And then there is....the first day of Cap..Happy Winter Solstice! Dec 21

On Sunday 12/21 At 6:03pm EST -- The Sun moves into  zero Capricorn which launches the Winter Solstice.


Then two and half hours later (8:35pm EST)  the Capricorn New Moon takes off.

It is mindboggling interesting that Uranus turns direct three hours before the Winter Solstice and the New Moon.

Perhaps we have all felt a big spin out by Uranus.  Maybe in the last five months we have been driven by Uranus to really cuckoo places.  Maybe we seeked a lot of liberation?  Maybe we started a few brush fires?  Maybe we just didn't give a shit for the entire five months.   Maybe we had fun.   Maybe others pissed us off in ways that we just could not stand.    Who knows what happened but now we are getting a new start.   Of course we should take the good of what we learned from Uranus' retrograde and integrate it into our life so that it can help us build our place in the world.
Not sure where you belong in the world?

Let's use the Cap New Moon to help figure it out.

Cap New Moon will be posted soon.

 

Uranus turns Direct

Uranus Shakes It Out

AT 5:44pm (EST) tomorrow (December 21^st  )  Uranus the planet of change,  will turn direct.   How much has your life changed since July 22^nd?  What type of cuckoo has landed in your life?  Are you empowered by the cuckoo?   Of course, Uranus retrograde brings a certain amount of restlessness.  And it is hard to remain restless for five months.   But come December 21^st many of us will feel a rocket booster taking off.  Hurray.  It does not mean rockets blasting on the 22^nd but there will be a shift.  Remember this is a global astrological event.  Uranus in Aries is putting the emphasis on all of us and our personal responsibilities.  If we are waiting for someone else to fix a problem or someone else to step up and help or someone else to find a breakthrough…well, we are wasting our time.  We know that we all have to step up and do something.  Aries can be a selfish sign for sure.  All about number one, but more to the point with Aries is taking personal initiative to get something done.  Having a personal vision and sticking with it---  That is a gift.  Watch what Uranus tells you after Dec 21^st.

What's Going on?

What's Going on? 

Last Quarter Moon Phase

December 14

7:50am EST

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

Focus on:

What actions can you take that speak to your daily life?  What actions can you take that support hygiene?  What actions can you take that take care of the little things?  How are your actions a complement to goals that stretch you?

Special focus:

Sunday 12/14

The Sun and Jupiter are in a fun aspect that inspires joy, pleasures, play, finding the theatrics of love.    

Also Venus/Neptune are supporting each other for Joy, creativity, whimsy, out of this world contacts. 

And then there is the big ass Uranus/Pluto aspect which we have already been talking about HERE      At this point I'm not sure why I even have to write about it because all of us on planet Earth are certainly feeling it.   We may be tired and wondering how we are here again, but this is the second to the last time we will have it.  Only one more time in March.   Years from now we will look back on 2012-2015 and say….”Oh, yeah, that is what happened during that period of Uranus/Pluto squares”

On Tuesday 12/16

12/16: Mercury moves into Capricorn.   Sober and practical thinking takes over.

Balsamic Moon Phase

December 18

7:25am EST   

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new. 

Focus on We release our controlling nature.  We release our dark, primitiveness. We let go of fear. We let go of our DNA.       

COMING UP: Uranus/Pluto Tangle

Shall we go over all this again?  Oh, why the hell not.

Uranus and Pluto have been getting into many fist- fights since 2012.

April 21, 2014

And now we are at the sixth date.   December 14. 

The final date will be March 16, 2015.  If we are still all alive. I’m joking. We’ll be here. 

How has your life been for the last three years? How are the battles?   God, knows I have had mine and I’m not done.    The pressure will be up our grill this month but frankly after every thing we have been through, what’s new?    Where do you need to break out?  Where do you need a break through?  Where do you need to evolve?  Where are you stuck and seriously, why?   At this point what can we change to end this madness?   I personally want someone to hand me a road map out of the battles but I know I have to evolve out of it.    Maybe it will be a case of removing ourselves from the fight?  Maybe.  Maybe not.

It is interesting that the second to the last round of this tough aspect is happening during the Sag lunar cycle while we are getting new perspectives.  Maybe that is what the doctor ordered?   Watch what comes up during this whole 29 day cycle but especially around December 14.   By the way, on a side note there is usually some kind of Julian Assage news around the Uranus Pluto aspects.  Not that we care but probably a new one this month.  Or not.   

Jupiter Retrograde

Jupiter

Jupiter is in the middle of his transit in Leo where he will be until next summer.  However, on December 8^th at 3:41pm EST, Jupiter turned retrograde.   If you don’t know and I’m sure you do since you read this column regularly but Jupiter is the biggest planet of our solar system.  Super, super, big and he does not do anything small.  Leo of course is our most dramatic sign.  Some drama is outward and some drama is inward.   With a retrograde period it means Jupiter is sending us inward.  

We are already trying to find what is our authentic self and what opinions are real for us and now with Jupiter turning retrograde we will going inward for five months to find out what makes our heart soar.  When Jupiter turns direct next April we will have a better sense of what makes us purr.  Look to see what house in your chart has transiting Jupiter. Know that you will be rethinking, relearning, re-evaluting that part of your life for five months.   You may want to throw the baby out with the bath water but I would recommend instead you do what we are already doing, get a new perspective, get some feedback and tweak your desires.    And don’t push too hard let Jupiter slowly educated you.
