Forecast Nov 21-Dec 4, 2022: Deciphering Hope From Hopium

New opportunities abound this week as the Sun moves into Sagittarius on Tuesday and a new Sagittarius Moon dawns on Wednesday, as Jupiter stations direct. Perhaps offering a few glimpses into the incoming solar and lunar phases, Mercury and Venus will conjoin in upbeat Sagittarius on Monday. In fact the two will travel in tandem throughout their Sagittarius transits, with speedy Mercury leading the way. Sagittarius is astrology's mutable fire sign. It is also the home of magnanimous Jupiter, and is thus associated with the planet's largess and inexhaustible exuberance. That Jupiter will begin moving forward as the Sag solar and lunar cycles get underway is another indication that fresh starts are possible. After 2022's unusually arduous Scorpio cycle, these first inklings from hopeful Sag will find a receptive audience. But, Jupiter's excess and propensity for gambling can quickly become too much of a good thing. Distinguishing hope from hopium will be critical.
