Lighten Up Already!

Last week was overwhelmingly busy around here what with introducing my new puppy into our household and doing most of the cooking for two days of Thanksgiving meals. No wonder the tension of Uranus stationing took its toll on my nervous system. But now Uranus is officially direct and Venus has moved out of intense Scorpio for another year and into far more playful Sagittarius .

It is fair to say we will all be feeling this stellium wherever it falls in our charts, urging us to think big and maybe take a chance or two. Sagittarius is interested in exploring different ideas and drawing concepts from many different cultures to build something new and interesting. With [...]
