The Cosmic Connection
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art that has been utilized by humanity for millennia in search of a better understanding of how the cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth chart or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the moment of one’s birth, including the date, time and location. This snapshot holds many keys to one’s characteristics and can be considered one’s personal map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth, cycling according to the rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, and stars through various seasons and at specific ages. These cycles may influence your life and possibly your attitude towards life.
The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight, based on these rhythms, and the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars! It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you.
Rising sign horoscopes for Nov. 26 – Dec. 3
♈ Aries: Consider what you’ve learned about yourself through revelations about how deeply you’re energetically intertwined with others. Knowledge earned can develop into new wisdom.
♉ Taurus: Truth, honesty, and security in your relationships are of the utmost importance. Observe what’s risen to the surface as an indication of where bonds can be strengthened.
♊ Gemini: Taking care of yourself and making conscious efforts to glow from the inside out directly affect your relationships. Show up better for yourself, and you’ll do the same for others.
♋ Cancer: A Cancerian tendency is to care for and tend to the needs of others before oneself. Nip it in the bud and try nurturing yourself first. You’ll feel better and have more energy!
♌ Leo: Roots run deep; if the foundation isn’t solid, nothing else feels completely safe. The gift is awareness of the cracks. Overall satisfaction awaits on the other side of making the repairs.
♍ Virgo: Tune into what you’ve learned about the communication feedback loop between yourself and your immediate environs. The emotional undertones are clues to your comfort.
♎ Libra: This entire month was a very important audit of your finances, resources, time, and values. Evaluate what you’ve learned and adjust as needed with confidence in your decisions.
♏ Scorpio: You’ve become aware of something deep within you that requires processing and excavation. Release it all from your field and your vessel, then let the regeneration begin.
♐ Sagittarius: Retreat and solitude have most likely been more necessary than usual. It’s in this space that you are able to greet unseen parts of yourself. Embodiment is the next step.
♑ Capricorn: Your social life may be quite different now than it was just a few weeks ago. Transformation in groups of friends and community supports the change in direction you desire.
♒ Aquarius: Light is now shed on something previously hidden or lurking in the shadows. The landscape is your professional, public life. Knowledge is power; use it to your advantage.
♓ Pisces: A change of your role in the outside world arrives in perfect time. Maintain the eagle’s eye view as you soar to new heights, embark on a new journey, or explore the esoteric.
Weekly astrology summary:
Murkiness gives way to clarity as Mercury retrograde ends on Nov. 29. It’s been a magical few weeks of slowing down, shining light in the shadows, exposing hidden agendas, and confronting the root of compulsions to release and regenerate. Keeping the flow going and preventing stagnancy is important as the water element is still prominent in the cosmos.
We may begin to feel a little disconnected and fleeting as venerable Venus becomes invisible, sharing intimate soul space in the sky with the sun, from the end of November until the middle of February. Our personal and collective heartstrings and the foundations of relationships may be tested as Venus faces off with unforgiving Uranus just before soaring into Sagittarius on Nov. 30. It’s a good idea to focus on and practice gratitude even more as we enter Thanksgiving week, accompanied by some challenging cosmic vibes.
