Forecast Dec 9-15, 2019: The Great Awakening Has Arrived

The action is non-stop this week, and it all culminates in one of the year’s biggest astrological events, Jupiter’s trine to Uranus. During October and November Mercury traversed its retrograde and shadow zones in emotionally intense and brutally honest Scorpio. During that period, we were given the opportunity to step back, do some earnest soul searching and determine what is important to us as the next year comes into focus. Mercury explored the darkest emotional backwaters of the Pluto-ruled sign. With its new trove of unearthed secrets, it stationed direct on November 20th, signaling that it was time to stop digging and to start implementing needed changes. Since then, the cosmic momentum has only quickened. If the past two weeks were an airplane taxing down the runway, this week we have takeoff.

The week in fact begins with Mercury leaving the fixed waters of Scorpio for Sagittarius, an active, outgoing fire sign, on Monday. By Wednesday Venus will conjoin Saturn, and the full moon in air sign Gemini will build to its late night zenith at a considerable 19:52 degrees. On Friday Mars will trine Neptune and Venus will make its second major connection of the week, this time to reforming Pluto. It is said that when a personal planet, such as Venus or Mars, connects with an outer planet, like Neptune or Pluto, a new cycle gets underway. While all of that is going on, Jupiter’s connection to Uranus strengthens in the background, leading to Sunday’s exact trine.

Though they come to it in different styles. Jupiter and Capricorn both champion integrity. Jupiter is newly arrived into Capricorn (Dec 2nd), and is thus at a tamer early degree. Still, its influence cannot be underestimated. Capricorn is already dominating cosmic activity with Venus, Saturn, Pluto and the South Node transiting the austere earth sign, and Jupiter enlarges everything it comes into contact with. Saturn and purifying Pluto are closely linked now, and their formidable force is intent on clearing out corruption. Jupiter’s trine to Uranus is our first taste of what the expansive planet’s year-long transit of Capricorn is going to activate. Simply put, Uranus shifts paradigms. Its disruptive, innovative force is in Taurus, the fixed earth sign concerned with finances, assets and material resources. Jupiter is in the sign of business, government and institutions. The angle Jupiter and Uranus form on Sunday is a positive one, the supportive trine, and both players are in the productive earth signs, making things very real. Together Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are installing a systemic upgrade, and this week we will finally get our first glimpse of its magnificence.
