Here are some insights about the opportunities and challenges that this week’s astrology may offer. May they help you make the most of this moment. Should you want to see what the current planetary movements are catalyzing for you—what your here/now and near future may be inspiring—based upon your personal astrology chart, we can explore that in a Stellar Guidance Session. (See the section at the bottom for the special holiday program that I’m offering for my sessions.)
It seems like there’s a pivot point that occurs this week. Two planets get set to saunter out of Scorpio and gallop into Sagittarius: the Sun doing so mid-week and Mars just before the weekend. As such, it seems like we may find ourselves experiencing a tonal shift as the days progress: diving deep to suss out what’s shrouded beneath the surface evolves into accessing understanding through questing for a wide-angled, bird’s eye view vantage point that points us to the path we may want to take. It may also seem as if we can take the understandings that we’ve accessed through our feelings and have them further shape what we perceive to have veracity. While we may at first find ourselves keeping things under wraps, as the days unfold, we may instead find that we have begun to adopt an approach that’s more akin to “if you see something, say something.” Selective may make way for sanguine, demure for enthusiastic.
As both the Sun and Mars make a tense square to structured Saturn days after they enter Sagittarius, it feels important to remember the value of moving slowly and thoughtfully. Actions that are based upon tenets steeped in integrity will be rewarded more than those that are based upon impulse, impatience, and short-sighted vision. The past may be a resource for understanding the best path forward and we may further appreciate how time is an essential ingredient in any recipe.
Saturn prizes efficiency and shows us how sometimes that which is lean and limited has more impact than that which is long and lengthy. As such, I will end my reflections here, not adding more than seems necessary to share my reflections for the week.
That is, except for this: in this week of giving thanks, I want to once again express my gratitude to you, dear readers, for your encouragement and support of my work, and for the connection and community that this has fostered.
All my very best,
Stephanie

A Different Take on Black Friday (and Holiday Gifting in General)
I’ve decided to bring back a special offer that I had created a few years back, a way for you to give someone special a special gift while also contributing to a non-profit organization that helps others.
For any gift certificate for a Stellar Guidance Session purchased now through the end of December—which you can offer to another or even use for yourself—I will donate 10% of the proceeds to either Doctors Without Borders, World Central Kitchen, St. Jude’s Research Hospital, ACLU, or the ASPCA (you get to choose).
Email me to order a gift certificate (or several) or if you have any questions.
