Sunday is when some of us may have our Thanksgiving moment; Venus is conjunct Ceres in Scorpio about midnight. Look around you at your home, neighborhood, family, the feast awaiting prepping in the refrig, etc. Even if it is less than it once was, be grateful for having anything in a world where many are days from starving to death.
A poignant Venus square Neptune reminds us of those who are not there. This may affect Scorpio and Aquarius more than other signs. To remedy that, you might consider documenting the multi-generation gathering with some group photographs or video, and share that with those who are unable to attend. It would mean a lot to everyone concerned.
PS: The Moon will be in watery Pisces on the holiday so that should help keep the bird moist, and produce lots of gravy. Those fire-sign Thanksgivings seem to produce dried-out turkeys.
Venus at 19 degrees Scorpio is square Jupiter in Aquarius on Monday afternoon (5:02 pm). The two benefics do not often quarrel but when they do it is very annoying for us humans who depend on their good graces. Actually we are being forced to align our desire for material things and our urge to do good for the greater humanity. If you can do that, you not only have it made but you might be a saint.
Venus at 22 degrees Scorpio trines Uranus in Pisces on Wednesday evening. You may attract some very unusual or even eccentric friends at this time. You enjoy being with people who are somehow different, and are not possessive in these friendships. Artists may experiment with unique styles or unusual media.
Mercury at 16 degrees Sag trines Mars in Leo on Thursday morning. You may be better able to focus on achieving your desires, using your mental skills like logic, reasoning, or number-crunching. Also sports fans could see some great plays and great teamwork. Mars especially in Leo will dig in and play hard, while the aspect to Mercury enhances the accuracy of handoffs, passes, and play-calling.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Even if you have less than you once did, I hope that you can all be thankful for what you do have. Reach out to others to help them, even in small ways, I should say especially in small ways. Having a single person over for Sunday dinners, for example, will help them in so many ways, and you will enrich your life.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is in Aries from 10:11 pm Thursday through the weekend. The holiday weekend may feel frustrating to you; you really would like to have more control over your life but face it, so would we all. Friday morning's opposition between Moon in Aries and Saturn in Libra can make you feel acutely frustrated, cramped, restricted. Work off some frustration in exercise and then enjoy an evening with fire-sign friends under a Moon-Sun trine. Watch some ball games or have a cookout. Saturday has lots of sextiles to help you get something done, also a trine to Mercury (10:27 am) can help you reach people you want/need to talk to.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – Working in partnership can help you achieve something in the career world; that's what I see the Venus-Jupiter square doing for you. On Wednesday your partner may meet one of your friends and think he/she is pretty strange. But a romance may blossom nevertheless, so be careful if your partner is more than just a business partner and you want to keep it that way. You friends may seem strange even to you on Thursday under a Moon-Uranus conjunction in Pisces, in your solar eleventh house. Oh well, everyone is welcome at the Thanksgiving table, and there IS enough pie for them all, isn't there?
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – Gemini is one of the signs that benefits most, and most easily, from the entrance of Saturn into Libra. You have always been adept at many things, and are a natural at multi-tasking. Now Saturn gently takes you by the sleeve and asks you to map out a three-year plan for yourself. You have been too inclined to think only about the near future, but by looking at what you think might be doable over the long term, you can make a lot more progress than you ever thought was within your reach. Best days are Sunday with a Moon trine Saturn, Tuesday with its Sun-Saturn sextile, Thursday with ruler Mercury trine Mars, and Friday with its compatible Sun-Moon trine.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – On Wednesday you may really enjoy a water-sign trine; Venus tines Uranus in Pisces for a lot of laughs and love as the women share prep duties or take a break from them. The holiday occurs under a compatible Moon in Pisces, so your guests are glad to gather at your home for tradition and for a bit of spiritual renewal. Friday it's OK to just rest, but Saturday has a lot of cardinal Aries energy, and several sextiles to help you get things done.
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – We have felt your courageous Mars in Leo this month, as you dug in to fight for the good fight. Thanks. Not everyone will be so grateful, such as on Monday morning when maybe you insist on not yielding a lane when the moment calls for some accommodation. Share, Leo, share. That's what this week is all about. Friday should be quite productive as Moon trine Saturn energy helps you get chores done. Then it is off to a fire-sign gathering that evening under a Sun-Moon trine. Watch the ball games, or play some touch football, or host a cookout. It's all good.
VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – You are adaptable this holiday week. The Moon is in compatible mutable Pisces so you may be asked to pitch in with some of your knockout veggie dishes or home-made bread. Ruler Mercury is trine Mars in Leo on Thursday, when you may have to think on your feet. Good Mercury aspects this week are on Sunday evening and Saturday morn. You are not especially comfortable this week, maybe because the Moon is not in the most compatible signs or maybe because you are not really keen about excess. But you set a healthy table and give thanks for a healthy family.
LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Sunday may be your best day this week when the Moon trines Saturn in Libra. You put a good face on the reality (Saturn) of today, and can realistically plan for the long term. The Moon in Pisces this holiday week gives you a chance to be more creative or to adapt to your current situation. Perhaps you have a recipe for 2, or for 45, which you have to scale up or down as needed. Or you have to turn a table to accommodate guests that day. Whatever, get a helping hand for the heavy stuff.
SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – Monday brings an opportunity to effect a win-win result from the Venus square to Jupiter. (see note at top of column) You might give yourself an incentive of promising to donate X percent to a local food bank if you make X amount on a sales call, for example. Or you might share your good fortune in some way; keep the good karma going, you know. Wednesday should prove interesting as you might meet some eccentric people under the Venus-Uranus trine. You might also find love or money by using the computer (Uranus).
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – The Sun in Sag sextiles Saturn in Libra mid-morning Tuesday. If you have not set some personal goals for the month, you should really sit down and do that; Saturn will help you stick to a plan long enough to see it accomplished. Also you may find yourself instilling order in your workplace or home. Enlist a friend if needed to clear out a room for a home office. Friday should be productive for you, when the Sun and Saturn help you have energy and discipline to finish jobs. You might also get all your fire-sign friends together for fun that evening.
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – Capricorn enjoys the sensual experience of this year's holiday gathering. Moon in Pisces will accent the aroma of the spices and pie, and also the general warm-fuzzy feeling of the day. Perhaps you can document the multi-generation gathering with some group photographs or video, and share that with those who are unable to attend. It would mean a lot to everyone concerned. Friday can be very productive as Saturn is sextile, and Moon is nudging you with a square. Your cardinal energy kicks in on Saturday when the Moon in Aries receives lots of help in getting tasks done. Got to work off some of that gravy, you know.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The Moon is in Aquarius from Sunday till midday Tuesday. The Moon trines Saturn in Libra early Sunday, giving you the discipline to stick to your agenda for the day and get your projects done. Then the Moon sextiles Mercury that evening, which favors conversation, wordplay, word games, or composition of meaningful papers. The Moon opposes Mars early Monday, which is NOT a sign to get into any 'playing chicken' games on your morning commute. Maybe you can burn off some competitive energy in an early workout or just by setting a personal goal for the day or week. It is OK to just watch a movie Monday night, because the Moon conjunct Neptune needs a fantasy or dream.
PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – The Moon is in Pisces from 11:07 am Tuesday till Thursday evening. Tuesday afternoon looks very serious with you dealing with issues of control (Pluto) and responsibility (Saturn). If you want to have the say-so over your schedule, then you have to assume the responsibility to get your assignments done. Maybe you can organize your time better on your own than if you had to follow the office schedule (or whoever's), but I think you will have to prove it before you get this freedom to tele-commute or whatever your objective is.

Your Milky Way Horoscope Nov. 15-21, 2009
By Milky Way Maid
Natives of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) may feel the tensions of a T-square even tho it is not exact. A stellium of Sun, Mercury, Moon, Venus in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo and Jupiter-Neptune in Aquarius. The Moon square Mars, and Sun square Neptune are exact on Sunday night. The first can have you burning up energy in wasted effort, and the second can bring self-delusion or intoxication. You might be able to channel the energy of this transit with a deliberate effort in support of positive Jupiter-Neptune memes like religious dedication, meditation, community involvement, music, and healing. Even your personal film festival would fit. Neptune is also water, so you may find it beneficial to take various water treatments including sauna, whirlpool, or even a bubble bath. Visiting a water park might do it for you, too, or watching fish in your aquarium.
Mercury enters Sag on Sunday night, and Sun enters Sag on Saturday night. It's an all-Sag week when the Moon also dallies in the same sign Tues-Thurs. Adaptability becomes a key word, so try to figure out how you can incorporate changing markets to your own situation.
Mercury is sextile Saturn in Libra midnight Monday. This is a good time to not only organize a department or a closet, but to learn to master a subject. You might enroll in a class, or get informal instruction from a friend.
Venus in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo early Thursday. Fixed signs may feel like the adage, “you can't live with 'em, and you can't live without 'em” is SO true! A love-hate relationship gives you cause for second thoughts. But realize that we all have our foibles and flaws, and try to tally your own such traits.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – Your natal planets plus the Moon in Sag and Mars in Leo start a bright 'fire sign' for all your friends to gather around. You are likely to gather at a sporting event or fun “casino night”. The Venus square Mars aspect midweek gives a real boost to your energy level. Mars in your solar fifth house will get you started on creative projects. Mars may even get you some playing time in local sports. PS -- I bet you are already planning a big, spectacular holiday display, possibly with some help from a techie friend.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – The beginning of the week may put you on edge, and the pressure you feel could be coming from yourself, not from others. Giving yourself timeouts to read or take a walk can help, also playing music (I don't mean playing taped music, I mean playing an instrument yourself.) Groups may be contentious or competitive, but you can change the dynamic there. Break the ice, offer cookies, freely share your own tips for handling tricky issues, etc. Gradually the atmosphere will change.
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – Twins get a boost this month from Sun and Mercury moving into opposing Sag. You benefit from tossing ideas back and forth with a spouse or other sounding board. Tuesday's Mercury in Sag sextile Saturn in Libra helps you master a new course of study; perhaps you find a private instructor. Your studies may be in a creative arts or just in creative use of technical applications.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Venus in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo, affecting your solar fifth and second houses. You may spend too much on art supplies or on recreation, but geez, the soul needs its food, too, just as much as the body does. Well, maybe you can sell some of your holiday treats that use your secret family recipe. On Friday, the Moon in Capricorn sextiles Venus in Scorpio; perhaps your spouse can help you create your own supply of canvases or other surfaces to paint on.
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – We love you Leo, but sometimes you act like your opinion is the only one that counts. And this Mars in Leo is terribly brave and strong, but also headstrong, stubborn and opinionated. Apply some of your Leo generosity towards giving others the space to feel that their opinion is valued, too. Share the spotlight. Boost the spirits of those who have lost heart; lend them some of your courage.
VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Virgo also feels energized by the entry of Sun and Mercury into Sag. Questions arise that prod you to find the answers. Also because they enter your solar fourth house, they refocus energy on home and family. You may want to prep your home for the coming holiday season with paint or just a deep cleaning. Your spouse spends more time at home, as does a child or a child's friends. Refrain from saying things you may regret midweek; that Venus square Mars affects your solar third house (communications, siblings) and self-undoing. Biting your tongue is a good skill to have.
LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Your transiting Saturn is sextiled by Mercury in Sag Tuesday. You may be called on to arbitrate matters involving siblings or neighbors (if you do try to meet with them, Thurs. afternoon is not best; Sat. night is much better). Others may ask you for advice on rules of etiquette relating to announcements or business communications. You may prefer to go to the movies on Saturday; since the Moon trines Saturn in your sign from your solar fifth house; I think you might enjoy a classic or something from the Criterion Collection.
SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – The Moon is in Scorpio from Sunday till early Tuesday. Avoid intoxication on Sunday night, due to the Sun-Neptune square; chemicals may hit you harder than normal. See notes above about the T-square. The Moon squares Neptune midday Monday, and could have you wallowing in self-pity; take your mind off personal stuff with movies, friends, etc. The New Moon that p.m. gives you a fresh start with a chance to identify where you might find fresh insights (Uranus). This NM also reinforces the spiritual side of Scorpio; you may feel called to give service in some way. Venus in your sign squares Mars in Leo Wed-Thurs, creating bickering, or mixed feelings of love-hate for the other person in your life.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – The Moon is in Sag from 12:22 am Tuesday till Thursday morn. You are very mentally active on Tuesday (Moon conjunct Mercury and sextile Saturn), with the ability to focus on science, research, reports, etc. You are more physically active on Wednesday morn due to the Moon trine Mars. A square to Uranus that evening may affect your online surfing. Maybe you can just go into offline mode and enjoy a bubble bath (Moon sextile Neptune).
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – The Moon is in Capricorn from 10 am Thursday till Saturday night. Thursday afternoon is very heavy-duty with Moon conjunct Pluto and square Saturn. You may be very determined to tackle an obstacle, or to regain control of a situation or relationship. Unfortunately you might be very willing to terminate relationships, too, if you believe they are not working out. Is there still some good worth salvaging? Counseling can help even tough situations, so give that a chance. Friday evening favors treating the wounds in a love relationship.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The Moon enters Aquarius at 10:11 pm Saturday; a trine to Saturn follows in the wee hours of Sunday. You may find yourself staying up late to clean house or finish reports for work. You will be very goal-oriented this weekend instead of vegging out watching all the ball games. Saturn's move into Libra this fall may have you going back to school or seminars to sharpen your work skills. You may even begin teaching, and I bet you'd be good at it.
PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – Sun and Mercury enter Sag, squaring your own sign. This can bring more communication and demands from bosses at work, and you may also give talks or chair meetings in your department. The fact that the Moon is near the Sun may mean you represent the company in public in some way, perhaps at a local charitable event. A child in college may need a health matter tended to Venus in your solar ninth house squared by Mars in your solar sixth), so make sure your child has student coverage.

Watching the Planetary Hour-Wheels Go By
by Milky Way Maid
Recently I started noticing the planetary hours as they go by each day, well, most days.
MERCURY: I notice that generally, I can write a little quicker during a Mercury hour. It is best to START your writing project during this hour. I have not however, tried to track whether emails sent during a Mercury hour are more likely to get answered sooner.
MOON: During a moon hour, I am more likely to get hungry for a lunch or dinner, or to need a break from the computer. Sometimes I even feel like a nap. Step away from your work and just watch the clouds or aquarium or take a walk. Or go get a hug.
SATURN: This is very odd but I notice that I suddenly have the urge to straighten up papers or clean something. Weird, hey? You can stick with a project till it is done. You are willing to put some elbow grease into a job (generally a physical task). Time to get physical and accomplish something, then give yourself some points for doing so.
MARS: Feel like moving around, taking a walk, stretching those arms and legs. Seems to be best for doing your exercise routine, or for sports activities.

Your Milky Way Horoscope Nov. 8-14, 2009
By Milky Way Maid
The Full Moon tonight Nov. 2 is called a Frosty Moon; it is often so bright that you can see the eerie effect of the moonlight on the frosted lawns or fields below. There may even be enough light to see a rainbow after dark; go to http://SpaceWeather.com to see a beautiful photo of one taken in Yorkshire, England.
Venus entered Scorpio late on Saturday. Venus here can be obsessive or controlling; the upside is that she insists on commitment in a relationship. But she's a wonderful girl, fascinating, magnetic and complex. This week she gets a nod with a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn Sunday night, then a square to Mars in Leo on Nov. 19. I am thinking that a very nice relationship could be sparked early this month, which could heat up into something pretty sexy around mid-month. The square to Mars could mean a fight, but making up with Venus here is so much fun.
The fixed signs (Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus) should really watch their health because a T-square forms Monday between the Moon, Sun and Jupiter, with Mars close enough to meddle. Yes, there may be great opportunities for you also, but you won't be able to take advantage of them if you have run your body down. You are also likely to meet situations that humble your ego (Sun) (also Moon in Leo).
Mercury in Scorpio trines Uranus in Pisces at 6:38 am Wednesday. This is a great time to buy anything mechanical or electronic, like a car, computer, or smart phone. Mercury and Uranus are also well-known for their comic timing so you might want to tune in to the drive-time radio for a good laugh.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – A Moon square Mercury on Monday afternoon can garble messages relating to your children so confirm sleepovers, etc. Your spouse may need a bit of cheering up on Thursday night when the Moon is conjunct Saturn in Libra; try to notice if she is quieter than normal or low in energy, hunh? The Moon is in fellow fire-sign Leo this week Sun.-Tues., when you will feel very comfortable with that energy. You may take charge of the kids on those days, driving them to sports practice or chaperoning outings. Your spouse will appreciate the favor, believe me.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – A Moon square Mercury on Monday afternoon can garble messages between you, spouse and family members so make sure who picks up whom where. On Tuesday (midday), you may be able to grab the reins in a life situation that has been bugging you. You may sit up late talking or trading jokes with your spouse on Wednesday. The Sun in Scorpio square Jupiter that afternoon can also favor your efforts to get an interview or make a presentation at work. Do guard your health this week, tho, and make special efforts to eat light and deal with stress.
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – The Moon is in Libra, your solar house of fun and creativity, Fri-Sat. (It enters on Thurs. but is conjunct Saturn so unless you want to do housework or mope, forget it.) Friday has a nice aspect affect the fifth house and third house (Moon sextile Mars) which is really fun for watching or playing sports. That night you really get into conversations or books about ideas and futuristic plans. Plans for Saturday morning may get rearranged, tho, so have a Plan B. You might decide to go for a swim or take your camera to get pictures of the magnificent fall landscape.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Venus enters your solar fifth house of children and creativity, so by all means explore every meaning of the fifth house. You might enjoy supervising the kids' art projects, or taking a class yourself; attending a play or exhibit may be deeply affirming or inspiring. Times that are especially activated for related activities are: Sunday morning, midday Monday and afternoon, Wednesday morn and evening, and Saturday afternoon-evening.
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 - The Moon is in Leo from 5:23 am Sunday till Tuesday morn. The Moon squares Venus early Sunday which means you really should voice your opinion (nicely) and not be overly concerned about whether others will like you for it. Eat a lightly Sun-Mon because a T-square between Moon, Sun and Jupiter Monday can really challenge your health. On Friday, a sextile from Moon in Libra to your Mars denotes a fun time playing games with friends.
VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – The Moon is in Virgo from 8:30 am Tuesday till midday Thursday. Transiting Moon trines Pluto Tuesday morn; you will try to gain control over some aspect of your life or resent it terribly. A sextile to Venus in the afternoon makes for a pleasant late lunch with a friend or a successful sales presentation. A Moon sextile the Sun on Wednesday afternoon presents a chance to make a personal presentation or application; in-person will be favored over sending emails. A sextile to Mercury in the wee hours Thursday gives you a chance to tackle emails early.
LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – The Moon is in Libra from 12:22 pm Thursday till Saturday afternoon. A Moon-Saturn conjunction Thursday afternoon can put you in a somber mood but it's good for tackling those unglamorous chores on your list. On Friday evening, volunteer to babysit children, or attend a play; a Moon-Jupiter aspect will expand your views and touch your heart. A Neptune aspect on Saturday morning continues the accent on your solar fifth house of children, arts and creativity. So keep the grandkids over and supervise their art project.
SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 - Take a hint from my notes above on the T-square forming early in the week; watch your health and eat lightly. Sun in Scorpio squares Jupiter exactly on Tuesday afternoon; this can be a very lucky time if you are prepared to seize an opportunity. (Tip: set up a Google watch for your keyword.) The Moon is in Scorpio from 5:24 pm Saturday till the following Sunday evening. Give your partner a choice about something for the same favor in return. A Sun-Uranus trine that night says you will probably greatly enjoy a comedy or foreign film.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – The Moon in Virgo Tuesday-Thursday gives you a chance to adjust and go with the flow. A Mercury-Uranus trine affecting your solar fourth house of home can mean finding a mechanic or repairman who can finally fix something right; you may have to take it in to the shop, tho. The Moon-Saturn conjunction on Thursday afternoon may mean your friends need some cheering up, a job you are all too happy to do.
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – The Moon in Virgo this week from Tuesday morn till Thursday may be be the most comfortable days for you. You always prize Virgo's attention to detail and hard work, and you might show your appreciation in some small way. Tuesday afternoon has a swell aspect for sharing time with friends and fellow alumnae (Moon sextile Venus in your solar eleventh and ninth houses). This is followed by a Moon sextile Sun in the same houses so might be able to follow up with a long-lost frat buddy.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The Sun squares Jupiter in your sign on Tuesday afternoon, which can be the best opportunity in along while for you. Be aware however of the T-square in fixed signs (see notes at top of column) and take care of your health. Mercury squares Neptune in your sign on Wednesday night, and can play havoc with your emails and other messages. Follow up with a call or email if you have not heard back inre your inquiries.
PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – You may have lunch with a key friend on Tuesday with the idea of asking a favor from him or her, but phrase things carefully. The Moon opposes Uranus in your sign late Wednesday; you may not be receptive at all to a suggestion or a change, but think it over because it might not be a bad idea. Your plans for the weekend may have to be altered early Saturday, so try not to be too upset. Remember, you did once ask that your life not be too dull and predictable.
The Full Moon tonight Nov. 2 is called a Frosty Moon; it is often so bright that you can see the eerie effect of the moonlight on the frosted lawns or fields below. There may even be enough light to see a rainbow after dark; go to http://SpaceWeather.com to see a beautiful photo of one taken in Yorkshire, England.
Venus entered Scorpio late on Saturday. Venus here can be obsessive or controlling; the upside is that she insists on commitment in a relationship. But she's a wonderful girl, fascinating, magnetic and complex. This week she gets a nod with a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn Sunday night, then a square to Mars in Leo on Nov. 19. I am thinking that a very nice relationship could be sparked early this month, which could heat up into something pretty sexy around mid-month. The square to Mars could mean a fight, but making up with Venus here is so much fun.
The fixed signs (Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus) should really watch their health because a T-square forms Monday between the Moon, Sun and Jupiter, with Mars close enough to meddle. Yes, there may be great opportunities for you also, but you won't be able to take advantage of them if you have run your body down. You are also likely to meet situations that humble your ego (Sun) (also Moon in Leo).
Mercury in Scorpio trines Uranus in Pisces at 6:38 am Wednesday. This is a great time to buy anything mechanical or electronic, like a car, computer, or smart phone. Mercury and Uranus are also well-known for their comic timing so you might want to tune in to the drive-time radio for a good laugh.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – A Moon square Mercury on Monday afternoon can garble messages relating to your children so confirm sleepovers, etc. Your spouse may need a bit of cheering up on Thursday night when the Moon is conjunct Saturn in Libra; try to notice if she is quieter than normal or low in energy, hunh? The Moon is in fellow fire-sign Leo this week Sun.-Tues., when you will feel very comfortable with that energy. You may take charge of the kids on those days, driving them to sports practice or chaperoning outings. Your spouse will appreciate the favor, believe me.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – A Moon square Mercury on Monday afternoon can garble messages between you, spouse and family members so make sure who picks up whom where. On Tuesday (midday), you may be able to grab the reins in a life situation that has been bugging you. You may sit up late talking or trading jokes with your spouse on Wednesday. The Sun in Scorpio square Jupiter that afternoon can also favor your efforts to get an interview or make a presentation at work. Do guard your health this week, tho, and make special efforts to eat light and deal with stress.
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – The Moon is in Libra, your solar house of fun and creativity, Fri-Sat. (It enters on Thurs. but is conjunct Saturn so unless you want to do housework or mope, forget it.) Friday has a nice aspect affect the fifth house and third house (Moon sextile Mars) which is really fun for watching or playing sports. That night you really get into conversations or books about ideas and futuristic plans. Plans for Saturday morning may get rearranged, tho, so have a Plan B. You might decide to go for a swim or take your camera to get pictures of the magnificent fall landscape.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Venus enters your solar fifth house of children and creativity, so by all means explore every meaning of the fifth house. You might enjoy supervising the kids' art projects, or taking a class yourself; attending a play or exhibit may be deeply affirming or inspiring. Times that are especially activated for related activities are: Sunday morning, midday Monday and afternoon, Wednesday morn and evening, and Saturday afternoon-evening.
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 - The Moon is in Leo from 5:23 am Sunday till Tuesday morn. The Moon squares Venus early Sunday which means you really should voice your opinion (nicely) and not be overly concerned about whether others will like you for it. Eat a lightly Sun-Mon because a T-square between Moon, Sun and Jupiter Monday can really challenge your health. On Friday, a sextile from Moon in Libra to your Mars denotes a fun time playing games with friends.
VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – The Moon is in Virgo from 8:30 am Tuesday till midday Thursday. Transiting Moon trines Pluto Tuesday morn; you will try to gain control over some aspect of your life or resent it terribly. A sextile to Venus in the afternoon makes for a pleasant late lunch with a friend or a successful sales presentation. A Moon sextile the Sun on Wednesday afternoon presents a chance to make a personal presentation or application; in-person will be favored over sending emails. A sextile to Mercury in the wee hours Thursday gives you a chance to tackle emails early.

Your Milky Way Horoscope Nov 1-7, 2009
By Milky Way Maid
Venus trines Neptune on Monday evening, and Neptune goes direct on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 1:10 pm at 23 degrees 42 minutes Aquarius. One source says that Neptune retrograde brings exposure of shams and scams, or the desire to “unveil mysteries.” The retrograde gives an awareness of the subconscious but not necessarily the ability to tune into it.
I seem to notice that the retrograde in a birth chart shows people who are not so comfortable with the ordinary white lies of everyday life, or are people who are easily deceived and misled. Neptune direct though, is quite comfortable with lying to others to gain an advantage. So anyway, this may be a dry period for revelations of scandals hitting the headlines. Where is Neptune in your birth chart? And where is Aquarius in your birth chart? Take your cues from that.
BTW on Thursday, the Moon translates light from an aspect with a malefic planet (a trine to Neptune in the afternoon) into an aspect with a benefic planet (a trine to dear Venus late in the evening). Now, my opinion is that you can try to 'channel' the best of Neptune here by focusing on an ideal, on artwork and beauty, or even on beautiful dance. Then Venus can work on manifesting that thought-form into your reality.
Venus in Libra is inconjunct Uranus in Pisces Monday morning. This can be a tough aspect because one wants to have romance and freedom at the same time. Love may win out but not till after a separation or tiff. This tension can help produce some interesting and even avant-garde artwork.
Venus enters Scorpio at 7:23 pm Saturday, when she puts on the little black dress and her best pearls, a spritz of exotic perfume, and an allure that none can match. Venus here can cast a spell with just her eyes. Venus stays here for the month of November.
Venus in Scorpio natally is not supposed to be a good placement, but that all depends on how mature a soul one is. Younger or more insecure Scorpios may try to control their mates or loved ones. Mature Scorpio Venuses are just totally committed to their relationships. Venus here also has the talent of bringing out latent talents in others.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is in Aries for a few hours Sunday morning. The Moon opposes Venus and sextiles Neptune, which sounds lovely for watching the sun come up with your beloved. Take along some coffee, sweet rolls and blanket. Be careful what kind of things you blurt out Sunday evening, though, when Mercury squares Mars. Things you say to your children or your romantic partner may not be very kind at all. I know you don't understand the nuances of casual conversation, so just agree with your loved ones for the time being.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – The Moon is in Taurus from 7:45 pm Sunday till late Tuesday. The Moon is inconjunct Saturn and then trine Pluto on Sunday night; you are frustrated by obstacles etc. imposed by others and make a determination to be more in control of your destiny. The Moon squares Mars in Leo Monday morn which is not a good time to try to bull your way along. Leo is just as stubborn, so yield when making your a.m. commute, OK? The Full Moon is at 2:14 pm Monday at 10 degrees 30 minutes Taurus. The Moon is exalted in Taurus anyway, so this may be a rather auspicious time to start something that you want to last; however, be careful how you use that Mars energy. Tuesday morn has these squares to Jupiter and Neptune so while it is good to dream big, one needs to ground that dream in realistic facts as you try to figure out how to make it happen.
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – The Moon is in Gemini from 11:53 pm till early Friday. The Moon trines Saturn, exalted in Libra, right away Wednesday night; check your deadlines and be sure to deliver. Saturn in your solar fifth house is a rather odd place for a house of creativity and fun, but you know how to get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice, and Saturn is those untold hours of practice. On Wednesday you are going to have to exhibit your skills of adaptation all day. Thursday has trines to Jupiter and Neptune sandwiching a square to Uranus; ask yourself what you were doing Oct. 6-7 for clues to what this day will be like. The day ends with a trine to Venus; hugs and kisses for being sweet.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Mars in your solar twelfth house squares Mercury on Sunday; you may shoot yourself in the foot with displays of temper so watch yourself. The Moon is in Cancer from 2:42 am Friday till the following Sunday. Ugh, the Moon squares Saturn right away Friday morning; at least it will help you check things off your to-do list. Friday night favors making social contacts with people who can give you leg up. Saturday kicks off with a trine to the Sun, for fun, kids, games and creativity. A trine to Uranus in late afternoon sounds great for humor and laughs, also for fixing mechanical things.
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in your sign on Sunday. This can bring arguments in the home, or at best thoughtless remarks, so be very sure of what you want to say. Try to avoid painting yourself into a corner where you have to defend your position. Venus enters your solar fourth house, helping to beautify your home with striking and classic design. You may want a black and white tiled floor, with striking, bold color accents. Your social life revolves around home and family all month. You also try to help family members to build a foundation for their lives.
VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Venus in Libra, your solar second house, trine Neptune on Monday; this is very nice for spending on art or music but Neptune can bring losses. Be alert to where you place your wallet or purse or purchases. Venus enters your solar third house, giving you a softer touch in your communications. Neighbors and siblings may express their fondness for you, and this could include some gifts or favors.
LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – On Sunday night a Mercury square Mars aspect affects your second house of money (and other possessions). So if you don't want something to become an object of contention between you, just say no to requests to borrow whatever. Also Venus trines Neptune on Monday, and while this may be very good for the arts it is bad for losing cash or jewelry; be alert. Venus enters your solar second house which is a very pretty place for it. You use money to reinforce your self worth, which is perfectly OK to do. You also organize your living and work spaces for comfort and beauty.
SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – Mercury squares Mars on Sunday evening, affecting your first and tenth houses. You may run around in a lot of wasted effort, or overwork yourself. Mercury in Scorpio can be very cutting, too, so think before shooting off your mouth. A Sun-Mercury conjunction in Scorpio on Thursday heightens your powers of analysis. Venus enters your own sign on Saturday. You feel more comfortable expressing affection with those close to you. Some may even say that you have a greater than usual need to be liked and loved this month.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – Venus trines Neptune in your solar eleventh and third houses; you may introduce friends and siblings to each other and find they get along smashingly. Venus enters your solar twelfth house, where you may wish to share a spiritual understanding with others, or visit those in hospitals or other places of confinement. It's a good month to do volunteer work or donate to charity.
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – Neptune goes direct Wednesday in your second house of money or possessions; be aware of where you put your credit cards, wallet or purse and don't sign any contracts right now. Venus enters your solar eleventh house of friends and clubs. You may share personal resources or simple fellowship with others. You can be a force for harmonizing any group, or just bring cookies to the next club meeting.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – Neptune goes direct in your sign on Wednesday, a bad day to hold press conferences or interviews because things may get hopelessly muddled. Venus enters your solar tenth house, where you get a pat on the back for your accomplishments at work or in the public sphere. Your self-worth is validated. You help support and promote social values, and help team members to get assigned to a productive slot.
PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – Venus in Libra is inconjunct Uranus in your sign on Monday morning; you may feel inspired by some great music during your commute so tune in to a classical station. Venus enters your solar ninth house where you share values and inspire others in a college or publishing venture. You find a philosophical insight that you can take to heart, or explain such ideas to your students. You might even get an advance/royalties from a publisher or a legal judgment in your favor.
Venus trines Neptune on Monday evening, and Neptune goes direct on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 1:10 pm at 23 degrees 42 minutes Aquarius.

The Moon squares Mars in Leo Monday morn which is not a good time to try to bull your way along. Leo is just as stubborn, so yield when making your a.m. commute, OK?

Your Milky Way Horoscope Oct. 25-31, 2009
By Milky Way Maid
A T-square shapes up on Sunday when the Moon in Aquarius opposes Mars in Leo, and squares Sun in Scorpio. With all these planets in fixed signs, people will dig in their heels and resist compromise. Not a time for sticking to principal. Let's hope that you can just agree to disagree and leave it at that, going on to matters of the present moment like who will go to the Super Bowl or stuff like that. However, this T-square could portend something good like making a commitment to a relationship. The trine to Venus on Monday night (followed by the conjunction to Jupiter) sure suggests that a happy outcome will be worked out.
Wednesday is much more harmonious, with Moon trine Sun (2:37 pm), and Venus trine Jupiter (10 pm). Schedule meetings, interviews and introductions for this day. Venus-Jupiter can be a hazard to those with a sweet tooth because it can tempt you to overdo, to the point of getting sick. But very nice for social occasions like showers or pink-slip parties. You can pick up lots of gifts or helpful tips at such times.
Mercury enters Scorpio at 6:09 am Wednesday. Mercury here can be very awkward, because Scorpio fears revealing his emotions will make him vulnerable. As a result he becomes defensive, secretive or even vindictive. He enjoys a reputation for being mysterious. However, his strength is a keen insight into motivations; these insights can transform others' lives. Mercury here is a great psychoanalyst, counselor, detective, writer or actor.
Saturn enters Libra at 1:09 pm Thursday, the sign of its exaltation and incidentally the sign at the birth of America. (Saturn was at 14 degrees 47 minutes of Libra on July 4, 1776.) Saturn in Libra brings lessons in harmony, diplomacy, cooperation and marriage. Keep in mind one's ideals in the area of personal relationships because this pulls the energies upward toward that higher ground.
PS: I have been experimenting with using planetary hours during my week. So far I have not won any money. But I do notice that I get more of this column written during Mercury hours! Unfortunately I cannot always choose what gets done when (sigh) so I have to slog thru it as best as I can.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is in Aries from 2pm Friday till next Sunday night. While you won't be directly involved in the T-square on Sunday night, you may have to pull a friend out of a brewing argument. Change the subject or suggest a change of scene. On Friday another T-square forms with Moon in Aries, Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. You may feel blocked and frustrated. A trine to Mars later that night gives you an outlet in sports or playing with the kids. A sextile to Jupiter in your solar eleventh house Saturday can bring good times or good advice from friends.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – You're on the receiving end of that Sunday T-square, Taurus, and might feel like taking cover. Family and career pressures can build up, and arguments can easily break out. It may feel like everyone is blaming you, but they are just venting their own frustrations. You just demand respect for the rock of Gibraltar that you are. And frankly, a little chocolate can be counted on to sweeten everyone's mood.
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – Your Sun plays into a Venus-Jupiter trine in the other air signs on Wednesday night. A child may be accepted into a college of their choice. An in-law may be a wonderful choice to give one of your children lessons, or mentorship. The Moon-Sun trine in your tenth and sixth houses could mean a part-time job or hobby may open up into a full-time position. Ask around at work or check the bulletin board. By the time the Moon is conjunct Uranus on Thurs.-Fri. you may hear back about that.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Your sun sign fills out the trine between the Moon and Sun in the other water signs on Wednesday afternoon. Your intuition may work overtime but is rarely wrong. A child may gain acceptance at the college of their choice, become a published writer, or pass the bar exam. Just something that you are all too glad to celebrate and trumpet to everyone on your email list. Saturn enters your solar fourth house Libra. Your taste may become more conservative, and you also may begin to accumulate possessions (again?).
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – The Venus-Jupiter trine on Wednesday night is very congenial to you. You may introduce two people who really ought to meet, or a sibling may introduce you to a future spouse. Saturn enters your solar third house, prompting you to make your mind more orderly. You may embark on a course of study, or get into lifetime learning. You may start keeping notes or a notebook even though you may not have an idea of what you will make of it (such as a book).
VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Mercury enters your solar third house and you may suddenly be less verbal. You may get better at analyzing others once you sit back and observe, tho. Saturn enters your solar second house and you may have to work harder for your money. Yes, I know that lots of us have had to work harder for less in recent years, and you are probably no exception, but this placement calls for even greater thrift. The upside is that you may enjoy sharing or borrowing items that you thought you needed to buy.
LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Saturn enters your solar first house which tends to help if you wish to lose weight. You may become more serious and reserved, or more focused on what you need to do. You may also need to be more aware of proper nutrition, as your health can suffer if you ignore this. Make sure to get some sun and fight stress. An upside is that you may decide to make a relationship legal or at least formalize it with a contract. Your best day this week is likely to be Wednesday when Venus in Libra trines Jupiter; spend time with your children or in creative pursuits.
SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – Saturn enters your solar twelfth house which is often dreaded as a portent of hospitalization. However, a friend used this opportunity to get a responsible job in a hospital and enjoyed it tremendously. You may feel a call to be of service in a karmic way, to the lowest of the low or to those rejected by society. Best days this week are when the Moon is in Pisces, so see that paragraph.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – You enjoy days this week when the Moon is in Aquarius (Sun.-Tues.) Best day is Tuesday if you can get together with boon companions. Mercury entering your twelfth house gives you a chance to benefit by self-reflection or self-analysis. Find a trusted person to use as a sounding board. Saturn moves into your solar eleventh house and you may suddenly gain friends among the geriatric set. You may join groups with a serious or scientific orientation.
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – Stalled proposals may not get a response till Moon enters Aries on Friday, and even then, you are as likely to get a Nyet as a Yes. Mercury moves into your solar eleventh house of friends where you may find that your volunteered attempts at Psych 101 are not quite welcome! Saturn moves into your solar tenth house where your good business sense and perseverance are rewarded. Make a point of retaining your humility even if you attain positions of power and influence.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The Moon is in Aquarius from Sunday at 3:08 pm till early Wednesday. Your feelings (Moon) are part of the T-square that forms Sunday night between Mars-Sun-Moon. The trigger may be something related to family or marriage; it may even involve something good like making a commitment to a relationship. The trine to Venus on Monday night (followed by the conjunction to Jupiter) sure suggests that a happy outcome will be worked out.
PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – The Moon is in Pisces from 3:45 am Wednesday till midday Friday. The Moon trines the Sun in Scorpio Wednesday afternoon; you will be in a good mood and may be able to finagle needed favors. The Moon is conjunct Uranus late Thursday or early Friday; you might be way too impulsive yet be acutely psychic or intuitive about others' thoughts. Saturn and Venus in your sector of the partner's money will force you to be more disciplined about using joint accounts.
A T-square shapes up on Sunday when the Moon in Aquarius opposes Mars in Leo, and squares Sun in Scorpio. With all these planets in fixed signs, people will dig in their heels and resist compromise. Not a time for sticking to principal. Let's hope that you can just agree to disagree and leave it at that, going on to matters of the present moment like who will go to the Super Bowl or stuff like that. However, this T-square could portend something good like making a commitment to a relationship. The trine to Venus on Monday night (followed by the conjunction to Jupiter) sure suggests that a happy outcome will be worked out.
Wednesday is much more harmonious, with Moon trine Sun (2:37 pm), and Venus trine Jupiter (10 pm). Schedule meetings, interviews and introductions for this day. Venus-Jupiter can be a hazard to those with a sweet tooth because it can tempt you to overdo, to the point of getting sick. But very nice for social occasions like showers or pink-slip parties. You can pick up lots of gifts or helpful tips at such times.
Mercury enters Scorpio at 6:09 am Wednesday. Mercury here can be very awkward, because Scorpio fears revealing his emotions will make him vulnerable. As a result he becomes defensive, secretive or even vindictive. He enjoys a reputation for being mysterious. However, his strength is a keen insight into motivations; these insights can transform others' lives. Mercury here is a great psychoanalyst, counselor, detective, writer or actor.
Saturn enters Libra at 1:09 pm Thursday, the sign of its exaltation and incidentally the sign at the birth of America. (Saturn was at 14 degrees 47 minutes of Libra on July 4, 1776.) Saturn in Libra brings lessons in harmony, diplomacy, cooperation and marriage. Keep in mind one's ideals in the area of personal relationships because this pulls the energies upward toward that higher ground.
PS: I have been experimenting with using planetary hours during my week. So far I have not won any money. But I do notice that I get more of this column written during Mercury hours! Unfortunately I cannot always choose what gets done when (sigh) so I have to slog thru it as best as I can.
Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also the sign of their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. Also note: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is in Aries from 2pm Friday till next Sunday night. While you won't be directly involved in the T-square on Sunday night, you may have to pull a friend out of a brewing argument. Change the subject or suggest a change of scene. On Friday another T-square forms with Moon in Aries, Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. You may feel blocked and frustrated. A trine to Mars later that night gives you an outlet in sports or playing with the kids. A sextile to Jupiter in your solar eleventh house Saturday can bring good times or good advice from friends.
TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – You're on the receiving end of that Sunday T-square, Taurus, and might feel like taking cover. Family and career pressures can build up, and arguments can easily break out. It may feel like everyone is blaming you, but they are just venting their own frustrations. You just demand respect for the rock of Gibraltar that you are. And frankly, a little chocolate can be counted on to sweeten everyone's mood.
GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – Your Sun plays into a Venus-Jupiter trine in the other air signs on Wednesday night. A child may be accepted into a college of their choice. An in-law may be a wonderful choice to give one of your children lessons, or mentorship. The Moon-Sun trine in your tenth and sixth houses could mean a part-time job or hobby may open up into a full-time position. Ask around at work or check the bulletin board. By the time the Moon is conjunct Uranus on Thurs.-Fri. you may hear back about that.
CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Your sun sign fills out the trine between the Moon and Sun in the other water signs on Wednesday afternoon. Your intuition may work overtime but is rarely wrong. A child may gain acceptance at the college of their choice, become a published writer, or pass the bar exam. Just something that you are all too glad to celebrate and trumpet to everyone on your email list. Saturn enters your solar fourth house Libra. Your taste may become more conservative, and you also may begin to accumulate possessions (again?).
LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – The Venus-Jupiter trine on Wednesday night is very congenial to you. You may introduce two people who really ought to meet, or a sibling may introduce you to a future spouse.

How to Putz with Type Size Online
by Milky Way Maid
We all have clicked on some article somewhere online and when it comes up, the type is SOOO small, that it is all but impossible to read! Some sites, especially news sites, have buttons at the top right of the article for enlarging the type.
But for anything else, you are out of luck.
And sometimes I am not sure if my column here on Blogspot is really legible or not. If I am in a different browser, that can affect things too -- because one browser seems to default to the tiniest type known to man.
So anyway, it occurred to me that maybe some of you out there need a tip on how to enlarge the type to a readable size.
This can be done quite easily if you have the Firefox browser. Just look on the toolbar at the top and click on View. Then a list drops down, where you can select Zoom. I like to click on Zoom Text Only; that preference will stay in effect until I click it again, no matter whether I sign out. Then click on Zoom In. I have to do this maybe two or more times to get the type significantly larger. It all depends on how small it was to begin with. If it gets TOO big, just click on Zoom Out till it is comfortable for you.
I hope this helps some of you! Have a celestial week. Trines (to coin a phrase).
