Astrology Forecast for Nov. 17-30
By Cortney Litwin / Staff Writer
Following Tuesday’s energizing full moon is a Mars-Saturn slump on the 18th, causing feet-dragging and other related frustrations. Saturn turns retrograde Nov. 22-April 4 (18 weeks!), a time for reevaluating business activities and other responsibilities. On a lighter note, interactions perk up on the 22nd when the sun enters farseeing Sagittarius and then merges with Mercury on Thanksgiving, prompting lively, philosophical communications. Next, retrograde Mercury backs up into Scorpio Nov. 26-Dec. 12, prompting revaluations of personal and financial activities. Out of the past and into the future, a Jupiter-Uranus dance Nov. 24-Dec. 2 ignites innovation, technological breakthroughs and spiritual vision. This futuristic, rebellious energy is intensified during a sun-Uranus collision on Nov. 27-29.
