Week of 11.30.15
KAT'S WEEKLY OVERVIEW FOR NOVEMBER 30
A Mighty Magnanimous Moon
As the week begins, we’re treated to two full days of the Moon in fiery, lionhearted Leo. On Monday, the Leo Moon teams up with productive Saturn and can-do Mars, making it the perfect day to get things done. If you’ve been stuck on a project or putting off a difficult task, there’ll be a mighty wind at your back to help you break through. Leo’s big-hearted magnanimity will also have us feeling especially generous. As wonderful as that is, there are budget-busting implications, especially at this time of the year. The good news is that it’s Cyber Monday so, hopefully, those lavish impulses will be met with some equally generous deals. On Tuesday, the Leo Moon is collaborating with innovative Uranus, communicative Mercury and artistic Venus, amping up your creativity and cleverness. All communications are favored and brainstorming could yield brilliant results.
Woe Is Wednesday?
I don’t know about you, but I, and everyone I came in contact with last week, had a really tough day last Wednesday. I mention this because we’re having a similar transit this Wednesday (thankfully, minus last week’s turbulent Full Moon), with the Virgo Moon in a tense aspect with the Saturn/Neptune square. A chief challenge of the Virgo Moon/Saturn combo is to avoid being overly harsh and critical, of both yourself and others. The difficulty with the Virgo Moon/Neptune connection is that it foments free-floating anxiety and self doubt. The best way to prevent falling into this dual spiral of negativity is by lowering your expectations for the day and focusing on routine, small-picture stuff. Try to keep your head down and steer clear of conflict. But if you don’t think you’ll be able to stay out of trouble, stay home!
Though there may be some lingering effects on Thursday from the Saturn/Neptune vibe, you should be able to take full advantage of that industrious, detail-driven Virgo Moon to have a busy and productive day. The Moon is Void most of Friday, so plan smart: avoid scheduling important meetings and hold off on any holiday shopping until the Moon moves into Libra at 5:34p.
Red Light/Green Light, Venus Gets Down
Also on Friday, an ardent Venus will enter sexy Scorpio, through 12/29. When this foxy minx penetrates the deep, dark realm of this mysterious sign, she brings out our lustier, shadowy side. She can also stir up suspicions, as she slithers through Scorpio’s serpentine maze of mistrust. That, combined with a wicked tendency to dredge up the past, means you could find yourself entangled in a passionate imbroglio as full of intrigue as any episode of Scandal. What fun! Think of Venus in Scorpio as a heat-seeking missile. Will you find red-hot love or will the green-eyed monster rear its ugly head? Stay tuned.
WEEKEND FORECAST
Fairly sociable and romantic. With the Moon in relationship-oriented Libra all weekend, Friday and Saturday are the best nights for coupling up, socializing with friends and/or a night on the town. Sunday, however, could turn dark and stormy when an antagonistic Mars squares off with an incendiary Pluto. This is a combustible combo if ever there was one, but especially now that Venus is in jealous Scorpio. I’m not saying you should stay home and hide under the covers, although that’s my plan. But it’s probably best to keep a low profile on Sunday—unless you actually enjoy raging meltdowns and emotional upheavals.
