Frenetic Friday: Nov 17 Jupiter into Sag, Mercury Direct & Mars/Neptune clash


November 17 is a busy day.

Mercury finally goes Direct after being Retrograde for three weeks. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. Dec 4 marks the true end of the 'shadow period' where mercury energy is still unstable (communication, travel, mail, technology etc).
But Nov 17, things at least begin to make a little more sense. Things that were decided for sure in the past few weeks now have a way of changing AGAIN, as people's minds flip or ideas are thrown out, rejected by their lack of forethought or people have too much on their plates.

At the end there were many examples of Mercury Retrograde at play - it fell in my First House (since I have Scorpio Rising and it was in Scorpio of course) so I got to see it all play out before my eyes:

My partner took two buses on a trip because the tire blew in the first one and then the second one broke down.
My radio segment was forgotten about, and then the next week was missed again due to technical issues in the studio.
My column was posted last two weeks running online due to the company email system being down or moving slow.
I sat on my bank ATM card which snapped it.
I tried about 10 times to change an England bank account to reflect my new US address, (after numerous calls and emails it's finally happening, just in time as I need a new card issued)
I asked the Post Office to re-deliver a package but so far (nearly a week later) they seem to be avoiding doing so.
Schedules have been changed for most people I know.
My keys went AWOL for a couple of days.
ON a positive note, I did receive boxes of old books I left with a friend here in LA so I can go back and re-read a lot of ones I forgot about. Best news all week! And of course a reunion with my old friend.

Re-Re-Re = how many times have you had to go back and do over of late?

Give it til Dec 4 for major decisions and taking on new projects, if possible.

Jupiter, planet of expansion, growth, travel, knowledge and optimism enters Sagittarius, it's own sign, which intensifies the vibe. A beautiful alignment (and Sagittarians will begin to perk up too, finally). Suddenly we feel the urge for more, to travel, to learn more, to experience more of what life has to offer. So the skies will be buzzing with more peeps again, as will libraries, colleges and night classes. We want to LEARN and EXPERIENCE and we won't tolerate being cooped up any longer. We need to be free to explore - as we tap into the Gypsy energy inherent in this alignment.


Optimism and Hope return after such a dark and grim Scorpio period. Things can get better, they DO get better and oh boy, they are about to get better. The silver lining! So hang in there, there is always the same amount of light in proportion to the shadows cast, remember that, and we'll all have reason to see that things really do just 'work out'.

And finally...

Mars squares Neptune - an angle of tension between Warrior Energy and Nebulous Dreamtime. Yes we'll be fighting in our sleep, but we'll also not be able to see our waking enemies so well. The lines of battle blur - what was the original point of your anger? Forget it, forgive it and move on.
It's not the best time for concentrated focus - people have accidents around water (drowning, slipping, flooding, over-inbibing and also drugs (Overdoses, wrong doses etc). If you can, get to some water, listen to music, walk instead of driving, zone out and allow for some chill out time. Dream deeply, and switch off your brain.

Mars is energy and Neptune asks us to seek inspiration - do something that reminds you of the magic in life. Go see a movie, just don't expect to understand its plot. Seek fantasy, just don't get so lost you forget you have bills to pay. Plan, but then if you suddenly don't feel it, don't give yourself or anyone else a hard time. Drift, go with the flow, just have an anchor so you don't end up out to lunch, out to sea!

Navigate the Nebulous -
Celebrate the Spiritual!

Love,
Neil
