Thankfully, a good chunk of the holiday mania is ruled by love-to-be-in-motion Sagittarius; however, Sagittarian impatience is apt to be triggered while waiting in long lines and while searching and roving and dueling for The Blessed Parking Spot - Sag does not wince at the aspect of physical feats; why not park far away and happily exert the soma as you skip, lope or sprint toward an entry that leads into The Mall? The arterial nature of Sag roils the blood into performing extracurricular necessities and pleasures. Sag also loves to let its hair down at parties; swing freely from holly-bedecked chandeliers and dance loosely on garnished tabletops.
Sagittarius is our ruler of philosophy, religion, policy-making, law-making and other dogmatic delights. Concepts reign; if whatever you are trying to transmit and, perhaps, peddle appears authoritative and good-for-all, then it'll probably fly: throw a healthy looking tree into your company's logo; use buzz words like "transparency," "The Children" and of course "rule of law!" Send a card of cheer to your attorney.
Thinking Mercury joins the Sun in the Sagittarius-a-gO-gO on the 3rd. After traveling for so long through intense Scorpio, Mercury becomes giddy as he enters comic Sagittarius. Antics and gag gifts may add a touch of levity to previously scathing situations. The mind turns toward purpose of life, and it wants to have a hell of good time while purposefully living. Sagittarius is changeable and adventuresome; what a divine time to expand one's experience and perceptions of reality. Travel is Sagittarius-ruled; airports sweat and gasp this time of the year.
Mercury's skip into Sagittarius occurs while the Sun and Pluto, two of our most self-willed archetypes, merge forces on the 4th. This is a triple-dose of Sagittarian energy, prodding us to go where we have not gone before, particularly if we are cornered. The Sun wants us to exercise our will; Pluto wants us to exercise our power; the volatility of this Sun/Pluto embrace occurs because everyone has different wills (Sun), powers (Pluto) and beliefs (Sagittarius). What an explosive kick-off for the month of December!
Madame Venus, ruler of desire, dons a sci-fi jumpsuit as she beams into exquisitely progressive Aquarius on the 8th. The Madame is feeling aloof while in Aquarius and Sagittarius needs space. Enjoy elbow room and take a few deep breaths while you can.
Miss Luna is full in thinking Gemini on the 11th (1.03am PST). Brain power is doubly emphasized while Mercury and Pluto simultaneously embrace each other, also on the 11th. Bend forks with your mind; badger witnesses and difficult clerks; hyper-analyzing can immobilize.
We trot into ambitious Capricorn on the 21st; our entry into the Goat, a.k.a. the Winter Solstice, is the shortest day of the year. Rub sand out of the eyes and do deep knee bends for upcoming bouts of competition. Thinking Mercury feels pretty and pedantic as he enters authoritative Capricorn on the 22nd. Warrior Mars grins wickedly as he moves into tactical Scorpio on the 23rd; dramatic power plays, both surreptitious and obvious, abound. Venus also connects with Uranus on the 23rd, jump-starting unpredictability in the relationship arena.
Christmas features a New Moon/Solar Eclipse. The New Moon in Capricorn triggers a month-long lunar cycle emphasizing business, ambition, and the public persona; the ecliptic activity enhances the activity that the New Moon symbolizes; additionally, we are apt to discover some things that have been hiding under Capricornian rugs as eclipses tend to unveil what was previously hidden. Revelations occur within the realm of the economy, judicial activities and lives of the rich, famous (and thus influential).

 Taurus The season of Sagittarius enlivens your underworld. Maybe, you are like Demeter lamenting the loss of her daughter; or, maybe you are like Persephone, captured in Hades' Dungeon Bar & Grille. Or maybe you're sparring with old demons along with the antics of your now stimulated shadow. Stones you left unturned are likely to leap at your shins in pelting-fashion; whatever you have been containing below is scheduled to erupt - releases are gorgeous. Sagittarius is enlightening; consider that you have a mighty torch that can illuminate any dark spaces that you experience. Mars continues moving through Libra, emphasizing battles with bureaucrats and wars for answers. Purification beckons you; purge aggressively. Your ruler, desiring Madame Venus, goes into vixen-mode as she enters aloof Aquarius on the 8th. Careering takes temporary precedence over playing footsy with palatable others; strike the professional sphere like a bolt of lightning. You'll have opportunities to rub elbows with influential people; some may ask favors of your own influence; back-scratching abounds. We enter feisty Capricorn on the 21st; Capricorn endows you with the ability to give form to ideas and concepts. Warrior Mars smirks as he enters potent Scorpio on the 23rd; your relationship dynamics feature some passive-aggressive sneering along with outright, overt fireworks. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th unveils new policies in Life of Taurus whether you are creating them or whether they are like a train bearing down on you. This is a heavy period of both endings and beginnings for Bulls while Saturn finishes his retrograde movement in Taurus through the 3rd week of January - you may at times feel as if you are groping in a vacuum. |
 Gemini Relationship dynamics are feisty. Rumbling and frolicking with others is emphasized. The 01st through the 11th are particularly volatile as Pluto erupts whatever has been stashed (or avoided) beneath the surface of situations; people, in general, are allies or adversaries, assuming equal devotion to their roles. The 10th and 11th feature a build-up and then release of energies as your planetary ruler, thinking Mercury, merges with Pluto; the Moon simultaneously becomes ripe in Gemini; you've been experiencing changes and new parts of your self tumble out into the scene while outworn facets of your self are propelled away. Scattering tendencies prevail. Invoke a Sagittarian attitude and taste as many people and situations as possible - release vice-grips from too much of a good or wicked thing. Madame Venus dons a randy sci-fi ensemble as she swishes into Aquarius on the 8th; the Madame's jaunt through brilliant Aquarius bestows you with visionary tendencies and an ability to defy stale traditions as you march to the beat of different drummers. Our entry into Capricorn on the 21st initiates regeneration (second winds!) and a month long phase of giving form to ideas. Mercury also enters Capricorn on the 22nd, beseeching you to become an authority in something. Warrior Mars moves into potent and surreptitious Scorpio on the 23rd, further accentuating your ability to come back in transforming fashion. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th releases and unveils a previously untapped talent that wants to be exercised. At this time, Big Daddy Saturn may feel like a paperweight on your prefer-movement psyche (or even your prefer-movement life in the world); Big Daddy's changes run profoundly deep and so you are like an initiate in a dark cave who is shedding (painfully) outworn facets of the self in order to gain enlightenment and cataclysmic transition; Big Daddy pivots into forward motion - revving toward Gemini - during the 3rd week of January. |
 Cancer This time of the year that can really take it out of you Crabs; you'll begin rising from your ashes after the New Moon/Solar Eclipse of the 25th. Yes, the holidays are frantic for everyone, but Sagittarius falls in the part of your solar chart that features tedium and slavery. If the whole picture is falling apart, concentrate on details. If the details are exploding, concentrate on the whole picture. Sagittarius is a changeable sign, rendering an erratic ambiance; just when you think everything is in its place, it tauntingly explodes anew; likewise, just when you throw up your hands and emit a primal scream of frustration, things scatter together anew. Warrior Mars' jaunt through Libra suggests that you'll need to be well-armed while addressing rowdy family issues; or, maybe you're fighting for a residence; Mars struts into potent Scorpio on the 23rd, empowering your will. Madame Venus moves her luscious attributes into Aquarius on the 8th; she detonates mystery and intrigue in Life of Crab. Probe mystifying or suspicious situations (or maybe you're the one who is probed). Paranoia occasionally convulses (which doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you). Madame Venus draws you into the shadow side of life for most of the month; silhouette activities include your dark side making a lot of noise along with intriguing candle-lit dinners off beaten paths. The Moon is your ruler and she's full of profound activity this month. On the 11th the Moon is full in thought-full Gemini while thinking Mercury is merging forces with power-packing Pluto; your forces could potentially be lured and scattered by volatile diversions. The Moon eclipses the Sun on the 25th while in ambitious and authoritative Capricorn; ecliptic activity tends to have an unveiling affect and so your relationship dynamics and the future motion of your work verve perform provocative, revelatory strip-teases. |
 Leo Sagittarius lights a welcome fire under your ass. You're out of the Scorpio dungeon and into a well-lit terrain that offers-up Leo perks such as an audience, gambling and upstaging even the most adept hams. We all love Leos over the holidays because their generosity flows like lava. Your will is less likely to be frustrated during the season of Sagittarius; the trick with the changeable Archer is to keep your eye on the bull's eye but enjoy the sometimes weird trip the arrow takes toward the bull's eye. Thinking Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 4th, goosing your confidence. The first 11 days of the month stir and shake your potency while power-packing Pluto is emphasized. Warrior Mars is still languishing in diplomat Libra most of the month (he'd rather fight than negotiate; he's irreverent not tactful); perhaps the influence of Libra on Mars assists us all in re-prioritizing the worth of our battles; pettiness is apt to occasionally pommel you until Mars enters Scorpio on the 23rd (at which point you must consider losing a couple of battles in order to win the War). Madame Venus struts smartly into Aquarius on the 8th, livening up your relationship arena; eccentrics and kindred souls crawl out of the woodwork; move to different beats. Our entry into ambitious Capricorn on the 21st coincides with Mercury's movement into the same sign. The season of Capricorn generally beseeches you to test limits and to also draw new lines (lest people take it outta you). The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th triggers an unveiling of new responsibilities, commitments and Leo Authority. |
 Virgo As you are taking your holiday schtick out of the closet or garage or wherever you have neatly stashed it, you may be seized by sentimentality and nostalgia - Sagittarius in the Virgo solar chart emphasizes roots, heritage, nationality, history, family and home. For Virgo, Mademoiselle Memory is an alluring vixen this time of the year; we learn from the past but at the same time we limit ourselves if we hold onto the past with an overly secure grip. Endings and beginnings dance an aggressive Tango while the motif of the dance floor shape-shifts in seemingly random rhythms; rather than applying a white knuckle grip to particular results, go with the proverbial flow. You are drawn into your turf whether you are breaking-up brawls, judging debates or just peering through your Venetian blinds with a skeptical expression on your face. Warrior Mars continues marching through Libra until the 23rd, detonating situations in which you fight for your worth. Your planetary ruler, thinking Mercury, enters comic and optimistic Sagittarius on the 3rd after he spent two long months in life-and-death Scorpio. While skipping through Sag, Mercury isn't inclined to dote over those details that tend to impassion Virgos. We enter earthy Capricorn on the 21st; Mercury quickly follows-up with his own entry into the Goat on the 22nd. Capricorn elicits your Emperor Within: don a crown while indulging in pomp. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th triggers a cycle wherein your Will looses some of its notorious flexibility as you are put in positions of Domination. |
 Libra Commuting is emphasized: bumper-to-bumper traffic; crowded, weird-smelling airports; eye-rolling in train stations; surly rickshaw operators and brilliant cab drivers. The scope of life exhales and expands, taking you beyond the banalities that are amassing at your feet and elbows. Symbolism is lively; situations and objects are chock full o' meaning and absurdity. Kismet is rambunctious; embrace synchronicity. Warrior Mars continues strutting through Libra until the 23rd; your tongue continues to press to cheek; your eyes continue to glint irreverently; you continue to forge forward like a saucy trailblazer; you continue to throw situations off balance rather than picking up the pieces that others have strewn. Mars' entry into Scorpio on the 23rd accentuates your desire and how meaningful your desire is as you are required to battle for satiety. Your planetary ruler, luscious Madame Venus, empowers your self-esteem as she struts into Aquarius on the 8th. Wear a tiara; bestow upon us your bravura. Romance clicks its heels and winks salaciously; become especially enamored with your reflection. Our entry into Capricorn on the 21st emphasizes a wrestling match between your real self (who is dragging a cup along the door that cages her) and your public persona; mischief!: you will probably find yourself pressured by peers, enhancing this bout of truth vs. approval from others. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th bares your soul (proceed to throw down your gauntlet). |
 Scorpio Your desire is especially accentuated during the season of Sagittarius; the changeable nature of Sagittarius releases you from fixating obsessively on a specific desire; rather, Sagittarius offers you a veritable smorgasbord of enticing new options. This is the time to indulge in a fresh taste test of life, particularly after thinking Mercury has re-arranged your sense of your self over the previous two months. Oh the new people, places and things that wish to blow up your skirt! The first eleven days of December feature your planetary ruler, power-packing Pluto; maybe, you'll indeed dominate the world; or, maybe you'll finally bust a recalcitrant groove; Pluto is a warrior archetype, endowing you with occasions to rise to (Pluto asks "how bad do you want it?"). Madame Venus moves into liberating Aquarius on the 08th, livening-up home and family life; all the eccentricities of your DNA are champing at the bit for exposure. Unruly Mars continues limping through diplomatic Libra until the 23rd; some loose ends are likely to misbehave; your impatience is periodically provoked as you attempt to prematurely thrust some balls in motion. As Mars enters Scorpio on the 23rd, your will flexes more muscle and achieves more reach in the world. Our entry into Capricorn on the 21st accentuates gathering data and the usual suspects. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th triggers a new cycle of learning for Scorpios. |
 Sagittarius Welcome to the threshold. You are now so close to initiation that you can feel its breath (and it may feel like a wheeze after all you've been through). Endings are indeed more inclined to end and beginnings are leaping and prancing like a manic pep squad. Proceed. Thinking Mercury is feeling giddy as he enters Sagittarius on the 3rd; Mercury's movement out of intense and underworldish Scorpio (finally!) provides you with a surge of that optimistic Sagittarian attitude that attracts kismet and other fortuitous delights. "Will Power" is especially emphasized the first 11 days of the month as both the self-willed Sun and thinking Mercury merge forces with potent Pluto. Whether you are trying to push or resist, your are a force to be reckoned with. You'll ultimately fight for your self whether you are wrestling with your conscience or whether there is a petty tyrant that needs to be smashed and crushed (or perhaps this petty tyrant's power over you finally becomes absurdly comical). Madame Venus swaggers into Aquarius on the 8th, accentuating communication, questions and intriguing (and probably fleeting) conversation. Warrior Mars continues crawling through diplomat Libra until the 23rd; after the 11th, you'll probably start winding-down into retreat-and-great-escape mode. Mars' movement into potent Scorpio on the 23rd detonates a cycle of vulnerability; risk ups its ante, particularly as regards to matters of the heart; the physical body will want to recline and experience prodigious pampering. Our movement into Capricorn on the 21st says that desire is a two-way street; your yens have a hearty appetite; likewise, others have a hankering for you. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th emphasizes your value in the Scheme of Things (and thus your earnings); developments elicit a period of re-prioritization. |
 Capricorn You're apt to feel fey, fickle and occasionally freaked-out during our jaunt through Sagittarius. The Sagittarian vibration tends to trigger a stint of divine discontent for Goats; additionally, you are in this world but not entirely of it. Life affects you from different, uncontrollable angles and this can bowl you over. For most of the month you are straddling a threshold in between endings and beginnings. Take this time to re-prioritize your life based upon the profundities that nip you in the ass and at the base of the brain. An occasional retreat is necessary; allow yourself to be tended-to if psychic or physical afflictions temporarily beset you - you don't have to do everything yourself and you don't have to carry the world upon your (capable) shoulders. Mercury's movement into Sagittarius on the 3rd, loosens your mind into the Unknowable. While you are pacing in front of perplexing sphinxes requiring answers to confounding riddles, you may be missing out on the party of weird, unexpected opportunities that are parading in the periphery. Madame Venus sashays into Aquarius on the 8th, sweetening extra earning potentials and relationships with eccentrics; your own eccentricities want to frolic freely and the Madame endows you with outlets. Our movement into Capricorn on the 21st occurs in rhythm with thinking Mercury's movement into Capricorn and warrior Mars' strut into potent Scorpio. You'll probably be feeling pretty mighty at this point- flex! You re-appear in the world and in a changed form. The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th is especially auspicious for you Goats as it releases facets of your self that you have been previously leashed-up. Additionally, relationships appear that are in sync with budding aspects of your self. |
 Aquarius The fire of Sagittarius licks your passion. Missions and causes beckon your presence - probably because your outrage is provoked. You are in a position to serve as the renegade, speaking what others dare not say; indulge in the art of faux pas and shake-up the sleeeepers (and the decadent). You'll have to choose where you channel your time and energy as so many people and situations nag and yank at the hem of your attention span; don't sweat over pettiness (nor petty tyrants!). Mercury sprints into Sagittarius on the 3rd, urging conclusions that were previously braying asses digging their hooves into the mud. The Future becomes accentuated, particularly as Madame Venus sashays into Aquarius on the 8th. The Madame's movement into your sun sign beseeches you to pamper thyself lest you feel sucked dryer than the Sahara desert. Our movement into Capricorn on the 21st offers you occasional escapades and retreats - grab these opportunities rather than fret over empty time slots, brief stints in vacuums and temporarily missing persons. Warrior Mars struts into powerful Scorpio on the 23rd, suggesting that you'll need to pack some punch in business affairs (you are challenged to at least one stimulating duel and perhaps a hot-blooded tryst, too). The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th sets-off a cycle of playing chicken with a now-uncontainable-and-unavoidable fear; ultimately, you can shed this fear that has been limiting you. |
 Pisces The season of Sagittarius is generally an acme point for Pisces. If you have been in crisis mode for the past few months, then it will peak out before deflating; if you have been striving, laboring, toiling toward a victory over the past few months (which you can taste from time to time), then you will reach the best victory you can pull-off at this time; if you feel as if you have been spinning your wheels, then the season of Sag will offer-up a stimulating peel-out. Your visibility is viable, much like mesmerizing flames that attract and hold the attention. Whether your kicking-up a scandal or dishing-up treats for the masses, you are a poetic sight to behold. You're packing influence and so you shall bequeath the masses with your presence. Pollyannaism is crunched under a competitive heel; wear a contender belt, spar and at least box the ears of those who are uncooperative amidst the ranks you must lead (and those you may have to leave). Responsibilities and commitments heighten, offering no elbow room for hedging; however, Madame Venus' movement into Aquarius on the 8th can offer you a couple of fleeting escapes. Our shift into Capricorn on the 21st is shifty, indeed. In addition to our trot into Capricorn, thinking Mercury moves into ambitious Capricorn on the 22nd and warrior Mars swaggers into oh so potent Scorpio on the 23rd. This slice of time advises that, "if it's not broken, don't fix it;" smirking irony asserts that, "the more you try and control a situation, the more it will misbehave." The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th opens new paths that beg for the treads of your souls. Join miss blue in our chat room October 19 and again for our Eurochat on October 22.
