In the Stars November 24-December 1, 2024 . . . Shining Light on the Astrology of the Week
The Sun now shines in the exuberant, optimistic sign Sagittarius. It’s time to be social and enjoy holiday gatherings.
Pluto moved into Aquarius on November 19 for its 20-year stay in the sign of science, innovation, and independence.
Mercury turns retrograde Monday, November 25. Before then, make travel plans, and tie up communication and holiday party invitations. The retrograde period will be a time for reflecting, reviewing, and revising.

Sunday, November 24, is another industrious day framed for work, so keep at it. Use this last day of the weekend to get your life in ship shape, especially as it is the day before Mercury goes retrograde. The Moon squares Mercury and Jupiter, making us feel overextended, yet optimistic and engaged. The Moon trines Uranus, giving intuition and taking us in new directions. On Sunday evening you will look back at the weekend and be amazed by all you accomplished. At bedtime, the Moon opposes Neptune, softening the evening and leading us into dreamland.
The work week is emboldened early Monday morning, November 25, with a Moon-Pluto trine. The Moon’s benefic sextiles to the Sun and Mars boost the day higher. We feel confident, and could take some risks. Be sure to check details before moving forward, as Mercury moves into retrograde motion at 6:42 p.m. PST, and it will spin in reverse for the next three weeks.
The Libra Moon trines Jupiter, and squares Venus on Tuesday, November 26. As a result, we may feel overextended. The Sun trines the North Node, encouraging our pursuits. In the evening the Moon opposes Chiron, inviting the healing of any hurt feelings. A Sun-Mars trine invites us to finish the day strong.
Wednesday, November 27, is prone to upheaval. First, the Moon opposes Eris, and next the Moon squares Pluto. These are volatile aspects that may trigger dissonance and change. Conversations may be intense. Aim to channel this potent, turbulent energy for good.
Thanksgiving Day, November 28, holds a great deal of steam as a result of a Scorpio Moon-to Mars-in-Leo square. It may be best not to test these stormy waters with family differences at the Thanksgiving dinner table. A Moon-Saturn trine later in the day will bring reason and restraint.
There are mixed highs and lows on Friday, November 29. First is a sweet, affectionate Moon-Venus sextile that may encourage Black Friday shopping and spending. A Moon-Uranus opposition later may disrupt plans and intentions and take us in new directions. Yet, a little later the Moon rests in a soft, compassionate trine to Neptune.
The Moon moves into sunny, good-humored Sagittarius early Saturday morning. The Moon is dark all day until it forms a New Moon at 10:21 p.m. PST at 9:32 degrees Sagittarius, so we may want to give some quiet space to ourselves. The New Moon trines Mars, giving courage and hopefulness.
Venus trines Uranus on Sunday and Monday, perhaps bringing new expressions of love. Saturn’s square to the New Moon makes Sunday morning, the first day of December, feel constrained, and we are reminded of weekend chores that need to be done. As the day wears on, exuberance builds, as the Moon opposes Jupiter.
It is not easy to get the work week going on Monday morning, December 2, as the Moon is void of course from 7:46 am-1:08 pm PST, along with Mercury being retrograde. We are likely to feel pulled in many directions at once without a clear sense of priorities until the Moon moves into Capricorn at 1:08 p.m. PST. With the Moon in the hard-working cardinal earth sign Capricorn, we get to work on the tasks at hand. The Venus-Uranus trine in earth signs may shake out surprises in love and money matters.

The Week in Short:
Sunday: Another industrious day with a lot of activity, a few surprises, and then a soft landing before bedtime.
Monday: Bold, empowered day when you can take some risks. Mercury turns retrograde, so double check details (and for the next three weeks).
Tuesday: While we may feel overextended, we are drawn to what is purposeful and good. We can finish the day strong.
Wednesday: Intense, volatile day. Upheaval may occur. Channel potent energy for good.
Thanksgiving Thursday: Emotions are hot and volatile, and easily triggered. Reason and restraint come later in the day.
Friday: Mixed day of sweetness and compassion, disruption and independence.
Saturday: Sunny, good-humored day that ends on a high note of hopefulness.
Sunday: New and exciting expressions of love are unleashed, while reminded of chores that need to be completed. Exuberance builds.

Moon Void of Course:
This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
