Weekly December 27

Monday
The Moon is void of course in Virgo from 7:20 am to 12:38 pm. The Moon opposes Uranus and Jupiter early and the day could begin with confusion, changes of plans, and a need to scale things down.  Exaggeration could create anxiety or drama. Take it easy and slow this morning. Burn off Virgo Moon energy with a good workout or an attempt at reorganizing after the holiday.  Avoid making firm plans or decisions that could be hard to change.  The Libra Moon squares Pluto and the Sun in Capricorn indicating we'll work hard for what we accomplish today.  Taking an objective approach is a good idea. Avoid judgments.  Tonight is more suited to work than play.  Get a few tasks accomplished.  Today's color is lavender.

Tuesday
The Libra Moon squares Mars and meets Saturn indicating challenges today.  Saturn says take or seek wise advice.  Our elders are ruled by Saturn, and in Libra Saturn urges us to be objective, weigh pros and cons and act in fairness to others.  Mars in Capricorn is industrious and while some of us will motivate for big challenges, others may be overwhelmed or find frustrations, for example things may not proceed quickly enough or organization may be lacking.  Seeking consensus with partners is likely in work situations, especially for Libra, Taurus, and Capricorn.  Tonight things ease a bit and we continue Mercury's quest to get us back together with old friends.  Mercury in harmony with the Moon puts us in a more outgoing mood tonight. Sagittarius and Leo will want to socialize.  Wear gray.

Wednesday
The Moon is void of course from 10:05 am to 3:49 pm and then moves to Scorpio.  The void of course hours are like an adjustment time and not a great time to take on new projects or business. Get back to unfinished tasks and do other relaxing things.  Mars is square to Saturn which can trigger frustrations and difficulties.  Some of the issues activated include legalities since Saturn is in Libra and administrative and management since Mars is in Capricorn. The Scorpio Moon is in harmony with Pluto tonight, and things that are kept hidden or secret have great appeal as will mysteries.  The depths of feelings and the intricacies of puzzles and a dose of Scorpio passion make for an interesting night.  This is the last full day of Mercury retrograde. Leo, Sagittarius and Aries connect with familiar faces and places. Today's color is maroon.

Thursday
The Scorpio Moon is in harmony with Capricorn planets and the Sun. These two signs are not known for being open and expressive. However, the feelings between us should be good and fairly easy going. Mercury retrograde ends at 2:21 am. Make your moves cautiously still since the 24 hours surrounding that time are very changeable and potentially complicated.  Today, look inward and see if you need to change your plans or paths.  Decide tomorrow or in the new year. Take other people and situations as they come and relax into the last two days of 2010. If you're trying to extract someone's secrets or feelings, today is not the day.  Give each other respect and privacy and trust your instincts with all of that. Scorpio Moon is extra intuitive. Tune in. Wear indigo blue.

Friday
The Scorpio Moon could be a bit moody or introverted early in the day. There's a need for focus and possibly down time, especially for Sagittarius and for Gemini who may have work or other things to attend to.  The Moon is in harmony with Pisces planets and meets Venus, so we'll feel emotional and have psychic moments of insight. It's also a very creative day for artists and songwriters.  Mercury is no longer retrograde and the urge to move and change may be really kicking in, especially tonight. The Moon moves to Sagittarius for an adventurous, potentially wild New Years Eve. It's a night to go out and do something other than the usual/. Sagittarius is very bold and honest so the truth may come out and declarations will be made.  Take each other seriously since some of this honest talk may have been building up during the retrograde and it needs to explode like a carbonated bottle! There's an independent streak in the air as the clock strikes 2011. Open your mind. Wear purple.

Saturday
There's a Sagittarius Moon and no exact planetary aspects on New Year's Day. This looks great for fresh starts and breaking out of patterns since Sagittarius is a free thinking, philosophical and independent sign.  Travel will be appealing even if it's just to get out of town for a few days. Engage in conversations about life, make plans, get out of patterns you might have returned to during Mercury retrograde.  There will be changes of course in the days ahead, and now is the time to rethink and consider options before a solar eclipse and New Moon on Tuesday the 4th.  Go somewhere interesting or have an inspiring talk today. Tonight is friendly and fun as the Moon approaches Mercury once again, marking the first conjunction of the new year.  It sparks our sense of adventure and connects us with friends. Wear red.

Sunday
The Sagittarius Moon meets Mercury and is in harmony with Neptune favoring friendship. It's an extrovert's day.  Neptune is in Aquarius, and both signs think globally, seeing the big picture. It's a time to make sure you're not locked into a situation you want out of. We're getting ready for a New Moon that comes with a solar eclipse in Capricorn on Tuesday.  Eclipses take matters to the next level, and though we don't control the activity at eclipse time, we can be prepared to act and respond to changes around us.  Today, consider opportunities and other changes you might welcome.  Tuesday is a better day for real resolutions (vs. New Years Day).  Have some fun during daylight hours. Tonight a does of reality kicks in along with potential mood swings as we get ready for Monday and for many of us, a return to routine.  Wear yellow.

Weekly December 20th

The last full week of 2010! And a lunar eclipse rings out the year Tuesday!

Monday
The Moon is Full at 3:13 am tomorrow, so essentially we are there! This Full Moon comes with a lunar eclipse and keep in mind that lunar relates to emotions yet Gemini is an air sign of intellect. We could over think when what we need to do is intuit. This week it will be important to go with the flow and not react too strongly or too quickly.  An eclipse indicates big shifts as people come and go from our lives, and potentially, our perspective gets an overhaul. It's Gemini Moon time and a very busy and mixed day in the stars. Mercury is the major player, opposite the Moon creating quite a stir. Big talks, things to negotiate, and a return to topics from the past in the forecast during this Full Moon. Everything is up for discussion, rethinking, and change.  Information overload is also likely and we may have to shut down for a while and recharge at times today through mid week. Gemini Moon can trigger plenty of nervousness or anxiety and the Full Moon only increases that! Do relaxing things, and remember, commitment is a bad word while Mercury is retrograde. Try things out and see how they develop this month. Wear white.

Tuesday
The Moon is Full in Gemini and then moves to Cancer at 4:22 am. This is the Winter Solstice and the Sun lights up Capricorn making it exact at 6:39 pm. Today is very changeable and unpredictable with many planetary, solar and lunar aspects to consider. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is in harmony with Neptune near Full Moon time, adding an element of illusion, creating a dreamlike atmosphere, and boosting creativity, while also making our judgment very unreliable and skewed. Be careful about decisions and conversations you have now.  Misinformation and gossips are likely! Don't believe everything you hear and try not to act rashly or with too much emotion.  Reactive is a good word to describe this Full Moon and lunar eclipse. Eclipses accelerate events rapidly. With Mercury retrograde's slowing effect this could be quite confusing.  We don't have much control when eclipese do their work, but we can always control our responses. Be thoughtful and listen, and as much as possible let things unfold. The Moon is opposite Pluto dredging up old feelings and business. Moods swing easily.  Have calming influences around you. Don't buy into the drama if you can help it. There's bound to be plenty! Cancer Moon time brings out our defenses and sensitivities.  You might feel like you're walking on eggshells. Sagittarius and Capricorn that may be most true in close relationships.  Gemini, negotiate business carefully and sign off cautiously.  Libra, be willing to lead the troops if necessary. Wear light blue.

Wednesday
As we begin to come out of Full Moon madness, delusion and potential drama as well as a whirlwind of social activities, the Cancer Moon today pulls us to family and home and/or whatever we find comforting.  The Moon works with Venus in Scorpio for sentiment and feeling from the heart.  There's a peak of intuition, so trust your instincts about people and situations.  We'll tend to be protective of people and of our own feelings.  Business-wise, act conservatively and spend carefully.  The Moon squares Saturn in Libra reminding us to be fair, especially with family members.  Tonight, being home is appealing as is preparing and eating good food. Wear blue.

Thursday
There's an optimistic Leo Moon kicking in at 7:50 am and lingering til early Christmas morning.  This is very good for lightening moods, gathering friends, and even easy going shopping trips.  The Moon is in harmony with Jupiter and Uranus early, putting us in giving and compassionate moods.  Clear sailing for this Leo Moon today! Kids will want attention and playfulness rules! Throw a little party or attend  big event.  The Leo Moon sparkles! Wear gold.

Friday
The Leo Moon is in harmony with Mercury retrograde on Christmas Eve. Reunions should feel very festive! It's a perfect time to reconnect, forgive and forget, and create some good times.  Leo Moon can also be a confidence builder. Praising and showing appreciation may come more easily. The Leo Moon is also not bad for last minute shopping. Do save receipts though! Leo loves to give, and generosity is in the forecast. The bright and sparkly, fun and light Leo Moon spirit is only slightly affected by Saturn and Venus reminding us to be responsible and fair with each other.  Today's color is red.

Saturday
The Moon is void of course from 4:28 am to 10:14 am EST. It's a good morning to relax and do leave plenty of time for travel and other activities.  It's not a good time to be in a rush. The Moon moves to Virgo and is in harmony with the Sun and Pluto in fellow earth sign Capricorn. Honoring traditions will feel good today.  Things should fall together pretty easily and the trines in the zodiac help us with both practical tasks and personal relationship matters that tend to come up during the holidays.  Wear navy blue.

Weekly December 13th

Here's a blog about Mercury Retrograde from Jackie Major Major Mantra

Monday
When heavenly bodies meet at the same degree of a sign it's called a conjunction, and today we have one after another in Pisces and Capricorn! First of all, Mercury retrograde meets both Pluto and Mars, Scorpio's co-rulers, and it's combustible energy! Be very careful with words in both writing and conversation! Mars and Pluto indicate we will not take kindly to criticism or debate.  Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer and Capricorn could be in the middle of very heated, possibly long overdue, discussions.  Above all, watch your words. We get caught in lies or deception at times like this.  Don't double book yourself of someone will feel slighted. Grudges may emerge too.  It's not a very nice retrograde action today, and our plans and dealings with other people, including on a business level could easily be strained, difficult or incredibly troublesome.  Aries, protect your reputation this week.  Leo, work situations are involved.  The Pisces activity could help balance things a bit, as the Moon meets lucky Jupiter instilling compassion and triggering creative impulses.  The Moon also meets Uranus, and we may be surprised by turns of events or even our own feelings.  The tendency to be very emotional is high with this action in Pisces! With Mercury retrograde don't assume anything is a done deal.  This is not a great time to initiate either new business or new relationships.  Tonight the Moon is void of course after 7:39 pm making it great for yoga, meditation, artistic endeavors and holiday decorating. There's a spiritual side to the night, but there's also confusion in the air.  Wear white.

Tuesday
The Moon is in Aries as of 2:14 am, squaring the Capricorn planets including Mercury retrograde! If the week began with difficulties, today continues the trend, however squares give us a chance to put effort in and try to make things right.  For example, put a temporary solution in place, agree to disagree for now, or find a way to re-organize so things will work better.  This does not come without debate, hard work and willingness to slow down and listen to each others.  Power struggles are very likely today, and Aries, Capricorn, Cancer and Libra appear to be impacted on a personal level.  Protect your reputation this week. Make simple decisions that allow for a change of mind in the new year if not sooner.  Don't push the envelope with anything if you can help it!  Scorpio, your work and daily routine need both focus and a streamlined approach. Leo, that continues for you too though you are more likely to be energized and productive or inspired.  Capricorn and Libra, home and family issues need attention.  Aim for fairness and simplicity.  Go for short term solutions. Tonight the Moon approaches an opposition with Saturn. It might be hard to laugh things off and the mood is serious overall.  Stick with routine and structure.  Wear red.

Wednesday
The Moon is in Aries opposite Saturn. Aries tends to be a mover and shaker, active and sometimes impulsive. That may be how we feel, but the reality checks imposed by Saturn are a reminder to be structured, disciplined, and with that Libra influence, fair and balanced.  Move slowly and methodically. Avoid rash decisions or quick judgments.  Thinking things out is the best plan today, and with Mercury retrograde, keep things simple. Relationship tension and expectations of other people may make today difficult.  Legal matters call for attention, but it's a difficult time to resolve things permanently.  Virgo and Pisces, check bank accounts and credit card statements for errors.  Try to verify all information and double check things today.  Criticism comes more easily than praise now.  Think before snapping back at the boss or anyone else for that matter.  Tonight the Moon and Sun begin aligning in Aries and Sagittarius and a burst of energy is due! Wear yellow.

Thursday
The Moon is void of course from 6:41 am to 1:49 pm EST. This morning is good for relaxation, exercise or fun things, but not so good for serious business.  Try not to be rushed or pressured.  We can be forgetful at times like this so check the calendar and your bank account balance and remember to bring what you need for the day.  The Moon moves to Taurus and is in harmony with Mercury retrograde bringing people back into our lives now. Reconnection is in the forecast, and Taurus, Capricorn, and Pisces may reestablish friendships this week.  Sagittarius and Gemini, you could be revisiting old business.  The Sun and Jupiter form a square and Sagittarius this is very much about you, your home and your family. It's a chance to work through things with a flexible approach and open mind.  Pisces, for you this relates to career and your image. You might be image conscious now with good reason.  tonight the Taurus Moon favors comforts of home and good friends. It's also good for focus if you have things to accomplish.  It's a fairly optimistic day and night.  Wear green.

Friday
Relationships and love lives are prominent in today's forecast as the Moon opposes Venus in Scorpio and forms a trine to Mars in Capricorn.  Taurus Moon is loyal, however Venus in Scorpio is somewhat secretive and complex.  There's strong chemistry in the air, but issues of privacy, affairs, grudges, and obsessions are stirred up. Taurus and Scorpio may get the extremes of passion or problems.  Mars and the Moon favor connections for the earth signs, Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus.  Other than our love lives, this Taurus Moon fosters persistence and work ethic.  Tonight is great for being with old friends or family reunions and parties. Wear pink.

Saturday
Mercury backtracks into Sagittarius today. Travel delays and other hold ups and mix ups are likely. We may have to return or exchange things, revisit conversations from a couple of weeks ago, and trouble shoot.  It's a tough day to be on a schedule.  The Moon is in Taurus for most of the day and we start warming up for Tuesday's Full Moon. With that comes a feeling of deadlines looming. This is a decent day to get things done.  The Moon and Neptune square and the truth may be hard to determine.  Tonight the Moon moves to Gemini shortly after 10 pm EST, which may be good for parties and social situations.  Wear blue.

Sunday
The Moon is in Gemini, getting close to Full! Don't be surprised if things feel a bit frenetic! The Sun and Mercury retrograde meet in Sagittarius which really stimulates our urge to travel, may give a burst of fiery energy, and feels fun if you don't have anything too serious on your plate.  Today is not the most reliable, but it could bring some good surprises, an old friend, or a chance to do something out of the ordinary.  Be careful driving and traveling because we're likely to be in a hurry and distracted too! Wear yellow.

Monday
The New Moon in Sagittarius yesterday sparks the week ahead! Mercury is close to retrograde now so save all receipts and leave flexibility in decisions you make. The urge to move on things is strong and Sagittarius is not a sign that hesitates.  The Moon squares two planets in Pisces and we're reminded not to overdo or be too extravagant.  The new and different, even unusual, is attractive today.  On a small scale you might try a different or exotic recipe. On a larger scale, major travels, studies and adventures that open your world up are favored.  The Moon and Neptune give today both a friendly and a philosophical vibe and we might like to share ideas, stories and musings on life and the world.  Get into a good conversation.  The Moon is void of course from 4:46 to 6:18 pm then moves into Capricorn.  The Moon meets Mars at 4:46, which can be either overstimulating or deliver the burst of energy you need!  Try to avoid pointless arguing.  The Capricorn Moon is good for work and study tonight. The Moon in harmony with Venus at 12:53 am tomorrow creates the right atmosphere for love and friendship too.  Capricorn and Scorpio energy doesn't make us overly expressive though.  Working out practical plans and partnerships with each other is more the case.  Cancer you may find this very helpful in your relationships if you seize the moment.  Wear gray today.

Tuesday
The Capricorn Moon is helpful whether you're getting organized for final exams, travel or holiday shopping. Mercury retrograde starts Friday but we are in the shadow degrees of that now.  Mercury is in Capricorn. Save all receipts and build in flexibility. Go for temporary over permanent.  A practical attitude is called for this week.  Mars moves to Capricorn today too.  Mars in Capricorn is industrious and has a get it done attitude.  The zodiac is busy with lots of aspects and influences. The Sun and Saturn encourage us to make the most of connections and friendships that could work for us beyond just socializing.  Get the right player on your team!  Tonight the Moon and Saturn form a square and we are really challenged to discipline ourselves and do the right thing by people.  Wear black today.

Wednesday
By now you may be noticing Mercury's proximity to retrograde time! It happens in the form of plans that can't quite be nailed down solid, communication mix ups, and a feeling of uncertainty about decisions.  Things come back for rethinking and revisiting.  We're on the heels of a New Moon, but that urge to move forward is tempered by hold ups or not having quite all the necessary information.  December plans may move slow or change as they go along.  Be ready to change your mind or your path. The retrograde starts Friday morning.  Today the Moon is in Capricorn working with with planets in Pisces helping us balance creativity and logic as well as emotions.   Team up with someone unlike you for best results and most productivity.  Venus is in harmony with Pluto bringing up relationship secrets and pushing us to resolve things and come clean if necessary.  That affects Scorpio and Capricorn as well as Taurus and Cancer indirectly.  Be willing to have an honest talk but make sure you're clear so those Mercury mix ups don't come back to bite later on.  Wear green.

Thursday
The Moon moves to Aquarius at 2:30 am. Today's only action is the Moon square to Venus, the planet of love now in Scorpio again.  This is stubborn energy in fixed signs so it will be hard to budge someone. Disagreements between partners can heat up. It's better not to push too hard with energy in reluctant, often secretive Scorpio.  Aquarius, you might find this affects your career or public persona more that personal relationships, however, Scorpio as well as Leo and Taurus may be heavy in the mix of stuck situations. Other than that, the Aquarius Moon is good for logical thinking and planning.  This is the last official day before Mercury retrograde, but still keep alternatives and options as open as possible.  Decide and act, but leave room to change your mind too. Be clear with communication.
Wear turquoise.

Friday
It's the first day of this Mercury retrograde time and it begins in Capricorn. The first and last days can be the most confusing, so stick with routine as much as you can.  We're prone to delays, misunderstandings and poor judgment.  Take it easy. The Moon is in Aquarius in harmony with saturn. get together with a friend or colleague to get things accomplished. Team up! The best part of today is the reconnections urged by Venus in Scorpio in harmony with Mercury retrograde. Forgiveness or reestablishing relationships of all kinds is the effect!  On days like this we hear from old friends or run into people we haven't seen in a long while.  It's a social night.  Wear blue.

Saturday
The Moon is void of course from 8:09 am to 1:40 pm EST then shifts to more sensitive, emotional Pisces.  Today is very changeable! Make only simple decisions if possible. It's not a very good day for holiday shopping but it is a good day for other enjoyable events!  The Moon meets Neptune in the morning for a magical, dreamy (but not very reliable!) time.  The Pisces Moon is in harmony with Mars and Pluto.  Feelings and intuition are stimulated as well as creativity!  Take your time and go with the flow.  Pushing things will only be frustrating. Go easy on yourself and everyone around you.  Today's color is green.
