December opens its gates with a Full Moon in Gemini on the 2nd so we can expect lots and lots of words.

Will we hear the Truth?

Now that may be another story entirely depending on how exacting you are about the ‘T’ word. I have learned that Geminis rarely lie but they do change their minds so it depends on which twin is talking.

The political and economic log jam that was created when Saturn and Pluto began a most UN-seductive tango with each other will ease up as the two become slightly less intimate in the beginning of the month and drift even further apart as the month continues. This should be quite a relief for all of us who have had the month from hell in November feeling the continual pressure of these 2 planetary energies duking it out all over our minds, bodies, and spirits.

By the 17th of December we should start seeing more progress in the world both politically and economically and not just mud-slinging and back room arm-twisting. We have all been under potentially fear-producing energies that have even caused some to question their very survival! Thankfully Venus and Mars are both in fire signs so they will heat things up and keep our hearts more open as well.

Venus in Sag all month will keep us feeling feisty and active which will be necessary to get everything done and still have time for play. Holiday festivities may be grander too with Mars doing it bigger and better in Leo while on the political side of things Pride could make or break efforts towards peace and domestic policy.

Essentially everyone will want to look like a winner so working with Saturn in Libra’s desire for equity, a win-win shift could really work. So important for us all to make the quantum leap from the dominance and submission paradigm to willing cooperation.

I want to start calling Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron, the Three Weird Sisters, because these three oh-so-heavenly bodies have hardly been more than a degree or 2 apart for a year. On the plus side, they have draped this whole challenging mess in a magical mystical cloak which has allowed us to move ahead with some measure of faith that somehow it will all turn out OK as well as forcing us to dig deep into our self-healing and metaphysical bag of tricks.

I believe that we will see even more merging of spiritual and scientific worlds. On the down side, we will continue to be engaged in more hand washing as one or another flu morphs and chases us around or keeps us hunkered down at home. The Jupiter/Neptune effect will likely have us in even more of a daze than usual this holiday season and we will need to be mindful about impulse buying to chase the blues away.

This could be a good time to organize your dreams and aspirations as old Murky Mercury does its 3 week retro dance from Dec 26 to Jan 15. By this time many of you know of mercury retrograde and the way that it can totally screw up forward motion…because the mind and mental processes are going backwards.

Solution is to not push the river forward. You want to get all your ducks in a row and weed out all physical and emotional clutter so that when Mercury moves forward on Jan 15, you will be ready to go!

On New Year’s Eve we will have a Blue Moon and a Lunar Eclipse. That is a second Full Moon in the month, this one being in Cancer which will bring a most interesting vibe to our parties. I find the Lunar Eclipses to be very internal times and this one being Cancer, may encourage many more to stay home and have quieter celebrations.

Whatever you choose, listen to your inner wisdom which is always there to give you the best guidance.
