Disclaimer: If you do not take every word of these horoscopes with the utmost faith, you will die. Statistics bear this out. Simply scan the newspapers. You will find that an overwhelming majority of the people that die each week DID NOT read the Baron's horoscopes.
This week events manifest along the guidelines laid down in previous weeks, with one small change. Uranus, retrograde for months previous, went direct last weekend, sending the creative spirit forward. The changes we feel brewing stir at a subconscious level, but aren’t quite ready to be midwifed into being. Let’s take a look at where things are holding before they change next week.
Mercury tunnels his way through the last degrees of Scorpio, bringing communications to the depths of personal relationships not quite addressed yet. This is troubled territory, where Mercury would like to speak words that need not be spoken during better times. But time, unlike space, is not up to us. And this is not the time. You will benefit by keeping toxic thoughts to yourself and negotiations courteous.
Retrograde in the first decanate of Cancer, Mars is walling people up inside emotional snow globes. Although some are engaged in outright battles, the rest are trying to avoid what they cannot repair through engagement. These force-fields of isolation and difference are armor sadly necessary at times.
A Freudian hangover infects the culture, suggesting that we air every complaint in the name of self-exploration and emotional depth. The current circumstances do not favor this underlying orthodoxy. There are therapeutic places, in time as well as space, and although the background energies have woken a number of slumbering feuds, this is not the time to work through them all, because they have not fully emerged.
By unearthing all of our current concerns, we risk the folly of attempting to solve the issues without fully understanding them. Our solutions will likely be as premature as our understanding of the problem.
Venus shines from the end of Libra into these affairs. Venus counsels an uneasy truce where true peace is not possible. We must accept the missed messages of the present, and participate in it until it becomes the near future.
Mars is deep in his underworld, busy burrowing far beneath our defenses. Thought causing the occasional surface earthquake in the daylight world, he is still weeks away from reaching the heart of affairs. Mars must tunnel back all the way through Cancer and then into Gemini before he’ll have found the root of the problem, and the true seed of his transformation.
In Gemini he will see these dark roots, the problem with the relationship between the twins. A hostility between dark and light that made it impossible for them to be harnessed to the chariot of the present. Currently striving under an ill-fitting yoke, the twins, as steeds, pull the chariot in too many directions- it goes no-where. Breaking up the team isn’t the answer. Great forward strides will not be made as a unit until the relationships between the members of the team have been transformed.
Horoscopes: Nov. 25th – Dec. 2nd
Note on Horoscopes: 12 Fold horoscopes are a way to assess the general condition of the splayed rays of the zodiac. Although not without value, they are a blunt tool, and can only describe the archetypal activity in each power-zone. In order to sharpen the accuracy of the horoscopes, read your Sun Sign if you were born in the day-time, and read your Moon Sign if you were born at night. Reading the Sign in which the Ascendant is placed is also advised.
Aries: Vacation From You
Aries, your impatience is a vice. Usually it’s a small one. But under the current conditions confrontation is likely to lead to useless explosions rather than resolution. It is not time to be honest, because the subject of your honesty is in the midst of transformation. Today’s honesty will be tommorow’s lie. So chill. Instead, the Baron advises planning a neglected sojourn to some far-flung landscape; material, astral, mental or otherwise.
A cow is not complete without a swarm of flies surrounding it, harassing it. Over the last month, those insects have been harassing you with paranoid thoughts, sucking valuable time, energy, and blood. This will be the last week that the carnivorous swarm takes you attention, for come next week communications will take on a more direct tone that leaves less room for suspicion. So wait it out and stop swatting.
Gemini, last week’s Full Moon in your sign and the Sun’s entrance into Sagittarius puts the spotlight on your relationships with people. Jupiter’s presence in Sagittarius indicates that you’ve been given unusual opportunities to learn from people this year, but with those opportunities has come a hidden cost, indicated by Pluto. The price Pluto asks is different for each person. The question the Sun has come round to shine on is how you’ve responded to these opportunities, what cost you’ve either paid or refused, and whether its been worth it.
Cancer, you’re midway through a process through which the means by which you generate and understand power will be transformed. If you feel out of your element, it is because you are. Learning means taking on things you do not already comprehend.
Leo, the problem you thought you’d left behind isn’t gone yet. In fact, its only gotten closer. Its as if you’re doing battle with a tar pit, attempting to break the fossilized bones of your past. But your flailing only draws you deeper into it. Maybe there’s something in there you forgot about, or should forget about.
Dear Virgo, having Saturn in your sign sucks. The near presence of the reaper’s planet tends to cause the emergence of dire things both great and small. Saturn’s seeming malevolence is subtle, for it not only creates misfortunes, but like the gaze of Medusa, it hardens the witness to these events. One might argue that the true difficulty Saturn poses is not events themselves, but the petrifying effect they have on the mind that sees them. Minds have a way of replicating in reality what they have come to expect. So smile.
It’s likely, Libra, that you’ve reached the limits of your peace-making abilities. Instead of hoping for deep harmony, it may be to your own, and others, advantage to consider the value of a cease-fire. A truce may be temporary, but it still provides real moments of peace. Don’t put yourself on the rack by trying to bridge extremes that won’t quit.
A turbulent witches brew seethes below the foam of current events. It must bring a strange satisfaction and peace to see so many people attempting to tread the underworld waters whose struggles you already know so well. You know how to let the sewers run their course, so let it flow for a bit.
Happy birthday, Sagittarius. The stars have a few fine things to say about the year to come for those born this week. Abundant enthusiasm and ardor will strive to meet exacting professional standards.
For the rest of you, its still a game of keeping your gaze away from other people’s prizes. Unprofitable conflicts lies in the arms of others. Keep your bow and arrow pointed down your own path, Sagittarius, and you’ll be fine.
Capricorn has been uprooted, and a certain change in terms of social circles is developing, but the real action has yet to come to the Cappies. As you have likely noted, there are big changes an opportunities just over the horizon. Something may be brewing, but its certainly not percolated completely. The Baron advises you to competently attend to practical matters in order to put yourself into position for whats just over the next hill.
A certain benevolent force has asserted itself by rebalancing your perspective. You can benefit in the weeks ahead by consciously solidifying these changes. Your enthusiasm is set to decay over the next month, and so anchoring yourself to the way you’re looking at things now is important. Try listing your assumptions about life right now, and then tucking that list away for a few weeks. When your expectations are threatened by disdain, consider the list you’ve prepared.
Professional direction and operations are highlighted all month for you, Pisces. However, your mind won’t be free to fully consider career until well into next week. The planets suggest that you’re at the tail end of a type of philosophical crisis. The Baron suggests you not plunge into other matters before tying off the loose ends of your current set of considerations. Use this week to clean your mental slate for what’s next.
