Notes on the Week Ahead

“The act of perception is always open- ended and unfinished.” David Abram
There is a lot of planetary activity heading into this week – the Winter Solstice on Monday at 11:49 PM EST as well as the Full Moon and Uranus station on December 25.
Surprises and unexpected events are likely this week – do take more care when traveling and moving about.
Mercury and Pluto continue their conjunction. This offers the opportunity to deepen your thinking below the habitual level of perception. It brings the opportunity to get to the bottom of things and transform limited views.
Jupiter the planet of wisdom, pleasure and abundance is strong in the sky this week – making beneficent aspects to Mercury and Venus. In conjunction with the Full Moon in Cancer on Christmas Day this brings the opportunity for increased pleasure, happiness and abundance in family gatherings. Do steer clear of the dark clouds.
Cancer governs the stomach and digestion and the planet Jupiter governs excess – so do bring moderation to the dinner table.
At the time of the Winter Solstice – Monday 12/21, the Sun moves from the sign of Sagittarius into Capricorn. Sagittarius governs broad visions and expanded horizons in both the inner and outer worlds. A shift in limited perspective can work wonders in this area. As the Sun moves into Capricorn it bodes well to lay the solid foundations for achieving new aspirations. One of the Sabian symbols associated with the Sun’s ingress into Capricorn is,” The human soul, in its eagerness for new experiences, seeks embodiment.”
 
As with the Kings and Queens of old, an Astrologer or Tarot Card Reader should be a trusted ally on your life’s path.

The Winter Solstice

“All thoughts begin in wonder.” Plato
In the chart for the Winter Solstice – said to foretell the energies of  the upcoming three months –  Pluto is conjunct Mercury and Pallas Athene and square Uranus.  Under this influence there is guidance available about how to implement change in your life by deepening or expanding the way you think. Pluto/Mercury aspects are powerful and can indicate resorting to compulsive thought patterns as a habit. But the key to unlocking the gifts of this aspect is to “get to the bottom of things” looking for the areas to where your thinking may have become too narrow, fragmented or limited.
Mercury in Capricorn is like the Emperor card in the Tarot deck. It speaks of maturity, organization, planning and good time management. The Emperor knows how to consolidate power. The next three months provide excellent timing to formulate and put into practice a pragmatic, well organized, long term strategy.
In the Solstice chart Jupiter makes beneficent aspects to the Moon, Mercury and Venus indicating a time that bodes well for increased wisdom, love and artistry. It bodes well to take a  more creative approach to  your projects and initiatives. Watch for intuitive guidance over the next three months that can come in unexpected flashes and provide significant breakthroughs.
We are living in times of great change and it is better to harness the transformative and evolutionary energies – personally and collectively – rather than put up resistance.

Notes on the Week Ahead

“You are not the oil, you are not the air – merely the point of combustion, the flash point where the light is born.” Dag Hammarskjold
 
This week has several interesting aspects. As the Sun moves up to square the Lunar Nodes the time is right for making an important decision. There is extra support from the universe in identifying and moving beyond habitual patterns  – of a karmic or ancestral nature – that can impede your efforts to move in a desired direction.
There is a high vibration of inspiration and energy that can be accessed this week. With the Nodes in Pisces and Virgo it bodes well to create a pragmatic path to ground the vision.
This time of year is akin to Persephone’s journey through the underworld – walking through the darkness. Carl Jung wrote that the yearning for light is the yearning for consciousness.  It bodes well to keep the inner fires burning brightly as we head towards the Return of the Light – the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere- on December 21.
