I believe that the entire universe is in a giant conspiracy for our ultimate well-being, if we can listen to its promptings. All of my work and writings are aimed at helping you listen to this inner guidance.
I have been a professional astrologer for over forty years and have conducted over 25,000 astrology consultations, helping clients find their core strengths and to navigate through difficult transitions. I have a Master of Science degree in “Experimental Metaphysics” from Central Washington University (1982) and have written nine books on metaphysical topics from Astrology, meditation, and the chakras.

This week’s astrology forecast: November 18th – 24th
Message for the week: This and that too
The week starts off with all the personal planets, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, involved in oppositions—polarity rules this week. This is not a good time to make a strong stand, you will likely run into stanch resistance. With oppositions in play, the way to be at peace is to approach life with a “This and that too” attitude. Stretch yourself to at least accept opposing views exist, even if you don’t fully understand them.
The only challenging planetary aspect that peaks this week is Mercury opposite Jupiter on Monday. This jacks up mental activity towards big plans, big goals, and big visions. However, the challenge that comes from hard aspects from Jupiter is too much of a good thing, and with Mercury, it is information overload. Too many emails, texts, etc.
Pluto moves into Aquarius Tuesday for the next twenty years. It has been tiptoeing into Aquarius, then retrograding back into Capricorn, as it was during the election—leading to the conservative sweep. Now, we will get to see the full Aquarian movie, not just the trailers. The cosmic accelerator begins to get pressed leading to pedal to the metal over the next six months, as Saturn and Neptune both move into fast starting Aries and Uranus moves into Gemini. This can lead to the activation of super intelligence—stretch your mind to take advantage of this enhanced learning potential.
Adding to the acceleration of cosmic energy this week is the Sun moving into optimistic, fast-moving Sagittarius on Thursday, bringing its enthusiastic, generous vibes into the mix. The Sagittarius attitude is “Life is an adventure, bring it on!”
Monday: There are two, and very different, planetary aspects today—the Sun is trine to Neptune, while Mercury is also opposite Jupiter. Neptune is beyond the rational thinking mind, while Mercury and Jupiter are amping up the thinking mind. Take some time to just listen and receive the inspiration coming from Neptune, even though it will be difficult to quiet the jacked-up mind. The Moon is in emotionally sensitive Cancer opposite Venus and trine to Saturn tonight, stirring romantic feelings and leading to a comfortable evening.
Tuesday: Pluto moves into Aquarius today for the next twenty years—let the social cultural changes this heralds begin! The Moon is in cautious Cancer quincunx to risk-taking Mercury in Sagittarius, creating a push-pull in consciousness. The path forward is revealed this evening when the Moon is sextile to innovative, future-seeing Uranus.
Wednesday: Hopefully, you had a good night’s sleep last night with the Moon in harmony with dreamy Neptune and the Sun. The Moon enters Leo and opposite manipulative Pluto this morning, making one vulnerable to bossy people. However, the Moon is conjunct Mars through the day, giving you an abundance of courage to stick up for yourself and know your own truth.
Thursday: A big shift in the heavens today, with the Sun moving from introverted Scorpio and into extroverted, gregarious Sagittarius. The Sun is also in an energizing sextile to transformative Pluto, dissipating fear and empowering trust. The upbeat energy is enhanced with the Moon in confident Leo in favorable aspects to both expansive Jupiter and communicative Mercury. A good day to pull the stops and go for it.
Friday: Venus (love and relationships) is sextile to stabilizing Saturn, creating a smooth day in important relationships. The Moon is in Leo to start the day square to unpredictable Uranus, creating a bit of an edgy feeling coming from just wanting to do your own thing. A much more grounded afternoon and evening with the Moon entering realistic Virgo. A square to the Sun in the early evening creates some temporary anxiety over playing big or small for the evening—practicality wins out.
Saturday: A day that starts off with a heavy feeling but leads to a smooth and delightful evening. The Moon is in fastidious Virgo opposite oppressive Saturn in the very early morning, thus the heavy feeling, then moves into a trine to lovely Venus tonight—enhancing friendships and romance.
Sunday: A mixed bag in the heavens today, with the Moon in perfectionistic Virgo square to Mercury midday, then moving into a trine to Uranus this afternoon and opposite Neptune tonight. Imagine the scenario of wanting to clean out the garage, but a friend stops by wanting to go for a walk, which also sounds good. That is the square. So, you go for the walk with your friend, who then decides to help you clean out the garage—that is the favorable sextile with Uranus (the unexpected). The opposition to Neptune tonight is the desire to escape from it all—movie night?
May the stars be with you!
