The Sun Enters Sagittarius

“Once the game is over the king and the pawn go back into the same box.” Italian proverb

The Sun recently entered Sagittarius and one of the Sabian symbols for this placement is, “Two men playing chess.” This symbol conjures up images of a specific use of the conscious mind involving the implementation of mental strategies for individual gain and individual victory. Some astrologers believe that the upcoming Winter Solstice holds great significance because it calls the end to an old age – the Age of Pisces – and signals the birth of a new one – the Age of Aquarius.The Age of Aquarius represents an important step in the evolution of humanity by encouraging us to unlock and use the vast powers of the mind in a more evolved way to create a holistic, cooperative, harmonious planet. There are no guarantees, of course that the evolution will happen automatically but indications are that our individual thoughts, hopes and visions for the future of humanity and the future of the world do play an important part.The Pluto/Uranus conjunction encourages us to challenge assumptions. Cooperation rather than competition is the Aquarian way.

Mars, Pluto and Uranus

“When you see yourself on a vicious cycle for goodness sakes stop peddling!” Swami Beyondananda*

The current Mars Pluto conjunction (in influence through Dec 8) has a compulsive side to it and is associated with the overuse of force. Many well known athletes have this influence in their charts and the involvement in competitive sports is an appropriate way to channel the energy. This time frame bodes very well for taking up delayed or postponed tasks that require physical strength and energy. It is also a good time to rethink the appropriate use of power.

Avoid rushing. Leave extra time when preparing to go out. Take extra care with driving as Uranian energy is key player as well – ramping up the tendency to impulsive, erratic and thus accident prone behavior.

Scorpio and Empwerment

“Power consists to a large extent in deciding what stories will be told.” Carolyn G. Heilbrun

Mercury is retrograde now in Scorpio joining the Sun, Saturn and the North Node. This notable configuration in the sign of Scorpio – with its laser like ability to penetrate and expose dark places and its legendary transformative powers – makes it a good time to revisit the roots of lost power .It bodes well to look at the stories we tell ourselves about our personal power and its lack in order to reconfigure a more authentic and empowered version.
