Weekly Transits – 11/18/2024

“Laying foundations for what we want to outlive us”

Monday, 11/18, Mercury opposes Jupiter, and the Sun makes a supportive trine to Neptune. Our minds may be in overdrive with ideas and disinformation (check your sources!) AND it’s a great day for meditation and envisioning the world as you DESIRE it to be. Consult ancient wisdom amidst present concerns of insecurity/confusion to bolster your emotional well being.

Tuesday’s Mercury/Chiron trine brings supportive, compassionate energy for helping others and preparing for the future….and speaking of the future, at 2:30pm CT Tuesday, Pluto, the great transformer, re-enters my namesake (and natal Venus’) degree (An old adobe mission) for the third and final time in our lifetimes. This officially begins the much anticipated 20-year era of Pluto in Aquarius.

If it feels like things have been crumbling or falling apart, it’s right on time: remember that between The Devil (XV – Capricorn’s card) and The Star (XVII – Aquarius’ card) sits The Tower – XVI. The first decan of Aquarius is also associated with the fast-and-furious Knight of Swords and tricky saboteur energy of the 5 of swords. Old structures must fall for us to lay a solid foundation for something of true collective value. And that’s exactly what An old adobe mission’s degree relates to – creating something of lasting value that serves the greater good and stands the test of time. That time starts now, this week. What foundations are you laying?

On Thursday, when the Sun enters my personal Sun sign of Sagittarius (I’m a relentless optimist – can you tell?), it also makes an empowering sextile to Pluto in its new home of Aquarius. It’s a great day to clean house, both literally and metaphorically. Break stale patterns, create new routines and rejuvenate your soul.

Venus sextiles Saturn Friday, helping us to clarifying our values, set clear boundaries, and discover ways to practically and purposefully work with others.

Oh, and spoiler alert: Mercury goes retrograde Monday the 25th…double check those travel plans!
