December 1-7, 2008 

In review…once again I understated the threat for violence, repeatedly taking out my more urgent conclusions of terrorist threat. My reasoning was to not sound like an alarmist due to so many being optimistic now that the election is over and the holiday season is upon us, or to “layer on“ with the fiscal nightmares. I apologize. While opting for a calmer cautionary tone didn’t make any difference for the poor souls in India (195 dead, hundreds wounded), this weekly forecast is meant to warn of danger or support readers’ plans/goals and there were plenty other incidents this week nationally where this same momentum caused heartbreak. I hope I’m getting closer to learning the lesson to be true to my own instincts and accept (please, God, with humor and humility) that I will never be “politically or socially correct.”

This week…Monday, December 1st brings an astronomical “ah” moment that you won’t want to miss if the skies are clear in your area, and if you’re not blinded by city lights. Moon, Venus, and Jupiter all conjunct right after 10 p.m. (Of course it’s a Capricorn Moon so the planets are also in Capricorn.) We’ve been working toward that configuration for days if you’ve been paying attention and the view has already been a delight. So enjoy! Aspect wise, first, at 2:55 a.m. EST, Capricorn Moon sextiles with Uranus (in Pisces). At 3:44, Venus (in Capricorn) then conjuncts with Jupiter (also in Capricorn). At 7:23, Moon trines with Saturn (back in Virgo and still cleaning house). At 10:08 Moon conjuncts with Jupiter and by 10:44 conjuncts with Venus. The opportunity for romance, for agreements, treaties, good financial progress is upon us. Hopefully, after such a tragic and bitter week, we will make strides in other areas that include beneficial steps for humanity.

Tuesday, the 2nd and Moon shifts into Aquarius at 1:44 a.m. EST and that is all for the day. Why? Because yesterday’s busy work is still getting finalized, and Moon is summoning its wind (energy) for the next twenty-three hours. Pay attention. That’s a serious build-up. Ask yourselves, “To do what?” Very often after these horrific times, we see the best in human nature and I hope there is a Wave of International Grace that sweeps around the globe for if not during this season, then when? Could there be a build-up for retaliation of some kind by India or faction copy-catting? A new wave of billions to rescue some other corporation/industry? New fire concerns for the Pacific? We’ll start to understand by Wednesday.

Wednesday the 3rd launches with the 12:45 A.M. EST, Aquarius Moon sextile with Sagittarius Sun. This is like opening the doors to every prison facility on the planet and saying, “Merry Christmas” to the escaping inmates. Apologies to the evolved souls and those with a modicum of restraint, but the crazies and evil love this energy. By 10:21 the message is delivered in the Moon sextile with Mercury (in Sagittarius). The 11:35, Moon conjunction with Chiron (also in Aquarius) suggests too many are more interested in revenge and wounds than focusing on the fine-tuning of global disharmony. There’s a quincunx at 7:53 p.m. (EST) between Aquarius Moon and Saturn (in Virgo) that can look either strategically clever (if not totally legal) or a bold tunnel-vision coup or assault. This is an event we will again be talking about for some time and have lasting ramifications. At 8:02, Mercury (in Sagittarius) sextiles with Chiron. This Fire and Air energy continues to fan flames, both environmentally and in political and public discourse. Obviously, we don’t know all of the intelligence gathered by India and elsewhere, but be assured the international conduits of communication are abuzz trying to keep one step ahead of whatever is afoot. The 9:14, Moon conjunction with Neptune (also in Aquarius) should be listened to, of course, but trusted? I’m not convinced. Aquarius will play the devil’s advocate just because the opportunity is there and for no more or less a logical reason.

Thursday the 4th and the activity is minimal. At 1:23 p.m. EST Moon enters Pisces. At 1:54 p.m. EST, Pisces Moon sextiles with Pluto (in Capricorn). Relationships remain strained where offenses (genuine and suspected) have occurred. There is the atmosphere for endings--some dissolution of partnerships, some natural deaths coming as a relief, some will feel the hand of Death on their shoulders by their own decision or from a sixth sense. Again, Friday holds answers.

Friday, the 5th and we start with a series of squares. That’s hard core announcements, censure, and some fiery assaults. At 12:52 a.m. EST, Mercury (in Sagittarius) Squares with Uranus (in Pisces). Someone is not getting the big picture and may react or overreact in a costly manner. At 4:25 p.m. EST, Pisces Moon squares with Sagittarius Sun. In a minute, Moon squares with Mars (also in Sagittarius). Yes, the lack of comprehension regarding certain matters is at an all-time high. As a result, the 5:04 the counteraction occurs: Sagittarius Moon conjuncts with Mars (in Sagittarius). Fire, Fire, Fire, and Fire. We can expect explosions--man-made (due to terrorism, mischief, and poor architecture and manufacturing, as well as environmental tragedy. The biggest lesson is that Uranus (in Pisces) is trying to convince us it can do the impossible. History lesson: Hitler had Uranus in Twelfth. If this isn’t another step toward something drastic militant-wise, watch for weather conditions that increase the fire threat where fronts are blasting through.

Saturday, December 6th gets far busier--and considering yesterday’s actions that’s to be expected. Beginning at 1:07 a.m. EST, Pisces Moon conjuncts with Uranus (in Pisces). This could mean a bountiful “drink” where Low Pressure Systems reside--and lots of skiing snow. Some quirky ideas could be launched, too. Look at the 4:27, Moon square with Mercury (in Sagittarius). We can only hope wiser heads prevail. And by 5:36, Moon opposes Saturn (in Virgo). A rejection of law and order and rules has occurred, one that goes deeper than an insult--everything that Friday suggests. The 9:33, Moon sextile with Jupiter (in Capricorn) indicates good merger/contract talks, but at 2:14 p.m. EST, Mercury (in Sagittarius) squaring with Saturn (in Virgo) could warn of backroom or alliance clashes that unhinge a deal. The 7:43 Moon sextile with Venus (also in Capricorn) indicate a good face will still be put on things…for awhile. But at 9:44, Moon shifts into Aries. Unlike other moon shifts where there is an assimilation lull, Aries Moon wastes no time flaming into action and at 10:22 Aries Moon squares with Pluto (in Capricorn). This could be a bloody battle even if only on paper. At 11:37, Mercury then sextiles with Neptune (in Aquarius). Rose colored glasses time to justify what has occurred or to reassure a worried nation. Both concepts underestimate the magnitude of what has occurred and does not serve its citizenry well.

Sunday, the 7th has one aspect, the 6:36 p.m. EST, Venus shift into Aquarius. For the next few weeks expect the offbeat and the downright weird in behavior. While certain individuals can seem charismatic, look deeper to see what is there before investing psychologically into them and what they‘re “selling.” Fire energy rules the month, use it for positive work/project gains, but remain aware that the stressed or embittered can erupt easily.
