It Is Getting Funky Out There Again



I have been slack for a few months, it seemed like every astrologer on the Internet was writing about everything going on so I let them write the story.  But nobody seems to be taking a look at the overview of the next couple of months, so I guess its time I jumped back in here.

It is time to take another look at the planets out there, because they are getting a little funky again.
 Just now, they are not bad.  Jupiter and Venus are going direct today with Venus trining Neptune, which just went direct a few days ago. 

We are still feeling the effects of Neptune’s new direct motion, dreamy, unmoored.  And as it went direct there was Chiron waiting for another conjunction.    Those two have been dancing together for quite awhile.  They do tend to keep a lot of information under our level of consciousness.  In that place where we can feel them, but don’t quite know what it is about yet.

And Venus is trining them today so watch out for your instincts in relationships.  It may be too dreamy.  With the Sun squaring the pair today you can’t even count on your energy to set you straight.  Wait a few days until this clears up.

But what I am really looking at is the events toward the end of the month through the New Year.  Lots of things hitting as Pluto and the Uranus/Jupiter dance heats up.

Honestly, Neptune is the least of our concerns.  But it does keep popping in and out of the picture.

Venus is stationary direct now still trining Neptune/Chiron, its direct motion is in Libra. Oh dear, Libra is so about relationships.  And the lovely trine to Neptune is going to feel so good …but it is not a good time for commitments. 

A better time is coming in December 2nd when Venus sextiles Pluto and the North Node, with the Moon passing by.  It could bring on some real serious relating for people with planets in early Scorpio or really at one degree, pretty much in any sign, water signs particularly.


November 24th ‘til December 2nd, the period begins with Mercury and Mars applying a square to Jupiter/Uranus.  For several days one or the other of them is exact.  Mars square is exact to Uranus on the 3rd of December, the day Mercury conjunct Pluto. 

That is a lot of activity; you can find things happening really quickly.  Mars/Uranus squares can be out of control so if you have planets at the very end of Mutable signs, Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius, be careful.  No quick moves, quick decisions with Mercury conjunct Pluto can change everything in your life, when you meant to do something much gentler.

The last few degrees of any sign WILL be affected one way or another, so care is advised all around. 

Of course, Mercury and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn, at 4 degrees, so the first degrees of Cardinals (and to a lesser extent, everyone else) will be affected.

Uranus goes direct on the sixth, which should give us all a bit of a kick toward change. 

DON’T PANIC

Change is only difficult if you really like everything about your life just the way it is.  Even then change can be for the better.  Often, in times like this change is what is needed and what you have been expecting for awhile, but things slowed down when these two planets (Jupiter and Uranus) went retrograde.

Mercury goes retrograde on December 10th, WAY too close to Pluto.

On December 12th things get real intense again.  Mercury/Mars/Pluto and the North Node begin a conjunction that will go on for a week; the most intense time is December 13th.  That is at 4 Capricorn.  So look at your planets between 2 degrees to 6 degrees to see if it will be personally intense, and again, especially the ones in Cardinal signs:  Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

The Sun squares Uranus/Jupiter on the 19th and that just begins another ride.

On the 21st Mercury returns at retrograde to square Uranus and Jupiter the two of which are getting closer and closer now, and remember, the Sun is still on the square adding POWER.  Be very careful with communication of all kinds now.  Mercury is about communication and quick thinking, Uranus is about explosive Change and Jupiter makes things bigger.  You can see where this can get out of hand. 26 degrees in Mutable is the most intense degree but 26 in anything will be involved and give this one 5 degrees in either direction.

On the 26th, things get intense again, December is QUITE a month.  The Sun Conjuncts Pluto, Mars is moving toward a square with Saturn which is exact on the 28th when the Moon joins in conjuncting Saturn for a little emotional push.

Mercury goes direct on Dec 30.

On January 4th Venus again is in an interesting situation.  Squaring Neptune, she feels all dreamy and trining Jupiter and Uranus she makes changes in unexpected places.  Venus looks to be pretty fickle, but strongly so for the rest of the year and into next. 

This is particularly strong at 26 degrees in water and right around the chart, especially in the mutable signs.

In general what we are dealing with at the moment is the difficult positions of the outer planets.  They are in the sky in places where the continually aspect each other and when another planet, either personal or social gets into the mixture, it can have quite a serious effect on us, both societally and personally. 

Every year the Sun Enters Capricorn on around December 21st, but the past few years, Pluto has been waiting right there.  The personal planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) are often near the Sun.  That is what begins to make this year particularly intense.

But also this year we have Uranus and Jupiter traveling together at the end of Pisces, right in the area where the planets in December will aspect it, before meeting Pluto in Capricorn.  And Neptune is at the same degree in Aquarius and comes in aspect to a lot of the personal Planets too…especially Venus this year.

So you can bet on it, it is going to be interesting.

I'll be writing about some of these transits as they get closer, but tonight, I thought I'd just write an overview.  For a rundown on the energy of the Planets mentioned above look at http://terrawolfe.com/astrology/index.htm
