Saturday evenings lately have been a marathon roller-coaster of television viewing: Strictly Come Dancing, through X-Factor, through I\u2019m a Celebrity (get me out of here).\u00a0 I am even completely indoctrinated by the adverts, to the extent that I truly believe that you need to go to Iceland for your party food: Stacey Solomon\u2019s ecstatic bopping has won me over.\u00a0 This is the shadow side of my lifestyle.\u00a0 The light side, during the week, is travelling up and down the country constantly on the train between Norfolk (home), Leicester (grandson), Cambridge (post-retirement day job), Salisbury (family) and London (leisure), while trying to fit in astrological work, meditation and Christmas shopping.\u00a0 My astrological musings yesterday were about the X-Factor panel\/judges\/mentors.\u00a0 Louis Walsh, still standing from the original institution, is a Leo but has North Node (karmic mission) in Aquarius, the sign of boy bands.\u00a0 Since he lost his last remaining act, it has been good to see him champion other acts, including the last girl band standing, \u201cLittle Mix\u201d.\u00a0 He may have been traumatized in his past lives (e.g. in the Irish potato famine) with Pluto on his South Node.\u00a0 But show business is in his blood, with 4 planets in Leo.\u00a0 He loves a power struggle though, with Jupiter square his Pluto and Nodal Axis.\u00a0 Next in order of seating, is Tulisa Contostavlos, whose musical genre is hip hop.\u00a0 She has not had an easy life, with her mother suffering bi-polar disorder.\u00a0 She has a lot of stress and conflict in her chart, which has forged her strong personality, resulting in an edgy persona, willing to fight for her little muffins (\u201cLittle Mix\u201d) in her maternal 4-planets in Cancer type of way.\u00a0 Mentally, she is used to stress (Mercury conjunct Chiron, square Mars). \u00a0\u00a0Kelly Rowland, who sits next to Tulisa, is an Aquarian, but her warmth comes from a strong Piscean empathy: Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces, and Sun sextile Neptune.\u00a0 She has a psychologically strong Sun trine Pluto, but may have some indecisiveness with a conjunction of Jupiter\/Saturn \u2013 witness her letting Amelia Lily go in the first round (not without tears) then welcoming her back with open arms as a possible potential winner a few weeks later.\u00a0 However, this indecisiveness is a two-sided coin, the other side of which is measured judgement, assisted by a sextile of Jupiter\/Saturn with the North Node.\u00a0 Karma is often on her side, and she has 3 acts left in the contest.\u00a0 I remember thinking in the boot camp phase that the girls were a really strong category this year, and she was fortunate to land this category.\u00a0 Gary Barlow, the replacement for Simon Cowell, has come in for a lot of criticism in this competition, but I like him in the role.\u00a0 His original and prolific song talent is shown in his chart by Venus in Sagittarius (prolific) sextile Uranus in Libra (original songwriting).\u00a0 That same aspect is responsible for his successful involvement in the legendary boy band \u201cTake That\u201d.\u00a0 The only contestant I have a chart for is Scorpio Janet Devlin (with the characteristic red mane).\u00a0 She has been ill this weekend, and recently had poor song choices, but with 5 planets in Scorpio plus the North Node and Sun exactly square Mars, as one of the judges put it yesterday she is<\/em> a fighter, and will have courage and strength even if she goes out in tonight\u2019s results show.\u00a0 Today\u2019s Venus square Uranus could produce strange results and quirky art forms and unusual meetings.\u00a0 Venus also sextiles Chiron, so there is an underlying healing thread in physical terms, and in art and music, even though Uranus is causing disruptions (the disruptions have a reason).\u00a0 Later tonight Venus trines Jupiter, so party like a celeb.\u00a0 Put those nibbles out as you watch the telly.\u00a0 Actually, to be serious, you may have reason to celebrate \u2013 don\u2019t miss the opportunity by being a couch potato.\u00a0\u00a0 On Thursday (1st<\/sup> December) Venus conjuncts Pluto and it\u2019s time to get serious about your relationship(s).\u00a0 Focus, perhaps, on its higher purpose.\u00a0 Or on any lingering psychological issues which are blocking its potential and commitment.\u00a0 There may be endings to outworn ways of relating which are not working, but hopefully your relationship(s) can emerge more strongly.\u00a0 The Sun squares Mars on Friday (2nd<\/sup>) so you will be feeling the heat, in some way.\u00a0 You may be hot-headed, or incident-prone, for instance.\u00a0 Watch other motorists on the road: men and cars could clash, and dogs could also be hot-headed.\u00a0 The last aspect to work with this week is Friday\u2019s conjunction between Mercury and the North Node.\u00a0 This involves Mercury Retrograde so the karmic reward flavour of the aspect which potentially could bring brisk business, sales, and significant communication and information, could be skewed by the retrograde aspect.\u00a0 Keep on your toes if making a deal, keep ahead of the game, and keep your integrity.\u00a0 You could even outwit the notorious Mercury Retrograde, that way!<\/p>\n
