Significant Planetary Aspects for:

Kathy is offering a holiday special for readings booked and paid for by December 31, 2009: $160 for one hour or $90 for a 30-minute SWAT look at your chart. Email kbiehl@fortunaworks.com to book.

When you’re nose to the grindstone in an arduous project, doesn’t your morale improve when you get a reminder now and then of the point to all your effort? The reminders are like cosmic carrots that refresh and restore you, and also entice you to keep going, especially when they’re dangled just a bit ahead. It also helps that they can make you feel good, too. When you’ve been in an intense and prolonged process, even the slightest let-up in pressure can make you giddy with relief. And that is the type of respite that the skies are giving us at last. This week brings reminders that this world is a good and glorious place and allows us some breathing room to enjoy it. Get ready for life to feel lighter, brighter and easier, for a change.

Two big reasons for this shift in atmosphere occur on Tuesday. Uranus completes his four-month retrograde and stations direct that day. Movement, progress and insights are on the way, and how. The simplest statement of this influence is that matters that have been brewing since the beginning of July will resurface, spring into being or take new direction now. But the shift is more major than that. With Uranus’ about-face, all of the members of the Aquarius/Pisces traveling party are direct now. All of the outer planets are direct now. In fact, all of the planets, period, are direct now, and will remain so until Mercury goes retrograde on the 26th. This means that a three-week period lies before us with no cosmic impediments to progress, no delays and no reasons to be still, wait and dive deep within. After six months of processing and processing and processing, we have a window for action, for movement, for things to finally start happening. Sounds long overdue, doesn’t it?

It is in this window that Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are coming together for their third conjunction (and third growth aspect to Uranus), which will cap a year of magic with another huge helping of the same. These four planets have been moving us from one way of living to another. Can you remember how you made it through your days a year ago? The memory is foggy, isn’t it? Here’s one segment of life to consider, to drive the point home: Can you remember how you though about the approaching holidays in November of last year? Compare that to your current attitude. Haven’t you traded anxiety, pressure, dread and decades of baggage and expectations for a more free-floating, what-will-be-will-be attitude (maybe even permission to do what you feel like, for a change)?

Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune and Uranus have given us new, broader and more enlightened perspectives on our wishes, our lives and our personal histories. They have opened us to wisdom, healing and enlightenment and liberated us from limiting thinking and unconscious conditioning. Their influence has helped us turn wounding experiences of the past into sources of great personal strength. Throughout all the intense and profound change aspects of the year, they have beamed down to us boundless optimism and the reassurance that our lives truly are good and blessed — and, more importantly, that each one of us is truly good and blessed. Each of us has moved into new stages of self-acceptance, self-mastery and compassion and love for ourselves. We’re feeling more safe and competent and able to fend for ourselves, and more at home in our skins and on this planet. The influence of these planets has linked us to our higher guidance as a tool for navigating daily life. They have been building a bridge between our spiritual and earthly lives that allows us to live simultaneously in both.

Major and magical gifts all of them, and there are more to come in the final round of this bounty this month. Open your arms to it. If there was ever a time in your life to take risks and accept and say yes, this is it. Santa may be a mythical character, but the energy of his generosity is real, and it’s with us for the next three weeks. Write him a letter. Be big and bold and daring and outrageous in your requests. Ask for your heart’s desire. Ask for situations and resources that push you into new and exciting horizons and inspire you to take actions you have been hesitant to admit you wanted or might be possible. Remember what you asked for in the past that didn’t happen then. Dredge up requests you sent out years ago that you might have forgot. All of them may be on the way. Scout’s honor. Jupiter operates on a 12-year cycle and often brings rewards for actions that you took long ago. Watch for indications that intentions that you formulated years ago are coming into being. It’s already happening for some people. A pal who’s a fellow intuitive and I were discussing how this phenomenon has been operating in our own lives recently. We’ve both been seeing all kinds of disparate wishes that we’ve had for years taking physical shape and converging like land masses moving into new continents (recreating our own personal Panageas). Some of the materializing is taking a slightly different shape than the way we initially envisioned years ago, but it’s happening nonetheless, and in ways that are making our jaws go slack. It’s worth contemplating your own life for signs that this is happening for you, too.

This week, with Uranus’s direct motion, watch for sudden breaks, recognitions of what’s unfolding before you, and people you’d given up on popping up and identifying themselves, even subtly, as important to your future. With Jupiter tightening his conjunction to Chiron, watch too for renewed surges of self-worth and acceptance, and a comfort level with yourself and your past bordering on empowerment.

But wait! There’s more! Reason for good cheer, that is. Venus, who rules our social dealings, moves into Jupiter’s happy-go-lucky territory of Sagittarius on Tuesday. With that, the party season officially begins. Venus has been focused, possessive and mysterious in Scorpio; in Sagittarius she kicks off her shoes, tells jokes and pours bubbly all around. She wants adventures and good times and lots of laughs. When troubles and complications appear, she lets them slide off her back or cracks a joke that belies a deep philosophical understanding of the situation.

As her first order of business in her new home, she’s loosely overseeing the Gemini Full Moon on Wednesday. This one brings communication, information and perspectives to a head, and Venus’ participation causes those developments to play out in the arena of relationships and self-worth. The Gemini/Sagittarius axis deals with our information flow (its content, how we get it and where/how we send it out) and how we expand it into larger constructs, systems and philosophies. You could think of it as the spectrum from monkey mind to higher mind, from collecting trivia for its own sake to learning to gain mastery and wisdom. Although a Full Moon is generally an emotional crest, this one is likely to be more cerebral, because it occurs on an intellectual axis and also because it does not have the involvement of Uranus and Pluto that have made other recent Moons so tumultuous. We may have an emotional investment in or reaction to the messages that build under this Full Moon, but developments are less likely to wind or rile us as they have in the past few months. For more on the Full Moon, read my report on the site.

The week ends with one final shift. Mercury leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn on Saturday and provides a grounding cord for Venus’ adventures and the high flying Jupiter and company will have us doing. Even as we explore the heights of possibilities our mental processes will be practical and goal-oriented, enabling us to convey our thoughts in concrete and understandable language. As the Aquarius/Uranus traveling party has us cruising through exciting horizons, our minds will be working out the steps we’ll need to take on the ground to get there.
Monday: Dynamic aspects make this a day for pressing forward. They’re certainly not going to let us slide or coast or procrastinate, that’s for sure. Expect to find yourself confronting power struggles (which you don’t have to join, remember). When information comes that you don’t like, file it away, especially if the content or source is unexpected. It may be useful or make more sense as the Moon grows Full tomorrow. Regardless, this afternoon’s messages will jar your point of view into something more open and beneficial.

Tuesday: It’s the first day of December, and there are big goings-on in the sky that promise quite a different feel for this month. (Whew!) Mercury is in opportunity aspect to Neptune and offers a higher perspective on an important matter. Let love and compassion permeate your thoughts and words and watch a door open magically. Uranus stations direct today, too. It’s unlikely that logjams will suddenly burst apart (although who knows; anything can happen when Uranus gets moving), but the shift in mood is palpable. Indulge in a sigh of relief; it’s safe, not to mention overdue. Entertain the new prospects and possibilities that come to mind. And go back to the dreams that ended up on the shelf last summer. Some of them can trickle down into this plane of existence now. While they’re making their way down, give yourself permission to have some fun. Venus’ entry into Sagittarius lightens the intensity and drama that’s been running through all our relationships and invites us to laugh and enjoy each other. Gravitate to the people who make you feel glad to be alive. As tomorrow’s Full Moon in Gemini builds, watch for status reports on your relationships.

Wednesday: The Gemini Full Moon occurs in the dark of night in the Western Hemisphere and fills dreams with bits of information and ways to piece them into a bigger picture that makes sense. Even if you do not consciously understand what cycled through your psyche overnight, notice what draws your energy and attention throughout the day. Processing will be invigorating and productive, as the Moon sextiles Mars, trines Jupiter and squares Uranus. On a deep level you do understand what’s going on in your major relationships. You get the big picture and greater meaning, and you know what you want. Look for motivation and chances to push your agenda forward. The day promises an increase in emotional satisfaction (or, at least, the willingness to go for it), followed by twists and turns that land you in freer, if perhaps disorienting, territory.

Thursday: We awaken with the Moon void of course, which lasts until late morning EST. Since her last contact is a pre-dawn opposition to Mercury, dreams may act out scenarios and deliver messages that we haven’t been consciously able to see for what they are. As always, checking in with your mental chatter on awakening will be informative. A Venus/Pluto growth aspect reverberates throughout the day and stirs issues of love, desire and attraction. It holds the prospect of desires coming into alignment with your higher will. You may see how far you’ve come in bringing desires into being, or perhaps in bringing them under control. Since this aspect involves both of the money planets, developments could demonstrate how much you’ve matured in accepting and projecting your inherent worth, measured in cold, hard cash to boot

Friday: Venus and Saturn stretch out a helping hand. It would certainly behoove you to take it, or at least think long and hard before turning it down. Their offer helps build or shore up an important foundation, within you for certain and possibly also in an external situation as well. If it requires your accepting responsibility for your side of a relationship equation, why not do it? That’s not merely an act of maturity, but also a step toward internal stabilization. And inner equilibrium is the point, ultimately, of this relationship lab we’re in. Yes, it’s good and helpful to have balance and harmony with the people in our lives, but the state of our dealings with them is really just a reflection of our own internal condition. When that is calm and in order, everything else follows. So do not reject today’s opportunity out of hand.

Saturday: We wake again in a void Moon, which lasts from midnight to noon EST. Dreams inside the void will be eye-opening, since the Moon kicks off the event with a trine to Uranus and sends lightning bolts flying. Your psyche gets a makeover, but unfortunately the circumstances you awaken into are the same as they were last night. Don’t expect the people around you to have been treated to the same enlightenment overnight as you were. (Yes, they were treated to some, but don’t assume their issues parallel yours.) Monitor your frustration and aggression as you ease into the day. It will be easy to resent obligations, chafe at restrictions or read a “no” into requests and responses. Communications stabilize after Mercury moves into Capricorn midday. Wait till after then to bring up topics with long-term consequences. If you are in the process of dismantling a relationship, as so many people are now, this afternoon is suited for maturely discussing the nuts and bolts of separating property and obligations.

Sunday: All of the day’s aspects belong to the Moon. The air is lighter and friendlier in the morning than early afternoon EST, when nerves will fray at slight provocation. Yesterday’s dreams and discussions shook up more than you realized at the time, which you will now see if the other party to a conversation overreacts today. If you’re the one making the outburst, trace it back and investigate what has you feeling threatened. If you’re on the receiving end of one, use the reflection theory of relationships to explore what buried part of yourself the other person is expressing. There’s no cosmic call to escalate anything into a federal case right now, so don’t jeopardize the respite. Tread lightly and the mood can stay that way, too.
