TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9The Day of Mars in Airweek and the fiery warrior planet cools off a bit in Aquarius. The rational tendencies of this highly intelligent air sign put the focus on ideas and high ideals, rather than Mars' usual primal passions.The mind is the great battlefield; ideas are the weapons of choice. This is a time when we may be more comfortable fighting for a cause than for ourselves. There's a bit of detachment with Aquarius, which means that Mars' anger may not be easy to trace to its source now. When feelings are strong, look behind them to find the personal reasons for such intensity. Mars has to do with methodology, or the way we get things done. Mars in Aquarius does not like to follow the rules or anyone else's plan. Invention and originality are favored now, so sticking to tradition and custom may be difficult.Before dawn, Moon goes VOC in Cancer, where it’s considered beneficent and where it will remain until 7:14 pm (10:14pm ET) doing business, shopping for and fixing food, uncluttering the home, calling mom and writing poetry. A contact with Venus brings in sensitivity and warmth, making this afternoon and evening great for spending time with kids—to cook together, play and talk about feelings. You might also enjoy a tender movie, nurse the ill, or direct this fertile fusion in creative projects.

The Day of Mercury in Airweek and the Info Guy, has very mixed feelings about being in Sagittarius. Expansive Sagittarius can be overwhelming to detail-oriented
Mercury. Small things are easily blown out of proportion. Facts are out of whack. Tall tales abound. Yet, this is also when the lens of perception is widened and
the mind opens. Mercury in Sagittarius can be a time of enthusiastic words, confident messages and creative communication, but big promises may stretch the truth.
The trick is to drop your prejudices, but not your reason. In the desire to find one big answer to all of life's questions it is easy to overlook nuance and appreciate different points of view. Sagittarius looks toward the future, so that perceptive Mercury's presence here supports visions of tomorrow. The trick is to in all the details so that the picture you're selling is the one that actually develops. VWith the Moon in Leo as the Sun rises, some may shave Celtic crosses on the rumps of consenting pooches and airbrush infrared barcodes on the haunches of catnip-tripping felines, but most won’t. Leo represents the period of when as children we begin primary school, which is the first detachment from the family structure, where we learn to make relationships and satisfy the need to be loved in the Games provide a way to relate to others and they teach us to accept and make rules, the basis for being able to structure our lives (from 7 to 13 years old). On the World Scale, Leo is between 3,000 to 800 BC when both the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations flourished, when religion became monotheistic, where one being represented or was, God on Earth. During this Time of Pharaohs and Kings, Lion images proliferated in architecture and monuments, for the Lion is of course, King of Beasts. With the Moon in Leo today we may be seeking romance with a flare for the dramatic..Don’t let an insecure ego run rampant trying to overcompensate for what you think you don’t have. It’s easy to turn emotional incidents into high drama. Build emotional security by using your willpower. Be romantic. Love. Revel in the warmest kindest most tender parts of yourself. Today's dramatic Leo Moon provokes us to do whatever we feel is necessary to be seen and heard. We’re not happy sitting on the sidelines; we yearn to be in the midst of the game. We’re eager to start new projects that express our creativity while there are so many planets fueling the action-oriented fire signs. However, once playful Venus climbs into ambitious Capricorn, we’re willing to sacrifice having fun if we can be assured of success.After several weeks of light-hearted and philosophical socializing, Venus moves into Capricorn, helping us focus on personal and business relationships of lasting consequence and get our finances in order. Moon in Leo lends vitality and creative inspiration to support our focus, and connects with the outer planets to open a window of consolidation for projects and intentions that have been central
for most of the year.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Air. Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow. Jupiter is the largest of all the true planets, its mass greater than the rest of them combined. Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth and optimism. Known as "The Greater Benefic," it symbolizes good luck and fortune. In the ancient Indian language Sanskrit Jupiter is called "guru" or teacher. This fits its association with the higher mind, philosophy, truth and religion. Perhaps Jupiter's good fortune derives from the larger perspective it provides on life in general and our own circumstances.Leo symbolizes individual expression and creativity. Jupiter's presence in this bold sign emphasizes the power of one person to make a statement that will be heard by the world. The capacity to get people to stand up and take notice is likely to be expanded during this entertaining and dramatic time. Jupiter's pursuit of meaning can be enhanced by taking personal risks and an opening of the heart, with which the sign Leo is associated.
The negative side of this transit, however, can be excessive glorification of the ego. Pride in self is healthy, but boundless pride is a blinding light that darkens, rather than illuminates. This can be a time of "bread and circuses," when meaningful questions are buried in the noise of spectacle. Serious inquiry may not come easily when bombast rules the land.Jupiter, God of luck, rules thrice. Thursday is his day, and today Moon connects with his planet, as well as Sun and Mercury, both in Sagittarius, his sign. Optimism, fun and luck run high, making this a good day to dance, have an adventure, creative breakthrough, or any encounter where charm is important.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12
On this Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Moon enters her sign, Virgo, and connects with Venus and Neptune, planets of the sacred feminine and of personal and
unconditional love, respectively. Virgo represents the period from 13 to 23 years old, when mental growth dominates our lives and many attend institutes of higher learning. Many binding choices are made and the rules and details of society are learned. On the World scale Virgo is between 800 BC and AD 400, when classical civilizations like Greece and Rome flourished, when culture, science, philosophy, politics dominated. By AD 300the Books of the New Testament were chosen to support the beliefs of the Christians who formed the political organization of the Church. The naive excepted the surface value, while initiates were forced to hide (occult) their rituals and teachings. Until now. Even above Earth, there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you laugh till you stopped." How can you believe in astrology?," angry, drunken Basque separatists have asked me. I tell them that astrology is not a belief system, but an archetypal, poetic language. I don't ask you if you believe in Japanese. I ask if you speak it. I don't ask you if you believe in music, I ask if you play it. I happen to speak the heavenly tongue of astrology along with thousands of other highly intelligent, inspiring, spiritual and even scientific astrologers. If I never have to deal with angry, drunken Basque separatists who have stolen the Shroud Of Turin again, it'll be too soon. Still, if my destiny is to be an untransformed seed-cum-manure of a man - or to put it another way - if I can at least be the source of unconscious friction that triggers another Christ or Buddha's urgency to awaken, then so be it. Fertilize my ego! The present portal can help us recover the purity of our original nature as co-creators of a kinder and more beautiful world.
Focus on new ways of expressing your affection, being of service or making headway on an artistic and/or altruistic endeavor.
At 4:44 in the morning: you won't see a cop or a raccoon; you can pee in full phantasmagoria under the stars in the night with the wind high and salty
and the dome of the sky in full splay sprayed and contusioned upon the black upon the twisted wicked love of the cypress in decline.
Someday I'd like to stop three feet from the top of Everest. "Fuck it, I'm not going a single inch further." I'd say and turn around.
