Four astrological signs, from Gemini to Virgo are void of planets this week, until the lunar ingress of Gemini on Monday. The Full Moon represents the culmination of the processes for the current cycle, which began at the New Moon on November 13^th, in opposition aspect to Uranus in Taurus. Mars ingress to Sagittarius on Friday, and Ceres ingress to Sagittarius on Monday. The Moon is in opposition aspects to Ceres and Mars a few hours before the Full Moon. The release of hostages should begin by that time, as women and children are indicated as those hostages that will be released first.

Summary of major aspects of the week

Wednesday November 22^nd — The Sun at the ingress to Sagittarius (14:05 UTC; 9:05 EST; 16:05 EET) makes a square aspect to Saturn in Pisces. Expect harsh criticism and judicial rulings. The Moon in Pisces makes a sextile aspect to Pluto in Capricorn and trine aspect to Mars in Scorpio. A shift in policy may also be expected, with Mars sextile aspect to Pluto. Venus in Libra is partile opposition aspect to Chiron retro in Aries. There are likely to be objections to the rulings. Venus demands absolute purity of results, no contaminated contradiction in rulings on birthrights or human rights. The Moon ingress to Aries (17:21 UTC; 12:21 EST; 19:21 EET).  Clarification of purpose is essential with the Moon trine aspect to the Sun. 

Thursday November 23^rd — Mars in the final degree of Scorpio transits from the sextile aspect to Pluto in Capricorn to an approaching square aspect to Saturn in Pisces. Collective goals move from a supportive role to that of a rejection of laws implemented. The Moon in Aries makes a conjunction aspect with Chiron retro followed by a trine aspect to Mercury in Sagittarius, indicating a combination of wisdom with the judicial writ. The Moon transits to the opposition aspect with Venus in Libra, an indication that personal testimonies are expressed.  Mercury doubly approaches the quincunx aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus as attempts are made to eliminate the powers of dissent. Instead, enjoy your family dinner. Calls for a retrial (Uranus retro) could be made as well.

Friday November 24^th — Mars ingress to Sagittarius with a square aspect to Saturn in Pisces. A political focus on issues of humanitarian ideals now takes up a focus on the abuse of power, a legal decision limits political dissent. The Moon in Aries morning hours US time zones, afternoon in Israel is square aspect to Pluto in Capricorn, perhaps coinciding with personal pain. At the Moon ingress to Taurus (20:30 UTC; 15:30 EDT; 22:30 EET), the Moon is sextile aspect to Saturn in Pisces in the afternoon (US time zones), quincunx aspect to Mars in Sagittarius, then quincunx aspect to the Sun also in Sagittarius. The Moon helps to draw Mars and the Sun into a continuing conjunction aspect with the quincunx aspect to the midpoint of Mars and Sun. Personal energy becomes more focused, although difficult issues confront all of us. The Moon makes a conjunction aspect to Jupiter retro in Taurus as relief is offered, health and well-being improves overnight US time zones, morning on Saturday in Europe and the ME.

Saturday November 25^th — The Moon in Taurus transits from the conjunction aspect to Jupiter to the conjunction aspect with Uranus retro in Taurus. The Moon/Uranus conjunction aspect occurs after midnight US time zones, at 10:00 pm Sunday morning, eastern European time (EET). This could upset the prospects for an agreement between adversaries. However, the Moon/Uranus conjunction aspect is quincunx aspect to Venus in Libra. The Moon then transits to the approaching quincunx aspect to Mercury in Sagittarius by 13:00 EET, potentially re-creating the Yod configuration of a week ago, putting the diplomatic efforts back on track. Ceres ingress to Sagittarius, as pleas for environment and human rights are expressed. Ceres conjunction aspect to Mars in Sagittarius, indicates a release from captivity.

Sunday November 26^th — The Moon in Taurus is quincunx aspect to Mercury in Sagittarius at 09:00 EST; 16:00 EET.  An agreement for hostage release could be finalized. The Moon makes a sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces, then transits to a flowing trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. This indicates some form of relief, as efforts are made for humanitarian concerns to be recognized. Venus in Libra is quincunx aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, with conflicting views and possibly unrealized hopes.  Mercury is square aspect to Neptune retro as harsh statements are made concerning adversaries disregard of human rights. Mars in Sagittarius separates from the square aspect to Saturn in Pisces. Aggressive or rash statements concerning delays and the limits of the release follow the implementation of the agreement.
