December 2013 – ASTROPRO

On the Pedestal

You start to broaden your thinking to include other possibilities now. Until recently, there seemed to be only one path. There are many options if we are willing to consider them. Take the road less traveled. It may take longer to get there but you will have a greater appreciation of what you have accomplished.

New ideas make an appearance. Allow them to enter your consciousness where you can fully assess their value. Take the time to consider all points of view. This time is important for setting a course for the future. Take deliberate steps to insure your success.

You may have recently had some unexpected developments in your life. It is good that you can exercise patience while putting these new ideas to work. Spontaneity is well prepared. You deal with the unexpected in a new way.

The New Year is a great time to look forward. Don’t dwell on last year’s problems. The future looks bright when you are focused on positive influences. Patience is the only virtue.

The Best Laid Plans of Mice & Men

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Man proposes and God disposes. As human beings we make an effort toward a goal and yet we must allow higher influences to bring about the final disposition. We don’t have total control over our lives and environment. We can only do our best.

The Sun enters the sign of Capricorn which is a Feminine, Cardinal, Earth sign. Sometimes even with the sure footed goat we feel a little wobbly. It’s like the goat has Teflon hooves. That is why Capricorns take their time. They aren’t rushed into making impetuous moves. Go slowly and you will arrive sooner.

In general, the week brings a lot of cooperation from friends and co-workers. It’s as if they want to assist you in finding your way. You may be reluctant to accept this assistance but be gracious and utilize ideas that meet your value system.

This is a good time to decide what adjustments to make for your future. Go step by step and don’t rush the outcome. Allow new incoming information to impress you. Synthesize but also concentrate on the task at hand.

Enjoy the holidays and envision a healthy and happy New Year.

Pandora’s Box

Sagittarius is the most impetuous sign of the zodiac. The Sun is now in Sagittarius and being ruled by Jupiter is fiery and expansive. Sagittarius are very enthusiastic and they are truth seeking. They have a flexible nature but are not terribly diplomatic.

We have a choice between being optimistic and pessimistic. That is our choice. But why not be an optimist, you pay the same price. Double bodied signs such as Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces see both sides of a situation. Both sides have advantages and disadvantages. They make their choices based on what advances their agenda. Truth is illusive for all the signs.

Human beings are tempted and suffer all the evils of the human condition. But like the story of Pandora’s box, at the bottom, there is hope. We are curious creatures and this leads to some unhappiness. Curiosity isn’t enough. We need to have a more serious questioning of life. We need to find our purpose, our reason to be.

Don’t be afraid to dig deeper into your own psyche. The answers are contained in the questions.

Put Some Pepper In It

New ideas are popping up and the need to act on them is strong. You are compulsive when it comes to completing a job. It is important to think before you speak. The tongue is one of our greatest enemies. Why ruin a good thing by speaking your mind. Wait until you feel more settled before going out on a limb. Everyone will appreciate your discretion.

You realize that there are new deadlines to meet. Everything flows easily now and getting things done is no burden. Mars is entering the sign of Libra where you will not feel the need to hold back. Brace yourself for a lot of activity in the coming months. You will be seeing both sides of a situation and you will be in a position to make excellent decisions.

You have been dragging your feet about taking some personal time for a vacation. You now feel liberated enough to plan an interesting adventure. Choose a trip with historical importance. This can be a learning experience that stays with you for years to come.

Go the distance where personal relationships are concerned. Others may be feeling especially sensitive. Don’t push their buttons.

Let’s Make A Deal

It is a good thing the Sun is in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries (lots of enthusiasm and staying power) because the rest of the planets are plumbing the depths of human emotion. You feel a sense of nervousness and angst that will persist until all of these emotions are digested or otherwise dealt with. Many of these feelings are brought on by our inability to cope with hyperactivity and emotional

turmoil.

You have spent many months digging into the unknown past but you should dig all the way. If you dig half way, you won’t get the answers that you deeply desire. Sometimes this process requires meditation and circumspection.

Clearly, when these issues have passed and you start to feel stronger and better about your current life circumstances, you will begin to develop the security that you are driving for. This feeling of security has to come from within. You can’t get it from someone else.

Building up a sense of belonging and finding your right place in society is high on your list of priorities. You want to make a contribution to humanity as a whole but in order to do that you must be on firm ground. You must feel that life and higher influences support you. This is a time to be centered and resist going to extremes. Your hopes and wishes will be fulfilled in the right time.
