Aspects for the week beginning 15 December 2024

Blogs

Just the aspects this week, as I have a new computer, and have lost my Astrology programme.  Please bear with me while I am in the process of ordering a new Astro-programme and finding out how to use it.  Wish me luck!  In the meantime, I will continue to provide the Aspect service.

Congratulations to Chris Causland for winning the final of Strictly Come Dancing.  I predicted, on the astrology, that he and Sarah and Tasha would be in the final.  I hadn’t realized there would be four.

I wrote on 15^th September:

“At the final, Chris will have a Jupiter Return (he will be enjoying the final!), and Jupiter will oppose his natal Neptune (he will be in a state of flux philosophically).  Dianne will have a Mercury Return (plenty to think about), Mars will be sextile her Mercury (she’ll be busy), Saturn will be sextile her Saturn (life will be steady), Saturn will be trine her natal Pluto (a big shift in her life skills), and Neptune will still be sextile her Venus…”

I wrote on 17^th November:

“I pick Chris McCausland as the third finalist, with Sarah Hadland and Tasha Ghouri.  Final answer!”

Aspects

Sunday 15^th

Breakfast-time brings a Full Moon at 23 degrees Gemini.  You may feel or see acutely the two sides of a story, e.g. some of the polarities occurring in the news and worldwide. With the Sun in opposition in Sagittarius, it is important to note that the principle of the polarity of Gemini/Sagittarius is Communication, whether in its more surface nature (Gemini) or on a deeper level (Sagittarius).  For example, with the Moon being in Gemini, you may feel you cannot handle a deep emotional approach at this moment of time.

In the evening, Mercury is Stationary prior to turning Direct, which may come as a relief to some.  There is some alleviation of recent communication glitches.  There may also be a turning point in your travel plans. Hopefully, if you have projects waiting to happen of a literary or technical nature, this may also be a go-ahead for you.  If you have been holding back on communication, you may feel the push to move forward again with it.  During this recent Retrograde period, I have been upgrading my I.T. equipment, and hope that it proves a valuable step forward in the long run.

Wednesday 18^th

The Sun squares Neptune on this day.   This aspect may bring some impractical elements to create a wobble on the day.  You may hit a snag in the implementation of your plans, or see through the illusion of a project.  Once you are through that looking glass, you may see how you can remedy things.  It may require some refining of details or technique, for instance. It is worth noting that the Sun is aligned with the Galactic Centre on that day, which increases the power of whatever is occurring.

Friday 20^th

In the early hours of Friday Venus will be trine Jupiter,  which is one of the brightest trines of the year (if not, the brightest).  Something may provide you with a richness of heart.  Venus with Jupiter is so very social, and can be romantic too.  It’s an aspect to savour and enjoy.  Proposals and engagements often occur under this combination.

Saturday 21^st

At breakfast-time the Sun enters Capricorn, which is the Winter Solstice.  For many this will be a relief (that’s two relievers in one week!), and a sense of a new dawn, especially for those who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.).  The Sun’s entry into Capricorn is a return to practicality, after the aspirational month of Sagittarius.  It is a time to look at the general structure and order of things, and your relationship with authority and the institutions which govern our society.  It may feel different this year, with Pluto having left Capricorn for good and a New Age being constructed under Pluto in Aquarius.  The Syrians certainly have thrown off their oppressive authority, and have a chance to start rebuilding a new country, and hopefully learning the lessons of other countries which descended into chaos, such as Iraq.

The week in bullet points:

• Today – emotional high tide; alleviated communications
• Wednesday – see through the illusion
• Friday – heartwarming socializing
• Saturday – reflective return of the light
