Sun in Sagittarius opposition retrograde Mars in Gemini 8th December 2022

The Sun at 16 degrees 6 minutes Sagittarius is opposition retrograde Mars at 16 degrees 6 minutes Gemini at 5.42 am GMT.

What has accomplished with physical exertion could become partially or completely undone, depending on how quickly you respond. Trying to do too much during this transit will lead to exhaustion and feeling frazzled. It’s better to concentrate on reaching one target rather than do as much as you can in a short amount of time, otherwise you will be wasting your time and energy. Being assertive may stir up opposition from those who don’t take kindly to you making your presence felt. Pushing back against that reaction is what should be done, but going too far may cause a confrontation.

Big plans can be created, but getting organised to bring them into reality is another matter entirely. There is a lot of talking but not a lot of doing. Falling into the trap of thinking everything will sort itself out won’t provide success. Those who want to preach their beliefs may be confronted by those who disagree with them. If direct questions are asked that don’t have a clear answer there is a lack of faith in the response that is given. Exaggeration happens more often and when an accurate account of events is requested, it will be blunt and direct.

Imbalances based on gender will have to be addressed. Not much will be done about them though; there could be more talk than action. Disagreements are accepted but full-on arguments are not. A battle of the sexes probably won’t happen, but a few home truths will be uncomfortable. Impulsive urges to spend money are affected by nervousness about what has to be done to replace the funds that have already been used. Buy now and pay later will be trickier than you think. Blind optimism that money will be found from somewhere, especially in the short-term from friends or partners can’t be relied upon.

Giving honest opinions and telling people what you think of them has a high chance of causing disagreements. To get yourself out of trouble a lot of energy will have to be used to think and talk your way out of it. Dominating discussions is not the way forward if you want them to be constructive. Also, it’s not enough to believe you have the correct information before the start of a debate. Step back and check it’s accurate before you speak up. Generally, it’s wise to pause before you speak to give yourself a chance to avoid saying something you will regret in the not-too-distant future.

Retrograde Mars in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aquarius 28th November 2022

Retrograde Mars at 19 degrees 43 minutes Gemini is sextile Saturn at 19 degrees 43 minutes Aquarius at 5.58 pm GMT 28th November 2022.

Keep enough energy in reserve to plan and carry out tasks to the point of completion. Try to maintain a steady pace, even if there are plenty of directions you have to go to simultaneously. This is because you may have to retrace your steps and you don’t want to lose track of where you got to. Patience can definitely be used to your advantage. If you’re clever and crafty without being malicious a lot can be achieved. The courage to show your individuality instead of following the crowd could earn the respect of those in authority or who are older and have more life experience than you.

The Sun at 28 degrees 49 minutes Scorpio is trine retrograde Jupiter at 28 degrees 49 minutes Pisces at 4.06 am GMT 21st November 2022.

Sticking to your own beliefs instead of being persuaded to go along with what others believe, will give you strength. Personal judgement is less forgiving, but not with nasty intentions. This has the purpose to filter out those who are deserving of your benevolence from those who are not. You could find that you are in the right place at the right time. If good fortune happens to fall “onto your lap” it’s best to keep it to yourself, rather than brag about it. Those who are deserving of good karma could find it occurs during this transit, especially if they have recently gone through tough times.

Retrograde Mars at 22 degrees 42 minutes Gemini is square retrograde Neptune at 22 degrees 42 minutes Pisces at 3.32 pm GMT 19th November 2022.

General activity is hindered or restrained for reasons that are hard to make sense of. Alternating between assertiveness and apathy will make it difficult to get anything done. Levels of incompetence are raised and there are more incidents of pushing the blame on others, instead of accepting responsibility for what has been done and the failure associated with it. Cautio is advised when making promises to take action to help those who are vulnerable or in need of assistance. These can be unrealistic to put into motion, or even outright lies to give the impression that help is on its way when that isn’t the case at all. Mechanical breakdowns happen more often during this transit too, so prepare to repair.

Studying a subject in depth that you feel emotionally connected to and possibly passionate about can reveal a wealth of knowledge that is inspiring. There is a lot that can be learned with little effort. Judicial reviews that cover details which have been missed may offer enlightening insights into what should already have been known. Detective work is also favoured during this transit. If a softer approach is taken with taboo subjects, empathy will go a long way.

Venus at 28 degrees 56 minutes Scorpio is trine retrograde Jupiter at 28 degrees 56 minutes Pisces at 9.37 am GMT 15th November 2022.

Accept no compromises with choices that are made about finances and what you need to be materialistically comfortable. Emotional blackmail and demands for money for what are portrayed to be good causes won’t succeed. Spending as a form of escapism is reined in, which creates more resources for what you really want. Dream big by all means, but don’t invest in it just yet. Taking a look at where money has been wasted under the belief it can be easily replaced should be misplaced but could actually happen.

Venus in Scorpio square Saturn in Aquarius 7th November 2022

Venus at 18 degrees 47 minutes Scorpio is square Saturn at 18 degrees 47 minutes Aquarius at 7.34 am GMT 7th November 2022.

Relating to people is inhibited during this transit if their values appear to be at odds with yours. Those who push against the conventions of traditional authority for the sake of it, won’t get much support from you if you can’t see the reason for it. The disruption caused won’t be appreciated by you at all. In relationships, there may be a shift in how responsibilities are accepted. If too many compromises have been made this will need to be addressed to stabilize the relationship. Prepare for “tightening your belt” where finances are concerned. Demands for payment could arrive “out of the blue”, so it will be necessary to find out what you really want and need and plan accordingly.
