MOON WATCH

MOON VOID OF COURSE
The moon makes one complete revolution around the zodiacal wheel each month, spending a little more than 24 hours in each of the 12 signs. When the moon is about to complete its visit through one sign and does not make any planetary connections (called aspects) before it moves on to the next sign, it is considered “void of course.” The moon’s influence or biorhythm is weak during these few hours, which can cause diminished success or satisfaction. If optimum results are your aim, wait until the moon fuels up in a new sign before you do it, buy it, or say it. Timing is everything!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) You could be in for a surprise around Nov. 4 and Nov. 11–13. Ideals, plans, or hopes may be dashed, but after the dust settles you could find a better replacement or another avenue to explore. Redirection could be a blessing in disguise. Opportunity dates: Nov. 1, 10, 15, 16, 29, 30.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Saturn and Uranus bring a significant cut-off point, turnaround, or release as of Nov. 4. Relief, freedom, and new opportunities can appear. Nov. 10, 15, 16 could bring good news or a special event to attend. Pluto’s advance into Capricorn brings new goals into view and helps you redesign your lifestyle.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Get ambitious and dive in deep. The month ahead can be exceptionally productive re: finance, romance, or creative endeavour; work it to the max. Use the first half to strategize, investigate, observe, negotiate. Much can come to fruition if you have planted well; Nov. 21 onward can bring “blast-off” time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your world is transforming before you now, and you will be forced to reconcile with it. A significant relationship, financial or personal, could be a source of pain or gain; Nov. 11–13 brings a significant redirection or threshold crossing. Better prospects/higher ground appear as the month completes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Information and realizations come, opening it up for you in surprising ways, especially through mid-month. Stay on top of what you need to; don’t waste a moment or an opportunity—time is of the essence. Work toward improvement/betterment goals and see the results, especially toward month’s end.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Play the role of instigator or rabble-rouser; push the envelope, create your own opportunities, extricate yourself. Mars in Scorpio empowers you with charisma, shrewdness, and advantage through mid month. While it may be necessary to give up to gain, November’s stars can be especially lucrative, transformative, or empowering.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A critical stopgap month lies ahead, and there’s plenty at stake re: finances, family, or career security. The Full Moon week can be particularly challenging, but a successful turnaround or comeback is your net gain. Stay focused, aim high, plow through, and don’t back down. Mars in Sagittarius brings increase across the board.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Scorpio stars help you stay sharp and on your toes. Seize your advantages/moments as they show up. Watch for important news or additional information to come your way, especially through the Full Moon week. Don’t hesitate to revise plans, strategies, goals, or ambitions. Scout for more/better Nov. 18 onward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Scorpio stars find you deeply entrenched—and perhaps enmeshed too. Nov. 4–13 removes the guesswork and opens your eyes. Re: work, health regimes, and financial and emotional matters, undertake the necessary upgrades sooner rather than later. Nov. 16–30, it’s time to promote, advertise, circulate, socialize, and play more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your aim, but don’t force what isn’t coming naturally. Progressively, the missing blanks will fill in, especially Nov. 4, 6–8, 11–13. The Full Moon could bring a stroke of genius or a lucky strike. Pluto’s advance into Capricorn can help you solidify your ambitions or next course of action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Scorpio stars keep it brewing and stewing; keep a close watch on health and work, plan your next power play or escape, give up a struggle. Mars in Sagittarius invigorates you/gets the show on the road. Nov. 10, 15, 16, 23–26, 29–30 are synchronistic, happening days—use them well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Jupiter and Saturn continue to place you at a stellar advantage throughout the month. Seize opportunity, jump on a vacancy—it suits you well. Don’t hesitate to take on a more significant community or group role. With you in charge, things will get done. Pluto’s advance into Capricorn will transform you—entirely.
