Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!

Hi Friends and Colleagues,

I want to thank all of you for reading my work.  I love Astrology and I am grateful that I can do what I love.  This is a very mental, emotional and creative expression and I enjoy its depth and mental gymnastics.  I am grateful for my family and the untold happiness and peace I feel with them. I am grateful for the love of my life for without him, I would be lost. I am supremely grateful for my home, which is cozy and warm and holds all my memories and good feelings.  Since this is Thanksgiving, I think we should all acknowledge what we are grateful for.  We usually do it sitting around the table before we dive into our Feast.  I am going to ask you to acknowledge what you’re grateful for at your table. This has been a difficult year but all years have their ups and downs. We are on the precipice of a New Year and all our hopes are sky high.   If we are grateful, we won’t be worried about tomorrow.  We are all on a personal journey throughout our lives that interweaves with the journeys of others forming a tapestry of life. Communication, kindness, empathy and love are the colors of this work of art. Sensitivity, intuition and understanding form the pattern of the tapestry.    I am so thankful today and I hope you are too.

This New Moon at 5 degrees of Sagittarius has set us on a new path that we may not be aware of for another week or so. If you know Sag like I know Sag, you would say that life was about to get more fun.  Sag brings vitality, curiosity and expansion to this New Moon.  You’ll start to feel more at ease and celebratory. The chart shows a strong trine from Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars to the South node in Leo.  This indicates an harmonious aspect between the above mentioned planets and the point of the South node.  There seems to be something you came to learn in this life and this New Moon will give you the opportunity.

Saturn is still in orb to the opposition to Uranus but for all intents and purposes, I feel this has reached its high point.  I know it is still a challenge but you have achieved more control over the aspect.

I would like to explain how I interpret my forecasts.  I construct a chart of the New Moon or Full Moon and examine the aspects that are made in the chart.  I take each sign and forecast the aspects thru the prism of that rising sign and constellation.

Since I am not doing your chart personally, I am using your rising sign as our contact point.  I interpret the New Moon or Full Moon thru the prism of your ascendant.  I feel this is less general and may have more meaning for you.  You need to see how your planets influence my aspects.  (Only if you are students is this a possibility.)

Please use your Ascendant to read your forecast. You can also read your Sun sign but the ascendant will read more true.
