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.

Our week ahead gets off to a fast start. The Moon has harsh closing aspects most of the week so emotionally, we’ll be in the mood to separate or take our own path. Best to work on your own projects and move them along. Trust that the solitude you crave in the crazy build up to the holidays is a healthy part of the journey. Under-book your calendar this week to accommodate the unexpected changes that will arrive in your life from the aspects to Pluto and Uranus.

Sun and Mercury echo each other a day apart (and Venus’ journey from last week) as they squabble with Pluto and his power struggles or permanent changes, cooperate in change and freedom with Uranus and feel wounded on a deep level from Chiron.

How to work with it? Just know that the HUGE evolutionary changes taking place in society sometimes land a bit hard on the heart. Self care. Nurture. By Sunday you will feel better.

Venus in Sagittarius goes out of bounds on Tuesday December 2 until December 25, 2014. Venus out of bounds in Sagittarius is an overdoing energy ~ especially when she’s answering to Jupiter in overdoing Leo. 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. Make a budget and KNOW you won’t be sticking to it…

How to work with her? Already an overdoing energy when in Sagittarius, Venus without limits or restrictions from the Sun tends to rock our world. Of course she IS good for passion, relationships, and those once in a lifetime ah-ha moments of lightening striking a bolt into your heart chakra. So go to ALL the parties in your best, prettiest, or sexiest outfit and make sure to wink at that sparkly eyed person sipping their egg nog in the corner. Venus aspects the Nodes of Destiny and Jupiter this week so watch who you meet on Monday and Thursday especially. NO UNATTENDED CANDLES or FIRE PLACE ASHES! Fire energy is very out of control!

Mars works with Saturn to finalize a deal and enters Aquarius on Thursday December 4 until January 12, 2015. Still answering to Saturn, he’s also responding to Uranus in Aries. Anger can flare out of no-where. Mars in Aquarius tends to be disruptive and disturbs the status quo. His quintile to Uranus at the end of the week brings an unusual offer which you need to consider. Is it part of what you want to do going forward?

How to work with Mars in Capricorn until Thursday night ~ plow through your to-do list. You have amazing energy to get things done. How to work with Mars in Aquarius after Thursday night ~ give him choices. No ultimatums. Ultimatums make Mars in Aquarius C R A z Y!!! Let him choose and think it is HIS idea!

Vesta enters Capricorn on December 3, Wednesday until January 28, 2015 ~ eliminate the excess from your life and your various places of residence or work. Clear out that storage unit. Working with Vesta is easy ~ this is a great energy for clearing clutter and simplifying. Focus on what is important, what brings you joy and get the rest of it out of your life. Good will. Garbage bags. Recycle. Donate. Free-cycle. Homestead or grubstake someone just starting a new chapter who needs your stuff. My friend Mary Jayne used this energy when her mom moved into assisted living. She offered the house furnishings and replenished a family’s entire home. They had lost everything in a fire. Her mother’s furniture became the start of their new life. Clear your space for the new adventures arriving in Sagittarius next year. If you don’t love it, move it OUT of your space. OUT!

Mercury goes out of bounds on Sunday December 7 until January 1, 2015. Complete frankness and outspoken energy enters our world. 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!

Jupiter is stationing to go retrograde until April 7, 2015. He actually stops NEXT Monday, December 8, but we FEEL him starting to stop as of Wednesday, December 3. So the pressure builds. It is a GOOD pressure but a pressure none-the-less. Jupiter’s stopping AMPLIFIES all the planets in Sagittarius, Mercury and Venus out of bounds, and the Full Moon chart this weekend. Just a lot of 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!

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.

Moon goes void Square to Mars on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 09:42:47 pm EST. Moon is void Tuesday night.

Moon enters Taurus on Wednesday December 3, 2014 at 00:15:57 am EST.

Moon goes void Opposite Saturn on Friday, December 5, 2014 at 01:45:51 am EST. Moon is void early Friday morning.

Moon enters Gemini on Friday, December 5, 2014 at 05:29:20 am EST.

Full Moon in Sagittarius /Gemini on Saturday December 6, 2014 at 7:27 am EST.

Moon goes void Opposite Venus on Sunday, December 7, 2014 at 04:52:38 am EST. Moon is void Sunday Morning.

Moon enters Cancer on Sunday, December 7, 2014 at 12:35:21 pm EST.

The Full moon on Saturday December 6, 2014 is at 14: 18 Sagittarius and Gemini. The earlier Moons were New Moon on June 8, 2014 at 18 Gemini and Opening quarter on March 8, 2014 with Pisces Sun and closing quarter September 5, 2015 with Virgo Sun. Look back at the earlier Moons to see the pattern ripening before you now.

Venus in Sagittarius is out of bounds in the Full Moon chart, ruling the Midheaven and Node of Destiny as well as the Fifth and Sixth houses. This is a Full Moon to make progress on!! Progress with a capital P!! Push the energy as much as you can. Saturn is in a weak position, with mostly separating aspects and tucked away in the 12th house (for east coast folks) so he’s not causing many problems, preoccupied as he is with wrapping up his journey in Scorpio. He is the in the house of karma wrapping up and being put away for 29 years. Lots of beginning and visionary energy in this lunation with the emphasis on Fire and Air.

The chart is highly packed with action taking planets in cardinal houses 1, 4 and the Node of Fate in 10. The Lunation lays across the horizon so as the Sagittarius Sun is rising, the Gemini Full Moon is setting in the west. We are laying the emotional journey of the last few years to rest as the Moon sets. We have the opportunity to tell the story in a new way. We are inaugurating the New journey of Saturn in Sagittarius.

There are oodles of Grand Trines in Fire with the Sagittarius planets Mercury, Sun, Ceres, Venus and the Ascendant trine to Jupiter slowing to a station in Leo with Juno and trine to Uranus, South Node, IC and Eris in Aries. The Grand Fire Trines land in the transitional place between the water and fire houses ~ we are literally crawling out of the swampy waters of Scorpio and starting to get warm by the fires on the banks of the swamp. Leo and Aries illuminate the Cancer and Scorpio houses while Sagittarius takes the lead on the Ascendant. Once you’ve gone through the death and ending energy of Scorpio, there is a rebirth of sorts. The resurrection energy of dawn. Sunrise. The calm quiet after the storm has passed. The Morning after so to speak.

The Sabian Image for the Moon in Gemini is TWO DUTCH CHILDREN TALKING AND STUDYING THEIR LESSONS TOGETHER

Lynda Hill’s interpretation of the Moon in Gemini is

Commentary: ‘Two Dutch Children Talking and Studying Their Lessons Together’ represents the need for clarity and for those of like mind to share and communicate spontaneous and creative ideas. The ‘Two Dutch Children’ are discussing and sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings about ‘Their Lessons’. Every now and then they are likely to bring up side issues about their personal lives and to chatter about friends, etc. It may be that they are meant to be only ‘Studying Their Lessons’, however they probably have the freedom to be able to relax and take things easily. The people around them probably won’t be interested in what they are ‘Studying’, although they may sometimes pretend to. Some may feel left out because the level of conversation or the ways of communicating are so carefree, in-depth or inaccessible to others’ minds.

Oracle: This Symbol shows people enjoying each other and sharing common goals. When a lot of the confusion of the day-to-day life is put aside, there can be an understanding of each other or those around you that is so strong it can feel like a soul connection. As these are said to be ‘Dutch Children’, feeling cut off and isolated because of language or cultural separations can be frustrating, but if you have companionship with someone on your wavelength, it is much easier to bear. You should be able to relax and feel comfortable with your associates. Try not to look for or create any unnecessary complications. Get on with your job quietly and effectively with company that seeks the same things in life. Getting a grip on life’s ‘Lessons’ will enlighten and enrich everyone in this situation. Finding a friend to learn and be creative with could lead to some valuable lessons about friendships, relating and the world.

Keywords: Sharing of innocence and carefree thoughts and ideals. Exchanging views with like-minded individuals. Simplicity. Sense of companionship. Communication. Best friends. Having the right teacher. Learning and studying. Conversations that illuminate issues. Speaking many languages. Gossiping.

The Caution: Failing to communicate in depth. Unsophisticated viewpoints. Excluding others as “unworthy”. Societal or racial prejudice. “Hearing voices” that don’t make sense. Not hearing the opinions of others that may further the understanding about how the world works. Speaking a foreign language so as to exclude others.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings. Henry David Thoreau

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. Aristotle

A friend is a present you give to yourself. Robert Louis Stevenson

The pleasure of reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books. Katherine Mansfield

Whenever two good people argue over principles, both are always right. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

A different language is a different version of life. Federico Fellini

I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so nothing of what I was studying seemed to fit. I know now that I should have taken advantage of that time and that I missed a great deal of the opportunity to educate myself. Harrison Ford

In studying the way, realizing it is hard; once you have realized it, preserving it is hard. When you can preserve it, putting it into practice is hard. Zen Proverb SABIAN

The Sabian Image for the Sun in Sagittarius is THE GROUND HOG LOOKING FOR ITS SHADOW ON GROUND HOG DAY

Lynda Hill’s interpretation of the Sun in Sagittarius is

Commentary: ‘The Ground Hog Looking For its Shadow on Ground Hog Day’, by its reactions and movements, provides clues as to whether winter would continue or spring would come with its warmth and rewards. As ‘Ground Hog Day’ is in February in the northern hemisphere, it symbolizes a time of cold, snow and the stiff breezes of winter. Although more fable than real, the ‘Ground Hog’ is said to be able to sense whether there’s a change in the air. If he feels spring approaching, he gives a sign so others may know and anticipate it themselves. The ‘Ground Hog’ is somewhat of a “star” on ‘Ground Hog Day’, as people are watching him, wondering what he will signal. There is a lot of projection happening here as the animal is not really consciously doing anything. The ‘Ground Hog’ doesn’t ask that people take his advice or “forecasting” for real.

Oracle: You may need some sign to give you insight into the future. However, are you relying on messages from the past? The solution to your question is close by and easy to perceive. It is based in your normal environment and relationships. Don’t focus on things continuing to be hard or difficult, as this can lead to it actually happening. Don’t read too much into things, as they may not be as they seem. However, acknowledging your ‘Shadow’, and your projections and perceptions, will bring the clarity that’s sought. Reading books, watching movies or television, hearing the words of a song, observing everyday life and the people around can remind you of things that have happened in your life. However, continually or compulsively looking for signs of assurance when they can be readily available on the physical plane can lead to losing your way, and worrying too much about what you cause in your life. There can be difficulty in finding rest, or sleep, when one looks continually at their life and the effects that one creates. People may be with you, or this may be a lonely journey. Welcome the spring, and don’t look back!

Keywords: Looking back, reading the signs. Divination and other systems of inquiry. Seeing society as being to blame. People having a good look at how they seem to others. Wondering how others perceive you and picture you. Prophets that can tell the “weather” ahead of time. Predictions. Prognosticating. Welcoming an early spring. Scrutinizing objectives. Looking to nature for clues.

The Caution: Being scared to act without some message of confirmation. People (or society) looking for someone to blame for conditions. Relying on the same solutions without consideration of changes. Blizzards and the cold.

Nice going boys, you’re playing yesterday’s tape. Ground Hog Day

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Kierkegaard

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. Macaulay

Does Phil feel lucky? Ground Hog Day

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us. Hermann Hesse

The life that is unexamined is not worth living. Plato

A little man often casts a long shadow. Italian Proverb

If you stand straight do not fear a crooked shadow. Chinese Proverb

Moon day Monday November 24, 2014 – Moon in Sadge, void in the morning, entering Capricorn at 11:31 am EST. Closing aspect for Cap Moon is sextile to Mercury. Great day to pitch ideas, sign contracts, and form strategic alliances. You can meet somebody important today, for your work or your life’s karma. The night before was full of interesting dreams. Tonight as the Sun parallels Pluto around 5:30 pm EST, you could have had a powerful experience of a triangular nature. A bit of envy happens shortly thereafter that should inspire you to move forward and adjust some of the commitments you’ve made so they more accurately reflect your desires.

Mars’s day Tuesday November 25, 2014 – Moon is in Capricorn with a productive closing aspect of a sextile to Mercury. Lots of dreams last night, wakening you with a start in the morning. Something is trying to come through and talk to you on a deeper level. Sun aspects the Nodes in a slightly stressful manner that can cause you some anxiety or problems. Hold the faith and keep moving. The Nodes of Fate are working in strange and mysterious ways. Just trust the process and show up, no questions asked. Remember, we’re working with the precursor of the energy of 2015 right now. Tonight as Mercury joins Saturn, you’ll make a commitment or figure out how to proceed with your life going forward. You’re also going to stop taking care of a situation you’ve been covering up for a while. Both decisions will have long-range impacts that you’ll be working with in the year ahead.

Wednesday Mercury’s day November 26, 2014 – Moon is in Cap in the morning going void at 10:30am EST and enters Aquarius at 2:23 pm EST, with a hard closing aspect of a square to Saturn. As befits the busiest travel day of the year, the heavens are chock full of energy. Do expect delays during the four-hour period when the Moon is void (adjusted for your time zone). Take time to relax and focus on what you can actually do something about. Midday, Mercury’s sesquiquadrate to Uranus offers a bit of a breakdown or breakthrough around procedures or processes. It’s a needed adjustment. Be patient. In the evening, watch for envy or jealousy to arrive. Using Venus’s trine to Uranus, waltz past it in an exuberant and generous way. Sun’s square to Neptune tonight creates and emotional kickoff to the weekend of family and food. In the evening, Mercury’s opposition to Eris could have brought some old jealousies or envies to light. Notice what they are but don’t let them stop you.

Jupiter’s Day Thursday November 27, 2014 – Happy Thanksgiving! The Moon is in Aquarius with a hard closing aspect of a square to Saturn. Events today have an emotional charge that wants to separate from the structure. Lots of realizations of endings going on right now, so be gentle with people around you. Mercury enters Sadge tonight at 9:26 pm EST, adding a sense of optimism (as well as emotional oversharing and directness) to the mix. Midday the Moon in Aquarius aspecting Uranus and Venus allows you to distract yourself by talking to other people. Lots of food!! This is a day when there will be lots of leftovers. People aren’t in the mood to eat the way they normally do. Don’t take it personally! Freeze it or make turkey pot pie!

Friday Venus’s Day November 28, 2014 – Moon in Aquarius goes void at 12:14pm EST with a closing square to Saturn and is void all afternoon, entering Pisces at 5:03pm EST. The Pisces Moon has a lovely closing aspect of a trine to Saturn. Next three days are productive, smoothly flowing, and gracious. Midday Chiron squares Ceres, suggesting that there’s some principle around caretaking or food that is wounding right now and should probably be replaced with something else. Changing traditions can be hard, but right now is a good time to do it. A volatile argument midday. With the void Moon, whatever you buy this black Friday isn’t going to fit or match and will have to be returned later.

Saturn’s Day Saturday November 29, 2014 –Moon in Pisces with a lovely closing aspect of a trine to Saturn making today and tomorrow very productive in terms of getting tasks accomplished and working with the flow of the universe. Mercury’s parallel to Pluto brings powerful information and dreams to your attention, inviting you to connect and proceed. Pallas Athena aspects the Nodes of Destiny making some important choices about eliminating behaviors that are not supportive of her or you. Great time to release old patterns and not have them return again. In the morning, Venus trines Juno, inviting you to partner and to try new things in ways you hadn’t thought of before. This could be a love opportunity walking through the door or a money or partnership opportunity. Mercury aspects the Nodes tonight, inviting you to try a new way of connecting with people and a new way of seeing things.

Sun’s day Sunday November 30, 2014 – Moon in Pisces goes void at 3:47pm EST and is void in the afternoon, entering Aries at 8:14 pm EST with a closing aspect of a square to Mars. Today the energy is very productive for getting things accomplished and out the door, with Moon’s sextile to Mars and trine to Saturn, encouraging you to work hard. Mercury’s square to Neptune causes all sorts of confusion, possibly angry feelings. Double-check: you probably didn’t hear what they said clearly, or they didn’t hear what you said clearly, and someone went off in a tizzy for no good reason. Uranus’s biquintile to Pallas Athena invites creative problem-solving around matters where communication is not working or relationships are having a bit of trouble. It’s always about love, or the lack of it. Does the person you’re thinking about represent an opportunity for you to grow in love, or a place where you can heal through the energy of love. Next week promises to be very busy. Early to bed.

Moon day Monday December 1, 2014 – Moon is in Aries and goes void Square to Mars in Capricorn so today is action packed and a bit difficult. Venus aspects the Nodes of Destiny so you can connect with interesting folks in a working or productive manner. Health matters improve with a slight change in focus or food. Mars works productively with Saturn so you can power through your to-do list today. Great energy for letting old things go and leave your life. Pallas struggles with old patterns that seem impossible to change ~ they only are impossible to change if you give them the energy to BE impossible. In the immediate MOMENT, choose differently. Then as each moment presents itself, continue to CHOOSE again differently. Back when I was quitting smoking, the American Cancer Society Program I attended encouraged us to NOT think that we were quitting FOREVER (we were, after all, giving up something we loved). Think for THIS moment, I won’t smoke. At this choice point, I will choose differently. All habits that we want to extinguish or change can be tackled with this one moment at a time approach. So take it today. For THIS MOMENT I am not going to respond in my usual way. Once you redirect the energy, you’ll find there is an enormous welling up of energy mid-day. You’ll have a sense of relief later tonight as you realize you did make a change. And you can continue to make changes. Mars links up with Ceres asking you to proactively act in a nurturing way towards yourself. Sun’s union with Mars encourages you to take an approach that enlightens and encourages. Moon squares Pluto and joins with Uranus causing a creative explosion of awareness and consciousness tonight. Allow yourself to dream big!

Mars’s day Tuesday December 2, 2014 – Moon in Aries goes void Square to Mars at 09:42:47 pm EST. Moon is void Tuesday night. Venus goes out of bounds until December 25, 2014. A day of overdoing with hard ending energy ~ so use it to let go of stuff you don’t want any more. Release, release, release. Mercury links up with Mars and encourages some tough talking to energy. So much fire and passion flying around. Take time to plan out how you are going to take care of yourself this week as there won’t be much extra time. Mercury in Sagittarius is quite wild and out of control today…expect unusual communications ~ including some that seem a bit envious. Venus out of bounds encourages over doing and over spending so think twice before laying that credit card down. Do you REALLY need it or are you feeling stressed and spending? Hard news but not unexpected news of an ending today as Mars trines Admetos mid-day. Moon productively works with Venus and Jupiter ~ forming a grand trine in Fire and expanding emotional reactions and ideas rapidly. Sun links up with Mercury by declination so people feel they are correct and have trouble listening to other people’s ideas. Good to isolate and get some productive work done while alone. One is the loneliest number but right now it FEELS right to be one.

The balance of the Days will be posted on Monday.
