The Grand Cross of Sun/ Pallas, Earth, Juno, Jupiter/ Uranus is the star of the show this weekend, bringing strong emphasis on a conflict dynamic that may seem at this point to have no way of resolution. What’s wise/ smart is clear; there’s conflict, though, between the needs of the individual within her or his role in the group and the personal role that will bring empowerment. It’s a stand-off, so don’t expect any real answer–the best we can hope for is to work a compromise that’s relatively comfortable and workable. Further, Venus is sesquiquadrate Earth at this point, dragging values and relationships into the mix through the material demands these engender. This is a tough jumble of influences, the tension from which many will blame on holiday pressures, when the real focus is on our own internal struggle for personal empowerment within our own scene.

Pallas takes over as body of latest degree and Merc retro is conjunct, and hooked to the Sun as they are by conjunction means that we have a prevailing influence of wisdom and guidance, if we will only see it (it will be prominent, right in front of us, but some will manage to overlook it completely, likely complaining loudly about a lack of same!) Communications will, for a time (through to the inferior conjunction of the 20th) hold all that we need to know–and yet accessing/ recognizing that is the trick!
