Moon in Libra Rebels Venus and Jupiter: Universe Calls for a Choice; Soul Purpose Manifestation!

The "Analytical" Libra Moon Squares both Venus in Capricorn and Jupiter in Cancer. Libra energy is systematic, thorough and stimulates intellectual challenge and debate. It's a Cardinal sign and holding vast influence over the balancing the scales of any situation. Although Capricorn and Cancer are polar opposites on the zodiac wheel; these Cardinal signs both thrive for comfortable surroundings, a quality home-life and security. Venus is about love, money and beautification, and Jupiter governs career, travel, spirituality, higher education, one's soul-purpose. 

The Universe is forcing individuals to take a hard-look and critique their lives.  Decisions about love, money, security, career, choosing a soul-mate and soul purpose. A soul-purpose could mean different things to different people but here are some examples:

1. Going after the "dream job" that you always wanted.
2.  Starting or raising a family.
3. Discovery of one's Soul-Mate! 
4. Helping the poor such as participating in local food drives,
5. Going abroad to save the rain forest or the African Elephant, etc. 

Late tonight at 11:04 pm (Eastern), the Moon enters "Emotionally Intense" Scorpio joining Mercury and Saturn, also in Scorpio.  Renewed passions, enhanced intimacy and motivation can foster new relationships and initiate new ones. People tend to be secretive and enjoy working behind the

scenes under this influence. Just be careful of authority figures, as hidden agendas may suddenly be revealed. Scorpio, a resourceful sign, you may discover something significant about yourself or someone else under this influence. It's also a sign of transformation. In combination with the other planetary aspects, it's possible that you may reconstruct your life, reinvent yourself or make significant changes  in some way during this transit. The Moon remains in Scorpio throughout the weekend into Monday, December 2nd, at 6:32 am. A new Moon in "Adventurous" Sagittarius begins our week.

After an emotionally intense weekend, it's unlikely to be a dull and uneventful Monday....more on this to come.

The Virgo Moon Enlightens & Stimulates 5 Planets: Venus, Mercury, Pluto, Jupiter & Saturn! It's Time to Turn Your Life Around

The Moon has exited the stage of the fiery and dramatic sign of "Lively" Leo and has settled down it's roots in the grounded "earth" sign of Virgo. The Moon joins Venus, Mars and Pluto in the "Earth" Signs illuminating your life and highlighting a need for emotional and financial security. Relationships that have longevity and jobs that hold promise for a future are key factors. The "Pragmatic" Virgo Moon is making favorable aspects to: 

• Venus & Pluto in "Steadfast" Capricorn
• Mercury and Saturn in "Relentless" Scorpio
• Jupiter in "Security Conscious" Cancer

Personal demands for security, safety, a pleasant & structured home-life can gain some ground.  Buying a home, soul-mate, job security, pregnancies, higher education, retirement, health and well-being are becoming critical issues as the universe shifts our focus from whimsical daydreams to the finer important details of our inner lives. Personal gratification and satisfaction in oneself are of great importance. Life-long achievement & the willingness to reach out for something greater than what we have done thus far are like stomach pangs to a pregnant mother. Regardless of past success, the measuring stick in terms of personal success is perceived as out of reach for lots of people. However, this is a great time to discover your true soul purpose in work, personal life, home-life, family and love-life. A desire to meet a soul-mate and to fulfill one's life purpose are the ultimate achievements. Right now is the time to figure out: What do I want to do with the rest of my life? Now is the time to set your intentions to achieve the success that you want. However, its important that your intentions are grounded in practical reality. Whether we like it or not, this is the way the Universal pendulum in swinging. You may find yourself or those around you going through great changes. Some may go within to find themselves, especially if they are in the midst of turmoil or experiencing the aftermath of same. Although some may be alarmed by the actions of those around them, it's important to note that some people have greater difficulty with change and therefore resist change more stubbornly than others. Therefore, the process for these individuals is more painful.  This effect is magnified due to Jupiter's negative aspect to Chiron and the Sun. Some

individuals may have difficulties with healing, particularly from emotional scars. A lost sense of self, personal disappointments and a feeling of underestimating one's talents may be an issue. It's important to stay in flow and avoid swimming upstream! Overall, the planetary aspects are great! If things have been going bad for you, this can be a catalyst, and a pivotal turning point in your life. Due to the aspects, it is very likely that the metamorphosis is for the better. 

Although, the planetary aspects discussed in this article are universal in nature and based on the fact that the universe, as a whole, is greater than the sum of it's parts. Therefore, we as individuals make up the Universal whole and our actions and reactions are of great significance. This is why it is very important to remain positive. Realize that the Universe impacts individuals in different & unique ways according to their personal birth chart.

15+ Cost Cutting Ideas for Thanksgiving Dinner AND How to Prepare a Thanksgiving Dinner for Less Than $80!

15 Ways to Cut Costs on Thanksgiving Dinner &
This post contains a link to show you how to prepare a Thanksgiving Dinner for Under $80! 
 

Read On....

1). Take inventory! Before you leave the house, check and double-check your cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, freezer,  and anyplace you store food. Don't forget the spice rack and the liquor cabinet. You may have forgotten that you already had at item hiding behind an old cereal box. This will eliminate the aggravation of purchasing an item twice. 

2). Make a List - It avoids the time-eater of back-tracking to the store for a forgotten item. 

3). Check Out Low-Cost Produce Stands. Some farmers markets
are pricey, but if you scour around, you will find a market that's willing to beat the price of the local grocers. Check all products for freshness and wash produce thoroughly. 

 4). Stuffing - If you have adequate spices and some bread laying around the house, you can make your own stuffing using a variety of different methods. Poultry Seasoning provides an excellent flavor, especially if you are shorthanded on other flavorings. Adding ground pork, ground turkey, bacon, bacon bits, chicken/turkey broth, apples, cranberries, minced carrots, minced celery, and orange zest, are all items you can use to enhance the flavor of your stuffing. 

5). Combine ingredients w/ multiple recipes - Once you have stocked your kitchen with all the basics; try to re-use similar items
in all of your dishes. Trim off a section of some of the

fruits & veggies from your side dishes and use it for the stuffing. If you are baking an apple pie, you dice up part of the raw apple that you are Not using in the pie, and an use it in the stuffing. Or, if you make candied sweet potatoes, you can mash up the remaining sweet potato and combine it into your pumpkin pie to make a delicious pumpkin sweet potato pie. You can also combine it with baked apples, carrots, or cranberries. Use your creativity! Be sure the ratio's are the consistent. For example, candied sweet potatoes add more moisture and sweetness to any dish, therefore, you will need to omit some of the sugar in the recipe. Try to salvage any leftover ingredients and combine it with items you already have on hand. 

 6). Stick to "The List" - Once you've prepared your shopping list, stick to it.  It is easy to get trapped into picking up things that you didn't intend to buy. Also, your shopping list helps to avoid impulse buying.


7). Adjust your thermostat- While using the oven or multiple burners on the stovetop, adjust the themostat accordingly ahead of time to save a few $$$ on your enegy bill. Just remember to set it back when you're guests arrive so that they remain comfortable.


 8). Stay with Tradition - While steak may sound great, the price adds up. In some grocery stores, you can get a free turkey after spending a certain amount money in that particular store or chain.

9) What if pork or ham is cheaper than the turkey? 
     ** See Below

10). Size it Up! If you are purchasing a turkey, veggies and side dishes; size up the number of people to the pounds of turkey and the overall serving portions. You won't need a 26 pound turkey for a party of 6. Most recipes and store bought items will give you a

serving size. Go with the one that gives you the best bang for your buck! Again, you may be able to (a). combine ingredients or (b). add in the remaining ingredients from another dish you are preparing to stretch the recipe! Think about flavors that enhance each other while you are doing this. If you are uncertain, stick with the standard recipe.

11). Ask your guests to bring a Dish - Along with your Happy

Holiday invitation, email a list of all the items that you are planning to prepare. Let them know that you would be grateful if they could bring a dish. Even if you don't ask them directly, let people know what  items you are making.  Most people will offer to bring at least one dish, if Not 2 or 3! Enjoy the Feast! 

12). Back to Basics -- If you can't get the "free" turkey, consider buying a basic turkey that hasn't been injected with artificial flavorings. If you have the basics including chicken/poultry stock, poultry seasoning and a few other other herbs and spices, you can save yourself a lot of money by seasoning the turkey yourself. If you are in a pinch;

salt, pepper, onion powder (or diced onion) and chicken stock is all you really need. A little celery goes a long way as well! Think like a Pilgrim and make do with what you've got!
  
13). Use Coupons & Circulars Carefully - Only use coupons and discounted items advertised in the store circulars for items that you already have on your shopping list, (with one exception), it's a much needed item that you forgot about. Put a check next to the items on your shopping list that are on sale and the letter "C" next to the coupon items. Put the coupons in your wallet so you don't forget them!

 14). Call a Friend - Oh No!..You just ran out of butter for the mashed potatoes and you also forgot the "Special" Wine for Aunt Suzie. The guests will be arriving in an hour. You have yet to

shower, you're still wrapping up the crescent rolls and you still have some "touch-up" cleaning to do before the guests arrive. There is No Time to run to the store!   Call a neighbor, friend, family member or guest on their way to your Holiday Bash! If all else fails, get yourself ready, put the last finishing touches on the house, and set the table. Don't let the one missing item spoil your holiday. When the guests arrive, smile and have confidence. After all, you worked hard to prepare for this event.

**  What if pork or ham is cheaper than the turkey? Roast beef, honey baked ham and pork loin are all options. However, different types of meat will require a different set of side dishes which may

take away from the "traditional" Thanksgiving theme. Therefore, it's a good idea to run the idea past your guests first. While most folks prefer turkey, graving, stuffing and mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving; if you're really on a budget, you can always prepare a barbeque chicken, or bbq pork on the grill. You can add some corn on the cob, baked beans, potato salad, etc. If you live in a warm climate, you can also provide some comfortable outdoor seating, or borrow some comfy chairs from a friend or neighbor. This could be a cost effective way of enjoying your holiday.

Grounding is Key; Planetary Changes are Happening!

The Sun is in "Optimistic" Sagittarius & the Moon is in "Animated" Leo. Both are Fire signs, giving you a burst of inspiration & invigorating your imagination. However, the outer planets, Neptune & Saturn are putting a damper on the blaze.
As a result of the planetary interactions, you may find your life taking on a more serious tone in the weeks and months ahead. Why?

After a weekend of the Love Planet, Venus, in "Cautious" Capricorn waging war with the Sun in "Adventurous" Sagittarius; Now, the Moon in "Playful" Leo challenges "Restrictive" Saturn in "No-Nonsense" Capricorn. Moreover, the Sun in "free-spirited" Sagittarius takes-on "Disillusioned" Neptune in "Imaginative" Pisces.   

As the planets hash it out, the universe is sprinkling a pixie dust of uncertainty.You may be feeling tired and your creativity may be blocked. Be wary of deceptive energy under this influence. It's hard

to separate honest mistakes from mere confusions, but when in doubt, it's probably best not to follow-up and fix things right now. It's easy for everyone to get into a tangle over unsubstantial claims and misconceptions that waste time and energy, so let it lie and don't make moves -- you want to be on a solid foot. It's Not a good idea to ruffle the feathers of authority figures today or Monday, November 24th, as the Moon shifts into "Practical" Virgo (joining Venus, Saturn & Pluto in the "Earth" Signs).

Also, on Monday, the "Efficient" Virgo Moon confronts the "Adventurous" Sagittarius Sun and "Dreamy" Neptune in "Artistic" Pisces. All around, the universe is bringing our focus back to mother earth and practical matters. Financial planning,

career and stability in your home-life are high on the agenda.  If you play music, paint or write poetry,  you may be feeling a block in your normal routine, however now may be a good time to come up with something unusual or obscure. Abstract art, deep harmonic symphonies or paintings of forests with lots of depth are prime examples. Additionally, it's a good time to jot things down about your financial portfolio and career...A to-do list may be in order.  

The Good New is that Tuesday & Wednesday are looking brighter....more on that coming up along with the Thanksgiving Day forecast! Stay Tuned!

Saturday Night Forcast; Reignite Your Passions!

The "Passionate" Leo Moon joins "Innovative" Uranus in "Courageous" Aries. Both fire signs, you may step into your power and break new ground with cutting edge ideas. Your love-life may get a zest of new energy with a renewed sense of love and devotion. You may  re-unite with an old flame or begin anew! Complimenting this spark of inspirational energy; the Love-Planet Venus in "Dedicated" Capricorn burrows into "Safety-net" Saturn in "Unstoppable" Scorpio. Intimate encounters may have a prolific impact and take you to tantalizing satisfaction. Tantric, Kundalini and spiritual experiences are enhanced. Although, the factor of personal and long-term security still prevails, you can begin to step forward inspired with confidence, ingenuity and reignite your passions. The little things in life can be the most satisfying, and, when closely viewed, often loom larger than they really are. Simple desires have a way of sustaining life that allows both joy and unhindered progress. Endeavors begun now can share that quality as they develop, quenching your thirst, banking your fires. Overall, this is a great time for bounding into unexplored territory. If you are in touch with your inner spirit, you should begin

to feel a shift in consciousness. What may have worked in the past is Not working Now. You will become steadfast in your sentiments. A heartfelt desire to revamp an existing situation or head down a new, exciting and invigorating path will lead you to a happier life and a renewed sense of optimism!

Moon Enters Leo; the Sun is in Sagittarius - The Heat is On!

The "Nurturing" Cancer Moon joins Mars in "Practical Virgo allowing you to apply intuition with pragmatic planning - one step at a time. A fine attention to detail will be the general spirit of things, and if you join in it can get you into situations that have staying power.  Let
the general pace set yours and go with the flow. This evening, the Moon enters "Romantic" Leo adding pizzazz to any event or romantic interlude. Whether you decide to pair up with some friends or a romantic partner, or go solo; there are things you can do to harness this universal energy and lift your spirits. Going  to places with an artsy appeal such as an art gallery or a place with lots of artifacts around the room stimulate the mind for creativity & inspire you and those around you to open up. Catching the latest play at a theater or a set of some live music can bring about some jovial conversation.

If your looking to relax and have some intimate conversation, going to see some live jazz and a candlelit dinner may make your night!  Later this evening, around 8 pm, the "Dramatic" Leo Moon snuggles up to the Sun in "Sociable" Sagittarius.  Contacts made now will serve you well. A flair of creativity, optimism and communication is in the air.  If it feels right, it probably is, so put your best foot forward.

Challenges in your Love-Life? VENUS SQAURES THE SUN!

Expect some turbulence in your love-life over the next few days as Venus in "Conservative" Capricorn battles the Sun in "Free-Spirited" Sagittarius, now thru Friday, November 23rd.  After a few days of power-struggles, inner turmoil and a test-of-wills, Venus in "Stability-Driven" Capricorn  joins forces with "Serious" Saturn in "Relentless" Scorpio on the eve of November 23 thru Saturday, Nov. 24th. The Venus-Saturn combo is grounding your energy and helping you to strive for rock-solid stability in your life. A focus on the actions of your past and where you stand now may weigh heavily on the mind. A critique of your life history, intimate relationships, career and financial issues may bring you to an awakening moment. You may experience some frustration or

disappointment. If you are in tune with your guides, many of you will realize that something has to change in your life. Just as the trees loose their leaves and prepare for winter; Endings, as well as, new beginnings may be upon you. What is no longer of use to you may be cast to the wayside. 

Saturn in the sign of Scorpio purges every crack and crevice and purges out the negative energy. Areas of your life that are in disarray will be brought light. Mars in the "earth" sign of "hard-working" Virgo encourages you to do whatever it takes to get certain areas of your life back on track. 

The Sun, now in Sagittarius gives you the the motivation and exuberance you need to look toward greener pastures in love, romance and monetary issues. Expanding your ideas about travel, freedom, higher education and spirituality are hot topics over the next month. Expect candid conversation as as Sagittarius energy tends to encourage people to speak their minds to the point that you may find yourself or those around you being honest to a fault......Opps, did I just say that? However, Sagittarius brings about an a positive, optimistic and enthusiasm that can lighten things up. A good laugh here is needed as the planetary alignment and influential zodiac signs, especially in regards to Saturn,  are bringing a doom and gloom, no-nonsense cut-throat approach to the table.

Expect a little sizzle late Saturday night! The Moon in "frisky" Leo teams up with Venus in Capricorn. You may find yourself drawn to people in power or leadership roles. Monetary gains through partnerships will appeal to your inner drive for security. 

I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy? Catch the Spirit of that Gemini Energy!

The Moon in "Clever & Quick-Witted" Gemini today is prepping your intellectual think-tank and helping you talk your way in and out of most anything.  Action Oriented Mars in "hard-working" Virgo teams up with "Expansive Jupiter in Nurturing Cancer. Action combined with intuition should help you execute your daily activities and get things accomplished. Cruise control is the key to forward motion. Remember, to stay in flow.  When operations are well-tuned, you can afford to be on automatic along with the rest of the world. Later, the "Savvy" Gemini Moon Squares Mars in "Detailed-Orientated" Virgo, so you may experience some issues that seem like mind-boggling crossword puzzles. Have no fear. It's Nothing a Gemini can't figure out....Go within and harness the energy of that "Clever Minded" Gemini Moon and you'll be out of any predicaments in no-time! Moreover,  the turbulence created by the Moon/Mars transit is temporary, and much shorter than the positive aspect between Mars and Jupiter. Use that to your advantage. Be sure to write everything down to keep your ideas flowing and your daily activities in full swing!

Wishing You a Festive Fall Season!

5 Places to Meet a Partner; How to Meet the Love of your Life Series: Part One

Meeting the Love of your life and finding the right match can change your life forever. Many people can easily find people that they are attracted to, but finding a life partner or soul mate brings about an entirely different spectrum of issues. Connecting on the mental, physical and astral planes are vital to lifelong success in a relationship. There is much more to come, but I will begin by giving you 5 places to meet the Love of Your Life:

1) Bookstores - Many bookstores these days have places where you can snuggle up and read a book offer tables & chairs so you can hang around. Many offer your, hot chocolate, coffee, your favorite latte's, herbal teas and an assortment of delicious treats. As you prick your brain in the passages of a book or two,  your mind will be chock full of things to talk about. If you happen to meet someone, you immediately have something in common  - You both like to read!This creates intellectual stimulation and enticing conversation inspiring both of you. Why? Both of you are intrigued with gaining knowledge and since your already talking, you are both share the common goal of meeting someone new.  The books you are reading will be a great conversation starter for topics to talk about.  Conversation can be stimulating and inspired by what you are reading about, even if you are reading about two different subjects - that just gives you all the more reason for a chat.

2). Photography Club - Everybody loves pictures. The internet has taken photography to a new level. Any pictures you post of you and your friends will get you noticed and you may just meet a significant other in the photography club who can teach you some photography or photo editing tips. You can also create a photo album and whenever you are in the company of friends, you can whip out your photo album and "ta-da,"  you have a conversation piece waiting and ready to go!

3). Wine Tasting - This is centered around socializing and discussion. It's a great meet and greet kind of atmosphere. Typically these people like to network and have other groups they are involved in.

4). Charity Events - In most cases, if a person has enough compassion in their hearts to help others, then it is likely that they will be a good quality person. While all the people you meet at a charity function may not be perfect, you can bet you'll get more responsible and sensible people there than you can find at the local watering hole! 

5). Heath Food Stores - Depending on where you live, you are likely to find some "we care" type of people in a health food store who enjoys browsing the various items as much as you do. There are usually free circulars around the register or the front door. These magazine/circulars oftentimes include articles about proper diet and health in addition to a list of local activities in your area. Check it out! You may find something that interests you and that leads you right into your lovers arms!

Changes in Love; Imagination Soars; Ideas about Spirituality, Travel and Education are on the upswing!

A dreamy state of affairs marks the surroundings and your imagination may be at it's peak performance. The Moon in "Perceptive" Pisces joins both  Mercury in "Insightful" Scorpio & Neptune in "Intuitive" Pisces. Fantasy, imagination, writing, poetry and oral communication come with ease now. Venus in "Sensible" Capricorn aligns with Pluto in Capricorn, allowing for transitions and change in terms of love and money. The "Nurturing" Pisces Moon aligns with "Disciplined" Saturn in "Resourceful" Scorpio, thereby enhancing love and intimacy with a traditional flair. A suitable partner with stability and longevity will be more attractive than a fling.  Both the Moon and Neptune are in Pisces and Mercury is in Scorpio, all highly intuitive and creative water signs. Transcendental meditation, tantric sexual experiences, kundalini are all possible under this influence, along with speculation, hopefulness, spirituality and prayer.Late tonight, you may be awoken by a nightmare or experience some restless sleep. The "Sensitive" Pisces Moon Opposes Action-Orientated Mars in "Detailed-Orientated" Virgo.  You may find yourself fretting over missed details or trying to remember if you dotted all your i's and crossed all of your t's. The Good News is by that by morning, November 12th, the Moon forms a positive alliance with the Sun in "Powerful" Scorpio, shining a ray of hope and illuminating your path. The Sun aligns with "The Great Benefic," Jupiter bringing luck to all that you do, as well as, helping you develop philosophical ideas, spiritual ideals, values, morals, and adding travel plans and educational goals to your agenda.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle: How does it Impact YOU!

The best-laid plans for self-promotion over the last 3 weeks may have been getting entangled due to Mercury in Retrograde. But the winds of change are on the upswing. 

Since this Mercury Retrograde cycle has been in the sign of Scorpio, a lot energy attention may have been on the past. Emotions flew to high peaks and thoughts burrowed deep into the subconscious mind. Sexuality may have been prominent, but simultaneously there may have been some issues causing some heartache. The Sun and Saturn were also in Scorpio, intensifying the energy. Sexual energy may have increased but simultaneously issues arose and perhaps restrictions of sorts became problematic. It is possible that you experienced an all or nothing approach to life, by you or someone around you. Finally, you may have experienced an ending of sorts: in a job, a relationship(s), or even a death of a close friend or family member. Additionally, you may have also experienced a new beginning such as a new job, a new relationship or even a birth of a child from you or someone you know. This retrograde cycle has been about clearing the slate and beginning anew. 

If you experienced a wake-up call over the last month involving a person, place or group; it's very important now, more than ever before, to move forward with new plans and new beginnings.  Otherwise you are blocking the universal flow of energy that is helping you to your next stage and new chapter in Your life!!! 

 Mercury turned Stationary Direct on November 10th. Today, on  November 11th, we are now experiencing the "Shadow Period." This marks the stage we are encouraged to acknowledge the consequences of past due to our own actions or our affiliation with others. It's a time of recognition and renewal. It's about death and rebirth. If you swim against the tide, you will get sucked in and drown at sea. The same principle applies to your everyday life - your home-life, job, relationships with your friends, family & significant other and how you act and react to the people and the world around you.  If you continue to stay in harmful & toxic relationships, friendships or dead end situations, you will only perpetuate emotional pain and prevent personal self growth, self fufillment and higher achievement. To stay stuck in a cycle of reliving the past or going in circles is sort of like a puppy dog chasing it's own tail. 

Correcting misconceptions about yourself is an important task to undertake, as you can't benefit if others don't really know where you're at. That especially applies where you are trying to nurture valuable connections that will buoy you up in weeks and months to come.  Clearing up confusion clears the skies so you can set sail on calm waters.  November 27th marks end of the Mercury Retrograde Cycle. 

YES!

Sun Joins Lord Saturn in Capricorn; Moon aligns with Venus!

If everyone is "getting-down-to-business" and taking things very seriously, there may be a reason for it. The Sun In "Resourceful" Scorpio Joins "Restrictive" Saturn in "Disciplined" Capricorn. The Moon, also in the Ambitious sign of Capricorn, makes allies with Venus, in "Studious" Capricorn also. Capricorn encourages ambition, dedication, hard-work,  structure, financial planning, stability and building a firm foundation. Your financial portfolio, career, education and love-life will be paramount. The New Moon and Solar Eclipse on Sunday, November 1rst, set the stage for endings and new beginnings.   The Sun in Scorpio casts light on events, situations and people that may no longer serve us. Combine w/ Saturn, a no-nonsense approach is in order.  Monkey business, clown acts and shenanigans will no longer be tolerated. Life will have a new

meaning to it and whatever mistakes you have made in the past, a strong desire to repair it or leave it behind is eminent. You will want to move forward to higher ground. It's possible that some self-limiting beliefs or limitations may have been imposed upon by "the-powers-that-be" Don't allow obstacles or challenges or weigh you down. Through self-discipline and perseverance, you can accomplish your goals. Commitments made now will hang around for a longtime, so choose with care.

 Countdown to Thanksgiving: 22 Days!

Venus Enters Capricorn; What's coming up for the weeks and months ahead?

Venus enters "True-&-Steadfast" Capricorn today, and will remain there thru March 5th. This 4 month transit is longer than usual, so there will be a lot of emphasis on money and security. Your love-life will take on a serious tone. A partner that represents security, both financially and on an emotional level will be appealing during this transit. Frivolous encounters and superficial people may be dropped out of your life. Mars is in "Practical" Virgo placing both Mars and Venus in "Earth" signs. Your tastes about everything from decor in your house to friendships and a romantic partner will be more discriminating. Taking new approaches to your financial portfolio, as well as, work, building a solid career or going back to school may be on the agenda. Your values may be more traditional and less flamboyant.  The serious tone delivered by Mars and Venus in earth signs, along with the Sun, Mercury and Saturn currently in the sign of "Depth-Probing" Scorpio, can bring about powerful & enduring transformations. People who interfere or hinder with your life ambitions may be cut out of your life altogether. You may be more resourceful than usual.

Jupiter, now in "Nurturing" Cancer places our efforts on the domestic scene. Taking care of the sick, having a baby, or buying a home may be on the vision board. Expansion of thy self, spirituality, artistic expression, career, and higher education or vocational training come to the forefront. An emphasis on family, trustworthy & reliable friends and situations that have the potential for longevity will be attractive at the soul level.
