November was a tough month for many of us, including me and my colleague, Astrologer Maria DeSimone. For me, it was mostly emotional turmoil, but for Maria it was very rough in the material world.

In addition to Mercury Retrograde and a lot of dark Scorpio energy, Hurricane Sandy took a disastrous toll on many — and Maria’s home and car were damaged in this horrible East Coast storm.

Maria is busy rebuilding, along with many of our East Coast friends, and the good news she has for us is that December is going to be much, much better.

Maria says we may spend the first half of the month dealing with some emotional implications brought about by November’s Full Moon Eclipse in Gemini, but life will get substantially better by December 13 and we can head into the holidays energized and happy.

Read her latest blog for the deets, and say a little thank you to the cosmos for helping Maria pull through Hurricane Sandy!
