Astrological Overview: November 29 - December 5, 2021

Written and Narrated by Pam Younghans.' Astrological Overview: November 29 - December 5, 2021 Astrologer Pam Younghans writes this weekly astrological journal based on planetary influences, and offers perspectives and insights to assist you in making the best use of current energies. This column is not intended as prediction. Your own experience will be more specifically defined by transits to your personal chart. Aspects of Note this Week: All times listed are Pacific Daylight Time. (For Eastern Time, add 3 hours; For Greenwich Mean Time, add 8 hours.) MON: Mars trine Neptune, Mercury trine Chiron, Mercury sextile Saturn TUE: Sun trine Chiron, Venus sextile Neptune, Sun sextile Saturn, Mercury semisquare Pluto WED: Neptune stations direct, Sun semisquare Pluto, Mercury quincunx Uranus THU: No major aspects today FRI: Sun quincunx Uranus, Mars sesquiquadrate Chiron, New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse 11:43 p.m. PST SAT: Mars quincunx Eris SUN: No major aspects today OUR MILKY WAY GALAXY is hurtling through space at the incredible speed of 600 kilometers (373 miles) per second. Along with other galaxies in our sector of the universe, we are being inexorably drawn in the direction of a mysterious galactic anomaly called the Great Attractor (GA). Scientists cannot tell us exactly what the GA is, partly because it is behind the "Zone of Avoidance," an area of space where is so much gas and dust that we cannot see through it. But they do know that the GA has an enormous gravitational field, which apparently is able to bend light and warp time and space. As perceived from Earth, the GA is located at about 14° Sagittarius. This Friday's Total Solar Eclipse, which occurs at 12°21´ Sagittarius, will in some ways channel the GA's enigmatic energies. AS WE ENTER the portal opened by this week's Total Solar Eclipse, the unfolding of events greatly accelerates, reflecting the incredible speed at which we are being drawn toward the Great Attractor. This quickening will continue at least through the rest of eclipse season, which culminates at the New Moon on January 2, 2022. Since the GA also seems to be able to warp time and space, we can think of this Solar Eclipse as being a catalyst for significant shifts that seem to catapult us to a new point that is much farther down the timeline. By the time we complete this eclipse season, we may feel like we are in a much different reality than the one we're currently moving through...
