Forecast for Nov. 4-17
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
An optimistic, innovative energy begins the week as Mercury trines Jupiter on the 4th and Uranus on the 6th. These influences favor travel, communications, agreements, technology and philosophical discussions. Just watch out for a miscommunication when Mercury squares Neptune on the 5th. On the same day, the new moon in Scorpio favors delving into and releasing emotional issues that keep you stuck. It also energizes matters pertaining to loans, business agreements and financial settlements. Next, Neptune turning direct on the 6th can help clarify your direction. Venus transiting through Libra from Nov. 7-28 favors partnership activities and artistic endeavors. Mercury transiting through Sagittarius from Nov. 8-29 accelerates discussions about education or spirituality. Finally, the sun-Jupiter trine on the 15th can help you see the bigger picture of where you’re headed.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that too.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Venus reentering your sign indicates it’s time to heal and resolve the past with someone you love. The new moon energizes your earning power and may bring a financial opportunity. Communicating your goals will accelerate your success.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The new moon in your sign energizes your desire to embark on a new (or at least improved) personal path. It also makes you a magnet for opportunities, especially if you pay attention to your intuition, which is especially active now.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
As the new moon illuminates your unconscious, you may be inspired to analyze, heal and release any emotional blocks that hinder your progress. Mercury in your sign energizes your self-expression, making it a prime time to share your ideas.

The new moon puts your career in the spotlight, while Venus in Libra can bring a valuable contact from afar. Promoting your projects is favored on the 4th, 6th and 15th. Friends or organizations can be of assistance in helping you attain your goals.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because the new moon illuminates your inner vision, it’s time to focus on your personal and professional aspirations. The clearer you are about where you’re headed, the easier it will be to manifest the people and situations that are aligned with your destiny.
