” Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work and don’t give up.” Anne Lamott

“Hope is a memory of the future.” Gabriel Marcel

Monday’s Full Moon  at 8 degrees of Gemini is exact at 4:29 AM EST. This Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse which empowers intentions.

It is possible with this influence to fall back into unproductive, old, habitual thought patterns and so it is wise to stay focused on the positive visions you have for your life.  It’s wise to take some time away from the news and social media to nurture your soul life and your soul’s desires by infusing them with positive thoughts and energy.

We’re coming up on the Jupiter Saturn conjunction on the Winter Solstice. This is a harbinger of hope for the future and some astronomers speculate that it was the light from two these planets that the three Wise Men were following on their journey to the stable in Bethlehem.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”An old fashioned well with the purest and coldest of water.’

We’re moving into eclipse season now with a Lunar Eclipse on Monday Nov 30 at 8 degrees of Gemini – the sign of the twins and duality. Eclipses are evolutionary doorways and their effects can be felt in advance of the event as well as following it. The eclipse is exact at 4:29 AM EST.

Throughout this week as well as at the time of the eclipse, Venus in Scorpio will be forming an opposition to Uranus in Taurus. This provides a good time to explore innovative ideas in the realm of relationships and financial matters. There may be some unexpected events in these areas so it’s wise to summon your intuition and have strong boundaries in place throughout this week and next.

The second eclipse- the Solar Eclipse-  is on December 14 at 23 Sagittarius.

The eclipses are leading us up to the Jupiter /Saturn conjunction on the Winter Solstice, December 21. The Jupiter Saturn conjunction is one of the major events of 2020.  This pair is aligned this way every twenty years and signals a more optimistic time  when much needed reforms are put in place.

One of the Sabian symbols for Monday’s eclipse is, ” A medieval archer stands with the ease of one wholly sure of himself, bow in hand, his quiver filled with arrows.”
