Weekly Horoscope for Friday, November 19, 2010, #840 - BY ERIC FRANCIS

I recently got into a conversation with the proprietor of a local mystical bookstore; the topic was whether poo is 'spiritual'. I was making the case that everything has a role in the universe, and you cannot subtract something from the natural world and claim that it's ungodly. Cultured people tend to keep things in their appropriate places, but we need to be careful what we close our minds to. At the moment your astrological region of spiritual -- Sagittarius, your solar 9th house -- contains just about every ingredient known to humanity, from politics (Pallas) to murder (Ixion) to the language and the Internet (Mercury) to the zealous use of alcohol (Pholus) to sexual desire and ambition (Mars). This is not the time to 'not think about chocolate cake' when you're meditating. It's the time to look at the world and grant everything equal meaning, and notice how the many pieces of the cosmos fit together to reveal the mystery of existence.

You have more talent than you reveal, including to yourself. I'm going to guess (it's an educated guess) that you may feel that if you dare put some of that talent on display, you'll be revealed as someone who's faking it half the time, but I'm here to suggest that the opposite is true. All the people whose work and accomplishments you admire were folks who got up every day and set about doing what they do, learning at every step along the way. One of those steps was offering their talent or gift to the world. You have an abundance of natural ability that's likely to far exceed your current understanding of what you're capable of. On some level you seem to fear conflict arising if you express yourself, though that would not be the case if you set aside your competitive nature and took the one chance that sooner or later everyone who actually lives has to take -- being you.

Lately you're playing the role of the beloved Lt. Uhura of the Enterprise. Her job was to find the right frequency on which to speak to any aliens in the vicinity, to persist until meaningful contact was established, and to keep the conversation cool. Don't worry if you have to be compromising, diplomatic or flexible -- those are strengths and assets that will work to your advantage. The important thing is that you understand what others are saying, and that you then guide things into the next step of making sure you're understood. This would be especially true if someone seems aggressive or single-minded. Apparently you have something they need. In the kind of interpersonal politics with which you're currently involved, it's in bounds to trade favors, to use leverage and to turn a potentially contentious situation into something useful that works for everyone. Be creative; be fair; go for what you want.

This matter you're considering that is on the verge of public and private, is something you seem to want known, and you'll feel better when it's no longer private. You will reveal things to yourself by exposing them to others; the feedback from the outer world is an essential mirror of understanding that will propel you deeper into yourself. And deeper is the way you want to go: every factor involving your relationships or intimate contacts is pulling you in that direction like a colossal magnet. Whether these are seemingly work-related contacts or seemingly personal ones, always remember that you exist in the human dimension, and that its protocols are inherently hormonal. If you're concerned about breaking rules, keep your sense of humor. If you're concerned about being too obvious, wear red, and a hat with peacock feathers.

The Sun bursts into your fellow fire sign Sagittarius with a spectacular Full Moon over the weekend, and then commences what promises to be a wild adventure over the next four weeks. You've already had hints about just how daring you can be. The place to draw the line is not focusing on 'safety' but rather on creative passion. That is to say, strive for the kind of fun that is inherently about you, with that being its main quality of boldness. If you do, you'll tap directly into an energy source you always seem to lust after but less often make direct contact with. The adventure of the coming weeks blurs the lines between friends and lovers, work and play, for-serious and for-pleasure. You may freely drop all pretense of needing to impress anyone or seek approval; if there's a 'lesson' involved, that's the one. Your life is for you and the people you want to share it with.

In a theater, the distance between onstage and offstage is a few inches on either side of the wings, but that's the difference between being part of the scene or behind it. At the moment, you're trying to do both at once, and though you often prefer to work invisibly, you seem to be craving an opportunity to step into the lights. Any hesitation that may be stopping you is not exactly your own; it seems to be the property of prior generations. Your charts this year have been an extended study in going beyond the influences of the distant past and taking your rightful place at the center of your life. You have no need -- an emotional impulse, perhaps, but not a need -- to please or satisfy your father's image of you. That fictitious struggle is the one thing that stands between you and actual self-acceptance. Embrace yourself and be known for doing so. That is freedom.

At long last, Venus has stationed direct in your birth sign. This six-week journey has come with many questions, and instigated an inner search that has led you to one inevitable conclusion: this thing you're living is your life, or it's nothing at all. You have seen the influences that others can exert on you, and you've discovered that you're strong enough to discern your true self within so much competition by others to define who you are. You've grasped far closer to your center core than you may yet realize; you've gone deep enough into yourself to activate an authentic transformation rather than a change of appearance. You're working from sufficient strength that if you actually live out your values, in the form of experimenting with the choices that you actually want to make, you will rapidly gain strength, momentum and integrity.

It's difficult to look at the chart for this weekend's Full Moon and not see some theme of self-esteem appear for any of the signs, though this is particularly true for Scorpio. You may think you're striving for 'spiritual'. You may think you're reaching for purity, for liberation from physical desire or freedom from emotional impulse. In my reading, what you actually want is to surrender to unconditional acceptance of who you are and what you want. If there is any negotiating to be done, it's going to be on your terms: which are useful because all you seek is level ground. You may be confronted by the fact that someone may not like your idea of what is true for you, despite not understanding it. I would just make one suggestion -- never negotiate for your freedom. You already have it, and negotiation only obscures that basic fact.

For weeks now, energy has been rapidly gathering in your sign, and it's not going away anytime soon. The Sun makes its entrance this weekend carried by the momentum of the Full Moon. I want to remind you that while events from this point forward may seem to move quickly and perhaps unexpectedly, you've been working with a longterm plan that has, so far, been effective at giving you what you want. If you're hesitating, please get over yourself. Keep your agenda focused and remember to go for the gems of your desires first. The one caveat described by the planets loud and clear is correct speech. You can do very nearly anything you want as long as you're polite. Sagittarius is usually perceived by we mortals as being needlessly brusque, so remember to speak from a gentle place -- and understate your case. You're plenty compelling without needing to persuade.

Solve your problems before they become big problems. At the moment you have some profound insight into how to do not only that, but to move the pieces around the chessboard such that you're in a position of true advantage. If you've been hesitating on anything, it's this one point of playing the game to win, taking full authority or however you may want to describe it. This is an inner phenomenon, not anything you need to do in the outer world. You're at a point where you can align the thread and the needle and pull the thread through all of the many layers of yourself. They are unified by one thing, which is purpose. Authentic purpose exists on a level deeper than we tend to think of it; on a level deeper than (from what I hear) many people believe they can access -- but you can; you're right there.

The next few weeks will have a distinct feature that blends ease of flow and various struggles to get to the next stage of your evolution. You can parlay one with the other; a bit of challenge keeps life interesting, and a bit of luck is always encouraging. Yet the adventure of these weeks is a relatively minor phase of what has, in truth, been an extremely long journey. This trek has taken you through yourself from a space where you may have actually verged on being clueless about what you wanted or who you were, to a place where you're now working with actual knowledge, experience and principles. The question as ever seems to be about taking action. I suggest you work backwards from a goal. Focus on what you want, and the steps to getting there will be obvious. Prepare for a surge forward around the time of your birthday, perhaps a bit sooner.

The Sun crosses your career angle this weekend, where it will soon make contact with numerous other planets in that angle of your chart. This will have an activating effect, calling attention to you and what you do -- and to how well you do it. So I would ask, a little in advance: how do you feel about success? Do you consider it an adventure, or something barely worth the trouble? I suggest you make up your mind, because more than anything the planets are configured in such a way that you get what you aim for. That's to say: aim for something meaningful. There are likely to be many smaller opportunities buzzing around; there may be people who think you still have some dues to pay. Brush them off and keep your attitude positive. Right now, you're visible, and you're a magnet. Choose your opportunities. Define success your very own way.
