Working Your Purpose
Stardrops November 26 2023
Mini blueprints and tasks make up the majority of our weeks’ responsibilities. In hindsight, we can look back and see how many of those seemingly insignificant tasks actually nurtured and contributed to realizing our Life Purpose or Major Blueprint. We have a packed next few weeks ahead with our usual daily planetary movements, and a Full Moon and a Mercury retrograde coming up to examine, and it is this very Mercury retrograde we’re entering into now, that is one of those key mini purposes, so let’s get going!
Nov 26-27 Mercury square Neptune
For the next few days, Mercury’s helpful insights inspire thoughts of improvement in your life. Take a look at the things you are not happy with, and plan a strategy to address these things now. Mercury confronts Neptunian neglect, avoidance and denial. It inspires us to tackle the overwhelm we mighty have been in for a while. Issues which have been confusing to us, as to how to go about handling them, can finally be addressed.
Nov 28 Venus conjoin South Node
Bringing beauty and friendships back into high focus on this day, is a nice break from so much stressful work! Take advantage of this time and reach out and connect with others in an authentic way.
Nov 29 Sun inconjunct Jupiter
Our Sun is in the sign of Sagittarius, the sign of wisdom, expansion, enthusiastic visions we want to pursue, yet there might be some inconveniences standing in our way of bringing strong insights into practical reality. The inconvenience comes through possibly seeing what needs to be done but the tasks is daunting. A disconnect between what we need to do and what we believe will be good for us, versus some resistance. Are we experiencing it within ourselves as in procrastination or is it coming from conflict between the inspiration versus other things getting in the way? My solution to inconjuncts is to take one task and get it out of the way, then switch to the other task…the two activities don’t usually blend, don’t mix, and we need to handle both independently.
Nov 30 Mercury semi-square Pluto
A day of progress yet the semi-square prompts us to take care of a small irritant. We’ll want to get that out of the way.
Nov 30 Venus inconjunct Neptune
Values and priorities, what we treasure and place importance upon is what Venus reminds us to reflect upon. This Venus however, is inconjunct (inongruent) with a strange energy. Neptune in Pisces Inconjunct Venus might be a situation, a person which projects conditions onto us which might cause us to feel obliged to comply. Is it true or just a projection? Caution required this day to not act unnecessarily to something which might have been dealt with in a better way.
Mercury Retrograde at 8* Capricorn December 13, 2023
Dec 1 – Dec 13 Mercury enters Capricorn and sextiles Saturn, in Pisces, sextiles Venus in Scorpio, and trine Jupiter in Taurus
The theme of this Mercury retro seems to be concentrating upon achieving something important. Accomplishing an end goal. Whether it is a professional event or personal need, this cycle inspires discipline to map out, focus, implement the plan and then do it!
Now up through December, we can become very focused upon achieving something we truly care about. As usual, Mercury releases a desire mixed with a concept or insight into the why and how we are to achieve this thing. It leaves us with a feeling, that it has to be done if we are to be aligned with our timeline. Each Mercury retrograde period can do this for us. Some are vague, some are crystal clear. I have a sense this one now, is extremely specific. It’s the primary inspiration which keeps nagging you.
It would be the need of the hour, the task at hand. It brings positive outcomes. Our minds are sharp, attentive and the goal we see never leaves our thoughts until we engage and do it. It shouldn’t be something you mentally search for, but should just naturally comes to you throughout the days as something you’re feeling the prompting to do. Mercury is our Messenger, and it is extremely close and strong just before and as it turns Retrograde.
As it moves through Capricorn in December, it will trine Jupiter which is very good. This aspect especially around the dates of December 7 and December 18, then a third time, January 19th.brings an expansive sensation and can assist you with abundance, security and an increase of self worth and accomplishing your goal. Practical work, organizing material, concentration upon many levels of projects or daily life can be accomplished.
The second major Mercury retro aspect is Mercury sextile Saturn in Pisces. This one creates happy collaborations with others where we feel their love and support, and for some, a professional camaraderie. It is a practical serious discussion which can be experienced with someone who sees you and gets it. The date for this helpful transit which helps get our powerful Mercury theme going will be December 1 – 3.
Also, Mercury sextiles Venus in Scorpio on December 10-12. Happy times with others, partnerships, harmony with your plans with others spread good cheer during this holiday season. With all of these nice aspects, some good news or achievement is occurring, plus new ideas inspire your heart. Much good work can be experienced now in anything you invest yourself in, relationships, a project, an event, your health and well being. You can feel a great sense of productivity.
Dec 1-4 Mars at 6* Sagittarius inconjunct Jupiter at 6* Taurus
During our Mercury retro period, Mars continues with its troublesome energies which relates to adrenal exhaustion and high stress levels. With regards to the world scene, It can instigate Martian battles between specific evolutions whether earth or space, inter dimensional or otherwise, who are hell bent on battling out their territorial claim on Earth’s resources. As we witness continual upheavals globally, an undercurrent of uncertainty for our personal wellbeing and future security can be felt. This stressful energy could spill into our bodies, so any de-stressing during this time period would be most helpful.
On December 1 -4, simply watch out for disruptions with your otherwise smooth plans. Travel might be a bit tricky, yet necessary. Flights delayed, weather issues or other inconveniences might be experienced.
The way out of Mars inconjuncts is to cover your bases, making sure you’re paying attention to the everyday needs, and please, drive carefully, keep an eye out for unexpected confrontations or easily triggered people. Stay out of arguments or attempting to press your opinion hard. It usually will end up badly. Brash, cavalier attitudes do not work during this cycle. Be conservative and self effacing, gracious and step out of the way of aggression.
These are not the best days for athletic, sports related activities if there is risk involved.
Dec 2 – 3 Venus 28* Libra square Pluto in Capricorn
Social stresses can occur where there are tasks and duties we might need to walk through for others, yet we’re not quite up to it, or in the mood. This quick cycle might create some tension in your social, relationship area of your life, so be on guard for hurt feelings, but also being too severe with your reactions towards another this day. Some setbacks might happen involving finances, or a social conflict with people/person where the social demands are not meshing with what you want to go through. It might result in a good decision you make for the future, as to what you do not want to deal with anymore.
Dec 4-5 Venus enters Scorpio and trines Saturn in Pisces
Venus in Scorpio opens the door for deeper feelings to be experienced within ourselves. As it moves into Scorpio it makes a strong positive tie to Saturn. A mature and realistic approach to the people in our lives is felt. Solid commitments, trustworthy alliances and support, this brings to certain areas of our life, balanced and reliable people. We can feel a greater sensibility within our connection with our family/work/friendships. It doesn’t matter if it’s your love life or a co-worker, or within family situations, this cycle helps realign people we are connected to, back to what really matters, and drop the difficult parts of a relationship. Cooperation, productivity, support and respect can come from a mutually aligned set of values and priorities you recognize with others during this time.
Dec 21 Mercury conjoins the Sun
A day of mentally energized, sharp and awake. Excellent for communicating your ideas, content writing, sending a message out or simply enjoying stimulating conversations, learning, or reading a great book! Our minds are incredibly busy during this period. Short trips, connecting with others, travel and some fun would be on the schedule.
Dec 27 Mercury conjoins Mars 25* Sagittarius and squares Neptune from December 27 – January 9, 2024 while Mercury turns Direct (comes out of retrograde) January 1 2024.
This is the 2nd part of the most helpful Mercury retro we’ll be experiencing all December. It is when Mercury begins to appear to slow down again and turn direct at 22* Sagittarius on the last week of December, through the 1st week of January 2024. What an amazing thing to have Mercury leave retrograde and move forward on New Years Day! It sets the Blueprint for the entire year of 2024!
I would love to go into this for 2024 Blueprint now, but if I do, I won’t get this article out today! We’ll cover this later.
Anyway, As Mercury conjoins Mars in Sagittarius, all the Sagittarians will receive an incredible boost of excitement to begin your New Year on fire for sure! For humanity, it will push people to break self limitation, blocks and old human habits of ancient programming, whether from world energies or our own ancestral patterns and upbringing. Mindsets which hold us back will be seen as unnecessary limitations and the power of Mars can infuse our Minds with the confidence to change for the better.
If ever there was a New Years’ resolution wave, this would be an Epic one! As these planets square Neptune, it simply is challenging the Neptunian misunderstandings, errors in our reality as we’ve known it. It causes us to challenge the false beliefs we’ve adopted over time. It’s a period of challenging these mindsets and busting through them to expand our unbelievable potential!
Because Mars/Mercury square Neptune holds this aspect for so long (up through January 9) a possibility of each of us confronting a more serious dysfunctional situation is likely. Whether it is personal challenges presented to us in the form of information we become aware of, or global events erupting, there is an ambiguous shady energy behind it. It’s not clear, illogical, does not compute. Something is off or suspiciously. we’re not getting the whole picture about something, pieces are left out leaving some confusion. There might be a need to address moral ethical subjects with another.
Possible energies attempting to ruin our enthusiasm for a great 2024 must be challenged and pushed back from our minds and feelings. And with all strong squares as this one is, we might expect some form of violent attack or event erupting somewhere, possibly in multiple places during this time. I would say, build your momentum of empowered action steps for reaching goals all December. Get your life beautifully in order this upcoming month and sail into 2024 with a determination to continue expanding your own personal Life Blueprint unfolding!
Full Moon in Gemini
From November 13th, I don’t know about you, but the Scorpio New Moon up to today has certainly sharpened my own awareness and vision as to how meticulous and vigilantly disciplined I need to be each day to take care of business It’s caused me to be more aware of my environment each day, the tasks at hand and how just a little bit of letting this or that slide could result in more work and frustrations for me the following days. The New Moon leading up to the November 27 Full Moon, has led me to a more thorough and deeper observation of everything around me. Now, I feel the fullness of this cycle helping me be more mindful and thorough with things.
Full Moons represent the culmination of a theme we’ve been in for the past few weeks. What has been the most recent themes and observations about your life lately?
Whatever it is, the 26th and 27th of November helps us to sit back and take it all in.
Also, Full Moon periods can last a few weeks up to the New Moon period and can manipulate the world by increasing emotionally charged negative actions. Because this one is in Gemini, it might involve communications, contracts, paperwork, decisions. Because Mars once again is closely involved in the Sun/Moon behaviors, aggression, arguments, disagreements, frustrations, antagonism and war-like energies are involved. So this could be just one more aggressive volatile period, a touchy easily triggered period of time we need to be aware of, globally and personally.
Look at all the highly volatile active Mars conjunctions since October 13/14th’s Solar Eclipse.
.October 14 Solar Eclipse Mars 1* Scorpio conjoin Moon,Sun,Mercury in late degree of Libra
Without going back into this aspect again from October’s Stardrops on Israel/Palestine’s event, this Mars attack was the start of a series of aggressions, triggering ancient animosity from those who brought war originally to Earth. And here we go again.
Lunar Eclipse October 28th Mars conjoin Mercury and Sun in Scorpio and oppose Moon in Taurus perpetuating aggression globally and high stress levels for humanity.
New Moon in Scorpio November 13th, Moon/Sun conjoin Mars, continuing the theme of serious tenacious focus each day in order to maintain functionality.
November 27, 2023 Full Moon in Gemini – Mars conjoins Sun in Sagittarius, and opposes Moon in Gemini. (shows Mars conjoin Sun once more, above)
This Full Moon can incite splits, disagreements, broken contracts, fights, polarizing mentally to the point of revenge, retaliation or threatening with disclosure with public figures and data dragged out from the past;
Since the Moon is in Gemini, there are strong mental energies coming to conclusions, opinions and hard judgments.
Issues pertaining to over expansion, conflicts with two factions, groups or positions can occur.
Polarizing over any subject or event, opinions need to be calmed down and tread lightly.
It could trigger seriously damaging information emerging on many levels into media sources. These pieces of data, verified could shift social opinions in a big way.
Splits can occur during this time, and might just be the culmination of a long time coming, where one finally comes to the decision, where they stand and accepting that standard as a value one can not compromise anymore.
Here is the Full Moon Chart for November 27, 2023
As you can see below in the next chart, the next New Moon and Full Moon, have Mars once again joining the Sun/Moon/Mercury positions attempting to perpetuate the themes of hostility and violence.
My reason for showing you the Mars moments was to reveal how we’re in an aggressively war-like energy from these several Mars’Moon events. The pattern breaks up after January 9 2024, with the Mars conjoin Mercury direct square Neptune aspect.
Putting our attention upon intolerance for anything but the loving potential for Aquarian Ideals of humanitarian care and support, safety and divine intelligent solutions, is one of the many new year blueprints we will adapt for our future.
Getting back to the Full Moon November 27…..
For this Full Moon in Gemini cycle, the positive energies would be anything involving educating people, coaching, teaching, seminars, events where higher learning is provided, could be an incredible period of expansion for the one giving the teaching and the students receiving. It is an excellent time to allow ourselves the step up of physical energy along with mental excitement towards the next few weeks of activities.
Personally we could learn something new during the next few days. The idea of breaking molds where our old patterns were never questioned within our own lifestyle, our outlook on life is so appealing to me. These old patterns, never questioned are now examined. The question as to “Why am I still thinking this way which is molding my everyday behavior?” could be asked.
Let’s make this a positive cycle to break our never thought of before bonds to limited beliefs, restrictions, opinions and judgments.
As Saturn squares the Full Moon in Gemini and the Sun/Mars in Sagittarius, it’s a perfect time to checkmate our Saturnian restrictions we’ve imposed upon ourselves.
Fear, doubt, the unknown concerns we have for our future, these are all Saturn in Pisces tendencies at this time.
No matter what your restriction, concern, sense of limitation, the “I can’t because….” syndrome, procrastination for whatever reason, say to yourself, “But what If I could?”
How I see it is the New Moon in Scorpio conjoined Mars instigated a concept or theme in which we desired to change, improve upon something personal. This improvement required deep probing and understanding, thoroughly as to how to go about this transformation. As we explored and allowed this new way to assimilate. , (It had to grow on us). The Full Moon should bring excitement and confidence to venture out and make this thing happen.
Let’s harness the power of this Full Moon for our ultimate freedom from old mindsets which we’ve outgrown and then project this positive belief of expanded positive solutions and limitless potential of growth, happiness and fulfilling accomplishments onto humanity.
Vondir, Christine
