Once again,
folks, there are big things happening astrologically this week. Many of us are still
recovering from the recent Uranus Pluto square on December 15th (I know I am),
but on December
21st, the Sun and moon move into the sign of Capricorn for a new moon that
marks the Winter Solstice and the official beginning of winter. Adding to the
mix is the fact that Uranus stations direct at 12 degrees of Aries. Could there
be a possibility for things to calm down?
As someone
who has Uranus retrograde natally, I am usually quite comfortable with Uranus retrograde,
but even I have to confess that the past couple of weeks have been uber
frenetic and I am looking forward to a little more stability.
Enter the
season of Capricorn. On December 21st, the sun and moon join Mercury, Venus and
Pluto in Capricorn. This heralds a more serious tone signaling a time to rest and
reflect. It is also a perfect time to set plans and intentions and create goals
for the new year. On December 20th, Venus conjuncts Pluto, deepening connections
and memories of emotional loss. But on the 21st, the day of the winter
solstice, Venus in Capricorn sextiles Chiron in Pisces, so there is room and the
opportunity for healing of those painful emotions. That winter solstice creates
a healing space for light to shine on those wounds. Bring it on! Mercury will
be conjunct Pluto in Capricorn on Christmas Day as well as sextiling Chiron in
Pisces, so don't count out a Merry Christmas full of honest, compassionate
communication.
But as a
true Scorpio, I can think of yet another important reason that Christmas 2014
will be a Merry Christmas. Drum roll, please - Saturn enters the sign of
Sagittarius on December 23rd! I'd wager that Scorpios are rejoicing about this
across the world after the past two and a half years!
There is
definitely a chance for new possibilities with Saturn in the sign of
Sagittarius because it is ruled by Jupiter, whose expansive nature tends to
lighten up Saturn's restrictive energy. Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto,
which tends to create a lot of drama and sturm and drang. And it is no cosmic
accident that Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is changing signs when the sun is
in Capricorn.
As Saturn
completes its transit through the last degree of Scorpio, a lot of dark
thoughts rise up from the depths so that we can release our worst fears. It's
important to remember that becoming conscious of our worst fears doesn't
necessarily mean that they are real; it makes infinitely much more sense to
interpret them as manifestations of our worst nightmares.
I love what
Michael Lutin said earlier this week in his Week in Review section on his site:
about Saturn leaving Scorpio:
"The
departure of Saturn from Scorpio can be that ecstatic moment after a bout with
constipation. Everything that has been stuffed inside mercifully comes out. It
is a time of healing. The process, however, demands that all the darkest
material is also released. Relationships always pass through the MOST scary
crisis, mainly because in a couple or partnership or even friend/colleague situation,
much time is spent AVOIDING REAL ISSUES and
discussing movies, politics, family or everything EXCEPT the real dynamics
driving you apart and keeping you from being close. Now only reality is
possible."
So could the
departing gift of Saturn in Scorpio be reality, an entrance into the light and the new possibilities that
Saturn in Sagittarius will make us work for? Time will tell.
I am also an
energy healer and Reiki, in addition to my psychic and astrology work, is
another tool at my disposal to help people heal and feel better. But Reiki can
actually help you feel better physically, whether you have a headache,
backache, muscle spasm, fibromyalgia, or any kind of physical pain. It is a
noninvasive, relaxing treatment. If you are in the Boston area, I urge you to
consider this as a holiday gift for yourself or loved ones.
