For the next few weeks the most visually stunning planetary omen occurs in the western sky at sunset. Venus is rushing to catch Jupiter in Capricorn. (Check it out.) A very good omen – the two brightest planets joining as one. (In terms of the Earth they are also the strongest gravitationally.) An inspirational time aesthetically. Work on the masterpiece. Steady, not quick. No more thinking or planning. Time to do it. Join forces; network to enhance the common good. This beneficent influence culminates on December 1.
While Venus leads into auspicious sign of Capricorn the rest of the Inner Planets are in the excruciatingly difficult sign of Sagittarius. Mercury accelerates to first catch the Sun November 25, then Mars November 28. Taking care of details. Just one step at a time. Precision is necessary if the firing process is to be successful. Simultaneously the Sun plods steadily forward to catch Mars on December 5. (Check out the purple area of the AstroChart.) As the three accordion together there is lots of drive and energy available. Time to get a lot accomplished – productivity – cut some deals - moving swiftly, but steadily, into new ground.
Unfortunately the 3 are moving together into the worst part of the Zodiac. December 1 > 3: Tap into social assistance to make it through. December 4 & 6 Speeding Mercury hits the trap first – colliding with Uranus and Saturn – Erratic and rigid. Seek internal peace to wend your way through the landmines. December 10 & 11 The Sun hits the same area followed by Mars December 13 & 15. Ouch! It’s necessary to cross the precipice. But beware! There are no guardrails – the slightest misstep can lead to disaster. Must be cautious. However don’t tarry or it will be too late. As an example of the serious potential of this influence hundreds of homes have been destroyed by wild fires in Southern California recently. Never underestimate your opponent.
Mid December peaking labor and physical difficulties – too much or not enough work. Expect fights. Avoid belligerent behavior, but you must make a stand. There is lots of power here. Don’t abuse it. Tread the tightrope between constipation and diarrhea. Not time to push the limit. Be careful. Move steadily, but don’t rush. It will surely backfire. Avoid taking on too many projects – sensory overload and breakdown.
December 14>16 tap into the deep wisdom as the Sun and Mars channel Neptune’s intuitive powers. Seek peace through meditation to enhance the possibility of making the best decision in this difficult time.
Although there is a lot of energy and drive it is mired in such difficulties that it is not an auspicious time, as monsters attempt to consume you. The good news is that this excruciating time will pass in weeks, after which the Sun and his the gang move into Capricorn – presently a much more auspicious sector of the Zodiac.
Other items of note in this period: November 26 Pluto enters Capricorn for the next few decades. Die to be reborn. Seed beginnings only. November 27 Uranus stops to turn things around.
