PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY November 20 2017 to November 26 2017 Monday November 20 Moon Melody More Sally Fisher Art here. People in politics talk about checks and balances. It's a concept that aims to prevent any one branch of government becoming so powerful that it can do what it wants with impunity. In many ways, astrology operates under a similar premise. There's usually a yin to each yang; a gritty astral Lennon to every sweet celestial McCartney. At the weekend, Mars' energy and Pluto's control were involved in a tense relationship. But the New Moon suggests this dynamic may have produced a melodic way to proceed. Tuesday November 21 Have No Fear More Sally Fisher Art here. Venus has become the latest celestial traveller to venture into Pluto's lair. Actually, she's been in Scorpio, the sign ruled by Pluto, for a while now. Today, though, it's as if she's being beckoned deeper into his cave. Despite the emotive language, it isn't quite as forebidding as it sounds! This alignment extends an encouraging invitation, rather than a risky foray. And although we may need to keep our hearts under control, there's no need to fear being manipulated. In fact, we needn't fear much of anything. Wednesday November 22 Mustang Saggy More Sally Fisher Art here. The Sun enters Sagittarius today. For centaurs, it heralds a return to form, and the chance to shake off a harness. For the rest of us, it's more like an opportunity to loosen a belt after a fine meal, without the slight regret that accompanies over-indulging. Not that we're familiar with such feelings, of course! And, even though we should all be feeling less restricted, we might not be quite ready to run free like mustangs on the prairie. But even taking tentative steps forward will take us into wide new pastures. Thursday November 23 Thank Your Lucky Stars More Sally Fisher Art here. It's Thanksgiving in the USA and, despite the commercial behemoth it has become, the principal of this holiday is well worth celebrating. Any opportunity to appreciate the spirit of thankfulness is one that's worth taking. Understanding and empathy are gifts to be shared today. And, as Neptune begins its journey forward, after ending its retrogradation yesterday, it will be easier to see other people's motives, and be more forgiving too. You can take steps towards clearer and brighter ways of communicating today. Friday November 24 Rock Stars More Sally Fisher Art here. This weekend Mercury, the planet of information, makes a harmonious link with Uranus. Revolutionary, iconoclastic Uranus is sometimes associated with Prometheus - the ancient deity who stole fire from the gods and gifted it to humankind. In many ways the planet fits with his attributes because it's often associated with an awakening. But Prometheus was chained to a rock and punished for his rebellion, whereas the changes on the horizon will be altogether more welcome - by all sides! Saturday November 25 Your Week Ahead More Sally Fisher Art here. Sometimes it seems as if Saturn is viewed as the cosmic big bad wolf. But life on planet Earth is more than just a fairytale, and this image is unfair. Even though there is something rather huffy and puffy about it, all modern wildlife managers understand that wolves are an essential part of many thriving ecosystems. After Mercury conjuncts Saturn this week, Venus moves into the same sector of the sky, and Mars opposes Uranus. That doesn't represent a fairytale existence, but it does hint at a happy ending to your week. Sunday November 26 Your Week Ahead - Love Focus More Sally Fisher Art here.
