This Taurus Full Moon gets us in touch with security, values, and keeping the status quo. Its a good time to take care of your earthly possessions, pray or meditate on the power of the Earth has it readies for the winter up ahead. A good day to clean up the fallen leaves. and to appreciate our many blessings.
In the Stars for November
I love the fall season, the weather is cooler and the natural landscape changes its palette of color and light. This starts its wintering process, as the natural cycle of the Sun and Earth turns the vegetation’s process inward to winter for another season. We see a variety of colors and some already have snow in the upper northern country as winter comes early this year.
The Sun in intense water sign Scorpio brings in the energies this month of an inward searching out for
the truth as Scorpio energy seeks out to gain transformation from deeper sources. The meaning of the scorpion is that it transforms from the depths and flies freely soaring like the eagle. Scorpio is a fixed sign meaning they don’t like change yet set in their ways change and transformation are part of the journey for Scorpio. Those intense desires must be transformed if they are to gain relief from their inner battle with their consciousness. Intense action, passionate drive, resolute effort, endurance, unflinching courage, unswerving purpose, and inscrutable attitudes are qualities basic to this sign. These folks have intense emotions which can fluctuate causing them to appear instable. They are self-contained, self-centered people who have vast amounts of energy and creativity. They are highly selective and loyal to their friends and partners and maybe jealous and possessive if they feel insecure. They achieve whatever they want to pursue, as they have personal magnetism and healing power within them. Happy Birthday, Scorpio! Uranus planet of change has been helping you get out of the rut and move towards a greater understanding of what needs to change. Saturn/Pluto has been providing an ounce of caution and stabilizing energy along the way.
Planetary Shifts for November
Mercury will retrograde in the water sign Scorpio, starting Nov. 1rst and ending Nov. 21rst, it will continue to lend us the intense energy of Scorpio for making those connections between things, fixing anything that needs a thorough going over the details, research and any creative work benefits during this time. This is not a good time to sign contracts as things may change after the retrograde or delays or things subject to miscommunications. For those doing the investigative work in congress, they may uncover all kinds of information to sort out during this time as Scorpio knows where all the bodies are hiding.
Venus moves out of intense and moody Scorpio forwards onto the fire sign Sagittarius lifting up our enthusiasm, courage, idealism, and faith in relationships. Mars moves through air sign Libra, the sign of its detriment, and it squares Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn causing frustrations and limitations which can later this month lead to a constructive resolution when Mars enters Scorpio and sextiles Saturn and Pluto.
For now, Mars in Libra focuses on balance and harmony helping us with our efforts in networking, and teamwork as to any contractual agreements with others. Yet what Mars couldn’t do while in Libra, it will as it moves through its own powerful water sign Scorpio midmonth. Also, add Mercury moving forwards this will increase the flow of energy much more constructively, we will feel more energy coming through the last two weeks of November during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
The Sun shifts into Sagittarius on Nov. 23rd this will lift up the energy and help us feel more festive no matter what is going on. Jupiter planet of growth and expansion continues its trek through the later degrees of its own fire sign Sagittarius. This helps all fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, those born in the last few degrees now to broaden and expand their awareness.
Saturn and Pluto continue to trek through serious Capricorn as we see the dismantling of the power structure and more people rising up for justice and fairness. The earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn benefit from this aspect as this aspect of Saturn and Pluto brings strength and perseverance through transformations of structures. The power paradigm changes however slowly.
Uranus continues to create waves of change for those clinging to the old material value it helps us to change and revolutionize the status quo. The earth sign Taurus and water sign Scorpio can really use this energy to shift the values. We have yet to see what has really changed since Uranus in retrograde since Aug. 12th and will move direct motion in January 2020. This is going to be a big month for change Jupiter will shift into Capricorn and trine Uranus all the while any decisions that come up then are likely to be karmic since Saturn and Pluto join in a tight conjunction in Capricorn affecting order, structure, and governments.
Neptune in its own water sign Pisces helps us grow compassion, intuition, and trust. This placement helps all the water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces sun signs.
The Lunar Cycle for November
New Moon happened Oct. 27th in the water sign Scorpio adding passion and drives to most of our activities. A good time to research and evaluate now as Mercury has gone retrograde also in the intense water sign Scorpio. This is a good time to pace ourselves and use caution where necessary as the details may evade us. Be flexible with your schedule and travel plans may change; patience is a must under the retrograde.
The First Quarter Moon occurs Nov. 4th in the air sign Aquarius we’ll have the Sun and Moon square creating the needed energy to pursue our plans, develop humanitarian ideals that help the collective. This is the time to see how your plans are growing.
The Full Moon lights up the sky Nov.12th in the fixed earth sign Taurus, possibly a pleasant bright evening. Taurus energy puts us in touch with comfort, security and pleasing loved ones. It’s a good time to evaluate your security, values, and relationships under this moon.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs Nov. 19th in the fire sign, Leo. A good time to take it easy this week as Mars will move into Scorpio its own sign this strengthen our energy and resolve. Plus Mercury goes direct this Wed. on Nov. 20th. The time to evaluate this lunar cycle is now with all the new energy coming in on the weekend as the Sun leaves Scorpio and enters into the enthusiastic fire sign Sagittarius on Nov. 22nd.
The New Moon occurs Nov. 26th in the fire sign Sagittarius. Neptune turns direct motion on the 27th this may be a creative force coming in as the Sun forms a sextile aspect to dreamy Neptune in December. Thanksgiving Day we have the Moon in the serious practical and ambitious earth sign Capricorn. Be good to everyone as we all see things from different perspectives and that ensures our collective growth.
Happy Holidays

In the Stars for October
The fall season brings a welcome relief from this hot summer, as the cooler mornings and fall colors all spread across the northern hemisphere. The Sun in Libra brings the forces of harmony and balance to our sense of awareness especially in relation to others, as Libra’s specialty ruled by Venus and Saturn is justice to negotiations, perhaps a time of weighing the balance of things. For those of you who are star watchers, the constellation Orion is visible in the night sky beaming new energies that augur a new beginning perhaps a major shift for us all.
Sun in Libra natives are of sound of mind and pleasant people to engage with. As friends, they are very service orientated and love to socialize with most people. They bring positive intelligence to most situations as some like to rule but in a gentle way of encouraging others, thus the expression “the iron hand in the velvet glove”. The glyph of Libra is symbolic of the setting Sun, expressing the balance between night and day, self and others, yin and yang. They like to please others so as not to have discord but will take their time with decisions. They see the value in each point of view then they make their decision. They enjoy diplomatic arguments and are often romantic partners. Happy Birthday, Libra! This year for those of you born around the middle of October will feel Saturn and Pluto’s reforming energies tugging at your consciousness. Change is good for those of you who have wanted to get out of the rut in recent years.
Planetary Energy for October
As the Sun, Venus, and Mars move through Libra we will continue to experience the motivation to act with balance and harmony. Perhaps for some more attuned to the forces of justice will see this more clearly than others as the world drama turns and turns.
Mid-month we have Mercury planet of communications and negotiations aligns with Venus who rules relationships and values will transit through mysterious Scorpio, this will shift the energy from outgoing to a more internal intuitive focus, especially for Scorpio Sun signs, this may involve most in an introspective search for truth and justice this month.
Jupiter planet of optimism and expansion, in its own fire sign Sagittarius continues its forward trek bringing in new ideas and faith for our growth and knowledge. It forms a good trine aspect to the fire Sun signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius who benefit this year with perhaps more confidence to explore their mind, ideas, and travel for new opportunities.
Saturn planet of karma, restrictions, and limitations continues its trek through the serious earth sign Capricorn bringing those needed changes to systems of order, like governments, and businesses which will get a boost if you are intent on re-organizing your affairs. The forces of change, disruptions and transformation are powerful this month as Pluto is moving through the last degrees of Capricorn and is turning direct motion on Oct. 3rd. Plus Saturn/Pluto are opposed by the transiting North Node in the water sign Cancer. Perhaps for the U.S.A. this aspect is causing confusion around the issues affecting homeland security and foreign powers and investors. Safety may be an issue for some as security systems are not all that clear. The North Node sets up dubious interactions and negotiations with karmic ramifications with our alliances. A powerful way to start the month with most planets moving in Libra and forming a square pattern to the planets Saturn and Pluto big game changers in Capricorn. So heads up to all cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn this is a wake -up call this first week of October. Some may just experience this as a new beginning in consciousness this month.
Uranus, the planet of change and sudden disruptive energies continues its trek retrograde in the practical materialistic earth sign Taurus. This placement may affect those with planets in Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius perhaps more so coming in January 2020 when Uranus turns direct motion and things come up to the surface.
Neptune in the water sign Pisces continues to incline us towards the mystical, ineffable more transient energies that surround us some refer to dimensions. It’s a good placement to help one develop their intuition, psychic and imagination. It may help the water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces to delve into the more inspirational side of life.
The Lunar Cycle for October
The first week charges in with the New Moon energy which started Sept. 28th in the air sign Libra, justice and balance is the keyword for this month. We want to move forward with the feeling of harmony, socializing in positive ways with our friends and business connections, a good time to network. Pluto goes direct Oct. 3rd and Mercury shifts into the mysterious intense sign Scorpio. This is a good time for research and work that demands concentration.
The First Quarter Moon occurs Oct. 5th in the ambitious earth sign Capricorn. Mars also moves into Libra shifting the energy from the focus on details( Virgo) towards the more congenial and teamwork (Libra) orientated engagements. Moon in Capricorn and Mars in Libra combine to create action-orientated decisions around work strategies.
The Full Moon in Aries on Oct.13th sets up the tension in the air as it squares Saturn in Capricorn and Pluto this may be a day for revelations and tough decisions. Full moon energy is great for balancing the pros and cons of things as the Sun in Libra its opposite demands harmony and balance.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs Oct. 21rst in the water sign Cancer bringing in a moody emotional time to reassess the month’s projects and activities and decide which you may want to keep. The transiting Sun enters into the mysterious and intense water sign Scorpio shifting the energy from an external to a more internal focus. The Orionids meteor showers are visible in the night sky displaying a mysterious and wondrous time in the heavens.
The New Moon occurs Oct. 27th in the mysterious water sign Scorpio a time for new intense awareness, starting new projects or making changes as the Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus this weekend. Happy Halloween the fall season starts the holidays on Oct. 31rst. The Moon will be void of course all day, not a good day for decisions and Mercury will turn retrograde in Scorpio until November 20th.
So do make your decisions before the 25th of Oct. or wait for new developments after Nov. 20th.
And that’s my report for this month if you would like a reading email me yahairavolpe@gmail.com
Happy Fall Season
Blessings Yahaira
Big shifts occur this week as Saturn turned direct motion yesterday in the earth sign Capricorn and will start conjuncting Pluto also in Capricorn. This is an important time to make decisions and commit to a plan which you will follow for the next 6 months. Saturn rules over Capricorn and this transit affects all earth signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricron in a positive way by strengthening your resolve and adding patience and perserverence to the mix.
The end of the summer season is upon us once again within the cycle of the zodiac, with the Sun transiting through the practical earth sign Virgo. This sign is symbolized by the virgin holding a hyacinth in one hand and a stalk of grain in the other. The flower for the purity of mind and the grain represents the potential for fertility. This month will be a time to be busy, working out the details of projects and being of service. Cleaning up the gardens as we ready for the harvest time on September 23, the Fall Equinox.
Virgo Sun sign natives are practical efficient and process orientated. They may lose themselves in the details of things as they do get very involved with their projects. They have an eye for detail and at times vigorous critics. Virgos are modest gentle and somewhat reticent individuals yet always wanting to be of service and help their friends and colleagues. Some more often worry too much, about everything diet, health and hygiene are important to them. The powers of discrimination are almost a talent of Virgo and they can discover what most people miss in the details. They are more often intellectuals wanting to share ideas with most whom they regard in high moral esteem. There is something about the purity and wit of their minds that makes them irresistible to engage ideas with. Happy Birthday, Virgo. This month is an important time with the Jupiter/Neptune square and Saturn Pluto trine affecting most Virgos born around Sept. 7-14th. Be aware of delusional thinking; get rich quick schemes that this aspect can incline one to believe blindly. However, the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in ambitious earth sign Capricorn can auger great changes but with caution and discipline vs destroying and letting go of things. For those who are stuck in a rut, this energy can certainly help to dispel the myths and clear the way for practical action.
The Planetary Energy Shifts for September
All of the planets Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are transiting through Virgo for the first two weeks of September that is a strong focus of energy, called a T-square involving a square by Jupiter and an opposition by Neptune. This can be felt like busy energy doing things yet not totally clear on where things are headed. Remember Virgo likes to keep busy analyzing and categorizing the details but may not quite see the big picture as Jupiter and Neptune can cause a blurring effect this month. These aspects affect mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
However, Saturn/Pluto in the earth sign Capricorn will continue to lend a cautionary hand to Virgo’s impulsive energy to keep doing things in a practical and efficient way.
The earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are affected most strongly by Saturn/Pluto affecting them to pursue the course of change and transformation and restructuring their lives.
Uranus continues its trek through the fixed earth sign Taurus. This planet of revolution and dramatic change is affecting the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius mostly to wake up and shift their egoistic perspectives. On a bigger stage, Uranus will bring changes to global economies in the next several years particularly the value of money and the cryptocurrencies are more evident now. But Uranus likes dramatic change so beware of the innovative until it becomes accepted by all the powers that be.
The water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are more apt to find enlightenment or dissolution as Neptune transiting through Pisces the sign it rules increases imagination, creativity, psychic perception, dreams and more, be aware that not all is as it appears to be with Neptune. Yet surrender is a good way to release energy that is no longer useful and thereby gain a more mystical perception.
The energy shifts mid-month as the planets move through the air sign Libra and we observe the Fall Equinox a turning of the forces as the Sun moves towards the southern hemisphere. Saturn in Capricorn turns direct motion on Sept. 18th this shift for Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn sun signs will set up what structure, discipline or tasks you will follow for the next 6 months. /Pluto so we can expect more energy of action, communications and swift decision making. Libra energy likes to weigh things and negotiate what is fair to all, perhaps better communication information and negotiations late this month.
The Lunar Cycles- when to grow your projects and plans this month.
New Moon Aug. 30th starts the lunar cycle in the practical earth sign, Virgo. The weekend is better as the new energy focuses through Libra which likes to be social and pleasant to all. This is the time to start projects and launch them.
The First Quarter Moon on Sept. 5th focuses the energy through Sagittarius bringing in a charge to follow up on goals or setting them forward. Try to keep a focus on which ones as Sagittarius energy can scatter on too much all at once.
The Full Moon, Harvest Moon on September 13th will be high energy for Pisces/Virgo. Lending illumination to those who are focused on being faithful, hopeful and dedicated to service for the good of all are characteristics highlighted by this Full Moon. For those who are health conscious, this is a good time to fast and cleanse. The Full Moon energy can reveal a great many things through the agency of dreams, psychic impressions, and imagination. Tread cautiously this weekend as all may not be what it appears to be.
The Last Quarter Moon arrives September 21rst in the witty air sign Gemini. This energy steps up the mental forces for networking, making decisions and finishing up projects.
The New Moon cycle starts September 28th, in the harmonizing air sign Libra a time to apply one’s ideas for better relationships with close ones and associates. Libra loves teamwork.
The energy shifts once again the end of the summer season commences the mornings are feeling cooler as the transiting Sun moves through the meticulous earth sign Virgo. This earth sign is ruled by Mercury and it lends that extra sensitivity to detail, process, and communications. Virgo is good for getting lots of practical tasks done with meticulous attention. This year all the planets are forming benefical aspects to your Sun Virgo for a quickening of change by Uranus, and a dynamic square by Jupiter planet of growth and expansion. You can grow rapidly and wisely this year, Happy Birthday!
This full moon in Aquarius is really bright, perhaps keeping some of us up late at night to early morning. The Full Moon is the zenith of the energy for the month, we get to see all the growth of our activities, plans, goals and projects. The Moon in the air sign Aquarius opposite the Sun in in the fire sign Leo engages our attention towards the polarity between the awareness of the individual and the collective. How we fit into the grand scheme of things, we may see ourselves involed in more humanitarian pursuits, having and objective perspective vs a subjective one. This outgoing self-expressive energy encourages group work, inventive intellectual and friendly discussions. For those who are creative this is a great time to invent things, some revolutionary or erratic ideas come to the forefront during this Full Moon.
In the Stars for August
The transiting Sun is in the fire sign Leo, bringing in the energy for enthusiasm, joy, and creative expression. Leadership and the dramatic are some of the characteristics of this fixed sign.
Leo natives are proud, determined dignified, graceful and generous. They like to take center stage and lead others through their power-driven yet warmhearted encouragement they make good leaders who tend to be creative inspiring others and fair. As organizers, they can marshal others towards their vision and goals and tend to be successful. Yet they can have a negative side of being conceited, snobbish, intolerant, patronizing, dogmatic and pompous as they carry an air of divine nobility or privilege. They may not like change as their nature is fixed but they can as they like to negotiate to remain popular. As Jupiter goes direct this month Leo will feel a charge of creative energy, hopefulness, and expansive energies to your vital force. Other fire signs also benefit this month, i.e., Aries and Sagittarius. Life looks more inspiring this month. Happy Birthday, Leo!
Major Planetary Shifts for August
We will have 3 major planetary shifts week of Aug. 12th. First Mercury the planet that represents communication in the water sign Cancer goes direct motion Aug. 1rst. This will help to sort things out for the first week still be aware that it takes a few days to pick up speed again. Some may be playing catch up with any decisions or changes that took place in the last 4 weeks. Then Mercury will shift into the fire sign Leo Aug. 12 and Jupiter planet of expansion and growth also goes direct motion in its own sign Sagittarius. An increase in creativity, opinions and philosophical debates will be accentuated while these two planets move through these fire signs. Some may find others inflexible in their thinking during this transit of Mercury through Leo a sign of its fall, so arrogance on the rise. And Uranus planet of radical changes and awakenings in the fixed earth sign Taurus goes retrograde also on Aug. 12thth. Perhaps increasing our focus on practical uses of resources any changes are designed to produce concrete results.
Venus and Mars in Leo and Jupiter in Sagittarius will form a beneficial trine aspect around Aug. 12th this will help with values, philosophy and some may be dramatic about sharing those values however since Mars makes war and Venus love and negotiations, perhaps this may show up as friction, drive around autocratic pursuits of power. Any conflicts between parties that are ongoing could be charged up again as some may pursue their ideals at any cost. The fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius benefit the most.
Saturn (karma) and Pluto (death and regeneration) continue to influence ambitions around reforms organizations and governments great changes to these systems will be accomplished during the next few years. As we are globally witnessing the challenges facing the status quo, perhaps the constructive results of this time will be in a few more years.
Neptune moving through its own sign Pisces from 2012-2024) influences our imagination, dreams, illusions, psychic awareness, and spiritual enlightenment. However, the bubble can burst for those unable to perceive the illusions and veils prevalent during this time. Neptune in Pisces can increase our capacity for acceptance and compassion. During the middle part of the 19th century, the growth of transcendentalism took place with many poets and artist capturing that inspiration and giving it form. Now, rather than a time of dissolution and hopelessness, we can gain faith in ourselves, insights and enlightenment. The water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces receive the most energy of this transit. This can be an increase in the awareness of all who are intuitively receptive to Neptune.
The Lunar Cycles for August
The Lunar cycles are a time with to start projects and plans and grow and develop them.
The New Moon occurs July 31rst in the fires sign, Leo. This is the start of the cycle and the positive initiation energy comes in charging up our consciousness to start to plan ahead also as Mercury goes direct
The First Quarter Moon in the intense water sign Scorpio can lend constructive and determined energy to any project. Scorpio being more of an internal force causes us to delve within for our more instinctual motivations. A good time for self-analysis as our collective consciousness tends to be more internally focused during this time.
The Full Moon occurs Aug. 15th in the air sign Aquarius, the height of this month energy especially with Jupiter going direct. We may feel inclined towards humanitarian efforts, philosophies, and aid towards others. Our consciousness increases we may feel more energy and this is a good time for group work, celebrations as we reach the zenith of this month’s energy. This should be a productive time.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs August 23rd in the air sign Gemini which squares the transiting Sun entering the analytical earth sign Virgo as we start to finish the summer season. This phase starts the decrease of the energy so it’s good for finishing up projects and for some re-working their ideas and plans under the witty Gemini moon. The Sun in Virgo begins the ending of the summer months and some may find it’s a good time to clean their gardens and evaluate their cornucopia for the fall harvest.
Astrology shows us how to be aware of the energy available and make our choices based on that knowledge as cycles do repeat themselves.
Peace and Blessings
