  • This is a busy week for the Sun toting a heavy agenda before it leaves the sign of Sagittarius and beds down for a few long winter nights. The Winter (standstill) Solstice December 21, 2006 occurs Thursday at 7:22 p.m. when the Sun appears to stand still at its most southern point, the Tropic of Capricorn, from December 19 to December 23 where it is perched south at -23°26'. For nearly five days this standstill brings us the darkest time of the year from the northern view of Earth's equator.
    These standstill days are surrounded by several notable events beginning with the Sun's trine to Saturn on December 16 which outlines the trine between Saturn in Leo and Pluto in Sagittarius, not exact until August 6, 2007, but closely relating its symbolism in our lives right now. This heavy pair usually digs up the concrete to replace the infrastructure of our lives when opposing or square. Now trine, they enjoy more creative endeavors, like designing a new bridge or tower or installing less dictatorial personalities in government. Saturn and Pluto were last trine from April 1996 through February 1997. Maybe now you can remodel instead of replacing the plumbing, heating or cooling system or anything metaphorically related. Your hard work over the past dozen years has an audience waiting for your finished product by August '07.
    The Sun reaches Pluto on Monday, Dec 18 at the point called the Galactic Center. The Sun made this conjunction last with Pluto at the Galactic Center way back in December, 1759. The Sagittarius Moon will carry the light of the trine back to Saturn on the 20th; then, hours later, the Moon joins Pluto, all part of its dark and old Moon phase before it renews its cycle with the Sun at the 9:01 a.m. Wednesday for the 28° 32' Sagittarius New Moon.
    The next day macho Mars will square quirky Uranus only moments before the Sun's Capricorn ingress adding an ember to an already hot item. A lit cut tree under dry conditions typically adds to the high incidents of fire during the Christmas season but the sparks are more likely to fly with the aggravated nature of this aspect. High blood pressure is another common hazard associated with the Mars and Uranus square.

    But in the light of cycles this square is the last of four major hard aspects in the Mars Uranus cycle that began with a conjunction May 15, 2005; the first quarter square March 11, 2006; the two opposed on August 13, 2006 and finally this last quarter square December 21, 2006. They will form their next conjunction April 28, 2007 renewing the cycle again.

    Many bold inventions and medical advances fall under the influence of the Mars and Uranus combo. Certainly, a medical procedure within a week or so of any Mars -Uranus aspect can bring the patient the latest technology and quickest results. Viewing Mars, as blazing saddles and Uranus, as a lightening bolt we can expect excitement in thoughts and actions over this next week with more noise, fire and chaos mixed with all kinds of surprises. The signs they occupy - Mars in Sagittarius and Uranus in Pisces are the changeable, mutable signs. This may mean that any hesitation can lead to inconsistencies and fluctuations when you need forward action. This is one of those rapid brain aspects that result sharp thinking that appears to be beyond brilliant and more likely psychic- but its very quick deduction that is more likely. It is often accompanied by cutting sarcasm and insults. When moving forward during such a daring aspect it is best to err on the side of caution, as any leap without adequate investigation is cause for a risk not worth taking. Your choices become clearer as the Moon develops later in the week. With the winter solstice at the time of this Mars-Uranus square there are likely to be consequences and further changes in leadership. People drop out or seize the option to jump in at the last minute. You may think that Mercury is retrograde when this pair gets together.

    The end results are very tricky for the Capricorn Moon that hosts both the Sun's sign change and the Mars and Uranus square on Thursday. One marker for the void of course Moon period is the conjunction to Venus at 11:05 a.m. but the Moon is considered still applying an aspect to the Sun at the final minutes of Sagittarius. So until the Sun reaches Capricorn at 7:23 p.m., the Moon is not void of course. What this means is someone very important leaves the scene, the project, the company, the family or the like for a business an executive position or under the advice of corporate logic. The Moon is barely visible just after Wednesday's New Moon making it a good time to receive and not take direct action just yet. Hold off on decisions and forward actions until after the Moon enters Aquarius on Friday afternoon 4:49 p.m. By that time the Moon is in the steady hands of Saturn (contra parallel) at the end of its Aquarius travels on Sunday December 24th and at that exact moment the Moon is sextile Pluto- a fine Moon period to seize an opportunity that places you in a stronger position with lasting results.

    The last note is that of soaring Mercury going beyond the Sun's limits and joining Venus, now out of bounds on the declination scale from December 21 through January 11, 2007. Venus returns from her escapades on Christmas Eve. However, Mercury and Venus join for a wild fling while away on their other worldly trip on December 22nd when an offer of something sweet has a catch. This may also indicate a need to make a decision based on financial reasons. Partnering for money can be one theme that works as long as you don't intend to remain connected for long, as like when things change when one or both of this combo returns to the safety net of something more traditional. I wonder how many new pets are under the tree this Christmas.

    Take a break from the chaos and visit
    Peace Village.

  • Moon Signs & Daily Summaries
    Please read my
    article on Refranations as they are an important astrological event marker.

    New Weekly Feature
    For ease of reading the details of each day, when available or appropriate, follow the daily summary.


    A Day Rating is not intended to describe the feeling of the day or how you will experience that day but offers clues about the end results to your activities if you chose to take a specific action during that Moon sign period.

    A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

    There some very important exceptions:
  • When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.
  • When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

  •  
    These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

    General Notes On Scorpio MoonsScorpio
    - Positive results for efforts.
    Follow a need to release the pressure and stress through Sunday at 11:38 p.m. Go with the flow or use pressure - if you prefer both methods deliver to results, as the more structure you adhere to the better the results you get. Think ahead with today's aspects to next August. How can you make things happen? You have the support. Get creative.

    She is practical and wants to build a future. He's a dreamer and could be left behind if he doesn't get his act together. That's the influence of a Venus and Mars aspect. Motivation to spend is best weighed out for the usefulness in the long run. Your instincts are good and your can find the resources. Decisions about job changes are smart at the end of the week.

    Blue, the color of Monday  Monday, December 18, 2006
    General Notes On Sagittarius MoonsSagittarius
    - Tough yet Positive results for efforts.
    There are complications with authority and red tape is expected but something new brings promise of a better future. Sagittarius famously brings an attitude of the grass being always greener on the other side. A demanding toll keeper is left behind the curtain of a major stage. Is Rumsfeld still running the show in Iraq? The money is hard to find to continue the war, either yours or theirs. You are in the dark. Don't sign anything but your journal. Record your dreams and note how they develop over the next nine months.

    General Notes On Sagittarius MoonsSagittarius
    - Complicated Day. Dark Moon Period.
    There's a compelling need to hold onto the old way. Take a leap of faith and let go. You have a vision. It's unique and easily applied. Try a new audience after Christmas. Write music or see a movie with a friend. Enjoy the magical energy this evening.

    - Good after 11:39 am. Sagittarius Moon is void of course at 9:01 a.m. until the Moon enters Capricorn at 11:39 a.m. Good after 11:39 a.m.
    Today's New Moon is powerful and sets the stage for the solar eclipse in March. Time to gather knowledge and experience. Write for publications and take a new look at an old project. Innovation with a flashback is the key to something outstanding. Not just retro but a mature version of a brilliant seed.

    Green, the color of Thursday  Thursday, December 21, 2006
    General Notes On Capricorn MoonsCapricorn
    - Good results for efforts until 7:22 pm.
    Take care when in motion or with fire and sharp objects. Anger increases your blood pressure but for the genius waiting for inspiration, here is your chance. Technology and advancements of all types are possible. Don't make agreements until the Moon enters Aquarius on Friday. You will become aware of things needed for your next step.

    General Notes On Aquarius MoonsAquarius
    - Good.
    Mercury and Venus are parallel bringing pleasing gifts and announcements that may not develop because the Moon is void of course during that time. However, a long-lasting impact can be applied if you take action after 4:49 p.m., such as a proposal or partnership agreement of any type. The evening is very pleasant and romantic. It is a good time to have fun with friends. Also it is a good day for sales.
