SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of December 18th ~ Mercury Direct and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new and hopefully improved SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, December 18th,  2011… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

 

…………………………………………………………………………………….

Well, this week seems to belong to delicious Venus – and fleet-footed Mercury is finally getting some legs under him so we’ll be seeing all sorts of things move forward in our lives.  Finally!  And…Venus will be entering Aquarius until January 14th, and love and beauty may be taking a breather and being a little more objective now.  Also, there may be an energy of experimentation and wanting to try new things and/or with new people.  Networking can be very potent now!   One thing to watch for this week is that on Tuesday, December 20th Venus will be squaring off with expansive Jupiter – and that can spell overindulgence with a capital O!  And that can relate to food, money and just plain over-optimism.  It will, however, be great for creativity!  And then on Wednesday, December 21st, Venus will dance with surprising Uranus – and spontaneity and the unexpected could dance into our lives.  Maybe even unexpected income!  Still, it’ll definitely add some fuel to the urge to overspend in money or energy!  But do watch for some tasty surprises this week!

…………………………………………………………………………………….

And now this week, I want to talk about how Mercury’s forward movement in Sagittarius will be affecting each sign.  And as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it… and be sure to read the SkyeWatch blog for a weekly/hourly forecast for the entire week)…

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING DECEMBER 11TH, 2011

Copyright 2003 Matrix Software – Big Rapids, MI 49307

 

18 Dec Moon Enters Libra 01:07 am MST

Give and take are what’s expected for the next couple of days, so expect to mix it up if you’re

going to make much headway. That doesn’t mean conflict, just active participation and the

willingness to change and be changed from moment to moment. It’s what both love and war

(and business) are made of, you choose the game, and the playing field.

 

18 Dec Moon Opposite Uranus 02:15 am MST 00 Libra40′

Moods swing erratically and otherwise stable situations may suddenly fall apart when you

least expect it, so whatever you are doing make sure you have a couple of backup plans just

in case. Don’t return harshness in kind, as it is only passing and now is not the time to make

or take offense. Choppy waters.

 

18 Dec  Venus Square Saturn 07:19 am MST  27 Capricorn19′

Whittling away at your needs too insistently may only serve to magnify them and force a

spiraling return to an overtapped well. If you take what you need and be done with it, what

you have will suffice, even if you have some reservations. Total satisfaction may have to wait

a bit, complaints don’t help, only annoy.

 

18 Dec Moon Sextile Mercury 10:24 am MST  05 Libra28′

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear

understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you don’t push

them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than

trying to emotionally break the mold.

 

18 Dec Moon Square Pluto 12:45 pm MST  06 Libra51′

Skullduggery may be afoot, and, at any rate, those out for their own ends at all costs are to

be avoided. And, avoid being one yourself. The inclination to beat a dead horse and use

repeated force to no avail is really self-defeating, although tempting. When in doubt, back off

and let others waste their efforts.

 

19 Dec  Sun Sextile Saturn 09:25 am MST  27 Sag24′

Small investments are the safest, and small returns mount up. Conservative thinking can pay

off if you don’t make a big deal out of it. Any boat you launch now will be hard to rock, even in

a storm, so it’s a good time to ease her away from the dock and put gradually to sea. The

world awaits, but don’t rush.

 

19 Dec Moon Conjunct Saturn 11:19 pm MST  27 Libra27′

The emotional waters are a bit on the cool side today and if you encounter the cold shoulder,

don’t be surprised. Put a toe in the water before you jump in or you might run into the big chill.

People taking themselves too seriously abound, so try not to be one of them. Take it all with a

grain of salt instead.

 

20 Dec Moon Sextile  Sun 00:17 am MST  28 Libra02′

Taking it easy and letting things happen will let opportunities continue to grow that are

already underway. Situations beginning now will be cooperative and helpful to you as they

progress. A general atmosphere of getting along together prevails and will continue to if you

just go with the flow.

 

20 Dec Moon Trine Neptune 01:13 am MST  28 Libra36′

It’s a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put

them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyone’s getting good reception.

Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level

guidelines.

 

20 Dec Moon Square  Venus 02:49 am MST  29 Libra33′

Watch out for conflicting goals and energy-wasting diminishing returns today. What may

seem like deceit could be just mixed emotions, or vice versa. Rather than jump into a stewpot,

let it boil a bit and see if it simmers down. When all get more certain of what they want, it will

be easier to move in concert together.

 

20 Dec Moon Enters Scorpio 03:33 am MST

The plot thickens, or seems to, for the next few days, as an atmosphere of open intensity and

perhaps hidden agendas raise passions and lower shades to facilitate what goes on behind

closed doors. Shallow and breezy won’t do, but when everybody’s trying to play the heavy,

take the melodrama with a grain of salt.

 

20 Dec Moon Opposite Jupiter 04:15 am MST  00 Scorpio25′

Rip tides of emotion swing and sway today, so make sure you don’t get carried away in the

undertow. The surroundings are turbulent but highly positive, so in order to pick up on them

you may have to tighten your focus — be ready to hop on board as the train rushes past.

When it’s over, it leaves everyone breathless.

 

20 Dec  Venus Enters Aquarius 11:26 am MST

Everything is worth a try for the next few weeks, and branching out to have a little of each is

what it’s all about. That of course includes taking the banal with the sublime, and if mixed

tastes are not your style you may want to tread water for a while. On the other hand, there will

be some dishes up for grabs you wish you’d known about earlier, so don’t turn a blind eye.

 

20 Dec  Sun Sextile Neptune 01:47 pm MST  28 Sag37′

Implicit understandings based on mutual visions are the opportunity of the day, so don’t take

your dreams for granted. What you share with others on the inner front greases the path to

harmony and profit, so anything you can cook up along those lines will provide you with a

tangible window to your imagination.

 

20 Dec Moon Sextile Pluto 03:01 pm MST  06 Scorpio56′

A sense of easy power without display makes working behind the scenes easier and waiting

for rewards more profitable. If you know you’re going to win, you needn’t show it, and all kinds

of competition and conflict is avoided. That goes for the rest of the world, too — win-win is

definitely the way to go.

 

20 Dec  Venus Square Jupiter 07:20 pm MST  00 Aquarius24′

An inclination to overdo beyond diminishing returns is fueled by the desire to get things just

right. One more added touch, just another taste, try it once again, until satisfaction goes out

the window. Sometimes less really is more, even if it doesn’t seem like it, so backing off may

save you both time and money.

 

21 Dec  Venus Sextile Uranus 00:57 am MST  00 Aquarius42′

You don’t have to go crazy trying to discover new sensations. Sometimes the slightest

variation in a time-honored recipe will turn things around with hardly any effort. Try a new

ingredient, a new position, a new side road — you’ll be surprised what’s just next door and

around the corner, and who’s doing it, too.

 

21 Dec Moon Sextile Mars 07:57 am MST  17 Scorpio11′

A firm, easy gait marks the day if you let the energy around you carry you along without

questioning it too much. That will be the general spirit of things, and if you join in it can get

you into situations with staying power that do not need extra energy to sustain long-term. Let

the general pace set yours.

 

21 Dec  Sun Enters Capricorn 10:30 pm MST

New Year’s resolutions are just part of the getting-earnest style of the next month, where

sincerity, business, and sometimes desperation are the drivers which themselves lose steam

when the New Year turns out to be just another new year. Pretending deadly seriousness can

be a kick, but living it is a drag, so play there, but don’t stay there.

 

22 Dec Moon Square Neptune 02:49 am MST  28 Scorpio39′

Mirages may pop up at any time, even if you’re not in the desert. Feelings and internal visions

can get muddled, and emotional miscommunication, either unintended or on purpose, may

get in the way. Misentanglements can snowball, so be ready to cut loose and try again later.

Avoid long-term commitments.

 

22 Dec Moon Enters Sag 05:03 am MST

The first reaction all around is a good laugh, especially when people are surprised by the

open truth. For the next couple of days, honesty is a pleasure and has crowd appeal, too, so

don’t be afraid to speak out without taking yourself too seriously. Big ideas are favored, but

may be slim on details.

 

22 Dec Moon Trine Uranus 06:13 am MST  00 Sag42′

This is a great day for bounding into unexplored territory, and you will find others are doing

the same. Inventiveness and originality are favored, as are projects and personal

involvements which partake of them. If you haven’t tried it, now’s the time, whatever “it” may

be. Open your eyes, listen up, try a taste.

 

22 Dec  Sun Trine Jupiter 07:33 am MST  00 Capricorn23′

If you want your plans to develop on track and evolve big time, this is the time to lay them on

the table. Imagination and inspiration go hand in hand with motivation and coordination more

than usual, so bring everybody together in that spirit and you’ll have an operation that can’t be

beat.

 

22 Dec Moon Sextile  Venus 08:54 am MST  02 Sag20′

It’s a good day for agreements and generally patting each other on the back — or, maybe, for

scratching each other’s backs. It will be easy to see eye-to-eye, and shared goals and

feelings can be put into action to bring later results. Mutual investment, mutual trust, and

relaxed progress are all in the atmosphere.

 

22 Dec  Sun Square Uranus 03:14 pm MST  00 Capricorn43′

Abrasiveness and annoyance are qualities you might be running into right now, so make sure

you’re not displaying them yourself. Impatience is not a virtue, even if you know you’re right,

and it’s easy for everyone to pointlessly butt heads. Schemes laid now may well be half-baked,

so take a second look, maybe a third.

 

22 Dec Moon Conjunct Mercury 08:11 pm MST  09 Sag11′

Time to be quick and make smart deals as the intellectual pace around you quickens. Where

you can put emotions into words, you will be at the top of the heap, as that’s going to be the

way to connect and build on your connections right now. Feelings get aired and a greater

sense of control and satisfaction results.

 

23 Dec Moon Square Mars 10:31 am MST  17 Sag51′

Feelings and actions at cross-purposes make this day’s blank slate one that you might not

want to write much on, but just write it off. Under any circumstances, don’t be hasty, and try

not to repeat yourself too many times because you didn’t hit the mark with the first shot.

Accept uncertainty, and certainty will arrive soon enough.

 

24 Dec Moon Sextile Saturn 03:04 am MST  27 Sag46′

The general air today is, let’s say, overcast but not unpleasant. Take advantage of the

relatively stable-but-cool emotional environment to mend fences, solidify old friendships, and

give a pat on the back. Faint praise is probably sufficient, as going overboard looks suspect.

Err on the safe side, others will do the same.

 

24 Dec Moon Sextile Neptune 04:36 am MST  28 Sag42′

Words may convey a bit more emotional meaning than usual, as under-the-radar

communication makes inner messages clear. Spiritual deeds are done without a second

thought and life as usual has a certain glow. Filling out earlier-imagined schemes pays off

and keeping good company comes with ease.

 

24 Dec Moon Conjunct Capricorn 06:48 am MST  00 Capricorn00′

Everybody is into getting down to business for a couple of days, though that may not

guarantee any business gets done. It’s all about the proper attitude, however, so be cautious

how you let your hair down, lest you be thought too frivolous. Showing all your feelings isn’t

the happening thing, for the moment, so tuck it in and toe the line.

 

24 Dec Moon Trine Jupiter 07:25 am MST  00 Capricorn22′

Emotional tides are strong and upbeat, and all you have to do is ride them as if you were born

to sail. Foundations laid today will be firm and supportive and continue to evolve that way.

Feelings of friendship abound and it’s easy to see the good side of anyone — just remember

there may be other sides, too.

 

24 Dec Moon Square Uranus 08:01 am MST  00 Capricorn44′

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in.

Simply agree to disagree and move on, as it’s easy to get caught up in pointless rows.

Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until

you can take a second look.

 

24 Dec Moon Conjunct  Sun 11:07 am MST  02 Capricorn34′

New Moon in Capricorn

When new year’s resolutions are based on fact, they’re hardly resolutions anymore, just

projections. So get a realistic perspective and make that your prospective and you’ll be ahead

of the game. It’s time for the new, but the new that you know and can rely upon. A small, firm

start is twice as good as a big, false one that has to be redone from scratch. Once you have

your foot in the door, you can bust it down with the next push. It feels compulsory to do

something right now, but the choice of action is up to you. This month, let it grow out of your

experience, not your speculations, however fertile they may be.

 

24 Dec Moon Conjunct Pluto 06:43 pm MST  07 Capricorn04′

Suppressed feelings can be transformed into compulsive actions all around, so it may be a

good time to question motives, both your own and others’. If you just have to do or say it,

perhaps you shouldn’t. Force plays are favored, just make sure you’re not on the wrong end

of one. Think deep before you push hard.

 

25 Dec Moon Trine Mars 02:12 pm MST  18 Capricorn29′

Today has strength and energy written all over it – a good time for a power breakfast, lunch,

or dinner and getting down to brass tacks on deals you want to see really pick up speed. Or a

good time for just getting out there and getting physical. A strong stride established today will

take you all the way to the finish line.

 

25 Dec Jupiter turns Direct 02:19 pm MST

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of December 11th ~ Mercury Direct, Powerful Lunar Eclipse ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new and hopefully improved SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report…

This is for the Week beginning Sunday, December 11th,  2011… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report at ww.achieveradio.com.

And visit my website at www.skyemackennaastrology.com…

. . . . .  

 

Well, 2012 is right around the corner – and what a year we’ve had!  It’s hard to believe that a whole year has passed – and it’s time to start planning for the new year – if we haven’t already!

 

And right on schedule, this week the energy is all about moving forward…

 

Mercury ends his last three-week retrograde period of the year on Tuesday, December 13th – at last!  So, now we can expect information to get flowing more easily, and any communications that have been problematic, snarled or delayed will also start working as Mercury picks up his speed during the coming weeks.  And, hallelujah, any misunderstandings are also on their way out – and we’ll all start to see clearly again!

 

For the last three weeks, since Mercury turned retrograde on November 24, we’ve been required to take a look at and review just about everything before we could move forward.  Now, we’ll be able to take action and  plan for the new year ahead!  All in perfect timing!

 

We’re also still very much being influenced by the December 10th Lunar eclipse in Gemini – and we will for the next six months or so.  Our thoughts and words are especially powerful  now  and we’ll become more aware  that those thoughts have the ability to either keep us stuck in the past – or heal it.  This will be an ongoing theme so we should set our intentions and move toward them.  Especially as we’re closing out this year and beginning the next, we’ll want to be clear about what we want to achieve and BE.  And since Uranus turned direct almost at the same time as the Eclipse, we’ll want to be ready to make changes on a dime and move quickly if necessary – and it likely will be!    

 

This is the companion to the Solar Eclipse we experienced on November 25th of this year, and about 18 years ago in May and June of 1993, there were eclipses that also occurred very near the same sign and degree – so think back to that time and you may see what kind of changes this Eclipse may bring. 

. . . .

 

And now this week, I want to talk about the powerful Lunar Eclipse in Gemini and how it will be affecting each sign.  And as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

(and be sure to read the SkyeWatch blog for a weekly, hourly forecast for the entire week)

Taurus

There can be a potential increase in your finances during the next six months of this eclipse period and your finances and money can increase in surprising ways, too.

Leo

Watch for your social life to increase.  New friends and networking will be expanding your world.  This can also be an exciting time for achieving some of your fondest hopes and dreams.

Virgo

This eclipse will be great for your career. Watch for advances, new jobs and more income to arrive.  You may also find yourself looking back in order to move forward professionally.

Libra

Look for exciting opportunities for new learning, possible travel and connection with people, places or things from a distance.  In essence, look for your world to expand!

Scorpio

Your partner may receive a raise or promotion that benefits you, too – and letting go of past restrictions will be a theme for you.  deep feelings can come up for you now.

Sagittarius

The emphasis is on you and your relationships to others. Relationships and partnerships of all kinds can become exciting for you – and be ready for them to go to new levels.

Capricorn

This energy is great for your job and career success. Look for opportunities and promotions, and even an opportunity for advancement in your work. A healthier lifestyle can also find you!

Aquarius

You could start a relationship or will end one. And this is a great eclipse period for creativity. Watch for fun and pleasure to increase over the next couple of months.

Pisces

The focus will be on your home and family. You will need to find balance with the two, and shifts and surprises can arrive in and around your home life so be ready for that!

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING DECEMBER 11TH, 2011

Copyright 2003 Matrix Software – Big Rapids, MI 49307

 

11 Dec      Moon Trine Neptune 03:25 am MST 28ÒGemini 25′

It’s a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put

them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyone’s getting good reception.

Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level

guidelines.

 

11 Dec      Moon Enters Cancer 06:27 am MST

Expect feelings to get a little more intense for the next few days, particularly due to bottled-up

emotions that people are trying to keep a lid on. It’s hard to say what you mean when there’s

so much expectation to deliver on every hand. Best to be utterly sincere but not say too much

that might set off hidden nerves or be seen as space invasion.

 

11 Dec      Moon Square Uranus 07:41 am MST  00ÒCancer39′

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in.

Simply agree to disagree and move on, as it’s easy to get caught up in pointless rows.

Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until

you can take a second look.

 

11 Dec      Moon Sextile Jupiter 07:50 am MST  00ÒCancer43′

Good feelings may be taken for granted today, so you might go out of your way to appreciate

them. Positive elements today are the little things in life, so invest in the small for the long

haul and you’ll be sure of a return. Look to get dividends, not a big turnover, and you’ll be

right in the flow as they grow.

 

11 Dec      Moon Opposite Pluto 07:04 pm MST  06ÒCancer37′

Stop-and-go feelings make headway a tough go, with breakthroughs only after a mighty push.

Although it’s in the air, it’s not necessary — when it’s time to push, just don’t. Wait, and the

barrier will go away. Nevertheless, it’s not an uninterrupted journey, but nothing a little

patience will not see you through.

 

12 Dec      Moon Sextile Mars 09:09 am MST  14ÒCancer04′

A firm, easy gait marks the day if you let the energy around you carry you along without

questioning it too much. That will be the general spirit of things, and if you join in it can get

you into situations with staying power that do not need extra energy to sustain long-term. Let

the general pace set yours.

 

12 Dec      Moon Opposite Venus 09:28 pm MST  20ÒCancer38′

Feelings and desires may tug and roil around you, and trying to cut an even balance may be

a challenge. Today’s beginnings may mature into tomorrow’s turmoils, so don’t fly off the

handle and don’t jump into something you’re not sure of. Let the waters settle until tomorrow,

then decide on it.

 

13 Dec      Moon Square Saturn 09:06 am MST  26ÒCancer54′

Sour grapes can be today’s flavor, and if you run into something that displeases, just drop it –

don’t push it past the edge. People are feeling insecure, so avoid encouraging any negativity

you encounter. New directions are not in order, as they won’t go far, so wait just a bit longer

to start your engine.

 

13 Dec      Moon Enters Leo 02:49 pm MST

Creative and uncensored feelings can make for an almost party atmosphere if you follow the

flow and avoid the usual impediments for the next couple of days. The world is looking for a

lover, and you can put yourself into that picture however you choose. Make a breakout, or

just let the rising tide carry you along.

 

13 Dec      Moon Square Jupiter 03:57 pm MST  00ÒLeo37′

It’s easy for everyone to get too wound up in their feelings and you could find yourself chasing

your tail in circles until you fall down. Even if you think you’ve got a big one on the hook, cut

your line if it takes too long to reel him in. Diminishing returns can tire everyone out, turn hope

to disappointment, so avoid them.

 

13 Dec      Moon Trine Uranus 04:00 pm MST  00ÒLeo39′

This is a great day for bounding into unexplored territory, and you will find others are doing

the same. Inventiveness and originality are favored, as are projects and personal

involvements which partake of them. If you haven’t tried it, now’s the time, whatever “it” may

be. Open your eyes, listen up, try a taste.

 

13 Dec      Mercury Ô 06:43 pm MST  03ÒSag51′

Several weeks of greater confusion than you’d have liked are on their way out and you can

get back to what you were doing with a bit more confidence and sense of purpose. Getting

roadblocks out of the way allows you to chart a surer course and feel better about what you

are doing and what kind of commitments you can make and live up to. Red herrings and

detours can be put behind you as you get back onto a map everybody can buy into. The cost

of delays and uncertainties is made up for by knowing that they no longer impede and that

you can now throttle up and get on some real speed.

 

13 Dec      Moon Trine Mercury 09:54 pm MST  03ÒLeo51′

Today is a good time to express your feelings with conviction, knowing that there will be

response in kind. Situations that arise now will have lasting clarity and a quality of self-

reinvention as they move along, as head and heart are on the same page and will tend to

remain that way.

 

15 Dec      Moon Trine Sun 09:07 am MST  23ÒLeo19′

Today’s accomplishments have a confident feel where what you do matches what you feel

and results down the line will move well accordingly. Contacts made now will serve you well,

and you won’t have to look back with suspicion or regret. If it feels right, it probably is, so put

your best foot forward and follow through.

 

15 Dec      Moon Sextile Saturn 03:50 pm MST  27ÒLeo06′

The general air today is, let’s say, overcast but not unpleasant. Take advantage of the

relatively stable-but-cool emotional environment to mend fences, solidify old friendships, and

give a pat on the back. Faint praise is probably sufficient, as going overboard looks suspect.

Err on the safe side, others will do the same.

 

15 Dec      Moon Opposite Neptune 06:20 pm MST  28ÒLeo31′

As soon as the fog lifts, it’s back again, and trying to steer a straight course will be hard for all,

so double-check information and go slow to avoid collisions. Misunderstood and/or misstated

feelings should be expected, so hurt feelings can be avoided. The ground is soft underfoot,

so step cautiously.

 

15 Dec      Moon Enters Virgo 08:59 pm MST

If you regularly pick up each stitch, you won’t be tripped up over the next few days. If not,

watch out for entanglements in small print and minor details that suddenly loom larger if you

overlook them. The feeling of a job well done awaits you, but only after you do it. If you’re

ahead of expectations, you’ll have it locked up tight.

 

15 Dec      Moon Trine Jupiter 09:55 pm MST  00ÒVirgo32′

Emotional tides are strong and upbeat, and all you have to do is ride them as if you were born

to sail. Foundations laid today will be firm and supportive and continue to evolve that way.

Feelings of friendship abound and it’s easy to see the good side of anyone — just remember

there may be other sides, too.

 

16 Dec      Moon Square Mercury 04:36 am MST  04ÒVirgo19′

This is probably a good time for all parties to back off a bit and make sure that what looks like

a great idea isn’t actually a hidden misunderstanding. What feels right may be impractical or

misleading, so a second look is in order to avoid having to reposition later. Don’t believe all

you hear, or all you say.

 

16 Dec      Moon Trine Pluto 08:56 am MST  06ÒVirgo47′

A sure confidence that all will be well, whatever happens, fills the air, and faith in yourself and

others is exactly what will make that come true. A great day for starting things that require

sustained confidence and follow-through. Mutual assurance breeds conviction and a platform

 

17 Dec      Moon Conjunct Mars 00:34 am MST  15ÒVirgo44′

Rash moves, overblown feelings, emotional conflict, and anger can be lurking around the

corner, so today’s a good day to take it easy and not push, or be pushed, too far. Similarly,

don’t let high energy push you in where angels fear to tread — overconfidence can get you

into hot water. Count to ten, then go ahead.

 

17 Dec      Moon Square Sun 05:48 pm MST  25ÒVirgo44′

Uncertainty and shifting grounds can mark the day’s outcomes, and confidence may retreat in

the face of a challenge. Confrontation is the wrong game to play, but pulling out entirely is

equally unsuitable. Make judicious compromise now and the resulting situation will improve,

but don’t chase diminishing returns.

Knowing what you want and moving on to procure it is the opportunity of the day, and what

you fall into now may be just the chance you’ve been waiting for. Sharing goals and deciding

to mutually go for it will be the best of all possible worlds for everybody, with a minimum of

conflict resulting later.

 

18 Dec      Moon enters Libra 01:07 am MST  00ÒLibra00′

Give and take are what’s expected for the next couple of days, so expect to mix it up if you’re

going to make much headway. That doesn’t mean conflict, just active participation and the

willingness to change and be changed from moment to moment. It’s what both love and war

(and business) are made of, you choose the game, and the playing field.

 

18 Dec      Moon Opposite Uranus 02:15 am MST  00ÒLibra40′

Moods swing erratically and otherwise stable situations may suddenly fall apart when you

least expect it, so whatever you are doing make sure you have a couple of backup plans just

in case. Don’t return harshness in kind, as it is only passing and now is not the time to make

or take offense. Choppy waters.

 

18 Dec      Venus Square Saturn 07:19 am MST  27ÒCap19′

Whittling away at your needs too insistently may only serve to magnify them and force a

spiraling return to an overtapped well. If you take what you need and be done with it, what

you have will suffice, even if you have some reservations. Total satisfaction may have to wait

a bit, complaints don’t help, only annoy.

 

18 Dec      Moon Sextile Mercury 10:24 am MST  05ÒLibra28′

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear

understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you don’t push

them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than

trying to emotionally break the mold.

 

18 Dec      Moon Square Pluto 12:45 pm MST  06ÒLibra51′

Skullduggery may be afoot, and, at any rate, those out for their own ends at all costs are to

be avoided. And, avoid being one yourself. The inclination to beat a dead horse and use

repeated force to no avail is really self-defeating, although tempting. When in doubt, back off

and let others waste their efforts.

 

19 Dec      Sun Sextile Saturn 09:25 am MST  27ÒSag24′

Small investments are the safest, and small returns mount up. Conservative thinking can pay

off if you don’t make a big deal out of it. Any boat you launch now will be hard to rock, even in

a storm, so it’s a good time to ease her away from the dock and put gradually to sea. The

world awaits, but don’t rush.

 

19 Dec      Moon Conjunct Saturn 11:19 pm MST  27ÒLibra27′

The emotional waters are a bit on the cool side today and if you encounter the cold shoulder,

don’t be surprised. Put a toe in the water before you jump in or you might run into the big chill.

People taking themselves too seriously abound, so try not to be one of them. Take it all with a

grain of salt instead.
