This week the moon is full, and you know what that means. Crazy cats careening through darkened rooms at 3 a.m. Emotional meltdowns from the most stalwart of personalities. Risk-taking behavior goes into fifth gear with sky's-the-limit spending. This, particularly from you Capricorns and Cancers who are feeling like the universe is against you (this month it kinda is). That's the downside. The good news is that creativity is at a peak, so now's the time to try writing the perfect allegro passage for your symphony. This full moon is the "beaver moon," so sharpen your teeth.

Wednesday, Nov. 13 Waxing moon in Pisces. It's way too easy to take trifles personally, to tell details that are extraneous to the story, or to tell the story in too many words. Pisces, of course, can get away with being vulnerable and sweet, or Machiavellian. It's your choice. Taureans and Virgos, it's a great day for working on plants or aspects of your dwelling that reflect your soulfulness.

Thursday, Nov. 14 Waxing moon in Pisces. During the day everything will take an extra step, so be careful going up and down stairs. Pisces, you may want to be undercover, but you shouldn't – make big smoochy sounds at those you love. Sagittarians, it's a day to give in or give up. Fight tomorrow. Geminis, nothing you do counts until late next week. VOC 5:38 p.m. to 9:38 a.m.

Friday, Nov. 15 Waxing moon in Aries. A perfect day for your boss to say, "You know, we have to start all over." Yeah, right – who needs it? Libras, you may be the ones to say what everyone is feeling. Fire signs are in a mood to stir up trouble, especially Sagittarians and Leos. Can we have fun with that? Aries, don't take no for an answer, unless your birthday comes around April 8 through 14.

Saturday, Nov. 16 Waxing moon in Aries. Good day for getting a haircut (especially one that makes you look younger or more childish). Aries, speak your mind, unless you're dealing with (hypersensitive and super-trembly) water-sign folks. Cancers, you may need to vent about work matters today, especially if you've been recently taken advantage of or passed over.

Sunday, Nov. 17 Waxing moon in Aries/Taurus. It's an excellent afternoon for shopping or aggressive business moves. Ask for the impossible in the morning and figure out how to make it happen in the afternoon. Taureans, you may feel like you have to take care of everything. What else is new? Don't let fussing over others keep you from protecting your own interests. Aries, if you oversocialized this weekend, be a slug today. VOC 6:06 a.m. to 10:23 a.m.

Monday, Nov. 18 Waxing moon in Taurus. Leonid meteor shower starting at 8 p.m. It's not a good time for impulse purchases but an excellent one for laying out the newsletter, rearranging filing systems, or summing up someone else's shortcomings. Those of you doing business with Libras or Aquarians may find they have their own ideas and no use for yours. Virgos, "figuring it out" is what you do well, and today that may actually give you pleasure.

Tuesday, Nov. 19 Waxing moon in Taurus. Just as "dark of the moon" is the day before the new moon, we could call this "light of the moon," the last day before a full moon. Has someone had an emotional meltdown in your neighborhood? Stubbornness reigns, especially among earth signs (Capricorns?) who can't admit they're wrong. Taureans, look for opportunities to be generous, but don't expect gratitude. VOC 5:34 p.m. to 10:25 p.m.

 

KEY TO SALLY CRAGIN’S MOON SIGNS This horoscope uses the passage of the moon as much as the sun to provide a forecast, and thus it’s applicable to everyone. However, the specific signs mentioned in each day’s forecast are receiving special attention from the universe. Each week all 12 signs will be mentioned, usually more than once. When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day cycle. During that period expect really wide emotional swings. When the moon is opposite your sun sign, expect difficulties with your preferred gender, authority figures, and your better angel. When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra. Other oppositions are Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-Sagittarius, Cancer-Capricorn, Leo-Aquarius, and Virgo-Pisces. The moon takes about two and a half days to cruise through a sign. Still with me? Finally, as the moon changes sign, it will sometimes become “void of course.” This means it ceases to make major angles to planets. Consider this a null time, and try to avoid business decisions until this period is over. If you’ve got to make a move, stay skeptical. But it’s terrific for making art. All void-of-course times are pacific daylight. Visit www.moonsigns.net for more information. .
