As of 9:44 am CT on 11/1/2016, the Moon will be in the Fire sign of Sagittarius.  This brings a spirit of optimism, adventure and curiosity.

Enjoy and take in the knowledge that could come your way during the next couple of days while this inspirational energy surrounds us.

Mercury Goes Direct Today

Mercury goes Direct today at 8:57 am CT. This trickster has been up no good even yet this morning for me, messing with my computer!  

The Moon is in the watery depths of Scorpio with no VOC (void of course) until 11:32 pm CT tonight through 10:46 am Thursday. Shopping under a VOC Moon can lead you to purchase items that you thought would be useful, but later turn out to be left in the drawer, or not what you expected.

Get your Valentine's shopping done. Under the influence of Scorpio, you may choose a gift for your sweetheart that is rather "Shades of Grey" in nature! If you wait until Thursday or Friday, under the influence of fiery Sagittarius, the gift you choose may be playful and adventurous - a vacation for two?

Jupiter entered Leo

Jupiter (expansion) has just entered the sign of Leo (playful, generous and dramatic).  That sounds wonderful to me.  I could use a dose of playfulness, how about you?

Jupiter is the ruling sign of Sagittarius, the energy to learn, share (teach), profess, expand and bring optimism forward.  Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, meaning that it is radiant, warm and flexible.

For those of us born late July through late August, or with planets in Leo, Jupiter may bring good fortune, enjoyment, or more learning opportunities.

The Sun will be entering Leo in two days, July 23^rd.  Leo is another Fire sign, but it is Fixed energy.  Fixed energy is just about like it sounds – not receptive to change.  Leos can be stubborn, or stuck in their ways unless given extraordinary reasons to change.

The positive side of Leo is charisma, generosity and warmth that evolved Leos radiate.  The negative side is puffy-chested, “I’m better than you, so bow down to my greatness" energy.

Most Leos just want to be accepted, acknowledged for their contributions and loved for who they are.  I think that’s true of most of us, don’t you?

Try not to feel that you are giving part of yourself when you compliment someone.  Just recognizing another person for their gifts, love, creativity or help can bring light into an otherwise gloomy day.

Today may be challenging

You could feel somewhat unlovable with today’s energy (Mars is square the Sun) making you feel as if you aren’t worthy of love and perhaps you’ll push them away if someone tries to cozy up to you. Let them bring you sweet messages and soak it up!

The next 36 hours may bring to you something new and adventurous courtesy of the Moon in Sagittarius.  On the other hand, you could hear/read a lot of preachiness on a topic that may not be in agreement with your beliefs.

Take advantage of this mostly fun energy before the Moon makes its entry into Capricorn (at about 10 pm ET on July 10th). The energy will then be all work and no play.
