This is a season of personal transformation for you, Aries. Your self-expression is blossoming and purposeful, and it's a sexy time for you to be alive. Partners are helpful at this time, but perhaps the most important lesson that they supply you with right now is that for the vital aspects of your development you must go it alone. You are seeking a tremendous ideal of service to the greater collective that seems like a necessity rather than a whim, and it is changing you from the inside out. A year from now or even six months, and you'll barely recognize yourself.

As the month begins, you are alert to the changes that have been going on lately, with you, and with the world around you. This is indeed a profound and exciting time, when much that has been established over past years and even decades is subject to review and outright revision. Within your own personal space, the dawn of a new era is upon you. It begins with a concept of right relationship and continues with a thorough-going transformation of all that you do in the world as a reflection of what you hold deep inside you. Your vision is activated now for a better tomorrow, as has been the case all year; and in the course of this month you will find that the time has come to really step up to the plate and deliver.

The first week of the month, through the weekend and leading up to the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, is an interesting and thought-provoking time, when your perspective is shifting still further, brought on by the rush of events. The days surrounding the 8th constitute a time when the wisdom of your choices really comes to bear upon you; you are more fully conscious of what no longer works for you – without however necessarily coming to a solution. Partnership is powerful at this time, alerting you to the necessity for changes to the structure of your relationships and regarding your own career goals as well.

When the New Moon comes along on the following Wednesday, December 16th, it signals a fresh start in conceptualizing your world. Your vision for the future is strong now, and might be powerful enough to sweep away before it every objection, so that it becomes very important to honor the small voice of critical thinking that is also present in you, perhaps expressed by significant others. This mid-month period is a powerful time, when many things will become clearer, and when action stalls in the face of introspection and deep thinking.

The Winter Solstice of Monday, December 21st, is significant for you also and is preceded by one day with the retrograde of your ruler, Mars, which lasts for several months into March of 2010. During this time your natural inclination will be less rash than your normal impetuosity, so be prepared for that. You haven't lost anything, you are just regrouping. You can use this time most profitably in examining the changes for yourself and for the world around you as we prepare to exit the first of three climactic years leading up to 2012. Each one is a further stage of transformation, for you and for everyone else. In this year-end time, the necessity for deep and dramatic change in both personal and collective life is getting more and more obvious.

All during Christmas week the tension builds, highlighted by the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, Christmas Eve, December 24th. The New Years Eve eclipse and Full Moon of December 31st represents another very powerful time in a powerful turning of the year, as we open up the box of 2010 and all that it might involve, and entail.

Taurus  Taurus Symbol (April 19 - May 19)  Earth.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

Partnership is powerful for you right now, Taurus, and tunes you in to your most idealistic mode of being and doing. Creative conflict is productive of deep-seated changes in how you accomplish your goals. You are seeing the world around you not so much from the standpoint of what is, but rather of what it could become. This goes for you and for others as well. Domestic situations represent issues that could flare up rather suddenly, requiring adjustment. It's all good when you look at it right, and it all contributes to your growing sense that the world could be reborn differently, to the advantage of everyone.

As the month begins, you are entering yet another phase of the series of profound transformations and changes of perspective that you are currently embarked upon, balancing issues of self and other and within that balance seeking new ideals of personal evolution. Perspective shifts lately have been highlighting just where you might be able to find your true calling, but it has been hard to hear the full message. Now perhaps the time has come to move through the rat race maze in a new way. It is exciting to at least contemplate the possibilities.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, you have in a sense come full circle. You are imagining success and that feeds on itself so that it becomes success, but the question is how you define it. It is certain that partnership with significant others is a big part of the story, and with your inner world as well. Spirit illuminates your pathway forward but it is you who must direct your steps as indicated. Freedom is a wonderful thing and as well as being a simple blessing, simultaneously creates an obligation since you now must take responsibility for yourself.

The New Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, December 16th, is a good time for a fresh move. You are in some sense a spiritual warrior these days, an advocate for your own unique brand of healing. This goes for others as well as for yourself, but of course you must be as clear as possible within the confines of your own mind and heart before you are truly effectively available for others around you. This is an extreme time, and calls for extreme solutions, and the moment to act is at this mid-month period, rather than later.

The Winter Solstice of Monday, December 21st, provides excellent food for thought and an opening to a different way of seeing the world around you that changes everything, since vision precedes action.

Then the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, December 24th, is also an intense time, when you will be tested in some way and when you are challenged to step up to the plate and see it through, no matter how difficult that might turn out to be. The retrograde of Mercury that follows the Christmas holiday make the last week of the month better suited for contemplation and preparation along the lines you have already drawn than for leaping off into new directions. The turning of the year is thus a ripe period for introspection and for reviewing and refining your vision. As astrologer Carolyn Casey declares, "imagination lays the tracks for the reality train," so that this period of introspection will eventually play out in terms of action, late in January or even into the spring.

The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of New Years Eve, Thursday the 31st, punctuates this end-of-year period with a call for greater awareness and greater articulation of that awareness, as you move more or less boldly into an uncertain decade.
Gemini  Gemini Symbol (May 20 - June 20)  Air.  Ruling planet Mercury.    Top

You are getting straight on what you want to be when you grow up, Gemini. You are definitely in this for the long haul, and career is only part of the story. Significant partners provide the catalyst for your own process of spiritual and emotional evolution. Your perspective is slowly but surely morphing into something entirely different from your old self, even of a year ago. There is a new softening of your hard edges, and a joy that bubbles up through the greatest difficulty. It's not that challenges no longer continue, just that you find that you can ride them out more successfully. Your vision suddenly clears and everything alters in an instant.

As the month begins, you are open to all your possibilities. This is an impressive ending of the year period that you are entering, and will prove both challenging and productive, especially if you take it seriously. Partnership with significant others is an important part of your current mission statement, and you might find that relationship is helpful not only in providing a mirror for your process of growing awareness but also in creatively expanding your vision to be more inclusive than when based on just your own input. The Full Moon late on the 1st is an important turning point, and takes you into a further phase of learning and growing that doesn't let up for the several weeks into the New Year.

Then the first weekend of December, and the days leading up to the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, may represent a point of tension in your process, as you come to see further into your situation, and will also prove to be a time of great power and beauty as you begin to feel more fully connected to the spiritual underpinning of surface reality. You are a ghost in the machine of circumstance; a spiritual being inhabiting a physical body rather than the other way around.

The New Moon taking place one week later, on Wednesday, December 16th, makes for a fresh start in all that is going on for you internally, and presents you with choices that are cosmically designed just for you and your progress. The world is opening up for you in a new way at this time, with a new vision. Whatever you can imagine now can be turned into action at some point in the future, since believing is truly seeing. Over the next ten days both Mars and your ruler Mercury will turn retrograde, taking this forward-going energy more internal and with greater self-reflection. All through the latter half of December it is a terrific time to journal, and to otherwise discuss and plan. The retrograde period officially starts on the 26th, and goes on for several weeks to mid-January and beyond.

The Christmas Eve First Quarter Moon, taking place on Thursday, December 24th, at the very beginning stages of the retrograde period, represents a wild and exciting time. This is when the impulse arises in you to become your own best advocate, a spiritual warrior for your own unique cause, allowing your inner vision to expand and preparing you for further transformation. Change is a good thing as long as you can get past the fear.

Then as the year and the decade fades away, the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of New Years Eve, December 31st, beckons you onward toward your destiny. The fate that is in store for you in the New Year involves others as well as yourself, and takes intimate communication up another notch or two in the process.

Cancer  Cancer Symbol (June 21 - July 21)  Water.  Ruling planet is the Moon.    Top

You are seeking stability in the midst of stormy weather, Cancer, surfing the waves of change. This is an interesting and in some ways quite a difficult time for you but also one that is full of blessings. There has to be a way that you can find to make your path from the non-functioning present circumstance to the unimaginable future. The steps you take are conscious ones, but unconscious forces drive them, as you undergo your very own velvet revolution. In this process nothing is simple or exactly what it appears to be. You do best by watching and waiting, to whatever extent this is possible, entirely without agenda or expectation.

As the month begins, you are firmly invested in exploring your inner world. This is true even though outer manifestation beckons, especially in terms of relationship and family dynamics. You are still feeling the boost to your self-esteem represented by the New Moon from the middle of last month that took place in your sector of creative self-expression, and have discovered through the intervening perspective shifts that your presentation must involve Spirit as a principle component rather than a bit player. In that context, you are opening to new possibilities of partnership with the surrounding collective and with an inner concept of right livelihood that has been evolving for you over recent months. The wisdom of tribe or family has come to supplant a stricter notion of self-reliance that winds up being more isolating than inclusive.

The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, might provide a moment of tension in your process, and the consequential enlightenment that comes when you least expect it. As you give of yourself and recognize the depth of your connection to others, careful communication is key. You want to be sure to avoid resentment, perhaps by making it your watchword that if it doesn't feel good you won't do it.

The New Moon taking place in the middle of the following week, on Wednesday, December 16th, confirms you in the essentially unworldly turn that life has recently taken for you, and opens new doorways in the same direction. You are drawn now to consider how you can be of actual service to others on the planet and to discover a calling that matches the idealism of your inner vision. Opportunity for growth is massive for you now, but it has to be growth in the right spiritual direction.

The Winter Solstice that takes place on Monday, December 21st, brings partnership more fully into the picture, as you seek allies in your struggle for transcendence.
When the First Quarter Moon hits a few days later, on Thursday, December 24th, there is a time of relative tension that only yields to your making conscious choices. It is important to note that the Mercury retrograde period of time beginning at this juncture will mean that following through with existing plans is a better idea than forging new ones, at least until after the end of January when Mercury finally recovers its lost Zodiacal ground. There is an evolutionary pressure upon you now that lessons when you pick the direction where things are already going and decide to head that way.

The Lunar Eclipse in your sign the last day of the year, on the morning of December 31st, represents a powerful turning point also. You are not just settling for whatever you can get but actively striving to get what you truly need in order to be fulfilled.

Leo  Leo Symbol (July 22 - August 21)  Fire.  Ruling planet is the Sun.    Top

This is a wild and crazy time for you, Leo. It's all stop and go. Your progress is rapid in many ways but sometimes a case of two steps forward and one back. Your self-expression is vibrant through it all and you find that you have a lot to say, although in a serious and practical mode. Your concept of service to others and to the surrounding collective is altering, giving you fresh impetus to find your own unique design for living, while significant partners continue to play an important role. You are seeking and sometimes even finding the ideal form of interaction that provides for your own freedom of action without entirely sacrificing partnership connection.

As the month begins, you are perhaps even a bit started by the extent of your personal creativity, all burners going and the pots boiling away. Relationship is a mystical and a joyous exploration for you right now, and made more so by the developments you will encounter over the course of this month's journey. You are providing for others and for yourself some form of penetrating insight lately that allows you to more fully discern your true calling, and that is a joy in itself as well as a burden. When you find out what you could be doing in the world that natural question arises as to why you aren't doing it – in most cases at least – and then comes the sense of responsibility implicit in taking charge. However, as the adepts say, slowly, slowly!

The Last Quarter Moon taking place on Tuesday, December 8th, comes as a reminder that struggle is an essential and even a natural part of life, and could be accompanied by surprising insights into the arc of your development. That train may already be leaving the station and leaving behind as well its relative safety, but oh, the novel vistas that will follow.

You'll be plunging into new realities still further with the advent of the New Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, December 16th. This represents the real kick-off into the unknown and untested waters of the deep psyche, waiting there for you as they have all along. You are simultaneously examining fresh territory in relationship concepts and healing ancient wounds in that area from the past. Everything can change in a moment when you discover new eyes to see with. Ideas for a calling appropriate to your vision are coming over you at this time and you would do well to heed them. The window for action is now rather than later in the month, when retrograding personal planets indicate that a time-out is called for, rather then a full-court press.

After the 20th and especially after the 26th, it could be the right time to slow down and be contemplative, reflecting on conditions rather than trying to change them. On the 20th, Mars retrogrades in your identity sector and later on, on the 26th, Mercury retrogrades in your sector of everyday activity and discipleship to your higher purpose for yourself.

The Winter Solstice takes place on Monday, December 21st, and this is a powerful time for you and for the planet, as you become aware in greater detail of the necessity that some key element of your structure must change.

The Christmas Eve First Quarter Moon of the 24th indicates a time when the push for action is matched by an equal and balanced call for stillness from within, and when insight puts the brakes on too-precipitous forward motion. When Mercury retrogrades on the 26th, it initiates a period of five weeks or so, past the end of January, when it is better not to push the river.

Then on New Years Eve comes the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon that punctuates this end-of-the-year period with a sense of grace unfolding. Partnership is powerful for you right now, and grants you a sense of the mystical possibilities inherent in your own arc of development as you head into the unknown potentiality of this New Year.

Virgo  Virgo Symbol (August 22 - September 21)  Earth.  Ruling planet Mercury.   Top

Things are starting to become clear, Virgo. You have felt the tides of transformation tugging at your ankles and now you're wading into the surf zone. This would be scary if it were not for what you are gratefully leaving behind in terms of life patterns that no longer work for you. You are feeling the idealization of what you might do in terms of vocation that would be a better match for your true calling, grounded in your inner world rather than anything outer. You are going for what makes sense to change and leaving the rest alone; that's good. Now you just have to muster the good fortune to be able to figure out the difference.

As the month begins, you are very focused on home and family concerns. This is an important time of the year for you, and one in which you are beset with loads of work as well as the blessings and benefits of lots of activity on the home front. This month is also a special time because your ruler Mercury will eventually retrograde, after Christmas, in your sector of creativity and self-expression, giving you a boost of energy for rethinking and reevaluating your position. In the meantime, over these first three weeks, there is opportunity to take well-considered action.

The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, represents a call to something larger than yourself, as you strive to reinvent your approach. You are trying to get to the bottom of who you are and what you can create. Financial issues will continue to plague you until you recognize that your security needs are truly met within your own mind and heart rather than by any external means. The influence of Spirit plays a larger role than you might have previously been willing to acknowledge, as these next few weeks, on into the New Year, will make more apparent.

The New Moon that comes along a week later, on Wednesday, December 16th, presents you with an onrush of energy and fresh perspectives, emphasizing homey concerns of tribe or family and reflective of psychological root questions of the deepest variety. There is a mystical correspondence between these issues and what you feel you must do in the world in order to be truly satisfied, and you are groping toward that connection right now, the ideal of a higher calling.

The week that follows, leading through the Winter Solstice of Monday, December 21st, and up to the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday the 24th, will provide much food for thought, as you attempt to overtly recognize the unconscious forces within the psyche and to take account of their influence in a relatively conscious way. This is powerful medicine, and well worth taking the time for getting it right. You might want to forget about progress for a while and just meditate of where you are headed. With your ruler Mercury retrograde for at least three weeks, actually until past the end of January when you take the period of the retrograde shadow into account, it not the time to push the river, but rather to remain introspective, and to try to be present to whatever comes along.

The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on New Years Eve, Thursday, December 31st, will open you up to all your possibilities and perhaps be productive of sudden epiphany. This is still a wonderful world, in spite of appearances, and provides constant opportunity to transcend the merely mundane and to embrace the miraculous in daily living.


Libra  Libra Symbol (September 22 - October 22)  Air.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

It's been difficult, Libra. You are working through some very important issues lately. The subject of money is on the table for sure, but above and beyond that there is the concept of what makes you safe. Last month you began with a crucial first step; rather than pursuing only what normal consensus thinking would recognize, you are seeking the basis of your security in terms of visionary self-expression and radical creativity. Lightening bolts of newfound awareness are burning off the mist of foggy notions of what doesn't make you tick. Now you are set to begin to discover what does.

As the month begins, you are feeling the pinch of circumstances brought on by financial and logistical issues you are currently experiencing. An essentially artistic tendency that you have right now tends to minimize the practical concerns. There is a struggle going on inside you between the ideal and the real, and it seems at times as though reality was winning. But nothing is as simple as it seems. There are lessons in difficult circumstances that build character, and character is the true gold of your existence. Of course it is also important to not be taken in by illusion, so that finding the right mix is a delicate exercise that is ongoing.

At the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, you are balancing these perspectives and more as you continue to make plans for a more vibrant and heartful engagement with the world around you. There might be a few snags in working things out at this time but also the wisdom to sort out what really counts. Communication is important for you right now, as articulating your ideas gives them currency.

This is even truer with the New Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, December 16th, in your communications sector. The opinions of others are strong at times, but also extremely valuable to you right now, especially if you can accept what is valid for your own process and let the rest go by. This is an important fresh start for you in your struggle to accommodate all kinds of input, including that from your own deep center, the keel and stability of your own arc of development, as you maneuver to keep your ship on course.

With the advent of the weekend of December 19th and the Winter Solstice a few days later on Monday the 21st, you are deeply involved in finding your own precise perspective on major changes that you are going through. Forward momentum may be less important now than getting it right for the sake of the future. You are exploring all your possibilities, and weighing the result, and fantasy counts almost as much as the doable. As well as allowing your mind to take fantastic leaps, you may need to exercise caution but you have that also in abundant supply.

During the last week of the year, beginning with the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, December 24th, all these ideas come to a head. You are definitely going through quite a lot of soul-searching at this time, as you seek to redefine yourself in some way.

A difficult passage climaxes in the Full Moon eclipse of New Years Eve, Thursday December 31st. This entire end-of-year time is a soul-defining effort, and yet also packs a lot of joy into the notion that things can truly change for you. It is good of course to also be aware that nothing changes without a struggle. This is a joyous battle however, one in which you are lured on by the promise of a brighter tomorrow on the other side of this particular rainbow.

Scorpio   Scorpio Symbol (October 23 - Nov 21)  Water.  Ruling planets Mars, Pluto.   Top

You are having the time of your life right now, Scorpio; it's a new universe out there that awaits you. Your work is not only all-consuming, but has a visionary flair to it, especially after the middle of the month. Right from the very beginning of December you are stirring up issues of self and other and settling into a spiritual connection with family and tribe. You are working hard and sometimes it feels like you are not getting anywhere, but this is wrong. Illuminating inner realities is also an important task, and one that serves you well as you head into the New Year.

As the month begins, you find yourself in the midst of an exciting time, as you begin to see your possibilities blossom that were only implied in the last two weeks of November. Your ruler Mars in your career sector indicates that you are plenty busy at the moment, full of the requirements of the outer world. Yet, in some sense, you are in the world and not of it as well; partaking of a spiritually rich inner world at the same time as you perform and frolic in the outer one.

The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, might give you pause, bringing a momentary spot of tension to your dealings with others and forging the wisdom of greater awareness as you look more deeply into what works for you right now and what does not in your process of growth. You have a penetrating mental capacity and communication style at this time which might get you into trouble occasionally but which also serves you well as you consider your choices in the changed atmosphere of greater knowledge.

With the mid-month New Moon taking place on Wednesday, December 16th, there is a fresh burst of energy to deal with security and other issues. There is a sense of idealism that pervades your thinking now, and also a sense of bewilderment regarding what are perhaps too many choices. The energy that you are feeling at your core at this time is literally out of this world, and represents a departure from the busy-ness of the world as usual. It is wonderful and magical but there can be confusion. At the same time, on the outer levels of your being, you are very investing in actively pursuing a sense of financial gain and long-term safety. Security in the financial sense is only one part of the puzzle, and you are finding that your ideas in this connection can transform along with everything else in your life these days, allowing for the concept of discovering true security in terms of the spiritual structure of your life.

The picture gets murkier with the retrograde of your ruler Mars on Sunday, December 20th. The days surrounding this event constitute a strange time when you life seems to run backwards. Mars will be retrograde well into March of 2010 but by that time you will be used to it. It is the transition that is the hardest part. The Mars retrograde, and the Mercury retrograde that follows about a week later, symbolize an introspective period of time when it is recommended that you reflect on where you have been lately in your life rather than promote new ventures.

The week leading up to Christmas day is punctuated by the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, December 24th, when your communicative ventures might run awry in some way, so that you win when you pay careful attention to everything that you say. Then the Lunar Eclipse of New Years Eve, December 31st, represents another powerful time, when your outreach to others is maximized and when productive insights are born inside you. The world around you becomes more purposeful, leading into the New Year.

Sagittarius  Sagittarius Symbol (Nov 22 - Dec 20)  Fire.  Ruling planet Jupiter.   Top

You are coming at the world a little differently these days, Sagittarius. You are truly the butterfly spreading new and uncertain wings after a recent period of hibernation. Your communication is visionary and inspired, and takes you into unknown inner spaces for everyone's benefit. The connections that you continue to forge with others are helping you to unfold from your chrysalis. It is a season of change that is upon you now, and you are rewarded when you make the least initiating gesture toward something new. That initial step you take is crucial even if it subsequently turns out to be in a wrong direction for as the poet says there is boldness and magic in it.

As the month begins, you are experiencing the fulfillment of a quest that is essentially spiritual, and your communicative outreach reflects this fact. You are dealing with issues of balancing self and other at this time, more or less successfully. There is a mystical fog surrounding your contacts with others that could lead you into snares of illusion or even outright deception, but on the other hand you are also embracing a practical and real-world approach to your societal connection in general, and to group activities that you currently participate in, that serves you well amidst the potential confusion of your thought process.

The Last Quarter Moon of second week of the month, taking place on Tuesday, December 8th, presents you with a few bumps in your road; perhaps some conflict might come up between professional and private life or interpersonal relations might have some shaky moments. You are in a mystical place of almost psychic attunement at this time, and while the ground beneath your feet is a trifle unsteady, there is added value in terms of your connection to the universe and insight gained.

The New Moon that follows one week later on Wednesday, December 16th, gives you a burst of energy for both otherworldly and more mundanely social projects. This is a terrific time for ritual magic, or for mystical writing of any kind. This is a week when you might profitably blog, or journal for yourself alone, and there will be a large dose of cosmic consciousness running through it all. This is an extremely active time for you and one that is productive of great shifts in perspective.

The following week provides further excitement as the period from the Winter Solstice on Monday, December 21st to Thursday, the 24th, is an especially intense time of growth and change. You are dealing with your concept of security right now, and what makes you feel safe. There is a way that you are currently restructuring how you connect with the surrounding society in general and you are still formulating your response to this at the feeling level.

Then the Full Moon eclipse of Thursday, December 31st, puts you smack in the middle of your process, kicking off your New Year. Another eclipse takes place mid-January, and the intervening period will be profound.

s When Mercury retrogrades on December 26th it puts you in a place of thoughtful reflection – rather than outgoing progress – that will last all through January. Since Mars is also retrograde at this time, there is a general slow-down. This is fine as long as you realize that you just will not get as much done over the next few months as you have in the first three weeks of this one.

Capricorn  Capricorn Symbol (Dec 21 - Jan 19)  Earth.  Ruling planet Saturn.   Top

This month represents a pause in the volatile series of events that have been coming down lately, Capricorn, a sort of time-out that you didn't even have to call. Until the Winter Solstice transpires on the 21st you can use this time profitably to gather your strength for your next phase. The thorough-going transformation that you are currently engaged in may be far from over. In the meantime, hard work and plenty of it continues, plagued only by the natural questioning that comes from not being totally sure about your direction. You win when you move forward as best you can with a positive agenda but with little or no attachment to any conceivable outcome.

As the month begins, you are dwelling in the paradoxical situation of a great deal of presence in the practical world, coupled with influences that take you to the inside, away from it all. This Christmas you are feeling the spirit of the season in more ways than one, both in activity and in the silence of the depths within you. Of course it is important to heed these inner voices, but don't forget that it is also important that you heed the call of the world all around you and shine in that regard also. We don't get to have it just one way. There is definitely pressure upon you to achieve as well as to ponder.

This issue is accentuated at the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, when you will feel to some extent the conflict inherent your situation, and also the dawning perspective that makes it all part of a bigger picture that even begins to make sense of it all. This is when you might reflect on what pieces of everything that you have been up to are truly viable. This is also a time when the glimmer of an idea might emerge regarding your true calling in this world. In general there is quite a bit of food for thought available to you throughout the month, especially in its final days when Mercury retrogrades in your sign.

The mid-month New Moon that takes place on Wednesday, December 16th is one highlight, when powerful feelings are invoked that encourage you on a soul journey to inner rather than outer realms, and when the world is very much with you also. Some voice inside you is asking you to remain as conscious as possible in your choices, as you continue to change and grow in the final month of what has been an entirely transformative year.

The Winter Solstice, when it comes along at the beginning of the following week, on Monday, December 21st, repersents another accent mark on what you are already well-aware of, that not only the times are a'changin' but you right along with them. The evolutionary pressure is strong on you at this time, but things become much lighter when you make that subtle turning within yourself that decides to just go with the flow. This is much easier than bucking the tide, as you have been discovering in fits and starts all year long.

The First Quarter Moon of Thursday the 24th, Christmas Eve, is another important turning point when you might be compelled to recognize how vital are the changes that you are going through for your continued well-being, remember also that the deeper meaning of vital is to be life-enhancing.

One week later, the Lunar eclipse of December 31st that jolts you into the New Year represents another powerful time, when you will be asked by the universe to step up to the plate and swing away. As Dylan put it during the climactic era of the sixties, a period of time that is very similar to the chaos and potential creativity of these next few years, "everybody not busy being born is busy dying;" and that includes especially you, dear Capricorn.

This is an exciting time for you, Aquarius. Your oncoming next phase includes forming a new vision of the world around you as well. Your work in the world is currently blossoming along with your finances, but what might prove to be even more important is everything that is going on behind the scenes. You are coming to a new conception of the interaction with the emotional riches at the deepest levels of your being, and simultaneously looking in as well as looking out. After the mid-month New Moon you will be full of dreams and schemes to pursue, and it is important that you pursue them, but you are also in the process of becoming increasingly aware that mystical ideas rule.

As the month begins, you are riding the wave from the middle of last month of the New Moon in your career sector. You are on the one hand very gung ho right now and bullish on getting things accomplished, but on the other you are simultaneously more dreamy and not entirely of this world. There is a mystical sense of idealism present in you these days, bordering on illusion, that is appealing but perhaps not as practical and grounded as you would like, and that counters a more realistic approach to getting where you actually want to be.

The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, may present you with a moment of tension in your process of growth and change. Perspective shifts with increased awareness. You are dealing with the input of others around you in a new way and there could be glitches to contend with. You may also be facing up to old wounds from the past to your self-esteem, and attempting to move beyond them. Nothing that exists within your psyche is exactly as it seems, and you are never angry for the reason that you think you are.

At the time of the New Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Wednesday, December 16th, there is fresh energy for your various approaches. This is a terrific time of visioning a more fulfilling future for yourself. You are seeing more clearly right now into a future that you can really live with, and you have plenty of energy for starting to complete this vision, although the window of time to act is short, since you will probably slow down into a more contemplative stance when Mars and Mercury retrograde toward the end of the month. There is a unique path toward wholeness that is opening up for you right now and it is your task to find it.

When the First Quarter Moon appears in the following week, on Thursday, December 24th, there are likely to be some bumps in the road as you more clearly into what does and doesn't work for you, and as you absorb the systemic difficulties in your approach. You are entering into a quiet period of time when gazing within and meditating on your situation is more productive than trying to push things through to completion.

Mercury retrogrades on the 26th, and Mars has already been retrograde for a week by this time, the Sun has entered your sector of inner imagination and all three of these configurations indicate a period more suited to introspection. The Lunar Eclipse of New Years Eve also finds you more attuned to inner than to outer realms. This will be a contemplative and thought-provoking New Year celebration as you ease into the largely unknown territory of 2010.

Pisces  Pisces Symbol (Feb 19 - March 19)  Water. Ruling planets Neptune, Jupiter.   Top

You are feeling quite strongly your connection to your spiritual roots, Pisces. Along with this sense of the numinous come intuitive and sometimes contradictory impulses. Ideas flash into consciousness and it seems like you are on the move, then just as suddenly fade away into the ether. You are feeling the need for action, and yet remain unsure of exactly what that action might be. The secret lies in letting go. You will be launching yourself into many new directions, especially after the middle of the month, but you must remain detached from any particular outcome, allowing the wisdom of the universe to decide your final course.

As the month begins, you are enjoying the crowning of new point of view that enables you to see beyond this present horizon and into a more fulfilling future. Worldly success is available to you now in some form, although difficulties remain. You are also more fully committed to your own unique path; a belief system that matches your high ideals. The goal is that you somehow unite heart and mind. You are perhaps feeling a bit alienated at the moment, trying to find a spiritual connection to your inner world that will enable you to reconcile the two and coming up short. It could also be that there will be some serious healing involved over the course of this current month. This could involve past patterns of behavior that were appropriate to their time but that now no longer serve you. Even though they may be buried away in your unconscious and therefore not easy to access, you will likely come to understand these issues better, and as you do, healing results.

The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, represents a time of tension in your process of increasing awareness, and a time when you are gathering together the wisdom to make the right choices. This process could be regarding your calling, and the way that you plug yourself into the surrounding social order. There are surprises in store for you at this time that will bring you to a better understanding of exactly where you need to modify your approach.

With the New Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, December 16th, there is fresh energy for a new way of showing up in the world, one that is more consistent with inner principles. You will likely encounter allies at this time – and also the angel voices of your inner guides – that will help you along your way.

The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, the 24th, is another time of relative tension in your process, when the rubber meets the road in terms of changes that you are interested in making in your life and when you will experience the natural growing pains of any new system. Your mental picture of a future that you can really live with is very active now. It is important that you heed this vision, even though it may differ from your current course of action. You are on the cusp of huge opportunity even though it might be difficult at this time to really see it.

Things could shift into a more contemplative stance for you two days later, on the 26th, when Mercury retrogrades in your sector of future plans. This introduces a period of time when perception triumphs over action, lasting until at least the end of January when you take the period of the retrograde shadow into account. Mars is also retrograde at this time, so that forward momentum slows in general. During this period, it is better not to push ahead with any sudden departures from existing plans if you can possibly avoid it.

The Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of New Years Eve, December 31st, is another powerful time for you, although colored by the retrogrades, not therefore a time for direct action. You are looking more closely into what really matters for you in terms of career and calling, and attempting to merge the two concepts into one coherent vision.

Overview of the Planets this month:                                Top

The Astrology of December features Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Pluto with the last gasp of the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune also making an important appearance. Mercury retrogrades on the 26th – with all the usual symptoms of missed communication and mechanical failures – making the last part of December and all of January a useful time for reflection and introspection. Mars is also featured by retrograde this month, a fairly rare occurrence. He turns retrograde on the 20th, and leading up to this date moves much more slowly in the heavens, becoming for the moment a slow-moving, almost an "outer" planet. It is theorized that the speed of a planet has a relationship to its astrological impact, so this month is a perfect time to test that idea. From the New Moon of December 16th to the end of the month Mars moves only a total of three degrees: two degrees forward and one degree back.

Once into January he starts to pick up speed, but he is still moving backward! This means that outer motivation and the urge to go out and accomplish things will be turned inward throughout the last ten days of the year and on into March of 2010. From mid-December onward we might expect to see our motivation slowed and our outlook more serious. This is especially true for anyone with planets in their chart within a few degrees of 19 in a Fixed sign – that's Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio. Since Mars makes an aspect to Uranus when he stations on the 20th, there is also the possibility of rash and ungoverned action during the last half of the month, and we will do well to keep our impulses in check. Mars also opposes Chiron over this period, so that it is possible that we could now see further into dysfunctional patterns of assertive and ego-oriented behavior perpetuated by ourselves and by our culture, including fears of self-assertion stemming from our early conditioning.

With Jupiter and Neptune currently aspecting Chiron by conjunction we will find also the possibility of redemption and of transcending of these wounded places.

The Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune conjunction becomes quite close during the first half of the month especially, putting us in mind of how far we have come in dealing with the spiritual issues that we face as a society, and how far we still have to go. Jupiter is conjunct Chiron exactly at the very beginning of the month, namely at the time of the December 1st Full Moon. Since Eris and Mars are also in this picture we might want to beware of being overly reactive all during December.

Then by the December 16th New Moon which aspects the triple conjunction, we find Jupiter occupying the midpoint of Chiron and Neptune, a mere degree from each, bringing back the configuration that was also active last May and June. There is optimism in this configuration, and also the recognition that whatever spiritual path we are on is our own, and that we simply cannot blend in with consensus thinking or naïve assumptions about the way our dreams might have worked out. As a culture, we are joyful to an extent at this time, and hopeful for the possibility of a recovery, but we are also saddened by the thought that we can never go back, that we are irrevocably past a certain kind of innocence.

The eclipses of December 31st and January 15th are powerful, and represent a useful time for looking back over the first ten years of this new century. This is due to the retrogrades of Mercury and Mars, and also due to the Saturn-Pluto square that continues in full swing all through December. This square is powerfully activated at the time of the Quarter Moon of December 24th, and also by the eclipses of December 31st and January 15th. With Mercury and Mars both retrograde at this time, there is likely to be more reflection than action, but it will be a time of profound reflection indeed. Then, and all through this period, we are being made profoundly aware that something is changing, and changing utterly, in the structure of our lives and of the life of the surrounding culture. This represents another unfolding phase of what has preoccupied this country and indeed the entire world since 9-11. Then too, a certain kind of innocence was lost, that time in a cataclysmic event which forever changed the parameters of our lives. This end-of-year time in 2009 is when the reality of this event and our response really sinks home, and when we might begin to navigate the transformed territory that is left behind in its wake.

This end-of-the-year period is also a time when the rubber truly meets the road with respect to the transformation that we are all experiencing. It might be said that the time has come to face the music. The First Quarter Moon of the 24th is one climax of the last ten days of the month, but another comes when Mercury retrogrades on the 26th, the day after Christmas, making it not such a good time to get things done, and just when being productive is perhaps needed most. The entire lead-up to the New Year is somewhat frustrating, with the New Years Eve eclipse and Full Moon on the morning of the 31st likely to be even more so. This New Years is therefore an excellent time to stay home and reflect on the profound journey that you personally and we as a culture are in the midst of. It is a good time for ritual; not a good time to party like it's only 1999.

Current Moon Configurations

December 1st Full Moon
The Sagittarius Full Moon is accompanied by the entrance of Venus into the same sign, while Jupiter forms an exact conjunction with Chiron in aspect to the nodal axis. We might be more inclined to question ourselves and our capacity for remaining wounded by the world, but we also have the ability to transcend that notion and rise above our former limitations. Saturn with Pluto all month long gives a different and more dire picture, but one that yields when we allow to simply take place the structural shifts that are demanded of us over the course of this important month.

December 8th Last Quarter Moon
This is an important configuration in which the Sun and Moon make a T-square with Uranus so that anything can happen. We may be subject to surprises at this time, and sudden enlightenment is certainly not out of the question. With Mars in aspect to Uranus also, accidents are another possibility so that it pays to be extra careful on the roads and in controlling reactivity.

December 16th New Moon
This powerful Sagittarius New Moon exactly sextiles Jupiter and Neptune, now almost exactly conjunct each other in Aquarius. This creates an impulse toward the mystical side of life rather than the merely mundane. Venus nearby is also almost square a stationing Mars, emphasizing beauty and compassion, and the practice of right relationship with others around us. A Grand trine in Fire with Eris and Mars emphasizes growth and process over sitting back and waiting, and perhaps also indicates a propensity for over-exuberance at times during this mid-month period.

December 21st Winter Solstice
The entrance of the Sun into Capricorn is always an important time, but this year even more so, since the ruler of Capricorn, Saturn, is square to Pluto in the sky. The Sun joins Pluto in Capricorn within a few degrees and the heat of personal transformation is turned up another notch. The structure of our lives is encouraged to shift, and perhaps not very gently either.

December 24th First Quarter Moon
The Sun exactly conjuncts Pluto in this powerful configuration. Mars is also retrograde in Leo, where it will remain for months, and Mercury is about to station. These retrogrades will make things both slower and more reflective, and the emphasis on Pluto means that there will be a strong impulse for transformation also. We are stewing in our own juices at this time, turning on the spit until we come out just right.

December 26th Mercury SR
This time Mercury stations retrograde exactly conjunct the nodal axis, which is powerful in and of itself, and also in aspect to both Mars and Eris. There could be a reactive stance taken by folks at this time, and also the determination to make it happen in whatever way necessary. Since both Mercury and Mars are retrograde however, it would be well to hold your horses and await events rather than trying to push the river. Mercury straightens out on January 15th, and then finally leaves its retrograde shadow late on February 3rd. Up until that time there are better indications for reflection and introspection than for direct action.

December 31st Full Moon
This important eclipse is accompanied by another on January 15th, making this turning of the year a special time. Given the retrogrades of Mercury and Mars it is an introspective one as well. Four planets plus the North Node in Capricorn make it a practical and serious period when we must face ourselves deeply, and when relationship with each other matters more than ever.
