Motivation Mars, the planet of action, departs the sign of business-minded Capricorn on the 8th, the day of the USA election, and enters the more creative and original sign of Aquarius; promising action for a new beginning that is different and inventive. And when Venus enters Capricorn on the 11th, it’s time to get down to business, especially with business relationships and money matters.
Mercury brings optimism on the 12th, but perhaps also exaggeration as he enters Sagittarius. The full Moon, another Super Moon, in Taurus on the 14th is intense and unyielding as the Sun and Moon are both in fixed signs. Neptune comes out of retrograde on the 19th, and things start to look a lot brighter. The Sun will enter Sagittarius on the 21st further lifting our spirits.
Venus and powerful Pluto connect on 25th, intensifying love and money matters – a transformation of some kind is possible now. And on the 29th, the new Moon in Sagittarius is positive and optimistic, but as it interacts with Neptune, be careful of what you say to whom. And to commence December, Mars and Jupiter provide the inspiration and motivation to believe in your dreams and make them a reality!
