ASTROLOGY: Welcome Winter...
December 9, 2004

By Arlan Wise

This looks to be a hunker down at home type of winter. You’ll be happy with the comfort of hearth and home. You’ll feel a tug between the desire for safety and security and a wanderlust that keeps you thinking of exotic far-away places. If you pull yourself away from your routine, you can have some terrific foreign adventures, and return to settle down. It’s a winter to search out a new direction that will end any domestic instability. Set down some new roots.

Winter fun is found in group activities. Join a group to help encourage your artistic pursuits. Join a book group. Get involved in a community project. It looks like there will be benefits in traveling with a group.

Saturn is the only retrograde planet as the winter starts. He sits in the area of one-to-one relationships. This means that all relationships, personal and business, still have old issues to be resolved. This is an area that will need work and attention for the next three months. It may be hard to start a new relationship this winter as people are focused on the old ones. Security vs. freedom will be the major theme in the serious talks you’ll have about the relationship.

Thursday, Dec. 16 Moon VC Aquarius, enters Pisces 12:24 pm. Slow down and goof off. Do the basics and don’t try to get much of anything else done. Your mind will be active and going in many different directions. You can focus and write checks to charities. Do an act of service. Venus enters Sagittarius and the urge to play and party returns.

Friday, Dec. 17 Moon in Pisces. You can wait one more workday before you spend a lot of money or make a big decision. It’s hard to think straight today, dreams fill the air. If you do shop, buy fish, aquarium gear, water sports equipment, spiritual books and music. Make big donations to favorite charities. Donate toys to a local fund. Meditate for a long time.

Saturday, Dec. 18
Moon in Pisces, VC from 11:40 am until 4:52 pm when it enters Aries. You can see that this is a bad day to shop. Use the day to help others. Visit elderly friends. Make holiday gifts and decorations. Take a rest during the midday. Your energy will pick up in the evening.

Sunday, Dec. 19 Moon in Aries. Pick a project of your own design to work on today. You can get a lot done, even finished, with today’s energy. It’s a good day to wrap up projects and tasks, and gifts. Make a list of the things you want to do in the next month. You’ll feel a need for excitement and a bit of naughtiness tonight.

Monday, Dec. 20 Moon in Aries. Mercury turned and started moving in direct motion while you slept. Go online and do your shopping. Sign the contracts; take the new job. You need to work on your own; you won’t have the patience to wait for someone to follow your pace. Today is the last day of Autumn. Look back on the last three months to see if you’re moving in the right direction.

Tuesday, Dec. 21
Moon in Taurus. The sun enters Capricorn at 7:42 am and ushers in Winter 2004-05. This is a good shopping day; you’ll be able to find the bargains. Your eye is sharp for value and you can find the treasure in the tag sale. Shop for things that please the senses: art, music, aromatherapy oils, velvet clothing, and gourmet food.

Wednesday, Dec. 22
Moon in Taurus. Shop for the holiday food. Bake or buy cookies and cakes. Make food baskets to give as gifts. Donate to the food bank. Give out money gifts. Treat yourself to a meal at your favorite restaurant. Forget your diet and start the celebrations tonight. Have a sensuous evening.

Thursday, Dec. 23 Moon in Taurus, VC from 8:41 am until 11:32 am when it enters Gemini. Use the morning to clean and decorate. Once the moon enters Gemini, you’ll be able to clear up the communication mishaps that occurred over the past three weeks. Make those phone calls you’ve put off.

Friday, Dec. 24 Moon in Gemini. There’s lots of energy for the last-minute shoppers. Buy electronic items and communication related gifts such as ipods and phone equipment. It should be an easy travel day. People will feel like chatting with you while you wait in line.

Saturday, Dec. 25
Moon in Gemini, VC from 8:30 am until 11:38 pm. Merry Christmas! Mars enters Sagittarius to lighten the energy and make for lots of fun. The moon is void-of-course all day, making today a true a true holiday, a day outside of time. Be sure to call your loved ones who are far away.

Sunday, Dec. 26
Moon in Cancer. It’s a day to be home for the holidays. The full moon will bring out your feelings about home and family. Enjoy going through your family rituals. It’s a time of high sentimentality and nostalgia. Spend the day sheltered from the world. Cook and eat with your family of blood or family of the heart.

Monday, Dec. 27 Moon in Cancer. It will be hard to leave home to go to work. You need the comfortable connections. Saturn and Chiron stand in opposition to remind you of where you hurt. You need to make a plan as to how you will heal yourself of this wound. It’s a good day to work on expressing your dreams and trying to make them a reality in your life.

Tuesday, Dec. 28 Moon VC Cancer, enters Leo 12:14 pm. Use the morning VC time to clean. Wrap up the year’s work in preparation for 2005. Give your workplace a homey feeling to make it warm and cozy for the winter. Meet a friend for an early lunch. There’s pleasure in discussing international affairs, travel plans, and philosophy.

Wednesday, Dec. 29
Moon in Leo. It’s now party time. Begin to celebrate the year’s end. Give gifts to those who you missed last week. Take time to play with the children’s new toys. Work on that writing project. Write a love letter. Think of ways to bring more fun into your life.

Thursday, Dec. 30
Moon in Leo, VC 9:54 pm. This is a better night for a party than tomorrow will be. There’s a lot of high spirits and good feelings around. There’s a need for caution as Mars is challenging Uranus, which raises everyone’s tension level. Watch your temper, don’t lose it. Stay alert and drive defensively for the next few days.
