Horoscope By Triana J. Elan   November 6- 12, 2023

There is also an opposite side; we are suddenly free of a constraint, we suddenly achieve a goal, a difficult situation is suddenly resolved. Every opposition has two sides. Since many of us are stuck in our ways, though, we often resist and experience the more difficult side of such a transit.

On Wednesday, Venus enters Libra, which she rules. Venus is the planet governing self-esteem, expression of love, relationships (especially between women), and the arts. Venus is in a lovely alignment to Pluto now and this brings about a dreamlike state of self-discovery where insights about ourselves surface and we are surprised to see facets of ourselves we may not have seen before.

On Friday, Mercury enters Sagittarius, which brings a good mood all the way around. Sagittarius is a naturally happy sign that seeks out friends and adventure, philosophy and teaching. Mercury is quite happy in Sagittarius.

Keep looking up, stay healthy, and…

Keep looking after each other!

Who is Triana?

Triana is a professional astrologer and amateur astronomer who has had a lifelong love for the stars and planets, mythology, philosophy and science.

Due to her mother’s interest in astrology and metaphysics, Triana had access to a large library growing up and cut her teeth on Aesop’s Fables, a set of the Classics that her grandfather gave her and Greek mythology. By the time she was in the 6th grade she was playing with astrology and reading charts for her friends at school. 

Upon completing her university studies in biochemistry, Triana relocated to the United Kingdom in 1988 and began to study the patterns of the stars recorded in the landscape of Great Britain in the form of stone monuments. Using survey maps and a compass, Triana made her way from the islands of Scotland down to Cornwall and made good use of British astrology books and astrological groups and congresses led by the top astrologers of the 20th century. By the time she was 35, Triana’s own style of interpreting the angles and aspects of the planets began to emerge. She began to receive serious attention in the UK for her astrological prowess and she flourished.

In 1996 Triana found success in writing weekly horoscopes through a small newspaper on Lopez Island, WA. Fairly quickly her name spread and her clientele increased, enabling her to travel to different places in Washington State to give presentations and conduct personal readings. Her clientele spanned from the UK to Canada as well as the United States. Visitors came to Lopez Island from afar as she herself became a destination in the islands.

Triana has been featured on television, radio and in newspapers in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the UK.
