the sun is shining.”
26th – Thursday – When we feel that circumstances conspire against us, it is time to stop, take stock, and see what the cosmos has in mind for us.
Sometimes when a door closes we have to go headlong anyway; sometimes we need to change directions, and other times we just have to remain calm and wait. Wisdom comes by deciphering the personal message in the unforeseen.
27th – Friday – Mercury Sextile Pluto, Venus Opposite Uranus –
Plans change. Unexpected interests interrupt our journey. Inviting others into our world, or joining them in theirs, is exciting. Doors are opening and opportunity arrives. It’s ok to think big and take some bold steps. There is a cascade effect, where one challenge, correctly handled, leads to something even more interesting.
28th – Saturday – Sun Parallel Jupiter, Neptune turns Direct, Mercury Sextile Jupiter –
Our vision widens and our ethical grid correctly filters the approaching circumstances. Enthusiasm and joy prompt decisions; life seems more vibrant. Even with a great lift in spirits, our actions have to stay on some realistic track to have any meaningful effect.
29th – Sunday – Sun Quincunx Uranus, Sun Semi-square Pluto –
It is important that we don’t get pulled off the railroad only to get lost in the wilderness of unobtainable treasures. Some of what we see is fanciful imagination, some of our vision is for the future, and some of it is mental cleansing. Being at peace and meditating allows evaluation of our situation more clearly.
30th – Monday – The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4:31 AM EST is on the 8th degree of Sagittarius/Gemini, Venus Contra-parallel Uranus, Mercury Sextile Saturn –
Letting go of the past is the mantra for this eclipse day. By choosing freedom, we easily renounce relationships, circumstances, and projects that imprison us. Gaining true detachment comes in stages as it is a process. Taking affirming steps leaves us feeling happier and more useful.

I’ve been more involved in circumstances in the world. All creation is a dream, an illusion.
Still, this illusion is necessary for the development of consciousness. I’m in the process of finishing up what I must for this lifetime. When things are going wonderfully in life, most people do not get interested in growing in consciousness. It takes a crisis to wake us up; there is a higher meaning to life. I have been most fortunate that my own journey to truth has been joyful.
Several years back I started reconnecting with people from my past that I had slighted.
I’ve asked for forgiveness. I could not do this with a clear conscience until I’d forgiven everyone that I feel had hurt me in some way. I’ve forgiven all of my past long ago.
Coming in April, I will give a series of talks covering what I have learned during the last half a century.
Originally I had planned to do this in November of 2023, but an inner prompting, and external circumstances, have forced a speed up in this timeline. As a spiritual aspirant and an astrologer, I have tried to share some of this through channels that I felt would be most appropriate, but I see clearly now; I must do this entirely under my own banner. Still, all are welcome.

Climate change affects every area of life. Out of the many documentaries I have seen on what we are doing to the environment, this is the first one that gave me hope. If you have Netflix please, please, please take the time to see it: “Kiss the Ground”. You absolutely must see it. This is the manifestation of Uranus in Taurus I have been waiting for, maybe you have too.
