With Juno sesquiquadrate Zeus, Venus semi-square Chiron, and Mercury semi-square Neptune all perfecting today, we need to know that to succeed, we must know our own worth, be clear on our abilities, have specific goals, create no deceptions, and, as the vow says, ‘do no harm’. That’s the ‘what’; to find out the ‘why’, please subscribe!

1 January 2014 Wow—talk to others, talk to anybody, talk to yourself, or read, listen to programs or music, eavesdrop, whatever—communication will be a fount of wisdom today. You’ll learn a great deal, some of it useful, some of it merely awesome in its insight. As well, it will be very helpful dealing with the power structure glimpsed clearly today; we can see what we’re dealing with, see how to get our own status a lift, and will locate the knowledge and the skills to handle it all successfully. If we want it, we can put ourselves onto the path of greater power at this point—the appropriateness of this quest will rely on how you define power. (Mercury trine Pallas, Sun conjunct Pluto)

‘Composition With Violin’ by Dick Ket–Before 1940 {{PD-Art}}

19 December we may avoid seeing the true nature of power and its expression around us, and we might prefer illusion to ‘the real thing’. That would be a shame, and cost us knowing ourselves better. Embrace what’s wild and creative, and listen for the message in everything—everybody will be communicating whether they mean to or not—some may ‘forget’ important information. (Neptune sesquiquadrate Ceres, Mercury quincunx Sedna)

Today’s image is a beautiful carved music box. You pick it up, lift the lid–what song does it play? It’s a clue as to how you’re proceeding today–any statements, advice, or unflattering choices made by the subject(s) of the song or within the lyrics should be seen as cautionary or advisory, a direct pipeline from the Universe to you.

12 December we could see big payoffs for previous efforts, for following the rules, or for concentrating on constructive action. What we hear may not jibe with this—we may be told we’re losing love or money for our work—but that may be inaccurate, the feedback of someone who didn’t put in the hours that you have. Opportunities abound and are out in the open—go gather some. (Jupiter trine Saturn, Mercury semi-square Venus)

GE Hicks ‘Girl by the Shore’ 1878 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 7:46 PM PST of the 3rd; the Moon enters Capricorn at 10:50 PM PST December 3.

4 December brings our first true reactions to the surface linked to the New Moon; we see our ‘new’ place in Nature, we begin to assess the costs of change (some of which we judge to be decidedly unwise at this point), and we look to express our uniqueness without doing anything stupid. We are really just beginning to consider serious change (even if we feel like that’s all we’ve been doing!); we will begin assessing relationships in terms of the contact (or lack of it) they make with us at a Soul level. Our thoughts range far and wide, examining the possibilities for expansion into the future, and we get direct, material ‘hints’ as to what’s coming (watch for signs, symbolisms, and synchronicities!) It really is a day to think about ‘What Will Be’. (Uranus quincunx Pallas, Venus trine Sedna, sesquiquadrate Pallas, Sun sextile Ceres, Mercury enters Sagittarius)
