Winter Solstice Celebrations!

Lots of planetary activity this week!

Bright ideas crackle now through Monday while the Moon sextiles Uranus. On top of that the Moon appears full at 25 degrees Gemini/Sagittarius on Tuesday PLUS stimulating Uranus turns direct on that same day. Whew, our minds may be so hyped up with all that mental energy providing ideas for the To Do list we'll find ourselves either Gemini multi-tasking or Sagittarian-like running away from home.

Fear not - a few hours later the Moon will enter Cancer and trine Neptune meaning we should all be able to find some snug hiding hole from the Christmas madness Tuesday afternoon. But not for long because...

Wednesday the Moon conjuncts with generous Jupiter thus opening the doors for a Shopping Spree! Wouldn't it be fun to know when people do the most Christmas shopping? I'd bet money this year it will be on this Jupiter powered Wednesday and Thursday.

The week's headliner is the Winter Solstice coming up on Saturday, December 21. This is the day the Sun enters the sign Capricorn and it marks the shortest day of the year. From this date on the days become longer but for right now we have darkness and cold. How fitting that the birth of Jesus is celebrated at this time. The Sun of God came at the darkest hour but his arrival offered mankind a way to return to The Light. Celebrate Solstice this year by joining with friends and make it a moment of light and good cheer returning in your own world!

Sometimes it's harder than others to comply with what the stars show us is the right path but the lovely thing about Christmas coming during the month of Capricorn means even the simplest expression of Love is honored and appreciated as long as it's sincere. Homemade gifts are always more treasured than store bought finds and home baked ones are the best. If you would like a copy of my secret Egg Nog recipe give me a call and I'll share it. I guarantee Santa will be extra good to you this year if you leave him a mug.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

BIT Coins and Uranus in Aries - The New World Economy?

Is the American dollar in trouble? If you keep up with economic forecasts at all you are undoubtedly aware that we have been bombarded with such gloom and doom predictions for some time now. Until recently I didn't bother with these nay-sayers because I use astrology as an investment guide and I didn't see any cause for widespread panic. I still feel confident in our ability to ride out the current shock waves but I no longer assume everything will remain the same. Shift happens and survival means being able to evolve with the changes. The key planets forcing this evolution are Uranus in Aries and its ongoing square to Pluto in Capricorn. Uranus represents freedom and self-determination while Pluto rules power and in Capricorn it particularly means the power welded by governments and large corporations. In squaring each other they create conflict between the needs of the individual to be independent and the desire of government to be in control. When these two first squared off a few years back we had the beginning signs of rebellion with what became known as Arab Spring and the Occupy Wall Street movements. These shows got a lot of airplay by the media but because the core nature of Uranus is to be free and to resist any kind of organization, the movements were destined to dissolve or become embroiled in the same sort of power games they were opposing. So how can the individual be free of government control without creating another more controlling government? As always on this earth plane the answer is "Follow the money." As long as the large corporations and Wall Street fat cats have the power to manipulate the money the little guy is always going to remain weak. But true to it's rulership of computers and inventive solutions, Uranus has now come up with a scheme that may change all that. In the last six months or so "BIT coins" have become the latest rage and may ultimately launch a whole new world monetary system. When they do - or at least when the coins shoot up in value - you can say you heard about it here first!

Meanwhile there are a couple of major planetary happenings worth tuning in on this week:

Monday December 9 the Moon will be in Pisces, the sign ruling artistic matters, meditation and selfless service. It will be making a supportive trine first to Saturn giving backbone to our intentions, and then on to trine Jupiter and sextile Venus. One way to put these aspects to use would be to first get your tools lined up - Moon trine Saturn - and then let your creative juices flow. If you are sending out cards this year I bet if you do them tomorrow you will be inspired to write poetry!

On the down side whenever Jupiter is active there's the prospect of there being too much of something so weather wise we may see some extreme conditions - like unusual snow fall or flooding.

Mars leaves old maid Virgo and tries to get along in partner oriented Libra on Saturday December 7. Mars is the god of war so in peace seeking Libra he tends to feel stifled and frustrated. If you feel him urging you to give a quarrelsome answer, take a deep breath and ask him to help you come up with a more pleasant way to phrase your thoughts.

Meanwhile here's a thought:

Young souls play hard to get.

Mature souls play hard.

Old souls just play!

Have a great week,

New Moon in Sagittarius - An Astrological Guide to Celebrating The Holidays

To help us all navigate the weeks ahead I'm posting a Christmas To Do List based on the planets. I've found doing things at the astrologically right moment can make a big difference in the ultimate outcomes. This week has some stellar opportunities!

1.The New Moon will be at 11 degrees Sagittarius today - the astrological degree most often associated with physical fitness and the idea that the body is our temple.

  Hopefully if you keep this in mind through out this month of festive temptations it will help you make wise choices.            

2. On December 3 Mercury - the planet of communication - makes an enthusiastic sextile to Mars - the planet of energy - creating a perfect time to write and send Christmas greetings.

3. The Moon conjuncts Pluto Wednesday, December 4 - garner yourself some really good karma by making a donation to a homeless shelter or some other cause that serves those who are going through extreme difficulties this holiday.

4.Moon opposition Jupiter and conjuncting Venus on Thursday PLUS a trine to Mars early Friday morning - you can get a lot done now with these angels clearing your path - even some crazy new ideas might work out. Terrific line up for shopping and finding delightful and unique mementoes.

5. Mercury leaves tense suspicious Scorpio on Wednesday and enters optimistic jovial Sag. This helps, but the Christmas spirit REALLY kicks in on Friday when Mercury squares Neptune giving a rosy glow to all the evening festivities.

6. Mars enters diplomatic Libra on Saturday where his fiery temper may calm down enough to actually enjoy friendly gatherings. Could be the best day for visiting Santa - even naughty children will stand a chance of getting something nice. 

7. The Moon conjuncting musical Neptune through out the night makes this the perfect evening for caroling.

Put it all together and we're seeing Monday starts off with a New Moon emphasizing taking care of our "temple" - meaning going easy on the egg nog but also encouraging us to get into decorating our home temple. If you don't usually get a Christmas tree, this could be the year you'll really enjoy one.

Tuesday - best for writing and sending those holiday wishes (aka. Affirmations!)

Wednesday - helping others in the true spirit of Christmas.

Thursday - shopping!

Friday - attend a gathering - maybe a Christmas movie?

Saturday - take the kids to have their pictures taken with Santa. Go hear some live music tonight!

Okay, that should get us off to a good start ... But what ever you do,

Whatever the season brings,

Remember to stay merry and bright!
