“A wise old owl sat in an oak.
The more he saw,
The less he spoke.
The less he spoke,
The more he heard.
Why aren’t we all like
That wise old bird.” Nursery Rhyme
“I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.” Oscar Wilde
This week in general it’s wise to take care in conversation. It’s a good time to be patient when communicating and listening to others.
On Tuesday Jupiter in Pisces will form a challenging square to Mercury in Sagittarius at 29 degrees. The 29th degree is associated with fate and destiny. There can be a tendency -with these two signs in this alignment- for conversations to become contentious and overly dogmatic. It offers a good time to observe moderation in speech, as words spoken during this time may have long range consequences.
Mercury will move out of Sagittarius into Capricorn in the evening. Thinking and speech can become less expansive and more grounded and serious under this influence.
The Moon waxes full Wednesday December 7 at 11:08 PM EST. This Full Moon is at 16 degrees of Gemini – conjunct retrograde Mars at the same degree. Both the Moon and retrograde Mars are opposite the Sun at 16 Sagittarius.
Retrograde Mars can stir up anger and repressed anger especially when in partnership with the Moon. It can be a more volatile time when tempers and impulsiveness run high. It can be a bit accident prone as well so it’s wise to take extra care when moving around or driving.
On Friday Venus in Sagittarius will square Jupiter in Pisces at 29 degrees. This combination is good for socializing and having fun – just one caveat – to watch for overdoing as Jupiter’s influence is associated with excess on the eating and drinking front.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”An Easter sunrise service draws a large crowd.”
