Good Morning, Sunshine! 😎
Good Morning, Sunshine!
Do you feel it? Hooray! The Sun moves into happy, joyous Sagittarius this morning at 6.02am PT. Most of us will awaken under a fire Sun.
There's nothing like a bright and warm fire to dry us out after Scorpio's deep emotionalism. (So long Scorpion! Sorry not sorry!) 🦞
This weekend, I sat with my spiritual teacher and she gave the most beautiful description of the holiday season. It really perked me up because she was unwittingly describing the Sagittarius archetype. (It was another moment where you could plainly see how the astrology is reflected back in our lives.) ✨
She talked about how this season has a luminous quality to it that makes it easier for us to access Spirit.
Seriously though: Can't you feel it in your body every year?
No matter where you fall on the spectrum of love or loathing of the holiday season, and regardless of current world events, the prevailing undercurrent of energy is one of optimism — that most quintessential of Sagittarian qualities.
While the sign of The Archer is known for its fun-loving and even indulgent behaviors and tastes, it's also the sign of Truth.
In its highest expression, we see the Guru who has explored the inner depths (Scorpio) to find the Light of Truth within (Sag). 💎
That's why the passion for Truth burns brightly during Sagittarius Season. We can find ourselves exploring the divide between what's a belief versus what's fundamentally True.
(Illustrated in the simple paradox of the holidays being both a capitalist sham and an important time to express heartfelt gratitude to those nearest and dearest.)
So yes, Sagittarius energy has a quality of luminescence that facilitates our relationship to Divine and the ultimate Truth of our reality. ♐

Um .... there are just way too many hilarious truth-inspired GIFs to pick just two. Sag Says: Indulge in a little extra humor today. Laughing is good medicine.
Early in The Archer's Season, we get a Full Moon on Monday morning at 1:16am PT in friendly Gemini. ♊
🔔 REMINDER! Kathy and I will be co-hosting our FINAL Music From The Cosmos of 2023 under this lunation at 6pm on Monday, November 27.
I'm sure you'll need to decompress after the Thanksgiving frenzy and prepare your nervous system for the Christmas chaos, so don't miss this final sound bath! 🤨 🎵

And now, some bright and shiny Full Moon inquiries:
🌕♊ How and where do you feel and express your emotions — the mind or the body?
Gemini is an air sign that is easily lost in the mind. The Moon is a water "planet" that represents our emotional nature. 🌊
Soooo many people express their emotion through the mind rather than by feeling and integrating the emotion in the body, where the emotion originates. Odds are, you're doing both and in different situations. 💭
>> When and why do you allow yourself to feel emotion versus trying to explain it intellectually? Are you even aware of the difference?
🌕♊ What's your relationship to impulsivity and anger in emotional situations?
With Mars all up in this lunation, we're prone to be express ourselves impulsively or aggressively.
When you're emotional about something, does that emotion take over? Do you act before you think? Maybe you immediately defend yourself rather than seeking to understand the other? Do you easily point the finger of blame? Do you take striking action that doesn't really bring benefit?
>> I invite you to contemplate how you can harness Mars in a healthy way rather than letting Mars use you. For example: Observing when the way is clear to take action; advocating for the underdog; channeling your difficult emotions through physical exertion.
🌕♊ Any situation you want to wrap-up?
Both the Sun and Moon were making challenging aspects over to Saturn as we head into the Full Moon.
Saturn reflects back our relationship with time; our ability to take responsibility and be in integrity with the events of our life and where we feel a loss of control. 🪐
If you've been at an impasse with a certain situation (internally or externally), then try shifting your perspective or accepting responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It may just bring the completion you've been looking for — or at least, get you one step closer to it. 💡
>> Saturn demands you face the Truth before moving forward.

⚡ THE ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
Sooo many people responded affirmatively to my email last week asking about the forecast. The prevailing sentiment was an emphatic "YES! Keep writing it!" 💯
Thank you so much if you were one of those who responded. It was heartwarming and helpful to receive so many affirmative responses.
🔥🌞 Mars on the Sun, baby, ya!
Mars has been traveling closely with the Sun for the last week and will continue to do so for about two more weeks. This Friday, he moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius in the early morning hours. 🌞
Although Mars loves to be in Scorpio, we'll definitely feel a difference with both the Sun and Mars in fiery Sag — more playful, less vindictive, lol.
That's because fire is the element of action. Mars in a fire sign will promote a sense of vitality and enhance motivation, especially for personal projects. It can also increase your sex drive — if it hasn't already!
>> That said, he will also be opposing the Full Moon on Monday. Look out for volatile emotions and find ways to transmute this energy via physical exertion. ⚠
📧♐ Mercury is half-way through his three-week orbit in Sagittarius.
Mercury reflects back to us the nature of our thoughts and how we communicate as a result of our thinking. (Mercury also rules the sign of Gemini.)
When he's in Sagittarius, we're often confronted with ways in which we think or speak that may not be exactly Truthful. 💬
It's an excellent time to examine whether you're truly in integrity with your thoughts and words. White lies are still LIES. How do you fudge the truth — either to yourself or others? 😇😈
Because Mercury is making a harmonious aspect to Venus in Libra, you may have an easier to time being honest with yourself about relationships, as well as communicating truthfully with others.
⚠ On the other hand, Mercury is making a difficult aspect over to nebulous Neptune, Saturday thru Monday.
>> Watch out for confusion and falsehoods! This weekend, you should avoid making big decisions, signing contracts or otherwise committing yourself. If you must, review everything in detail first.
The idea of Truth is a nuanced one that has taken a focal point in everyone's lives the last few years.
Sagittarius reminds us that there are personal Truths as well as universal and spiritual Truths. 🕊
When you begin to doubt what is True based on external situations (Mercury-Neptune), it's the perfect time to go within and meditate on your personal Truth: Are you aligned with it? Do you embody it in your daily life?
Now, during The Archer's Season, we have greater access to Spirit and the luminosity that brings us closer to Divine. Allow it to be your guiding star.
Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a festive day with loved ones. You are appreciated. 🍂
