With a giant SWIRL of energy, the heavens shift into NEW energetic configurations that we will work with until mid-September 2015. This week is a three-page week, meaning when I print out the heaven’s aspects to write about, there were three pages…. The usual week has one and a half pages. So expect to be SUPER busy, VERY rocking/rolling and FAST moving this week….

Sagittarius is all about vision, hope, and rebirth after the ending energy of Scorpio. We focus on our vision for our future. We celebrate the resurrection, the redemption and the continuation of life. Imagine a room full of flickering candles. Fire can share its energy without being diminished.

Jupiter stations to go retrograde until April 7, 2015 on Monday, December 8 at 22 Leo. We feel the intensity of his station five days before and after Monday~ from last Wednesday, December 3 to Saturday December 13. Pressure builds and shifts. It is a GOOD pressure but a pressure none-the-less as the Great Benefic shifts his focus. Jupiter’s stopping AMPLIFIES all the planets in Sagittarius and Pisces as their ruler is stopped. A cosmic time out. Jupiter reverses and retraces his steps back to what was going on at 12:35 Leo ~ around September 11/12, 2014.

At the same time Jupiter stops, Saturn finishes with the “clear patch” of sky he’s been traveling through. So starting this week, everything can (and probably will) be renegotiated until next fall. We finished the “commit-and-be-done-for-the-next-29-years-section” and enter the “figure-it-out-and-make-some-changes,-renegotiate,-revise,-make-some-MORE-changes,-and-then-for-the-third-and-final- time- make-MORE-changes-and,-go-forward-to-what-you-REALLY-want!” Saturn will move back and forth between 28:16 Scorpio and 4:55 Sagittarius until November 8, 2015. Three passes, three wishes, three strikes and you are either out or on base… you know the drill.

Mercury and Venus are BOTH out of bounds. Communications and relationships are not following the rules. They are overdoing energy ~ over emotional, over the top, over excited, over compensating ~ over, over, over! Watch for out of control FIRE ENERGY ~ don’t leave candles or fires unattended!

There is a huge Grand Trine in Fire with the Sagittarius planets Mercury, Sun, Ceres, and Venus trine to stopped Jupiter in Leo with Juno and trine to Uranus, South Node, and Eris in Aries. Fire Grand trines by their very nature are out of control. Fire is a masculine, YANG energy that consumes. You can run out of energy so leave space in your calendar for rest. You can have unexpected “fires” to put out in the houses in your chart ruled by Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. And truth be told ~ you are going to spend most of the first half of 2015 cooking with these fires in those houses so you might as well settle in for some heat!

Monday and Tuesday are great days to get things accomplished with Moon in her dignity trine to Saturn in Scorpio ~ emotional clarity. Wednesday and Thursday the Moon have crappy closing aspects of a psychological square to Saturn. People are going to be highly reactive to disrespect, disloyalty, underhanded approaches and more often than not will project their issues onto the other. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Virgo Moon are busy with a productive and creative aspect to Saturn.

Venus in Sagittarius is out of bounds and enters Capricorn on Wednesday at 11:42 am EST. She is out of bounds until December 25, 2014. Expect people and financial matters to be a bit wild and out of control in matters of love, money, passions and desires most of the holiday season.

How to work with her? Venus without limits or restrictions from the Sun tends to rock our world. She gets more serious and focused once she enters Capricorn. She pushes rather hard for what she wants. Love can get serious FAST as she aspects the Nodes of Destiny and connects with Neptune. Expect passion, relationships, and ah-ha moments from the Goddess of Love.

Mercury is out of bounds until January 1, 2015. Complete frankness and outspoken energy all week. Liars and cheats get caught, outed and face the consequences ~ especially in the court of public opinion. How to work with Mercury when he’s in his detriment and out of bounds? Speak your truth and only tell your truth! If you are walking on a slippery slope of truthiness ~ be prepared to start slipping down it! If someone looks shocked at what you say, circle back and ask them what they heard… expect more misinterpretation than a mercury retrograde! And there can be computer problems. Back those computers up!

Sun and Mercury are traveling together. Mercury joins the Sun so folks think they are right. Combust Mercury out of bounds can result in shocking news or unexpected changes that appear out of nowhere. And it can be GOOD news out of nowhere too! Be careful driving as folks are distracted. Mercury, Ceres and the Sun aspect the Nodes of Destiny this week on Monday and Tuesday so make sure to follow up on all connections, get the business card, touch base, pitch the deal or go for what you want. Excellent timing! Launch the project. Get creative stuff out the door and in front of someone. Juno aspects the Nodes on Wednesday so deals can take place then too ~ just try to not sign until Friday’s better aspects.

Uranus and Pluto square each other for the sixth out of seven squares next Monday, December 15, so expect their tensions to continue to build, build, build. This can show up as anxiety or lack of sleep. Plus a pushing, crazy making schedule. Leave holes and blocks of time UNBOOKED as things will pop up and demand that attention be paid. Right now, Pluto is direct and Uranus is retrograde which is playing out in our culture as the recent decisions in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York about police (government power ~ Pluto) not being held accountable for (square) actions that suppress the freedom and take lives of black men (freedom for all of us ~ Uranus). New York had protests and die ins last week all over the place as people of all races, ages and demographics took to the streets with indignation. What is our vision.

Uranus and Pluto square each other and ask us to evolve. So expect an evolutionary push this week as their tensions build. Where do you find yourself wanting to run away and join the circus (or lay down in the streets in rebellion)? Where do you want to exercise power or feel power being exerted on you? What is the evolutionary steps you need to take?

Uranus square Hygeaia on Friday so deal with health matters immediately. Do not fool around with this energy. Combined with his square to Pluto, a very volatile and deadly t-square of health is forming. So off to see the doctor(s) even if you think it is nothing.

Void Moons in the Week Ahead: When the Moon is Void, it is wise to avoid making important decisions as they tend to be unrealistic, and subject to false starts, errors or unexpected hassles. Avoid being concerned with things beyond your spiritual center. It is time for subjective, spiritual and non-materialistic concerns. Kick back, let life flow, and center yourself. Connect into your essential oneness with the Universal Forces.

We have an opportunity to look at the “movie trailer” of Saturn’s upcoming journey through Sagittarius. Currently, Venus, Sun and Mercury are moving through Sagittarius and offering a sneak peak at the next two and a half years of Saturn’s journey.

So get pen in hand and make some notes! Look at what went on in your life on these days to see what Saturn will have you work on for the next few years. Venus represents the financial, love and desire areas. Sun represents the ego development and how you “shine” in the world. Mercury represents communications, siblings and connections. Take a peak at what has been going on in THOSE areas of your life on these days to see how Saturn will ignite your world….

This is similar to the exercise we did in September 2012 to map Saturn in Scorpio. Back then, we watched Mars roll through Scorpio to anticipate Saturn’s upcoming journey. Now, as is natural with Jupiter’s expansive energy, we have three, count them, THREE planets to watch to see how things are going to move in our world once Saturn starts making the changes in our life.

Moon day Monday December 8, 2014 ~ Moon is in Cancer and goes void Trine to Saturn. This is one of the most productive days of the year. Lots of excellent aspects as Jupiter stations to turn retrograde. Sun’s union with out of Bounds Mercury encourages focused attention (as much focus as a candle can HAVE). Neptune’s active today inviting you to push the dream or the dream deniers into their proper places. What we focus on, we bring into our lives. People think they are “RIGHT” because the Sun and Mercury are in the sign of righteous beliefs answering to stationing Jupiter in Leo. Creativity feels a bit off the charts so make sure to jot down all the stuff you want to focus on. Ceres connects with Nodes of destiny so nurture those creative projects. You can get a huge jump on them today. Mercury is in the mood to talk about future projects with you tonight. Make a bit of time for him. He’s following the rules right now. Creative collaboration today and tomorrow.

Mars’s day Tuesday December 9, 2014 ~ Moon is in Cancer and goes void Trine to Saturn at 07:15:33 pm EST. Moon enters Leo at 10:15:12 pm EST and goes void Square. Tuesday doesn’t have many aspects but does have that lovely trine from the Moon to Saturn. Mercury gives voice to the creative project he wants to collaborate on. Say yes to yourself!! Lots of dreams with possibility for astral travel ~ pay attention if the “textural quality” of the dream is different than what or how you usually dream. Follow up on health matters aggressively. Sun connects with the Nodes of Destiny today so you can meet people who are your future. Also people who are no longer supposed to “travel” with you can depart. Expect news of some significance this aspect provides an ah-ha moment. Mercury is exceptionally busy today so pay attention to what you hear and from whom. Pieces of the puzzle fall in place. Commit to creative projects that inspire you! Venus’ quintile to the North Node announces you’ll get help from unexpected quarters. Jupiter’s square to Pallas helps you dig deeper and resurfaces news from last spring to help you see the pattern you missed or didn’t quite take seriously before. Moon is void tonight between 7 and 10 pm inviting you to dream a bit with these lovely aspects.

The balance of the days will be posted Monday.
