Are U Wrapping Up 2012 or R U 29 and Holding? Sun Opposes Jupiter

As we wrap up the remaining 29 days of 2012, we can begin to take stock of the year we are leaving behind us. The Sun in "Adventurous" Sagittarius Opposes Jupiter in "Analytical" Gemini today marking the end of the yearly Sun/Jupiter cycle that began on May 13, 2012. The Sun represents "you," as well as, where you shine and how you interact with the world around you. Right now, the Sun is in "Optimistic" Sagittarius encouraging you toward freedom, travel, and exploration. Jupiter enlightens your philosophical nature and enhances your spirituality, higher truths and moral values. Additionally, it can motivate you towards higher aspirations, particularly in career goals or spiritual attainment. Jupiter is now in the sign of "Maverick" Gemini encouraging you to analyze your life and communicate about your ideas and plans. Gemini energy can help you develop clever ideas on how to get yourself out of a jam. Anything that you didn't get accomplished in 2012, may become apparent to you now. Don't fret! This realization is part of a growth cycle that allows you to redirect your energies to improve your life. Sometimes, the best-laid plans need revamping or you may decide to change course. 

If you've gone a bridge too far, now's the time to re-group and patch up the plans that seemed to be working fine months ago. Alternatively, you can re-work your plan and develop a new strategy moving you toward future success.When that's done, you can move along confidently again with wind in your sail. Be aware of the sign posts & roadsigns to guide you on your path.
  
As a complimentary planetary aspect, the Moon forms a harmonious aspect to Mercury making it easy to talk about what's on your mind and come to realistic solutions. It's a good time to get together with some good friends for social chatting or hit a cafe in the neighborhood.


This evening, the Moon enters "Imaginative" Leo bringing out your more demonstrative side, enhancing creativity and giving you a chance to be the "ham" or steal the show. 
During a Leo Moon is a great time for the movies, comedy, romance, chocolates, pampering and a little frisky business. Catch the Spirit of it and use your imagination!

Spice Up Ur Weekend; 3 Planets in Sexy Scorpio!

Expect things to liven up this weekend and you may have the opportunity to spice up your sex life. 3 planets are in the sign of "Sensual" Scorpio - Mercury, Venus and Saturn. Friday night, "Heart-warming" Venus & "Stabilizing" Saturn pair up with the "Nurturing" Cancer Moon adding emotional depth to relationships and a desire to get pampered by a loved one. Relationships take center stage. "Warrior" Mars and "Underworld" Pluto, both in the sign of "Serious" Capricorn join forces empowering you with tremendous amounts of energy, stamina, and an escalated interest in intimacy. A desire to build a fortress for the future may come to mind. However, the Mars-Pluto tag-team opposes the "Sensitive" Cancer Moon. Conflict over money, career and security issues may arise and your emotional stability may be put to the test. A propensity for violent outbursts is possible so avoid hostile situations. Enhancing the Moon's teasing aspect with Venus & Saturn, the "Intuitive" Cancer Moon dazzles "Outer-world" Neptune in "Dreamy" Pisces. Fantasy is favored. Enhanced ability in art, music, meditation and an active imagination empower you to manifest enlightening ideas. A Kundalini experience or a spiritual awakening is possible. It's a great time for candle-lite dinners, romantic walks, meditation, reiki, sea salt baths, and all things sensual and soothing to the body, mind and spirit. It's also a great time for movies, musical performances and theater. A word of caution: If you go out partying, be careful of overindulgence!

Venus Sprinkles Pixie Dust & Entices Mars!

Venus, the Love-Planet has been sprinkling pixie-dust throughout the Universe all week. Today, Venus entices Mars stimulating an infatuating interest in the sexes, magnifying romantic desires and encouraging the sexes to gravitate toward each other like a magnet to metal. Venus is in the sign of "intensified" Scorpio creating intense desires and forcing us to go "within" and take a deep look at ourselves and our relationships with others. Mars is in the "practical" sign of Capricorn helping us to focus on financial resources. Ironically, the "planetary" energy of Venus governs love, but it also rules money & financial resources; whereas the planetary energy of Mars gives us raw power, physical energy and encourages us to Act. 
  
Beginning on Monday November 26th thru Tuesday Nov 27, Venus co-partnered with "Stabilizing" Saturn, inspiring us to seek out a stable partner and to review issues of money, home-life & security. On Wednesday, November 28th, Venus joined Pluto encouraging people to make changes in their love- life and how to handle financial resources. Yesterday, the awakening brought upon us by the the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse cast light on the shadow areas of our lives that we may have been avoiding, and now we must confront if life is going to get any better. It's sort of like going into all the corners of the house & cleaning out the cobwebs! Today's Venus-Mars aspect continues to encourage male/female relationships and a desire for a stable lifestyle. It's another reminder that there is a big difference in having a partner in life verses living alone. In the end, choices will be made and many people may find themselves moving on from situations that no longer serve them. Whether it's love or money, a hard look at where you stand right now and facing your love-life and financial issues head-on will get you on the right path and make for a brighter tomorrow. The Moon remains in Gemini today helping us to analyze our problems and discuss our issues with the people who care about us. Remember, the past is gone, the future is yet to come, the most powerful time you have is Right Now in the "present" moment.

FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE in GEMINI; What does this mean for you?

A robust of powerful energy permeates the atmosphere as the Full Moon in "Mentally-Ambitious" Gemini Opposes the Sun in "Adventurous" Sagittarius in an Intricate & Dynamic Lunar Eclipse!  Both Gemini and Sagittarius are intellectual, spontaneous, future-minded & fast-moving energies. Whatever changes you've been drumming up lately may suddenly be pounding in your lap! The Lunar Eclipse in Gemini is stimulating your mind to analyze your life and communicate with others about your plans. The Moon's opposition to the "Sagittarius" Sun is igniting your passions to go after your most deeply-rooted desires and propelling you to "optimistically" move forward.  
 
 Freedom from restraints may be a bone of contention in some area of your life. You may find yourself making an about-face turn in your love-life, career or embarking on a new journey, a trip to a foreign land, or spiritual retreat. Moreover,  Lovely Venus in "Impassioned" Scorpio seduces Pluto in "Ambitious" Capricorn placing a strong emphasis on love-life and money-making ideas that hold water. Intensifying these aspects, the remnants of the Venus-Saturn aspects (last 2 days) and the Mars-Pluto interaction (yesterday) are still lingering energies, intensifying the impact of the eclipse and creating an  uncontrollable desire to build a future for yourself & work in a partnership/business with a romantic partner. An innate desire for stability is prevalent. Furthermore, the recent Uranus/Pluto aspects beginning last June triggered a lot of people on an internal level to recognize the need for change in their lives. Therefore, whatever has been festering inside of you over the last several months is likely to feel as if it just got re-ignited with fire-power and tons of ideas behind it.  Tonight, the Full Moon Eclipse tickles Jupiter showering us all with hope, optimism, and inspiration. Both Jupiter & the Moon are in Gemini 
allowing for a plethora of ideas to fill the recesses of your brain and stimulating your mind to "think" a lot about your life. Mentally, your mind may be going a mile a minute downloading ideas like songs off the internet. Passion and intensity in relationships, career, money matters, home-life and and yearning for overall stability can run rampant and overflows with enthusiasm. Your emotional state may have the chance to lighten-up a bit despite the intensity brought on by the Full Moon Eclipse. An eclipse occurs when the planes of the Earth, Moon and Sun come together at two nodal points. This lunar eclipse is invigorating your spirit to make choices that change the way you conduct your life and encouraging you to fulfill your soul purpose and find your soul mate.

Emotional Volcanic Eruptions - Mars Wars w/ Pluto! Work, Security Issues Paramount!

Capricorn, the Goat!
A pivotal turning point  in career or security issues may have you at a crossroads.  Warrior Mars joins Transformational Pluto for a rock-n-roll energy that can push and pull you in many directions, but a deep desire for change may be simmering to a boiling point. Arguments may lead to what seem like volcanic eruptions.  Mars & Pluto are invigorating energies that stimulate change and encourage you to take action, and both planets are in the sign of "Serious" Capricorn. An earth sign, Capricorn yearns for security, success and financial stability.  Happiness at work, a solid career with growth potential and a secure home & family lifestyle are what the "persevering" Goat strives to attain. Relationships become more intense especially with Venus in the sign of "impassioned" Scorpio. If any of these areas are out of sync, you are likely to feel frustrated, restless and ready to blow off some steam. Any person who is blocking you from your vision, career path, life mission or soul mate, may see a side of you like never before!  The day's attitude is "Diplomacy is for wimps, hit 'em with both barrels!" On a positive note, the Moon is in Stabilizing Taurus helping to tame people's emotions somewhat today. However, Taurus energy encourages people toward  a secure financial backing, a peaceful home-life & a tastefully decorated home, therefore amplifying the security issues created by the Mars-Pluto combo in Capricorn.  This evening, the Moon shifts into "Active" Gemini getting us mentally and physically stimulated to "do-something" about whatever it is that is bothering you, and you may feel as if you want to jump out of your skin. There's a good chance you'll be feeling as if you want change and you've got it have it Right Now! Whatever it is that has been needling you is likely to escalate now. Tonight, the Moon aspects Neptune clouding our vision and confusing out thoughts.  It's best to find a way to release all this mental and physical energy today. By days end, you will most likely be feeling like something has got to give. Make a plan and plot your course and try to avoid confrontation, if you can.

Mercury Turns Direct, Venus Sparkles Saturn

Venus in "Passionate" Scorpio entices Saturn (also in Scorpio) today and tomorrow. Love grows more intense under this influence. Emotions become deeply invested as passionate energy gets stronger. Relationships take on a more serious tone and become a major focal point.  Mercury, also in  the sign of "Intense" Scorpio turns direct today unveiling a lot of hidden truths.  The last few weeks, (while Mercury was in Retrograde) required you to spend some time soul searching and pinning down just who your real friends are. As the fog begins to lift, sudden realizations may come about regarding the people around you. Communication with others improve and it becomes easier to decipher the facts from fiction, and get in touch with connections who had been hovering in the wings. Misplaced expectations can make for delay, but once you've separated the wheat from the chaff, you'll have a better idea of who is really in the game.  Original thinking and new approaches will pay off if you put them in gear now as the Sun in "Optimistic" Sagittarius forms a harmonious aspect to Uranus in "Initiating" Aries. Inventiveness with staying power is available. Yesterday's weirdness becomes today's leading edge. Creative ideas developed now can be a construction site in pro-active mode for building a solid framework to stand on down the line. Relationships begun now have a stable footing.
