Pride Cometh Before A Fall

This week has an interesting dynamic as there are 3 planets on Sunday at 12:00 noon that are at 29 degrees. The 29th degree of the sign is considered to be “not polarized enough”. It is neither masculine nor feminine. The Moon is at 29 degrees of Virgo, Venus is at 29 degrees of Scorpio and Pluto is at 29 degrees of Sagittarius. This would seem to be indicative of some archetypal images emerging from the unconscious that have to do with our concept of love. It would reveal the underground workings that influence how we make our choices of partnerships. In other words, it reflects our secrets.

The Sun and Saturn are in exact trine in earth signs so we can count on cooperation from significant sources of authority to help us attain our monetary goals. Although the general always to some degree will limit the particular, we have the power to direct these influences to a positive end.

Overall, the elements of water and earth are dominant during the week so this results in balance. We moderate our reactions so that we don’t alienate others. Contribute to the enjoyment of others by listening as well as talking. There is much camaraderie in allowing others to express their opinion although it may differ from your own.

Do be aware of the occasional lightning bolt that may come your way. Be at the right place at the right time.

I Can See Clearly Now

The Sun, Jupiter and Mercury are conjunct in the sign of Capricorn. Suddenly, we find ourselves developing an ambitious approach to achieving our goals. We have a clear image and we must bring these things to life. Our plans need to be solidified. We must have some tangible evidence of our work.

Saturn is square the Moon and this tends to keep our emotions in check. We don’t want to commit to a direction until we are sure that we can succeed. Sometimes we just have to make a leap of faith. We have to believe in ourselves and move ahead without really being able to see the end result. We can certainly speculate as to what the end result will be but at some point we have to take a chance.

Neptune is square to Venus so our imagination is taking us to magical and creative places but we are fearful of going too far into this mystery as we may not be able to keep our senses.

Mars is retrograde leaving us with few outlets for our energy. There is a build up of emotions and ideas and beliefs. This may be a good time to examine our motives carefully so that we can better direct these energies toward a constructive goal.
Many forces are opposing these energies so it is best to be patient and let ourselves be guided by subtle influences.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

The stellium in Sagittarius – Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto – is a fiery hot configuration. Expect some fireworks nationally and internationally. The pot is finally coming to a boil and hopefully you have been watching carefully. Many alliances come under careful scrutiny during the week. It appears that the powers that be are really more alert than we previously thought. They’ll need to be vigilant in order to keep the peace and make good political decisions.

The Moon conjunct Uranus in Pisces throws a wet towel on some theories that have been bantered around the office cooler. Circumstances fly in the face of commonly accepted rumors and gossip. There are some disturbing revelations for those who haven’t been objective. On the other hand, objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble.

Factor flexibility into your future plans. Things may not occur at the exact moment that you anticipate. Always leave yourself and others some wiggle room. There is a solution to every situation. Be creative and deliver truth through your own example.

This week brings opportunities to the enthusiastic and able. Put your best foot forward and show your charming side as someone may be watching. A feeling of restlessness prevails but you are about to break out of the doldrums.

Under Siege

The week begins with the Sun and Moon in the sign of Sagittarius (A New Moon). This represents a kind of coming together of forces, a union. The new moon is mediated by Mercury in Sagittarius and this gives us a method of balancing our unconscious with our conscious. When we are relaxed, we allow these unknown influences to rise to the surface where we can work with them. There are five planets currently in the sign of Sagittarius and this is beneficial from many points of view. They allow us to travel and see new vistas with new eyes.

Uranus in Pisces is squaring the moon in Sagittarius so you can expect some twists and turns in the road ahead. Don’t get too comfortable with any one point of view then it may be necessary to change directions at the drop of a hat. With all those planets in Sagittarius we need to remind ourselves to be considerate of other’s feelings as it is easy to blurt out some truth that ends up torpedoing an otherwise satisfactory relationship.

Saturn in Virgo is in sextile aspect to Mars in Cancer. Mars is retrograde so it’s energy is being drawn inward. Saturn is keeping all this energy from being disbursed. Be careful not to let it build up in a way that adversely affects your health. Keep a disciplined approach and focus your energies on areas that will bring future benefits. This is an exceptional period of optimism with positive outcomes coming about expeditiously.

Below the Belt

This week keeps you occupied with practical matters. The holidays are coming and there are plenty of things that must be done. The Moon is in Virgo today and this sets the tone for the week. Virgo is a very helpful sign connected with the Sixth House of the archetype. This is the house of service, service to mankind so be kind to your fellow man. It is also the house of sickness. Maybe we have to fulfill this obligation to others and by doing so we insure our own good health.

Jupiter and Pluto are in Sagittarius and according to some reliable sources, this indicates a payday of some sort. Perhaps it is a bonus or something that you have earned and it is going to find it’s way to you. Be careful of what you wish for, you may actually get it. And also remember, no good deed goes unpunished. If we know what we want and have a plan for getting it, this is the best. To be lucky isn’t always lucky.

Everything looks pastoral at the moment. Enjoy this time of peace and harmony. People are complicated but why not just take them at face value. Play life as a comedy and not a tragedy. Be in control of yourself as this is a true power. Some of the most rich and accomplished people do not have control over themselves. If you can achieve self control, you’ll be way ahead of the game.
