Weekend Forecast: A Root Awakening! & Recipes for Grand Marnier (Orange Liquor) Bundt Cake

If anything in your life is out of balance, it may hit you like a ton of bricks this weekend. Although the Moon is in the sign of "Peace-making & Diplomatic" Libra, the "Emotional" Moon is moody & cranky this weekend and therefore exposing the "Scales of Justice" side of Libra, cutting out the social niceties & slicing issues down to size, similar to paring an apple down to it's core.

Venus rules the sign of Libra, however, the Libra Moon begins by interrogating it's own planetary ruler, Venus, (the Love Planet), focusing your attention on the problem areas of relationships. Some of these problematic areas are at a standstill & you may feel as though all your efforts are in vain. 
A make-it or break-it mentality is in the wind and this attitude extends to friends, family, co-workers and romantic partner(s). In any event, you will be feeling a decision needs to be made.

Moreover, the Moon opposes "Innovative" Uranus in "Assertive" Aries and Squares Pluto in Steadfast" Capricorn in an intense T-Square. Your ideals and values on relationships, money, work, home-life, property, etc., may be clashing and clanging around in your mind as if you're listening to the "run" cycle of pots & pans that were improperly loaded in the dishwasher. Moreover, "Action-Orientated" Mars is forming a negative aspect to "Outer-world" Neptune in Dreamy Pisces, making it difficult to act upon your vision and evaporating your creative ideas into thin air. A focus on work, career and all that's practical verses your hopes, dreams and fantasies may have you wondering: What's next? Although life may seem like a bit of a challenge, redirecting your energy and re-mapping your plan may help. The Good News is that the Moon's Quincunx with "Outer-World" Neptune in Pisces may help you in this process, but because Mars is stirring up trouble w/ Neptune, it may be a better weekend for re-formatting your plans and laying them out on a drawing board, rather than trying sail in stormy seas. It's a great time for re-evaluation of your life & deciphering what works for you, and discarding what no longer serves you. Hold-off on the conversations that begin with: "Honey, Let's Talk." Instead, it's a better day to high-tail it out of "where-ever" the problems exist to avoid confrontation of any sort.

On Saturday, the Moon decides to play nice with Jupiter, but keeps Mercury, Neptune and Mars as distant foes. Harsh words are possible and disagreements may escalate into hostile arguments. If you're willing to stay up late on Saturday night, the Moon finally patches things up with Venus forming a pleasant aspect at 11:32 pm (EST).



On Sunday, the planetary aspects bring some light at the end of the tunnel, however, any manifestations that you created over the weekend may come to a boiling point as the Moon enters "Relentless" Scorpio, joining 3 other planets; Venus, Mercury & Saturn all in the "Impassioned" zodiac sign of Scorpio. In any event, it should be an emotionally tense day. All that is deep, dark, mysterious and secretive may be alluring. You may unveil some deep, dark secrets. A sudden realization, spiritual awakening, and the "Ahha" moment. On the contrary, if you have something hidden, it may be revealed!

If you want to escape it all, it's a great weekend to bury yourself into some sci-fi movies. Alternatively, if you have bottled up restless energy, it's a great time to pull out the Christmas deco or bake some delicious treats for the holidays.
