weekly horoscopes for 11/16-11/22

this week kicks off with a new moon in scorpio occurring monday morning (11:14am PST) starting us off on a new foot when it comes to transformation, death and rebirth, unearthing Truth and aligning with Soul. on the heels of the first saturn/pluto square that occurred on sunday, this week is about realistically seeing where your lessons are and learning/integrating them with passion and tenacity. when the Universe sees you taking on your stuff then you get given more responsibility- and more freedom. but it is a choice. both mercury and venus are quite active this week as the mind and heart find their way to alignment on the inner levels. uranus and juno are active as well, unfolding the new paradigm of partnership that involves coming completely from the heart- with no need to hold back- while still standing in our own individuality rather than losing ourself in another. relationships this week- with others and with the Divine Feminine within- are jam packed with lessons that can move you forward if taken on with integrity and purpose! it's not as jam packed this week aspect-wise, which is nice as many are still reeling from what saturn/pluto unearthed on sunday. there are three of these aspects moving us through july of 2010 and the first one is the wake up call. where are you being woken up? was it painful? or did you receive and surrender? how you assimilate what is coming into your life right now decides how you will experience the next 9 months. if something feels as though it is happening to poor little you, take a step back and see how your actions may have created it, or how your Soul may have set it up this way for a reason. taking responsibility is key! saturday is a big day relationship wise (with others and with our inner feminine)- stay open to what comes in. the week ends with no major aspects on sunday. truly it is a day of rest. relax and enjoy. and get prepared for more to come ;)
