The firestorm is not quite over. After a power packed month of controversy and stress, we have a new Moon in Capricorn conjuncting Pluto on the 13^th. The changes that have been brewing are now, essentially, “etched in stone.” The day after the new Moon on the 14^th Uranus turns direct in Taurus. Taurus rules our finances, possessions, resources, and how we value ourselves. Uranus manifests unexpected and/or sudden changes. Three days after turning direct Uranus is Squared by Jupiter from Aquarius. This will bring tremendous pressure on how we view and handle those Taurean qualities. The square of Jupiter in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus makes those resources accessible to those who aren’t within the sphere of those who we consciously and willingly support.

We may now have less of a say in how our resources are applied by those outside of our family unit. Since our bodies are part of our possessions and resources, we may have even less of a say in who has access to ...

December is going to be a power packed month. Mars has turned direct on November 13^th and a lunar eclipse in Gemini occurred on the 30^th. This sets the stage for new directions, good and bad, for months, even years, to come. In Gemini it brings an intensification of all sorts of turmoil relative to communication – ballots, counting, litigation and media. The 14^th brings a tidal wave of changes continuing on the 17^th, 19^th, and the 21^st.

The solar eclipse on the 14^th is in Sagittarius. This brings crises’ in culture, values, customs, and education (including media). But, based on the changes demanded by the “modified” opinions of the general public by the media, the conflict has become overwhelming and intolerable. The year’s buildup of venom and resentment have created an explosive atmosphere.

On the 17^th and 19^th, respectively, Saturn and Jupiter move into Aquarius. The implications for social unrest and scientific emphasis are staggering. Saturn is...

No one is who they appear to be. You will know others by their works not their words. There are a tremendous amount of people telling you what to do, think, feel, and want. The truth is, they do that to see what you choose. Why?

Because they don’t know for themselves and have forgotten how to choose based on thinking for themselves. This month and all that is happening will leave many people feeling like they’re a basket case. Not only are Saturn and Jupiter moving into Aquarius on the 17^th and 19^th respectively, but we have Jupiter conjuncting Pluto in Capricorn again on the 12^th, Mars going direct in Aries on the 14^th, Neptune turning direct in Pisces on the 29^th and we have a lunar eclipse occurring in Gemini on the 30^th. Talk about a power packed month…or powerless depending on how you look at it. Where do we begin?

When it’s storming outside, it’s best to go inside. This is our first step toward sanity. We can’t push against the river, but...

This year it’s all about relationships and communication. At this point, you may have some wisdom, but ask yourself, do you have a need to control the conversation? Your third house of communication is loaded with planets activating your organizational skills, choices of what you will sacrifice and what you’re willing to work for. How strong is your push to dominate due to your feeling that you must show others that you have it all together or might not if someone interferes?

You also have things happening in your relationship house which is intensely connected to your communications. This is a time of sorting out who you think will be useful and who you will allow to teach you lessons about yourself. Of course, they won’t be allowed to know that they’re doing that, but nonetheless you may acknowledge, if only to yourself, that they are teaching you something about yourself and what might make a growth oriented relationship work for you.

Our finances and resources have been on shaky ground for a while now. Now is the time to take a good look at how we want our security to stack up. A lot of this shifting has been happening through our career and the public things that we have been attempting to accomplish. With the Sun having moved into Virgo, earth take precedence in the elements and practicality is easy to see and plan for. Use this time wisely while things are in full view.

On the 11^thMars moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius. Look at love received, and resources earned from your career. Is it how you want it to be? If not, now is the time for negotiations.

With Saturn and Pluto remaining in Capricorn in the house of career, whatever you decide to do should fit the rules that apply to your career and your social standing. Political correctness is in the forefront, but you must judge how much you will allow it to influence your public actions.

Children are coming more and more into the limelight. The nodes are...
