Time to Move Forward -- Astrology Forecast for November 25-December 1, 2019

Greetings Friends!

The theme this week is all about forward movement for yourself, your ideas, your plans and your path. We have a new moon, a planet moves into a new sign, and another planet goes from retrograde to direct motion. The positive forward moving energies are there but we have to make the effort to take advantage of them.

On November 25, Venus leaves Sagittarius and moves into the sign of Capricorn. Venus is usually happy and carefree, spreading her love everywhere, but when she goes into the house of Capricorn, she will be influenced by its serious tone. Venus will be more reserved and grounded. The influence this will have on us is that we may get more serious about a romance, relationship, or money. The grounded effect may also help us have our social graces in place just in time for the holidays. We may be more compassionate, giving, and considerate of family members and others.

On Tuesday, Nov. 26, the New Moon in Sagittarius will allow us to have a fresh start with any projects that expand our horizons of experience, knowledge and information. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign that rules law, philosophy, travel, education, language, and anything that expands our horizons of understanding and knowledge. Maybe there will be an opportunity for you to teach or learn a new subject, information may also come in that you didn't have access to before and that changes the course of your project.

For Wednesday, Nov. 27, the planet Neptune, which has been in retrograde in the sign of Pisces, goes direct. While Neptune has been in retrograde, it has been an optimum time to dream big about your desires or envision your future. Once Neptune goes direct, that's the time to put those dreams into a plan and make them happen in reality.

You and your dreams will get further support on Thursday, Nov. 28 when Mercury trines Neptune and Venus trines Uranus. Those energies will help you organize and communicate your plans. The resources may show up suddenly that will allow you to fund or support making your dreams a reality.

The weekend of November 30/December 1 brings more energy that will help you go forward with Mercury in sextile to Saturn. This aspect has the influence of communication and organization of long-range plans for the future. Long-range investments. So if your dream includes a long-term goal or a major lifestyle change then this energy should help.

Have a great week, I wish you the best in moving your life and dreams forward!

Transformation Energies, Astrology of the Week, Nov 11-17, 2019

Hello Folks!
What a great week this is going to be astrologically. There will be some intense energies but they come with the opportunity for all of us to transform ourselves and the environment around us. As I look over the week, which I outlined below, I see a definite story being played from the inside to the outside. The Sun and Mercury (in retrograde) are still in Scorpio. Pluto and Saturn are in Capricorn. Neptune is in Pisces, and Venus is in Sagittarius. The Moon moves quickly through the zodiac, so I will indicate its location with each aspect below.

We start with something deep inside being revealed and illuminated into our consciousness on Monday, November 11, with the Sun conjunct with Mercury. A conjunction between two cosmic bodies results in the intensification of their energies. On top of that both are in Scorpio. So not only do they intensify their individual energies they boost it in a Scorpionic way. This could be an ah-ha moment.

So what deep thoughts, internal programming or values will come up from the unconscious into the light of awareness for you? What will you do with it when you become aware? Release it under the Full Moon perhaps?

Then we sail into a jam packed Tuesday, Nov. 12, with the Full Moon and two aspects (one negative and one positive) to that Moon. The full moon is at 19 degrees of Taurus. The full moon gives us an opportunity to bring something to completion or to release something from our lives. The issue here is that Taurus is a fixed sign and doesn't like to let go of anything. It is being pushed by the other aspects, especially the Sun and Mercury, as the Moon is in opposition to Mercury. This opposition aspect is really pushing us to look at what we value in the material world -- the luxuries that we enjoy. Are you enjoying the material world (too much money, food, sex, stuff) to excess? Does that support the spiritual side of you? The soul/spirit is asking us to have discipline and bring balance to our lives between the material and soul. Taurus may resist but we have other energetic support in the Full Moon Trine to Pluto aspect also happening on Tuesday. Pluto is the ruler of symbolic death and rebirth. This full moon and its aspects bring incredible opportunities for seismic transformation in ourselves and our lives.

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, we have the energies of three more interesting aspects.
First Mercury Trines Neptune, so that might trigger or fine tune your psychic abilities. It may also help your intuition when it comes to determining what motives people have around you. Listen carefully to your intuition. The second aspect of the day is that Mercury is in Sextile to Saturn -- look for the opportunity to manifest (make something happen) in your life. Lastly, the Sun is also having Sextile with Pluto -- you are feeling confident about transformation. Perhaps you have figured out your path and purpose.

Venus is in a Square, or challenging aspect, to Neptune on Thursday, Nov. 14. Perhaps a relationship in your life is not based in reality. Be careful of deception, of the self and by others. There could also be money issues here too.

There you have it. Opportunities to grow and transform as a person and community. My hope is that by knowing about the energies you can take advantage of them. You are not a victim, you can ride the energy waves.

Cheers & Blessing to you for a great week!

Power Struggles & Deep Conversations -- Astrology of November 4-10, 2019

Good Morning Folks!

My apologies for the short post, I had a very busy weekend. Overall advice is to lay low at the beginning of the week and come out later in the week to look for opportunities.

Let's dive right into the week with a major aspect on Monday and Tuesday (Nov 4-5), depending where you are in the world, with a Square aspect between Mars (in Libra) and Pluto (in Capricorn). Mars the planet of action and pushing forward challenges the planet of transformation, death & rebirth. Both of these planets ruled Scorpio, the zodiac sign we are currently transiting. Mars was the ruler of Scorpio until Pluto was discovered in the 1940s. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio.

So what we have is both of these ruling planets go head to head in a power struggle of dominance and control. Be alert and aware of your surroundings today. People may be impatient or experience road rage. Avoid conflict if you can. 

On Friday, Nov. 8, we have a menage a trois of planets in positive aspects to each other.  

Sun (in Scorpio) trine to Neptune (in Pisces)
Sun is in a sextile with Saturn (in Capricorn), 
Saturn is in sextile to Neptune.

On Saturday, Nov 9, Mercury (retrograde/in Scorpio) sextile to Pluto 9 (in Capricorn)

The trine aspect between the Sun and Neptune is harmonious, bringing your dreams to light or reality. The sextile aspects are opportunities that you need to look for and act on, so be open to any new opportunities that you find. Something spiritual may manifest and the Mercury/Pluto sextile may pave the way for a deep conversation with someone.

That's the week in short. Many blessings to you all,

PS: I am not booked for any events this November, which is fine. I'm am going to plan new services for the end of this year and into 2020! Stay tuned for that news!

Challenging Energies and the Astrology for the week of July 8, 2019

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Mind, Body, & Soul Expo in Lincoln. I had a blast at my table. Thanks to all that stopped by for a reading or just to pick up my card.
Contact me at jmbarnes31@gmail.com if you would like a tarot & oracle card reading.


Before we discuss the astrology of the coming week, let's check in how you feel after the new moon solar eclipse? Energized? Tired? Excited? Let me know in the comments. The energies of the eclipse last up to 6 months.

As we head into this week, Mercury just went retrograde at 4 degrees of Leo on July 7. I am already feeling its influence as I write this post. Mercury governs communication and the means of communication (technology).  When it goes retrograde, or moves backwards, communication slows down. Technology like phones, laptops, and other electronic devices can go haywire. It is not a good time to sign contracts either because details in contracts may be inaccurate. Read the fine print carefully if you have to sign a lease or contract. Mercury's retrograde lasts until July 31.

In addition to the retrograde, we have several other aspects this week that will produce challenging energies for us. Some are in the areas of communication, but also internal emotional aspects. Being informed and prepared for these energies may help you navigate or avoid the emotional triggers.

Monday, July 8, Mercury conjuncts (connects) with Mars and they each intensify the other's energy. Both planets are in Leo. Mars the fire planet in a fire sign. Mars likes action and moving things forward but he will be a bit frustrated with Mercury in retrograde. Mercury's element is air and governs thoughts, ideas, and expression of those thoughts. The positive aspect of this connection is that the mind may be active with new ideas or go into a creative or artistic phase.

On Tuesday, July 9, the Sun (in Cancer) opposes Saturn (in Capricorn). Saturn is the teacher or authority figure that wants to restrict our movement forward until we have thoroughly learned our lesson. The Sun (in Cancer) is warm vitality in the home and family sign of the Zodiac but this clash with Saturn is not comfortable. If you are drawn into an argument with another person, especially a person of authority, or a difficult situation arises at home or work, then your challenge is to see the argument from the other person's perspective. This person or situation may be mirroring an aspect of you that needs to be healed. Pay attention and don't get drawn into the drama.  This aspect and energy will last until July 15.

Thankfully at mid-week, we have a positive aspect on July 10, when the Sun trines Neptune. Look for opportunities to practice your intuitive skills, use your imagination, or work on your artistic potential, go for it!

Thursday, July 11 Mars (Leo) and Uranus (Taurus) are in a Square. When planets fall into a square aspect in the zodiac, it means that they are challenging each other and producing an obstacle in an area of your zodiac chart that needs to be addressed. Square's make this uncomfortable for us so that we take an action to change the situation. Mars the planet of bold action, assertiveness, power, sex, and Uranus is the planet that rules unexpected change and the inner power of our purpose in life. Both are fire planets and both are power planets. 

So when these two planets square off, there will be intense energies triggering feelings of freedom. Freedom will clash with obligation and may cause impatience,tension, and bring out  a combative nature in people. Something unexpected may happen under the influence of Uranus. Under this aspect it is good to stay grounded, breath and meditate. This aspect will have influence on a global level. Watch the news to see what happens.

On Sunday, July 14  Sun (in Cancer) now opposes Pluto (in Capricorn). Pluto rules transformation and this aspect signals a need to look at ourselves differently. How do others see me? Am I presenting myself in the best light? Am I letting my light shine? This opposition may make us review our own character, but it can also shine a light on selfishness and antisocial behavior.

This is a heavy week. I will repeat practice good self care by staying grounded, breath, and meditate. Be careful with your communication this week. Don't send the angry text message. Try to surround yourself with healing energy and send that to others.

Hang in there!
