Life is what Happens to you While you're makin' other plans...
It's a cold mornin' here in the Land of Buff... It is 30(f) degrees outside right now, but it feels a lot colder because my furnace finally quit... It's been on it's last legs for a while, but Mercury retrograde must of been the last straw for it... hehe... It is like I often say, the things that happen while Mercury is retrograde, are actually caused when Mercury is racing ahead of the Sun... Mercury retrograde is when we are supposed to go back and fix the things that actually broke over the past few weeks... Anyway, I knew the furnace was going to fail, and I somewhat prepared in advance for it.

The one part we cannot make plans in advance for is the current energy we are dealing with... If you look at the chart graphic below, you'll see all the planets are on one side of the chart and on one side of the solar system... (a radical imbalance)... But taking it even further, you'll see how the vast majority of the planets are connected to the North Node that is on the cusp of Leo.

The "North Node" is not really a planet, but more of a mathematical calculation of the Sun, Moon and Earth... Astrologers (me included) often look to this as is placement where Fate and Destiny are in play... It has that "Life Happens" kind of vibe where the universe tends to throw us a curve-ball when we expect it the least... The big difference between fate and destiny is that with fate, we as individuals are able to control the outcome... But (pointing to my butt)... hehe... Destiny is a force that happens regardless of how we may try to change the outcome.

In the case of my furnace, I have already called to make arrangements for a new one... But Destiny must have decided that it needed to happen sooner than we had planned for... You guys will find the same kind of scenario's playing out in your own life too... If you're smart, you'll get busy and handle all those issues you know need your attention... This isn't the time to put things off, so roll up the sleeves and get busy this week.

Now that Mercury is retrograde (until Dec 12th) this is when we need to be very careful regarding communication and transportation... It is about going the extra mile to make sure the things that you're hearing are the things being said and that the meaning is not somehow being misunderstood... The same thing applies to transportation too... Give yourself extra time to get to where you need to go in case there are unexpected delays... Be aware that this is when many make quick and impulsive decisions so care is needed when driving... You'll see some wacky moves in traffic... hehe...

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys in the daily 'scopes... Thanks for stoppin' by...!!

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The weekly horoscope for Taurus has the kind of energy that can cause you to second-guess yourself or face criticisms from others... That is exactly the purpose of this week's chart because it allows you to look back from a detached perspective (without judgment) and see what you could have done differently or better... The idea is to learn from the past, because new opportunities will begin to appear and this chart is helping you to make the most of them... Listen objectively to what others have to say, there is a lot that can be learned at this time.

...Show some Love...
