Robin's Zodiac Zone November 11th-17th, 2018: Mercury Retrograde, Venus Direct

Pisces is a healing, tender Moon sign and that is the aim of this session. With Addie Powers Johnson offering reiki and you choose the aromatherapy blend for you. I'll guide your yoga postures, quiet and supported for rest. www.scarboroughmaineyoga.com
This is likely to be full by early in the week. Advance signs ups only. Registration closes Friday morning if we're not sold out.

Sunday: Capricorn Moon meets Saturn, and the Sun aligns with Pluto in Capricorn. All in all this is a serious, intentional, perhaps productive or driven influence. Face a fear and move forward. Today's color is Black.

Monday: Capricorn Moon meets Pluto for a slow unfolding or revisit to yesterday's vibes. The Moon is in harmony with the Sun in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. Capricorn Moon is not the one most attuned to deep emotions, and in fact may easily detach and focus on tasks and organization, yet feelings will be impossible to ignore today. Some may include romantic love and sentimentality. Today's color is Blue.

Tuesday: Capricorn Moon void just for half an hour before moving to Aquarius at 10:45 am EST. Venus and Uranus square the Moon today and interpersonal conflict is one effect. Can you work through it fairly without drama? Aquarius Moon aligns with Jupiter newly in Sagittarius at 1:05 pm EST for broad perspective and an adventurous or inventive inspiration to follow. Today's color is Turquoise.

Wednesday: Aquarius Moon aligns with Mercury soon to be retrograde. Note the importance of communications, messages, meetings, and group dynamics. What's going on now may be revisited a few times before the end of the year. This is meant to be a productive time in the lunar cycle. Yet we are also on the brink of Mercury retrograde. Everything is an experiment. That sort of approach may be most suitable for the next month. Today's color is Silver.

Thursday: The Moon is halfway to Full (November 23rd, next Friday). By the way that Gemini Full Moon has some very challenging aspects, and Mercury will be retrograde. An intention to keep things simple and calm around the Thanksgiving holiday could put you in a better frame of mind. Restore and replenish in these days ahead and do as much as you can in advance if you're hosting dinner or an event. Today Mars  moves to Pisces at 5:21 pm EST. It's a passive sign for the warrior planet. Mars is out of element completely. Perhaps channel fire energy into creation, writing and actively processing emotions so you don't feel bottled up and eventually burst or crash. Mars is in Pisces until December 31st after a very long tour of Aquarius. Mars aligns with Uranus before leaving Aquarius. This is active and unsettling, rebellious and out of the ordinary. Could be exciting, could shift something way out of the expected range. Be very cautious around explosive people and situations. The Moon has a mix of aspects. Moon shift to Pisces at 11:41 pm EST after just 43 minutes void of course. This part of the week is highlighted by more changes tomorrow. Today's color is Light Blue.

Friday: Pisces Moon meets Mars at 12:02 am EST. Notice how you feel late night or early morning. Does a feeling spontaneously come up for acknowledgment or care? Venus direct at 5:51 am and Mercury retro begins 8:33 pm EST. Many shifts late this week stir up feelings, situations, relationships, and plans. Today's color is Green.

Saturday: Pisces Moon meets Neptune, aligns well with Pluto and is square to Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius. The square may feel like something or someone holding you from a change you want to make or something you'd like to do now or soon. Mercury retro is a good reason to pause though. Is it true that there's no rush? That the opportunity will still be there in a few weeks? Slowing ourselves down is a good plan during this retrograde. Plans may change for this particular day or weekend. It's not only best but most likely necessary to be flexible and go with the flow. Today's color is Lavender.

Weekly December 8th to 14th, 2014

Monday: Sun conjunct Mercury, Cancer Moon

A mix of energies and elements leads one way or the other. Cancer Moon squares Uranus in Aries and opposes Pluto every month and it's proven to be challenging. Those who throw you off balance and unpredictable situations can flare up. This may be a repetitive cycle you're used to though no one probably welcomes revisiting it. Family matters are often part of this with Cancer Moon, though a Gemini or Sagittarius can find business or legal matters more challenging. The bright side is Mercury and the Sun meet in Sagittarius. Announcements and declarations, statements with motivation behind them, come now. Scorpio and Pisces have news to receive or share regarding work and career this week. Leo finds this very lucky and can hope for the best news possible. Friendship and fun are forecast for Leo and Aquarius among others. Try to find that bright side even if annoying grievances plague you yet again. Today's color is yellow.

Tuesday: Cancer to Leo Moon

Cancer Moon trine Saturn in Scorpio means home, family and health in the forefront. Put some effort and attention on taking care of things, with sensitivity and a smile. Take an idea and form a step by step plan to carry it out. It's a day for conservative business and judicious spending only. A void of course Moon takes over from 7:14 pm to 10:14 pm ET-adjust for your time zone.  This does not favor best judgement in decision making and spending. However, if you get so caught up in overthinking that you have trouble with decisions, this may free you to take some sort of action. Keep things simple and adjustable. At 10:14 the Moon moves to Leo for late night lions who may enjoy a great time with friends.  Today's color is purple. 

Wednesday: Venus in Capricorn

Venus moves to Capricorn and Mercury will join that party next Tuesday. Capricorn energy is traditional and structured and any lack of those elements will become obvious now. The urge to nest, repair things, settle in, and manage things better with business and with the significant other and at home are all Capricorn effects this season. Cancer longs to cohabitate and might make a relationship commitment now. Venus in your sign, Capricorn, makes you one of the zodiac's darlings. You're favored to attract friends, opportunities, and to treat yourself well. (ps Capricorn, December has much more in store to support and perk up your spirits!) Virgo, Venus in Capricorn brightens your love and social life. Aries, this is the time to seek a promotion, upgrade or send out resumes.  Leo Moon is all stirred up today with Mars across the zodiac increasing the chance we'll strongly disagree or make a huge effort to see a different point of view. This relates very much to collaborating and how much effort it takes. Uranus adds inventiveness and reason to change things up, maybe at the last possible moment.  Today's color is pink.

Thursday: Leo Moon conjunct Jupiter

This is a peak day for things suddenly falling together. Leo Moon relates to children, teachers, performers and those who deal with the public, like politicians and media professionals.  The Moon aligns with the Sagittarius Sun for travel and educational prospects. Mercury also speaks for two days, urging clear messages, good news, and sparking the imagination of writers and the wanderlust of travelers.  Jupiter meets the Moon in a glorious burst of Leo optimism, enthusiasm and growth. Further your plans and surround yourself with the best allies, friends, and support team today! Enjoy some luck and see what's working for you. Today's color is gold. 

Friday: Mercury trine Jupiter, Leo to Virgo Moon

Mercury continues his efforts to get things moving, expanding, and clarified with alignment to Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter is Sagittarius's planet and Mercury is in that sign, favoring higher learning (so do send applications now), travel (do plan that winter trip before Mercury is retrograde in January/February), and the tools that keep us in touch and connected. Computer, cell phone and other technical upgrades are timed well. The Moon has a variety of aspects and emotions may be up and down today, depending on your agenda. Serious decisions and business come up with Saturn first thing. Take care of something confidently and before it becomes a problem. The Moon is void from 7:48 to 10:19 am ET and then on to Virgo for practical problem solving.  Moon and Venus put us in the mood to dress up and clean up. Neptune in Pisces adds a romantic and hazy effect to the evening's plans. Timeliness might be an issue tonight. Try not to disappoint with a no show. Friends are relying on you, Virgo, Pisces and Scorpio. Come out of your shells.  Today's color is blue.

Saturday: Virgo Moon

Virgo Moon aligns with Pluto. Being productive, organizing and feeling accomplishments are Saturday's theme this week. Studying is also favored. Find a balance of tasks and some enjoyment of home, food, creating and simple pleasures. Short forecast for a day of the basics. Feel good about something you pulled off this week. Today's color is brown.

Sunday: Virgo to Libra Moon, Sun trine Jupiter

Follow up to Jupiter's activity a few days ago. The Sun and Jupiter help put it all together for special announcements, happy occasions, beneficial opportunities and joining forces.  This is a time for expansion, clearing the way, and making the decision that opens the door to a new journey.  Venus and Neptune are in harmony too, increasing the feeling of romance, possibility and love.  Today is good timing for so many things, whether you initiate or just allow it all to unfold.  News will create discussion since the thing that makes one person happy can create discontent for another. All in all, today has much potential for joy! Go with it. Libra Moon moves in at 11:05 pm ET after just two hours void of course. Shopping is ok except for those hours. Today's color is violet.
