Starcodes week of November 29 – December 5, 2024
Go deep or go home, storm the bastille, or tell old stories late into the night; find productive ways to accommodate a range of feelings, attitudes, people, and opinions without enabling difficult people or dangerous attitudes. A moody Scorpio Moon lingers through Friday and can bring out our difficult streak, or deep connection.
It’s wonderful if we can sit around with our beloveds and solve the world’s problems together. But we could be tempted to say outrageous things just to stir the pot. With Mercury now retrograde, we’ll regret that late. Remember the three key questions before speaking in Sagittarius season- if it’s true, necessary, and kind, speak up. Otherwise, take a walk.
We could feel ambiguous about socializing. We can paradoxically need a moment alone but feel put out if ignored. Mars now in Leo amps up our need for attention, while Venus in Capricorn and the Moon in Scorpio on Friday call for time within, which leaves us torn between the need for quiet and for connection. Make connection optional and take everybody’s drama with the grain of salt.
Lean into the Sagittarius qualities and philosophize together, take walks, play, commune with pets and with the natural world. Get everybody walking on a path in the same direction- literally- through the woods or down the street, and our hearts can take the hint.
On Saturday, the waning Moon enters Sagittarius and enlivens that peripatetic energy. It also helps us travel even with a retrograde retrograde Mercury, though we still need to pay extra attention to odd technical snafus, schedule changes, or other drivers who are not paying attention.
The new Moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, echoed by a Mercury- Sun conjunction next Thursday, asks us to look at a truth, speak our truth, and accept some new levels of reality. Our responsibility is to look deeper and honor the complexity of truth that really considers all factors, make sure that that it is real, necessary, and good for all sentient beings.
On Tuesday, Venus trines Uranus and opens us up for something new, new connections or aesthetics. Let’s just make sure it’s wise as well as new. The Moon enters competent Capricorn and allows us to get down to work in a good way.
The week ends in a possibly collaborative, but potentially worrisome Aquarius Moon- with the Sun square Saturn- where may may become very aware of the shifting dynamics of our country and need to have faith that it is in flux, that some of the wonderful efforts we’ve put into motion can take us forward.
Friday, November 29: This can be a friendly morning as long as we keep the agenda light and let no one feel cornered while the Scorpio Moon sextiles Venus and opposes Uranus. Let people move at their own pace and to their level of connection. Crowds can be truly annoying though, so shop this Black Friday with care. Afternoon calls for a change of scene or to deal with an unexpected challenge. Tonight, the Moon trines Neptune and brings a perfect movie night or one to curl up with a good book, something soft and gentle.
Moon sextile Venus 11:50 AM, Moon opposed Uranus 6:32 PM, Moon trine Neptune 11:18 PM.
Saturday, November 30: The conversation loosens today as the Moon enters Sagittarius this morning, we can tell old stories and hear them in a different light. Get outside; Sagittarius energy loves movement. We have access to being more open hearted but less willing to put up with what’s not working as the Moon enters Sagittarius this morning. We can hear new layers of the truth if we make it safe for people open up, even if we disagree.
Moon enters Sagittarius at 4:52 AM, Moon sextile Pluto 5:17 AM, Moon trine Mars 4:23 PM, Moon conjunct the Sun 11:21 PM.
Sunday, December 1: A new Moon in Sagittarius calls for new beginnings, it helps us travel, putter, or meander and come back to ourselves. We can ask what makes our world feel better and more expansive as a Sagittarius Moon opposed Jupiter this afternoon and conjuncts Mercury tonight. Engage a spacious healing conversation about ourselves or our world as mental Mercury trines Chiron. Just remember that unrequested advice is heard as criticism, which won’t work now.
Moon square Saturn 5:48 AM, Moon opposed Jupiter 1:44 PM, Moon conjunct Mercury 6:28 PM, Mercury square Chiron 11:16 PM.
Monday, December 2nd: Look at life with fresh eyes as Venus trines Uranus this morning and brings an existential and aesthetic restlessness. Pick up threads dropped before the holiday or deal with a short but intense agenda that needs attention now as the Moon heads into industrious Capricorn this afternoon. It’s essential that we work with the flow, unripe decisions will be short-lived.
Venus trine Uranus 7:42 AM, Moon square Neptune 8:46 AM, Moon enters Capricorn 2:06 PM.
Tuesday, December 3: Work will find us as the Capricorn Moon sextiles structural Saturn. Don’t worry about finishing, just work towards progress. If people feel inattentive, don’t take it personally; find out what they’ve got on their plate and what’s distracting them. With patience and curiosity, we can help one another.
Moon sextile Saturn 2:16 PM.
Wednesday, December 4: The truth shall set us free. That freedom might take us to another country, job, afternoon off, or an interesting solution as Mercury opposes Jupiter while the Sun squares Saturn. But we have to watch where the mind goes, we can say too much or think in circles, catastrophize or limit possibilities. Note an emotional response, but do not try to justify the feelings with theories about the future. Stay here. That Sun-Saturn square could ask us to deal with some serious new constraints or rules we’d rather not deal with but can also help us make our own rules and structure our own system. Watch for transportation difficulties.
Mercury opposed Jupiter 3:15 AM, Sun square Saturn 9:18 AM, Moon trine Uranus 4:00 AM, Venus sextile Neptune 11:51 AM, Moon sextile Neptune 4:09 PM, Moon conjunct Venus 4:33 PM, Moon enters Aquarius 9:20 PM, Moon conjunct Pluto 9:55 PM.
Thursday, December 5: It pays to exercise or work physically this potentially irritable morning as the Moon opposes Mars, be mindful but use any tail-twitching energy for good. We’re not objective today as the Sun and retrograde Mercury conjunct; we could get insightful flashes or crazy thoughts, and it may be hard to tell the difference. Listen to incoming information, but instead of reacting, put it on the table and sort it out later.
Moon opposed Mars 8:27 AM, Sun conjunct Mercury 7:17 PM, Moon sextile Mercury 10:55 PM, Moon sextile Sun 11:38 PM.
