We’re in
full blown Sagittarius time now… looking at the big picture with Higher Mind;
viewing the world as a whole, not its parts, and seeing the diversity as an
amazing expression of creativity by our Maker ( I once said “give a chicken to
peoples around the world and they will each come back with a dish unlike the
others, showing us how we all use the same things, but express them in
different ways”.)
JUPITER THE PLANET OF BIG LOVE & GIVING
The world is full of wonders and Sagittarius wants to explore
them all with an open mind, and because of Jupiter, its ruler, a big abundant
heart befitting this planet who also rules over Justice and Our Highest
Spiritual selves. Jupiter is about BIG and loves to expand all it touches in a
happy, glorious way where possible. When Jupiter squares or opposes powerful
planets, there may be “too much” of a good thing, or even bad things getting
worse. But for the month of December, lets look at the upside of Sagittarius
and Jupiter, along with the holiday season, as a time of coming closer to
others, giving, sharing and enjoying the people in our lives.
WHAT DECEMBER IS ALL ABOUT
Holidays can be fraught
with racing around and stress – the right meal, the right present, the perfect
card, etc. Don’t forget anyone. Don’t spend too much, don’t spend too little;
or no money to spend and stress around that too. This is not what the Holy time
of year is supposed to represent. It’s the time to remember our spiritual
connection with the Universe, regardless of your religion. It’s
a time for love, the Universal kind – for sharing; for
telling people how much they mean to us; for showing kindness and to remember
we are spiritual creatures first, human bodies second. it is a time to thank
our Creator for our very lives, and for the blessings we have, regardless of
our problems. There is always something to be thankful for.
Take time now to share your
life with friends and family. Enjoy the holiday season like never before.
Send hand written notes to people you love and tell them how much they mean to
you and how they impact your life. Say please and thank you to people in
service, like retail stores and restaurants, to honor the God within and let
them know their efforts are appreciated. Smile at people on the street and say
hello in passing. We must build relationships with our global
family members and create a society that acknowledges one another. This
is the core of true spirituality – opening your heart to love. Stay at home New
Years Eve and share friends and family there. Call people you can’t be near and
tell them how important they even though you don’t see them often enough.
Spread the love and your heart chakra will open and bring tears of love and joy
to your eyes. Give thanks all through this period and make it a part of your
everyday life…thanks for the parking space in a busy area; thanks for the
perfect gift I found for someone; thanks for my job and coworkers who are my day
family and also important; send blessings to enemies and try to mend bridges
over fights that are unimportant in the scheme of things. Love
is the answer and there is no better time than Sagittarius energy than to do
this.
MARS TRINE JUPITER = ENERGY +
ABUNDANCE
December is pretty darn
good astrologically speaking. Mars (energy) is trine to
Jupiter(abundance), giving us the energy to complete tasks and accomplish goals. Mars
is Sextile Saturn (the material world) enabling us to make great strides with
focus and a plan and the energy to make it happen. Venus is Parallel the Sun, making
us sociable and makes for good gatherings. Venus moves into
Aquarius on the 7th which makes lovers of friends, or opens you up to the idea
that true love must include real friendship to last. The Sun is
sextile Jupiter, giving us optimism and luck at the same time.
Sun is conjunct transiting Saturn on the 10th, bringing up serious relationship
issues which, if met head on in an adult and serious fashion, can break down
barriers to happiness, depending on the house it transits in your chart. There
can be real achievement through hard work now.
DECEMBER 12 – SUN TRINE URANUS =
EXCITEMENT + CREATIVITY
The Sun is trine to Uranus
on the 12th, bringing excitement about new ideas and creativity. On the 15th
wish upon a star while Venus is inconjunct Neptune. December 14th is
a Full Moon in Gemini, which helps to make more logical and less
emotional decisions about matters. Then the 17 is another great day to make
friends, or cement friendships.
DECEMBER
19 – MERCURY RETROGRADE BEGINS
On the 19th Mercury goes
retrograde so expect 3 weeks of your brain not functioning at top speed. Give
it a break where possible. This is truly vacation time for your mind, which
happens 3 times a year. Expect travel issues, lost mail, old friends popping
back into your life, things previously lost will be found; errors made come up
for correction, etc
DECEMBER 21 TO JANUARY 1 – LOVE
+ STRENGTHENED FRIENDSHIPS
The 21st is great for love and strengthened friendships. From the 21st through Jan 1 there is a hiccup in energy, where stressful forces are at work and can cause extreme chaos. Don’t live in fear about it. Focus on the love and we can overcome and even mitigate a bad event. The 24th Saturn trines Uranus making it possible to transform brilliant ideas into reality. Great connections can be made too.
CHRISTMAS DAY – EXTRA SPECIAL
JOY & BLESSINGS!
On Christmas day Venus trines Jupiter and sextiles Uranus and Saturn
from 8AM – 3PM. It is so powerful, these contacts between Venus and the other
planets. This Christmas day can be very extra special, so take advantage of all the love in the
air. Friendships, family and love relationships are all blessed in such a beautiful
way. Don’t blow it all around 4:30 with paranoid thinking about suspecting so
much good energy!! Don’t worry, be happy!
DECEMBER 26 – EXPECT THE
UNEXPECTED
On December 26th new
energies take hold, Jupiter opposing Uranus, an expansion of Uranian energy,
which is unpredictable and can go to extremes. This is the beginning of a long
term aspect of the unexpected in big ways, for good or bad.
On December 29th, Uranus
turns direct. Planets in retrograde are in a state of finishing up loose ends,
so Uranus is done looking over its shoulder for missed “to do’s” and is now
headed forward into the new year ready to shake things up, things that haven’t
been shake up yet. So expect more revolutionary ideas coming out
daily.
FOCUS ON LOVE
& BONDING
So as you can see most of December is truly about love, family and
friendships. Focus on
love and bonding. Fill your heart with love and the gift of sharing with
others. Have a great Holiday and make many beautiful memories. Learn to open
your heart and live in love as a habit. It will make your life so meaningful
and joyful.
