hallo sweet bbz, As you certainly know, today (Halloween, Hallowe’en, All Saint’s Eve, etc etc) at 10:49 AM ET, there is a Full Moon in Taurus. The sign of sweet Luna’s exaltation. As much as Taurus is slow with evolution, this lunation screams: CHANGE IS GOOD. I’ll tell you why. If 2020 was all about taking a final audit on the systems and structures that have failed us (& the few that have kept holding us up) then 2021 is about the fight to create the future we want. (& The truth is that we’re already creating it.) It’s not going to be easy. & it’s not going to happen if we’re not willing to improvise. To throw out draft after draft after draft until we find something that sticks. Paint gets thrown on the wall. Nothing is smooth, OK? Go with it. Today’s full moon is about learning to love change for what it is: creativity. When the moon is full, the sun and the moon are in opposite signs. It’s a time of culmination: of hanging on or letting go. The sun is in Scorpio: our fixed water sign. Some say that Scorpios are murky, glacial. Like ice. Inconceivable. Hard to read. But we don’t have to make Scorpios so enigmatic. If you love a Scorpio, you know that their fixed water is less of a glacier and more of a lake. Scorpios are an oasis: a place we can always count on to be there and to have depth. (Yes, many lakes were actually made by glaciers carving out the Earth during the last Ice Age that is quite Scorpionic too but I digress…) This being said about the lake, I want to further clear up that we don’t have to take this metaphor and make Scorpios into something even more impenetrable: The Dead Sea, The Great Salt Lake, The Caspian –– Scorpios can be just like…a friendly pond. The swan we visit in Central Park. Scorpios have fresh water too. Because having something simple and fresh (that remains) (with depth) is a good thing. We don’t have to make that truth so hard to swallow. As we head into this period of great change (of revolution really), we need to know where our lake is. Our oasis is always there. Even when that lake becomes ice in the winter, there is always something warmer underneath. Fish swim in the lower layers, closer to the Earth. There’s always something brewing. It’s OK to approach. * This Full Moon in Taurus (fixed earth, Venusian spring) is exactly conjunct Uranus ––planet of rebellion, innovation and rapid improvements. Technology. Uranus throws ideas at us. Taurus, on the other hand, does not like change and is slow to do it. We say “stubborn” but what we really mean is “requires comfort to exist.” This lunation is about a strange (Uranus) beauty (Taurus). An electric comfort. Letting something wonderful take us by surprise. The plan didn’t work but we got something better instead. Mars & Venus (the respective rulers of the sun and the moon) are both currently in their home signs. Venus is in tastemaker Libra and Mars is almost through his retrograde in competitive Aries. With “everyone” “in” “their’ “right” “place” the change we make doesn’t even have to be that weird! It can just be what’s correct, supportive or “for the best.” So be creative, Lean into what you think is beautiful whether that’s Looking at art, Reading a book, Listening to a new album on repeat, Trying a new recipe Or (especially) volunteering, Finding a lovely way to help. To contribute. To nourish your friends. To feed your community. To care for yourself. (Clue: you don’t always have to consume the same stuff in the same way to stay nourished and get your vitamins.) EXPERIMENTATION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE AN EXHIBITION. It can just be nice, OK? Mercury stations direct on November 3rd (Mars follows soon after on the 13th) in an almost exact square to Saturn. Everything that’s communicated will be checked over and over again several times. But what’s been delivered will be revealed. And on November 4th, four planets (or “planets”): Moon, Venus, Mars & Saturn will all be in their home signs. Cardinal signs. Cancer (Moon), Libra (Venus), Aries (Mars) & Capricorn (Saturn). Cardinal signs are about STARTING SOMETHING. AN INITIATION. A BEGINNING. MOMENTUM. SETTING THE SCENE. Bringing up the lights. River flowing into ocean. This continues throughout November, only building as the month continues. This full moon is our final surprise before this period of skilled preparation. A lot of backed up information is going to be left on the desk so GATHER THY PATIENCE. Something’s about to explode (&that’s a good thing) (volcanoes are sacred). We can face our fear of the unknown together (& wash it down with cookie dough). Love you bbz! Vote & do what you can to help your community. It’s all gonna change. XO, JAIME ** what follows are horoscopes for each sign. if you know your rising sign, please read for that. & read your sun sign as well. if you don’t know your rising sign, reading for your sun sign is totally fine. there’ll be something there <3 (there might be something in all of them) these are meant to be nuggets to chew. hopefully, there’s some bite. these horoscopes are meant to be found. If you like what you read, please consider making a small donation ($3 suggested) here or to @Jaime-Wright on Venmo. If you’d like to take a look at your chart & what’s coming in the cosmic skies with me, you can book a session here. (More info coming about this soon !!!) ** ARIES Getting yr usual treats isn’t going to be it today, bb. It’s actually ideal to get something and give it away to someone you love. Give it all away. Au revoir to all that. That’s what brings you home. Have the snacks but get them on sale and ask your BFF, “hey, what do you want? What do you want to do together?” it’s frustrating because nothing’s been going your way lately but you surround yourself with tastemakers for a reason. Hit up whoever told you to buy that orb, that sweater, that je ne sais quoi but it works & follow her lead. TAURUS No one totally gets what’s happening with you ...but you’re different. It’s been a process. You went platinum instead of screaming your transformation from the rooftops. But still, you followed every step of that divine (godforsaken) plan. Who says you’re not allowed to change? Don’t second guess yourself. Just keep allowing yourself to be. You need to add the upgrade to the rotation. Put it on the playlist. This isn’t a run-of-the-mill Spotify Daily Mix 6 anymore. It comes from a place that’s far more primal. Eventually, this will all be boring again but please, keep walking around the block in strange and interesting ways. GEMINI You’re known for being wild and hilarious but when was the last time you actually lost control? Lost your head? Fell into the music? You’re along for the ride so just dive in. If it’s too much fun, try to avoid that “not my responsibility” mindset because ultimately, this adventure represents your values and therefore your resources. The universe can surprise you when you relieve your heart and mind of being nervous about starting. Acknowledge its divine power but laugh in its face afterwards. Cry, shout for joy, just accept the moment. For you this lunation is very “just dance.” So just dance. CANCER Your audience defines you. You know that, right? You’ve spent so much time doing the work and proving you’re committed to “the project” that you’ve forgotten to ask for an outside opinion. Yes, your friend CAN rewrite your artist statement for you and it will certainly be more accurate. I promise. Give it a chance. You are your reach. What surrounds you. No matter how small or wide the circle. What we create is a collaboration with those who are willing to witness us. Sing out. Ask for feedback. What you do can only evolve when you listen. LEO Take your moment in the spotlight and enjoy it. Appreciate your closest networks: your sister, your neighbors, your oldest friend. Of course, the review said your voice sounded a bit … pickled. Fermented. What does that even mean? Fermented? Like, on a shelf? Covered in vinegar? Fuck the critics though. You know where that honey is. A spoon of sweetness isn’t meant to be pure or even palatable. Drinking vinegar actually stabilizes other acids in your body so fill that spoon with ACV. Medicine is what it is. VIRGO Someone you look up to surprises you today. Quite possibly lets you down. How can you be your own guru instead? As a collective, we’re learning that there’s more knowledge to be culled from the curious child than from the spiritual leader. All wisdom is open source. There’s no room for anymore gatekeeping. Or gate watching. Or gates (general). Community is where the real teaching happens. Today’s lunation reminds you to trust your own brain. Squishy. Purple. Glowing. Every nook and cranny filled with eager thought. No one needs to tell you what’s right. You can feel it or at least explore it. LIBRA Don’t you miss collaborating, bb? I know you do. That sweet exhilarating feeling of being in a room and throwing the dice and shooting the shit and rolling on the floor. Laughing, crying, whatever. It doesn’t matter. You’ve done so much heavy lifting on your own. Literally and figuratively. But now it’s time to owe something again. The debt is worth it (and today’s lunation might relieve you of a more mundane loan if that’s where you really need the assistance). Collaboration also doesn’t have to be a show or a band or a Zoom coven meeting. It can just be asking someone for help and accepting it and giving thanks in return. Why not be carried? You look good in the chariot. SCORPIO You think you know what you want from a support system. You might think you already have it. But could you have something even better instead? Something more joyous? Something that makes you laugh when you look in the mirror? A hilarious sound coming from that seashell or that tin can phone? Yeah, what this lunation wants is for you to learn how to be your own best friend. How to tune out the noise coming from every direction about what and how and who you should love. Love yourself. What completes you WILL surprise you. It’s shocking to not have to lower your standards. It’s time to stop looking down & start holding yourself up. SAGITTARIUS The battle is on and your car is packed with snacks. Yr denim jacket fits over the armour ––don’t worry1 (Alessandro Michele wishes, tbh). You have places to go yes but really there’s just always more work to do. Magical work. Ritual work. Go time is a routine. Flossing is a spell. Laundry is holy holy holy. Your friends have joined in the choir, the challenge and that’s a benefit! Everyone gets an assignment so forget delegating or where it’s all going or “the” “point” and just focus on the small things you have a handle on now. This moment. Then, have a s’more. CAPRICORN For you, this lunation is particularly creative. Particularly pleasurable. Life both above and below the surface has been sweet fun for you lately (somehow, against all odds). But, what you really WANT to be pleasurable … isn’t. The candy pumpkins are giving you cavities (and who has the energy for the dentist?). Worse is yr partner doesn’t care about the cavities or the fillings or the candy pumpkins. Your desires are at odds with your support system & that’s … a buzzkill. There’s no negotiating the id. A child’s play castle is eternal. So if you want everyone to get along, there might have to be a difficult compromise. Time to water down the holiday punch. AQUARIUS It’s time to go to the underbelly of the lake. Your pie is there. As is the couch, the remote & yr favorite hoodie. But, it’s not the way you remember it looking. This cave. There’s something electric here. The walls are yellow. The sediment turned over and you don’t recognize the water. Everything’s different. It’s warm but possibly too warm. You ok? Can you cope? Your ideals got you here in the first place and it’s your routines that can get you out. When you map out your ancestry the geography of it all makes more sense. The water is in a cycle and not a linear narrative. The quilt is always collecting. PISCES A surprise waits on your welcome mat or just to the left of that turtle “vase” where you hide your keys. No, it’s not a dead bird. It’s a note. As we used to say when we were young: a clue! It’s sweet & bittersweet. Exciting & scary. There’s a path you can follow to find out more but maybe all you need is the note itself. Take a random walk. Sit for a moment in the stillness, the disorientation, the breath of it all. The flow. Stop and let something surprise you. Take a winding path back when you make your grand return. Then you’re ready to write a note back to your new pen pal: Destiny.
