As we prepare for this holiday season the winds of change are blowing. December opens with a new Moon in Sagittarius on the 5th of December setting the tone for high energy and forward thinking, aided by sparks of inspiration, perhaps due to the holidays approach or the coming hope for a new year. This new moon gets a little help in stabilization thanks to Saturn. Saturn helps us realize that real change though practical application is possible and can help us make change real.
We also feel the affect of Mercury conjunction to Pluto on the same day, aiding us to focus our thoughts and remove any false hopes that would prevent real growth. This combination can be very direct and straight forward, so be mindful of your delivery... words has the power of the sword. By December 10th, Mercury enters a retrograde phase creating communications challenges and delays are a possibility which can allow time to rethink what it really takes to manifest our dreams.
As the sun leaves Sagittarius and moves into Capricorn on December 21, there is also a a lunar eclipse at 29 Degrees in Gemini. We may find that all the preparations leaves us with little energy. Normally we would be more contemplative and slow down to recharge, however this time is different. While we may be tired, we are eager to press onward. This is due to the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces. Jupiter calls for expansion and Uranus calls for change, in Pisces, there are deep forces at work, pushing us to change our lives.
As the new year unfolds we have another new Moon, this time in Capricorn, on January 4th and it's a solar eclipse which gives it more strength. Capricorn rules Saturn the task master, which can frustrate our ambition and bruise our egos, making it seem impossible to move forward. However, Saturn is asking us to adjust our thinking, be practical and continue to look for answers. We need to reexamine our plans and look below the surface for real solutions that we may have over looked. And with Saturn's position in Libra it reminds us that we are not alone in our journey, part of the walk we take is with others. This may feel foreign to some but the possibility for real change is at hand...
It's time for change allow the winds of change to carry us towards our shared and focused dreams. Remember to breath....
