Weekly Weather December 24, 2007
We continue to process all the emotional and profound changes from last week’s sign changes and the previous week’s Jupiter / Pluto conjunction as we enter the quiet vacation and dream week between Christmas and New Years. This week, only Venus changes signs ~ out of possessive Scorpio and into free loving Sagittarius on Sunday. Process, process, process. That is the best use of your time as you move from family function to party to family function. Process. Also Ceres stations to go direct in Taurus. She creates grand earth trine making it a WONDERFUL week to put your stake in the ground for your new future. Set a cornerstone, pour some symbolic concrete or carve a rock with the dates and your dreams. They might take a while to appear but there is creation and magic that happens when mother earth starts to move forward again.
Whenever there are profound planetary changes the universe gives us a chance to integrate them into our consciousness before we move on. Jupiter changed into Capricorn and soon Pluto will enter Capricorn. During this time, we are becoming very aware of how responsible we are for creating our dreams.
There was a very large stellium (line up of planets) in Cancer Capricorn on last week’s full moon. We are going to be working with that lunar exclamation point during the week ahead as the planets separate to go on their respective journeys. Capricorn Jupiter, Sun and Mercury were opposite to Mars and Moon in Cancer.
Pluto was involved even as he stands in the last degree of Sagittarius adding a transformation call to the energy of the week. Six planets were having a conversation across the heavens, so we tend to notice!
Mars and Mercury are out of bounds in Cancer and Capricorn adding a wild energy to the holiday mix and the week. Out of bounds planets in charge of our actions, movement, anger are in face off with communications, cousins and siblings means we can expect unusual behaviors, words or things taking place in these areas during the week. We can expect things that don’t follow the traditional rules of "how things are supposed to be". Out of bounds planets don’t play by the rules as their guide in the sky, the wise Sun, can’t control them. They’ve thrown off his advice.
Whiny and irritated is the norm for Mars in Cancer ~ so when you are feeling whiny or irritated about something, take action to change it. No whining. Step in, take action and help it change. Silent is Mercury in Capricorn’s best strategy. Keep silent. Words are particularly powerful all week long so focus them on what you can change about yourself. No nagging the other guy! Capricorn Mercury creates words that are never forgotten as they can dig a trench in the earth of the soul ~ be VERY careful what you say and silence is suggested. People are very sensitive. And they aren’t sure why (they might not study the sky like you do)
The nodes are very busy this week and have quite a few aspects. Now that the north node is in Aquarius, the community or collective is there for us, IF we look or ask it for help. The collective wants to support the changes we need to make to get our dreams to come true. Take time to speak for the nodes to your various families of choice, of love or of origin about your hopes and dreams for your next 13 years. Get them talking about their hopes and dreams. Point out the December 1994 cycle, November 1981 cycle, October 1968 cycle and September 1956 cycle. Get everyone thinking about the changes that have taken place in their lives over those cycles. Encourage them to dream their dreams for the next 13 years out loud so they can maximize the new cycle before us. Take advantage of the holiday gatherings to focus your various families on their bigger picture too.
All in all, it will be a pleasant if way too busy week. Take time for yourself. Nurture you. Muse on your future. What do you want to build? Where do you want to go? What is of value to you?
Monday, Sun is opposite to Mars, culminating the full moon energy from yesterday. Juno joins with the nodes by declination ~ what we partner with, we create. What are you partnering with? Don’t like it? Change. The concept of partnering is not one we often acknowledge.
We complain that they won’t change. They need to modify or change to fit our needs. Nope, they are not going to change. You can change! That is all that you control ~ You. You control your choices, reactions, reinforcements and corrections of their behaviors. So, if you don’t like the outcome or the situation or behavior of the person or people before you ~ stop partnering with it in the same old fashioned way that you always have. Partner in a new way. Honest. It is that easy.
Tuesday, Christmas! For the most part the aspects are lovely today. One is not so good Mars in whiny, cranky, fight with the family Cancer has an aspect of adjustment with Vesta in detached Aquarius. Get your butt out of the house and go for a walk in the fresh air if you find yourself irritated. Get up and help if you see a situation that needs adjusting or assistance on the home front. We are all looking to change our behaviors in some manner. So help those who always seem to do everything. They are feeling it too.
Mercury and the Sun have lovely aspects asking us to be strategic in how we approach things and all will resolve beautifully.
Wednesday, there are many separating aspects suggesting we all travel home, or move out into the world in a new way. Mars is opposite to Jupiter in Capricorn. They are in mutual reception so swap the planets. You can either feel wAy emotionally over the top and completely out of sorts or be incredibly productive and prolific and competent. Your choice.
Use the energy consciously and wisely.
Thursday has a squabble and kind of stressed out energy to it. Mercury and Pluto and Neptune are mulling around and not being overly clear. Sit with the anxiety or fear or whatever and let it pass. This is one of those days where tears and high emotions can be expected. Things can end today. Or they can become very passionate over something you don’t even get because its been building for a while now. Thank it and move on.
Friday, again with the stressful energy as we have semi-sextiles. These are our cosmic blind spots. We don’t like them. We don’t see them coming. Watch for blind spots! Ceres also stations to go direct so it is time to put the holidays behind us and move onto your future. Ceres is in Taurus. She wants to get busy and build things. Mars is moving backwards towards his opposition to Pluto next week. This is a FABULOUS time to wipe out or get rid of or release the stuff that is clogging your life, closets and bureaus.
Saturn’s day finds us with a pile of aspects including a number of aspects to the nodes. Reach out and touch.
Connect. Contact. Communicate. Get in touch with the folks you’ve lost touch with and who you want back in your life for the next 13 years. What is important to you? Start to work on it today. Take advantage of the nodes to do so. Life is about our relationships. What relationships in your life need a bit of nodal connection to nurture them for the future? Go do it.
Sunday Venus enters Sagittarius as Sun trines Saturn.
We are not taught that we build our lives through our choices and our non-choices. But build them we do.
When I sit across the consulting table or on the phone with someone for a reading and the chart unfolds as a master plan of choices and actions taken or avoided, we both can see how masterful it is. Make a resolve on the eve of New Year’s eve to be conscious of your choices ~ or lack of them too. Just ask for consciousness in the New Year. Conscious makes it much easier ~ even as the magnitude can overwhelm you at times. Settle in and look at the life you’ve built.
What do you want to do? What do you want to change?
Where do you
want to spend the next 13 ye
ars of your life? Choose abundance and a belief in your inherent personal worth. That firmly in place, reach out to the folks near you and help them with their stuff.
Remember the airline admonition ~ put on YOUR oxygen mask first, then help the children and people around you. What is YOUR oxygen? What makes your breath quicken and heart take a leap? Include more of that in 2008 too!
