30 November our own minds, what we imagine, might turn out to be our own worst enemy—we may frighten ourselves with extrapolations and ‘What If?’ and may be far too quick to credit the past as better, smarter, and as holding the keys to success in the future. No, that’s not right. Bring everything valuable from the past but realize that it must take a new shape to go into the future; then, if you can clear the mind of fear, harness creative visualization to draw a picture of precisely what you want—attractive quality is strong right now, and so must be turned toward what will be, not used to generate boogey men. (Venus trine the South Node and sextile NN-Zeus, Mercury square Neptune)

Today’s image is a golem, made of clay, animated by what frightens us. The word means “unshaped form” and hints that what pursues, torments, troubles, and seems to bedevil us from without are really just those things we strongly fear; fear carries a charge that can invest inanimate material with life, and so deliver what we are most scared of right to us. Consider how differently those things that frighten us appear when we realize we are generating them ourselves, animating them with negative energy, and sending them out to chase us with a loud ‘Boo!’ Not so scary, anymore, are they? The image echoes Merc square Neptune, described in its current scenario above.

Look within and you'll be surprised, Sagittarius. Fernand Allard L'Olivier 'Baigneuses Surprises' {{PD}}

Look within and you’ll be surprised, Sagittarius. Fernand Allard L’Olivier ‘Baigneuses Surprises’ {{PD}}

You’re moving toward discovering who you really are, dear Sagittarius–are you surprised at that? You may already feel connected to values and ideals, but those aren’t You–and without facing what you’re truly about you can’t connect effectively to your real Power in the world–and the current position also means you may promote as your own qualities that fit your image but not your abilities. No matter your age, it’s time to refurbish the Self-image, especially the mental one you carry; you have the capacity to visualize goals at this time, and so can steer efforts in the real world efficiently–but none of this matters without Self-knowledge. Dig deep, be married to the Truth, don’t avoid feeling bad or sad–that’s what created the disconnect in the first place–and embrace what’s new, original, and unique within yourself–that’s where your true talents lie. Make seeing yourself clearly, and honesty, your dual gods, and by your next birthday you’ll have built a brand-new, truer to your Soul, You. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Tell it like it is, Sag. 'An Interesting Story' Julius Müller-Massdorf  {{PD}}

Tell it like it is, Sag. ‘An Interesting Story’ Julius Müller-Massdorf {{PD}}

Dear Sagittarius, communication and the mental processes may be the big focus for you this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, for several reasons: thinking takes on a fresh new openness and concentrates on acquiring new knowledge as well as vetting current beliefs and life philosophies; the mind shows a willingness to face issues that it previously chose to ignore, which means problems are dealt with and relationships are hashed out, one way or another; optimism becomes your daily OS; and all this change makes for a new sense of respect, both Self-respect and that which is earned as others see your high level of integrity and positivity. Be prepared–you may go through a period or two when you’re not quite so sure of your mental stance–that’s perfectly normal, and to be expected–and you may get some negative blow back from those who, shall we say, prefer you to be less confident. Don’t let any obstacles, but especially emotion-triggering ones, stop you from this very beneficial re-fit of your life. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Know who you are before you go forward, Sag! 15th century wall hanging {{PD}}

Know who you are before you go forward, Sag! 15th century wall hanging {{PD}}

You may have spent some time last year embroiled in irritating nonsense, or possibly being deceived–or was it simply confusion? but you are out of the fog now, and looking forward to being and expressing yourself, 100%–but are you really sure what that means? One of the hangover effects of last year’s draining or disorienting atmosphere may be a strong desire to get back to your own interests and goals, but a failure to take into account how recent experiences may have changed you, and so changed what you want. Go slow, at least in the first few months of this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius, and make an effort to sort feelings from thoughts–confusing the two may be another thing that plagues your progress–because until you’ve sorted things out and become acquainted with the person you are now, you may continue to operate under an image that’s no longer valid–and that will of course bring you things and life experiences you no longer want. Get things in order and there are big possibilities for both healing yourself and earning–and those are good things, right? Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Don't let a too-emotional outlook take you off course, Sag. Bonaventura Peeters - 'Fortified Harbour' c1646 {{PD}}

Don’t let a too-emotional outlook take you off course, Sag. Bonaventura Peeters – ‘Fortified Harbour’ c1646 {{PD}}

You and the Collective may not be getting along well this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius; is it because you feel that going along with the program may mean you’ll lose your individuality, or is it because it seems that what the group demands precludes you exercising your creativity in the most genuine way possible? In either case, what you think you know about both Collective energy and your own creative options may be an illusion based in emotion, so before you go into full blown escapism or sabotage in protest, re-evaluate–what you may find is that your true power lies in and through relationships, finances, and your ability to negotiate these, specifically because successful interaction with either money or people requires that you recognize the autonomy and integrity of each; with people the benefits of treating them with respect are obvious, while with money, a thoughtful stance means you send your assets to causes and put them behind ideas that represent your ideals, what truly matters to you–and you’ll glean unexpected benefits from such behavior. Take the time to take a second look at what it is you believe about your reality, and then put your energy behind people, money, or both. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

You may go on a creative bender this coming year, dear Sag, through to your next birthday, but this attempt to translate a primal, generative energy into your life scenario may cause a great deal of conflict. It’s something you must do; but you must also be prepared for the way expressing yourself will bring the past, in all its technicolor sturm und drang, to glorious life once again. Relationships could be tough and others might not ‘get it’, making for a potentially lonely year. Understanding how difficult this will be is a good start; knowing that what will eventually emerge from all this will be, in some real sense, your masterpiece, should help you see that the struggle, and yes, pain, will be worth it. Facing those buried issues and claiming your strength, wisdom, and your own Self-respect will gain you the respect of others, and will clear the path to that seminal creative moment–so what are you waiting for? Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Fernand Khnopff – ‘I lock my door upon myself’ 1891 {{PD}}

Sag, it looks to me as if the feelings you feel this coming year, through to your next birthday, may be contrary to (and judgmental of) your natural inclinations, as well as those things you want to accomplish and be. This internal strife may lock you in place and make it very difficult for you to aim successfully for what you want. The most effective approach may be to ground communications and thought in instinct, and by acknowledging things you might otherwise overlook. It’s what you don’t know about or recognize as important that might trip you up this year; focus the mind on facts, real-world circumstances, and effectively dealing with barriers, and you may strike a note of genius in implementing your Will and in taking action that gets you where you want to go. Happy Birthday, dear Sagittarius, and good luck!

What's an Archer to do? Sir Joshua Reynolds 1768 {{PD}}

What’s an Archer to do? Sir Joshua Reynolds 1768 {{PD}}

Memory exerts a strong pull this year, dear Sagittarius, through to your next birthday, and that may take you off a track designed to make the creative, or matters of the House ruled by Neptune, the centerpiece of your attention for the next phase of development. That’s not the only problem: you may also find that matters long ignored can’t be put aside any longer–what’s an Archer to do? Face those previously abandoned issues, and even as you deal with them, draw inspiration from them. The creative is not just about making things, it’s about taking a responsive and resourceful approach to life itself; you have the opportunity to fashion something uniquely inspired and uniquely you in your world this year. Don’t be distracted by what was, particularly by obligations or restrictions; look closely and you’re likely to find that the circumstances that created those ties have either morphed into something else or are long gone–and that means you are free. Happy Birthday, Sag, and good luck!

Deal with your issues, Sag, and you could be feeling brand new soon. Gustav Klimt 1917 {{PD}}

Deal with your issues, Sag, and you could be feeling brand new soon. Gustav Klimt 1917 {{PD}}

This year, dear Sagittarius, you’re a New Moon baby! That means you are offered, one way or another, a fresh start, especially in matters of the natal Houses ruled by the Sun and Moon, in the House where the New Moon occurs, and in matters of identity and life purpose. You’re moving into a new phase of creative expression, especially in terms of your Soul’s purpose and intents, but first you must define the facets of Self-expression, preference, taste, and focus that will guide you in a fresh direction–and that may not be as easy to do as it sounds. The past, memory, and your own rebellious nature threaten to distract and put you off track, at least temporarily, and you may suffer deeply from unwarranted guilt or unresolved rage. The only thing to do, Sag, is deal with it, head on–don’t hide, and what you may find is that difficulties that seemed insurmountable dissolve in the face of your Willingness to see things as they are, not as they once were. Repudiating the past’s hold on you will go a long way toward making you free in the present, so don’t hesitate. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

John William Waterhouse ‘Echo and Narcissus’ 1903 {{PD}}

26 November actions and choices follow our highest values, and dealings with both money and relationships come from a position of personal strength and sureness in our unique worth—and yet what we do somehow comes from hurt, a kind of ‘making up for the past’ impulse that, for all our success, may leave us a little sad, and may subtly undermine our choices. We can avoid this ‘past echo’ effect if we can free the mind from any residual embarrassment over expressing our own uniqueness, and if we can avoid falling into the delusion that we are in complete, conscious control of our lives and the direction they take. (Mars parallel Vesta, Venus square Chiron, conjunct Ceres, and trine Uranus, Mercury sesquiquadrate Uranus, Neptune square the Sun-Earth axis)
1 AM PST of the 26th the Capricorn Moon trines Sedna. We may be able to successfully combine intuition, emotional perceptions, and instinct to firm up and make final some important choices or agreements to our advantage–do it if you can. 5 AM PST the Moon sextiles Saturn and catches Vesta at the midpoint. We may find ourselves swayed heavily toward supporting a reality that respects what we care about–choices made at this point, then, can’t help but be good ones. 7 AM PST the Moon sextiles Mercury; thoughts follow feelings, feelings follow thoughts. 10:30 AM PST the Moon quincunxes Black Moon Lilith in the 29th degree. We may meet sudden emotional crisis in the form of things too long ignored. Now that you know, don’t ignore them! Void begins at 11:11 AM PST; the Moon enters Aquarius at 11:23 AM PST. 6:30 PM PST the Moon trines Earth. Surroundings are likely to be hospitable–if they’re not, make them that way.

Fire Grand Trine Venus-Ceres/ Uranus/ Juno=Efforts that empower, show individual uniqueness and originality, and that draw on one’s natural roles or on Nature herself will be highly successful at this time. Pour your fire into a form that reflects you.

Today’s image is a large knife with an oddly bent tip. Does this imperfection ruin the knife? No, it may not matter at all, depending on how we want to use the knife. Don’t overemphasize in your own mind those imperfections we all have and are aware of–they don’t, and can’t, stop you from doing what you were made for.

You can get this delivered to your email each and every day for the next 7+ months for the price of a 6 month subscription! Subscribe now (no more subs will be accepted after 1 January 2015) and reserve your free copy of ‘We Are All Vessels: Vesta in the Natal Chart’! And have a great Wednesday!
