This is the week that astrologers have been vigorously discussing for well over a year. On Friday a lunar eclipse in Cancer takes place, and on Sunday Saturn conjoins Pluto. Add Uranus going direct under Friday’s full moon to this major cosmic mix, and the assertions that this is an impactful week are right on target. The Saturn Pluto conjunction happens only once every 34 years, so is viewed as a trend setting alignment. Both planets, along with the South Node, Sun, Mercury and Jupiter, are in industrious Capricorn, the sign of institutions, governments and big business.

Forecast Dec 30, 2019 – Jan 5, 2020: The Calm Before The Storm
If the classic Frank Sinatra tune “Nice And Easy” is your jam or its title expresses your philosophy, you’re in luck this week. If your approach to life is more adventurous, you’re also in luck this week.
Forecast Dec 23-20, 2019: Responsible Power
This week’s activity centers around the new moon and eclipse of late December 25h (or early on the 26th depending on your time zone). The Sun, Moon, South Node, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all in the industrious earth sign of Capricorn, and Mercury is on its way to join them on Saturday. On the macro level, Capricorn deals with business, institutions and systems, and more personally, it pertains to reputation, career and accomplishments. Saturn rules this ambitious and austere sign, and the metaphor of mountain climbing is also often used to describe its traits. Capricorn directs our attention to long-term goals and the practicalities of their attainment.
Forecast Dec 16-Dec 22, 2019: Heart Flush
This week Mars in Scorpio will sextile Saturn on Thursday and powerful Pluto on Sunday, giving us some insight into the upcoming Sun cycle and all of its Capricorn components. The Sun’s journey through Sagittarius closes out the autumn season in the Northern hemisphere, and like all mutable signs, it tells us that we’ve reached a completion point. But before we dive into the instigating energies of the coming cardinal cycle, we need to assess what to release and define what is important enough to bring with us when we move ahead.
Forecast Dec 9-15, 2019: The Great Awakening Has Arrived
Venus, Saturn and purifying Pluto are closely linked now through January, 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.
Forecast Dec 2-8, 2019: Time To Shine Bigly
a new template is now downloading. Big potentials abound, and Capricorn’s sense of responsibility, unquestionable work ethic and sheer determination will be required to realize them.
Forecast Nov 25 – Dec 1, 2019: Inspiration Beaming
With optimism beaming from Sagittarius, hunches bubbling up from always over the target Scorpio and musing Neptune and the urge to get real “stuff” done coming from productive earth signs Capricorn and Taurus, this is shaping up to be the pick me up we’ve been waiting on for months.
Forecast Nov 18-24, 2019: Next Moves
If the current Mercury retrograde has brought its share of delays, technical snafus and frustrations, take heart. This week everything changes. While Mercury usually gets, and deserves, all the blame for mishaps and all manner of tech misfires and meltdowns, this time Mars has also been contributing to the cosmic inertia. Since early October, the red planet of passion has been stuck in eternally deliberating Libra
Forecast Nov 11-17, 2019: Embracing The Beauty Of Contemplation
During this decidedly introspective week, a good strategy is to meditate on problems needing solutions on 11.11, Monday, to allow Tuesday’s full moon to work its illumination magic and to be receptive to those uncanny and unfolding Scorpio/Capricorn/Neptunian insights.
Forecast Nov 4-10, 2019: It’s Getting Real
In its highest form, Scorpio is here to heal. Because daylight is the best disinfectant, the Sun and Mercury may very well be exposing what we’d prefer to ignore, those insidious shadows. Whether we choose consciousness or not is up to us. But whatever that choice, we’re still operating under their influence.
