Mercury in Sagittarius (I think big!)  When Mercury, planet of the mind, is in Sagittarius, the sign of higher education people are more interested in expanding the mind through education, philosophy and travel.  Sagittarius represents the archetype of the adventurer, so this more about learning through experience rather than through books. People may turn to some form of writing as well and so with the end of the current year and the beginning of the new year right around the corner this is a good time to review one's accomplishments in 2020 and think about what their goals and aspirations for 2021. You can imagine big things for yourself now and develop a plan for making them so.  The astrological house where Sagittarius falls in your Natal, or Birth, Chart is the area of life where you will most feel the energy shift of Mercury in Sagittarius.

• If Aries is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 9th House.
• If Taurus is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 8th House.
• If Gemini is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 7th House.
• If Cancer is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 6th House.
• If Leo is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 5th House.
• If Virgo is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 4th House.
• If Libra is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 3rd House.
• If Scorpio is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 2nd House.
• If Sagittarius is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 1st House.
• If Capricorn is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 12th House
• If Aquarius is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 11th house
• If Pisces is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 10th House.

With Mercury in Sagittarius and the 2nd house you are thinking about how you can create more comfort, security, and value for yourself. While you think bigger and better, you are still slower to make decisions now and take a more reserved approach to life in general. You don't want to make too many changes too fast. Now would be a good time to start thinking about the things you want to accomplish in the new year. You can start by making a list. You may also considering making a purchase of new technology like an ipad, laptop, or cell phone. It would be wise to take your time do your research and make sure that you get the best deal for the amount you're willing to pay. This is a good time to review your budget and consider making decisions about your finances that will bring you more security and value.ExampleMercury + Sagittarius + 2nd House

Aspects  Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimensions of chart interpretation that is important to consider. If you have any planets of positions near 0° Sagittarius then they may form aspects to Mercury. For example. in my own chart transit Mercury at 0° Sagittarius is separating a sextile to Neptune in 2° Aquarius.  A sextile is a type of aspect that represents compatibility and cooperation, so a sextile between Mercury and Neptune indicates the mind and perception are working in harmony.  Intuition could be sharper, and you can communicate what you are sensing better now.  You're more in tune with your sense of compassion so you're more willing to forgive others. You're more romantic and dreamy. Where does Sagittarius fall in your Natal Chart and how will it manifest for you?

You may meet someone who opens up new avenues for you that will also help you to secure more money, make it last, or who will help you examine and define what you value and what you do not.

Full Moon in Taurus 11/19/21

 

Full Moon in Taurus

Natural Chart / Whole Houses

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs. As you can see from the chart above the Moon is in 27° Taurus and the Sun is in 27° Scorpio making this a Full Moon

The Big Picture

The Sun is transiting the area of the chart that rules over shared resources, while the Taurus Full Moon is strengthening our sense of self-worth and personal values. So there is a dynamic here of what is ours versus what is mine. In the natural chart, Taurus is aligned with the second house which is a succedent house. A Full Moon in a succedent house highlights our sense of security and what we need in order to feel secure in our lives.

A Full Moon in Taurus and the 2nd house would indicate a need to (re)evaluate our sense of self-worth and personal values. We may even find that our individual values do not mesh well with the values of those around us. You may feel that someone is trying to control you or change you in a way that you do not wish to be controlled or changed.

This is a good time to pay off any debts. You can indulge yourself more and, unless you exercise moderation, there is danger of eating more for pleasure that out of need leading to gluttony; or spending too much money on unnecessary item.

The Full Moon is making an exact conjunction to Transit Uranus. With this type of aspect people's emotions can be more erratic and unpredictable. They may feel more unconventional and rebellious. Intuition may be more acute and they can pick up more psychic cues on a subconscious level.

How to Work with Full Moon in Taurus Energy

• Ascertain the natal house influenced by the Full Moon in Taurus
• Check for aspects between the Full Taurus Moon and planets in your Natal Chart.
• Draw up a budget for yourself that you can stick to. Figure out what you can do without or don't need anymore. For example, I have a Netflix account but rarely use it, so I may consider canceling the account.
• Open a savings account or a 401K. If you already have either of these, review your contribution amount to see if you can increase how much you save or invest. Ask you company about matching contributions.
• Purchase homeowners or renter's insurance.
• Exercise more patience
• Make a list of those personal values (loyalty, honesty, etc. )  that are important to you and strive to nurture and emulate those qualities in yourself.
• Make an inventory of your personal valuables and put this list in a safe place.
• Rather than buy new things to make you feel better or to keep up with the Joneses, learn to appreciate what you have.
• As far as possible, without creating a financial hardship for yourself, pay off a debt.
• If you have debt. call your lender and see if you can re-negotiate your interest rate.

Example

To better understand how the Full Moon in Taurus will affect you, you need to look at the house that Taurus occupies in your Natal, or birth, Chart.  For example, in my Natal Chart, Taurus is in the 7th house of relationships. A full moon in the 7th house will highlight issues of relationships. Whereas a New Moon brings something new into your life, a Full Moon can often bring endings and completion. With the Full Moon in the Taurus and the 7th House, you can re-evaluate your personal values as it pertains to the relationships in your life. It is possible that a relationship could end or a new one can begin.  This is also a good time to give your partner a little more space in the relationship, allow them to grow and shine on their own.

Mercury in Scorpio 11/5/21

Mercury in Scorpio

Natural Chart / Whole Houses

Mercury rules the mind and our ability to think and Scorpio represents the archetype of the researcher, so the mind is receptive to investigation and research now. When Mercury is in Scorpio people can, generally speaking, be more suspicious and fond of crime and mysteries in general. They can be more passionate and intense in regards to anything that they find themselves curious about or which they do not understand. They may also be more apt to talk about sex and sexual needs (especially with their partner).

The natal house Scorpio occupies in your birth chart is the area of life where Mercury in Scorpio will be felt.

• If Aries is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 8th House
• If Taurus is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 7th House
• If Gemini is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 6th House
• If Cancer is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 5th House
• If Leo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 4th House
• If Virgo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 3rd House
• If Libra is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 2nd House
• If Scorpio is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 1st House
• If Sagittarius is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 12th House
• If Capricorn is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 11th House
• If Aquarius is your rising sign, the Scorpio is your 10th House
• If Pisces is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 9th House

Example

Mercury in Scorpio and the 1st House

With Mercury in Scorpio and the First House, all that passion and intensity for research and investigation is turned on the self. Your mind is clearer and more astute now and you are driven to explore yourself and figure out who you are. You're more talkative and are likely to strike up conversations with others and you learn about yourself through your interactions with others and their perception of you.

In addition to the ingress of Mercury in Scorpio, you would also want to look at any aspects formed between Mercury and the planets in your Natal Chart.

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Scorpio will form a Conjunction

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Virgo or Capricorn will form a Sextile

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Leo or Aquarius will form a Square

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Cancer or Pisces will form a Trine

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Taurus will form an opposition

For example, in my own Natal Chart I have Jupiter in 2° Aquarius meaning that Mercury is making a Square to Neptune. When Mercury (I think) is Square (Hard Aspect) to Jupiter (I Expand) you may experience thinking and behavior that is considered over-the-top and you may have trouble reigning yourself in. Any decisions that need to be made should be well thought out before committing yourself to any options.

How will the ingress of Mercury into Scorpio manifest for you.

Venus in Capricorn (General)

When Venus is in Capricorn, people can be more cold, distant, and conservative. They are more ambitious, professional, responsible and formal. With Venus passing through the earthy- cardinal sector of the chart that rules over career, ambition, and profession you may find love and friendship activities melding with career ones. With the holidays coming up, this can translate to office thanksgiving parties or celebrations, important lunches or dinners with the boss and / or coworkers.  This is a time to relax a little but not too much. There is a need to walk the fine line between being friendly and social but still keep it professional.

Where Capricorn falls in your natal chart is the area of life where Venus in Capricorn will most be felt.

• If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th house.
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th house.
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th house.
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th house.
• If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th house.
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th house.
• If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th house
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd house.
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd house.
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st house.
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house.
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th house.

Example

Venus + Capricorn + 3rd House

When Venus is in Capricorn and the 3rd house of communication, siblings, and long journeys you could appear colder and more distant, or formal, in your communications with others. However, you are also able to turn on the charm in order to get your point across and get what you want from others. Venus being the planet of love in the 3rd house (ruled by Gemini, the Twins) can also point to the possibility of a love triangle forming. Since Capricorn rules one's career, you could find yourself torn between your career and your love, or you could be town between two people that you meet at work, while traveling, or through a sibling.
