 The week at a glance: All eyes are on the upcoming already highly contested election, which looks like it could be just as contested after the election as before!  Mercury is stationary in the heavens on election day, changing from retrograde to direct—the last election occurring when Mercury was stationary was 2000 and the hanging chad debacle. Mercury is also squaring (challenged by) extremist Pluto, restrictive Saturn, and exaggerating Jupiter. To add to the mire, Mars, (the path for clear action) is still retrograde for two more weeks, adding to the confusion this day suggests for the election—dang!

 The strength of democracy is based on one vote-one person, and the more people who vote, the clearer the outcome represents the true voice of the country. Fortunately, voter turnout is on track for this becoming the highest percentage of voters participating in the election process ever. Although the outcome may be delayed, the voice of the people won’t be denied—make sure your voice is heard with your vote.

 We are at the tail end of the Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn we have been enduring all year. With the election occurring while the Capricorn influence is still dominant, it would first appear that the deck is stacked towards Trump. However, he is going through the most challenging astrology of his life, with Pluto, representing forces outside of his control (most notably the virus) opposing his Saturn and his ability to maintain control of his office. So although it is most often considered unwise by astrologers to predict the winner of elections because of not always being right, and invariably pissing some people off, none the less, this astrologer sees a highly contested, likely delayed, but ultimately not denied, Biden win.

 Perhaps the best news is that the election will soon be over, and we can return to focusing on our lives—Ahhhh! A heads up for well-being in the meantime—if you find yourself in fear or dread of the outcome if your your candidate of choice doesn’t win, flip it—send positive energy to your candidate, imagining the good that can come with the win—you will feel better and add collective support in consciousness for your ideals.

Monday: This day favors lively conversations and enjoyable interaction with others with the Moon in communicative Gemini and in harmony to Venus (relationships). Allow delightful distractions and serendipity to enhance your day.

Tuesday: Mercury, the mind, is stationary today, changing from retrograde to direct, with the promise of improving conditions for communication and the flow of life progressing more smoothly. The Moon in Gemini fuels an interest to stay informed, but a square to Neptune clouds clarity. Just as Mercury is standing still, this is a good day to stand still and just watch—after remembering to vote! 

Wednesday: The Moon is in mentally active Gemini in harmony to Mercury, enhancing communication, learning, and teaching. The Moon moves into nurturing Cancer this afternoon, fueling a desire to pull back from the world and nurture your personal life.

Thursday: Mixed blessings are in the heavens today with the Moon Cancer being supported by the Sun and Uranus finding unique opportunities for self-nurturing. However, with agitating aspects to Venus and Mars, relationships with others can get testy. To avoid difficulties with others, this is a day to tend stay within yourself and tend to your own business.

Friday: Discipline yourself to stay away from negative thinking today, while Mercury is being challenged by daunting Saturn, leading to a tendency to look through the glass darkly. With the Moon in Cancer opposite the Capricorn planets throughout the day, you may just want to pull into your shell and seal off from all that is going on in the world—probably a good idea.

Saturday: Plan on time for some fun and recreation, maybe even something wildly outside of the box, to take advantage of the Moon in fun-loving Leo and being being prodded by unconventional Uranus. A good creed to navigate this day is knowing you will be able to have as much freedom in your life as you are willing to give to others

Sunday: The Moon in dynamic Leo being supported by assertive Mars is good for fitness training and self-directed recreational activities.  With a square to the Sun in Scorpio, a fun day can get marred by a tendency to get too set in your ways—the heads up being, staying out of resistance can lead to a great day—let it be.
