Pluto in Capricorn

Uranus Direct
Thursday, November 27
The urges for change that have been muted during Uranus' 4-monthretrograde period are now ripe for external expression. The balancebetween the forces of fear and those of invention is shifting into aforward mode that invites innovation and discovery. Errors will be made,of course, but a willingness to experiment with new social forms andindividual expectations allows us to learn, adjust and keep on trying.

The New Moon in Scorpio compresses emotions and brings us back to thebasics of survival. It signals a need to recommit to relationships, work,friends, projects and family that really matter or face the changes thatare forced upon us. An honest inventory of needs and desires, however,will provide strength and a sense of purpose to handle any challenge.
