December 10, 2014

Leading into this fortnight, Mercury is conjoined Saturn in Scorpio and heads on into Sagittarius on the 28th and will finally join the Sun again on the Full Moon in early December. Mars changes signs this fortnight as well and heads into Aquarius, also around the Full Moon. Remember our New Moon was squared to Neptune and as we move towards Full, Venus, Sun and Mercury in turn, will trine Uranus and square to Chiron. What this could possibly mean, is that as we are impulsed to strike out on our own creative path others may be hurt or feel neglected in the process. Energy will be fast moving and unpredictable and with Mars in Aquarius (the sign ruled by Uranus) pushing things along to an inventive new level, chaos may become the norm. As Uranus and Pluto pull in ever tighter towards the square, the pressure increases and the old guard holds firm and the rebellious new, flamboyantly expresses its enthusiasm for change and independence. Those who have felt victimised will be standing up for themselves and the selfish will be facing retribution for their greedy ways. This Uranus Aries generation seems to be inspiring a move towards self-interested people. In order to balance out any selfish tendencies, remember to consider how your actions affect those around you and indeed the Planet herself. It’s a very fine line that we walk now as we claim our sense of personal freedom and the difference between self-awareness and selfishness lays on either side of that line.

SAGITTARIUS With Mercury out of the 12th and into the 1st, the topic becomes all about you, your brand, label, thoughts and opinions.

Early childhood memories may arise and yet let them not deter you from moving forward with your plans or marketing of them. This relationship between your identity and money is very bound up during this transitional period, both in your life and within the collective psyche. Let a new identity be birthed if this is your calling now, but remember, it takes time.

Healing for you is coming through your values and includes your personal or material possessions as well.
