Headline: Second member of McFly wins a reality TV series in the same month<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Harry Judd, winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2011, is a Capricorn, with Sun conjunct Neptune (facility for dance) in Capricorn sextile Mars\/Pluto in Scorpio, a bundle of energy.\u00a0 He has 4 planets in Sagittarius, so has a taste for adventure, and Pluto at the South Node (which with Mars conjunct Pluto points to a darker side!\u00a0 His tango is definitely smouldering\u2026).\u00a0 Pluto is currently sextile his Pluto, so he has come into his power.\u00a0 The other member of McFly to win a trophy recently, Dougie Poynter who was crowned King of the Jungle in I\u2019m a Celebrity (on 3rd<\/sup> December), is two years younger than Harry, but shares some similarities in his chart.\u00a0 His Venus conjunct Neptune (musical inspiration) is conjunct Harry\u2019s Sun\/Neptune, and he too has Mars conjunct Pluto, but loosely, in the same area as Harry\u2019s, so they magnify each other\u2019s talents.\u00a0 At the time of his win, Saturn was sextile his Uranus and Pluto was transiting his Neptune (the episode in the Jungle would have been a psychological journey for him).\u00a0 Harry\u2019s North Node trines exactly Dougie\u2019s Neptune; Harry\u2019s Neptune conjuncts exactly Dougie\u2019s Venus. The other two band members were the founder members of the group and have been \u00a0enthusiastic supporters (first on the dance floor to congratulate Harry last night, being shooed off by Bruce Forsyth!).\u00a0 Danny Jones is a Piscean with Mars conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius (urge for excitement).\u00a0 The group came to fame in 2004, when Uranus was trine Danny\u2019s Pluto.\u00a0 Tom Fletcher is Cancerian with Sun conjunct Mars (again, high-energy), Venus conjunct Chiron (healing through music).<\/p>\n

Without further ado, let\u2019s look at the coming week\u2019s aspects.\u00a0 I am sure you have plenty of things to do, people to see and presents to buy, and on top of that we have several aspects to negotiate.\u00a0 Today, Venus squares Saturn, which would be a good day to visit that elderly neighbor or relative and take round a hot toddy or whatever they might fancy.\u00a0 Tomorrow the Sun sextiles Saturn, so it is good for serious intentions, such as finishing your Christmas shopping.\u00a0 Head down, you can do it!\u00a0 On Tuesday (20th<\/sup>), Venus enters Aquarius and you may be able to focus on the partying and socializing if you completed your Christmas shopping.\u00a0 Fresh ventures are favoured, such as the annual defrosting of the fridge\/freezer prior to packing it with Christmas party bites from Iceland.\u00a0 Funnily enough, I can see myself doing that even though I will be spending Christmas day elsewhere – old habits die hard.\u00a0 Next, the Sun sextiles Neptune, putting you in touch with the spiritual meaning of Christmas\u2026You pass a lone carol singer, selling the Big Issue, accompanied by a dog and a blanket, and stuff a fiver in their hand with a tear in your eye.\u00a0 Wednesday (21st<\/sup>) brings a square between Venus and Jupiter \u2013 you are summoned to a Christmas do, but know you should be completing your Christmas shopping\/icing your Christmas cake\/looking for a Turkey.\u00a0 So you feel a bit split, as though you should be in two or more places at once.\u00a0 But Venus also sextiles Uranus, so you get into the spirit of it, and realize you can do this multi-tasking thing that the week before Christmas requires of you, e.g. you order the Turkey online on your I phone, while talking to the local vicar.\u00a0 The 21st<\/sup> Century has its good points.\u00a0 The Winter Solstice (the Sun\u2019s entry into Capricorn) dawns on Thursday 22nd<\/sup>, and you can also do the multi-faith thing, and honour the earth as your ancient ancestors did.\u00a0 Superwoman is not just a throwback to the 1980s, and neither is Superman. \u00a0Catch the sunrise, take some stunning photographs of the landscape, and say a prayer for the Polar Bear.\u00a0 Stock up on more party food, just in case.\u00a0 The Sun then trines Jupiter: that prayer you said for the world at the solstice comes back to you and fills your heart with the religiosity of this annual event, you feel magnanimous and any Scroogelike corners of your heart melt like the ending of A Christmas Carol.\u00a0 You rush back to the lone carol singer and stuff the turkey in his or her hand and decide you will make a vegetarian chestnut roll instead and use some of the ready-rolled puff pastry logjamming your freezer.\u00a0 The Sun then squares Uranus \u2013 uh oh!\u00a0 A few plans may come unstuck\u2026You realize the party nibbles are past their sell-by-date by hours, and as you are a stickler for sell-by-dates you may have to bend your own rules, just for once. [Aside: why is it that Christmas food is often labeled for before Christmas?].\u00a0 Friday (23rd<\/sup>) is a healing day, mark your calendar, because the Sun sextiles Chiron.\u00a0 You might think you are behind on your Christmas checklist, but you suddenly realize you have caught up and can put your feet up for a few moments, with a glass of pear cider.\u00a0 You are doing better than you thought.\u00a0 It is all coming together\u2026Aah\u2026!\u00a0 \u2026zzz\u2026.Ding Dong!\u00a0 No it\u2019s not merrily on high, it\u2019s that silly doorbell chime you had installed which drives you nuts, but never mind, it\u2019s the cheery newspaper boy reminding you of his year long service, and that you mentally put by a fiver for his Christmas box.\u00a0 Can you find it?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Can he wait till next year?\u00a0 No\u2026will the loose change from your purse do?\u00a0 O.K.\u00a0 Back to the pouffee and the glass of mock champers\u2026Aah\u2026!…zzz\u2026yes it\u2019s a moment of pure relaxation, enjoy, all is prepared and there\u2019s a New Moon on the horizon.\u00a0 Saturday (24th<\/sup>) Christmas Eve brings a New Moon in Capricorn, which is a lovely way to start Christmas, with good intentions, decks cleared, and hopes and wishes in their pristine state. \u00a0\u00a0As I don\u2019t think many will be reading this blog on Christmas morning, I will send you my Christmas wishes now: \u00a0joy and peace to you, and glory to all religions and atheists (hmm, wonder how Christopher Hitchens is finding his new surroundings or dimensions\u2026).<\/p>\n
