ASTROLOGY: Welcome Winter... December 23, 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. 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.
