Mercury squares Uranus today and it\u2019s a day for battling out mental ideas.\u00a0 As many of the aspect dates this week are out of kilter with those in the U.S., I will try to provide both dates in today\u2019s blog.\u00a0 Accordingly, this aspect took place yesterday in the U.S.\u00a0 Paul Harris in The Observer today reports about the religion debate between Tony Blair and Christopher Hitchens in Toronto.\u00a0 It was remarkable for Hitchens\u2019 (atheist) clarity of thought: \u201cBlair outlined the work that religious groups in Northern Ireland put in on bridging the \u2018religious divide\u2019 in order to work for peace. Hitchens did not allow that one to slip by… Then he delivered the punchline. \u2018Where does the \u201dreligious divide\u201d come from?\u2019 he asked to another round of laughter from the crowd.\u201d They apparently both agree that the Iraq war was justified\u2026Just something to think about while you are snowbound in the U.K.\u00a0 I have been wrestling with the question of which zodiac sign is represented by the animal totem Turkey.\u00a0 According to the \u201cMedicine Cards\u201d of Sams and Carson, Turkey represents the principle of \u201cGive Away\u201d: \u201cPeople in modern-day society should study the noble turkey who sacrifices itself so that we may live.\u201d\u00a0 In Norfolk, one of our few celebrities is Bernard Matthews the Turkey farmer, who died ironically on Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Looking at his chart, I feel that his Turkey mission is represented by his North Node conjunct Chiron in Taurus.\u00a0 Bernard Matthews contribution was to produce cheap poultry (Chiron conjunct North Node in Taurus being an economic solution).\u00a0 His catchword about his turkeys is a curious one, \u201cBoo-i-ful\u201d.\u00a0 It may represent his Sun\/Venus conjunction in Aquarius, but strangely enough when I heard a clip from an interview on the radio, he was speaking in an impeccable BBC accent, and not the native Norfolk tongue which gave rise to \u201cBoo-i-ful\u201d.\u00a0 Like Gillian McKeith, still surviving down under in the Jungle on \u201cI\u2019m a Celebrity\u201d I am a committed vegetarian, and so have never partaken of the fruits of Bernard Matthews\u2019 life purpose.\u00a0 I am alone, I think, in feeling sorry for Gillian and thinking the public sadistic for voting her to do all those bush tucker trials.\u00a0 I think it is a backlash for her trying authoritatively (she has Moon\/Venus conjunct Pluto in Virgo) to make us eat healthily.\u00a0 She has a very strict chart, and can become scapegoated with Saturn in Capricorn square her Nodal Axis.\u00a0 Tomorrow (Monday 29th<\/sup>) Mars is square Jupiter, so there is still a lot of aggro going on, but more good humoured slapstick than the serious intellectual divisions of today.\u00a0 You may be caught between two passions or enthusiasms.\u00a0 On Tuesday (30th<\/sup>) [29th<\/sup> in the U.S. and Toronto] Venus enters Scorpio, so the heart will decide between the passions and enthusiasms.\u00a0 On Wednesday (1st <\/sup>December) [31st<\/sup> in the U.S. and Toronto] Mercury also changes signs, from Sagittarius to Capricorn, sobering up our mental outlook and making us decisive and realistic about our plans.\u00a0 This paves the way later in the day for Mercury to catch Venus in a sextile, making it an excellent time for a tete-a-tete over coffee or dinner, and for literary events such as book launches.\u00a0 Co-authors should make it a diary date.\u00a0 On Thursday (2nd<\/sup>) Mars sextiles Neptune and folks will be much more sensitive towards each other than at the start of the week.\u00a0 They may consider that in order to co-author their books, they will need to compromise in order to take into account the other\u2019s needs.\u00a0 Book titles could be subtly changed, e.g. from \u201cHow religion informed war decisions\u201d to \u201cHow we agreed about the war\u201d, or \u201cHow I felt it was important to promote meat-eating\u201d to \u201cHow it is important for people to choose whether or not to eat meat\u201d.\u00a0 On Friday (3rd<\/sup>) Mars sextiles in turn Chiron in the Neptune\/Chiron conjunction, and healing may be experienced on an energetic level.\u00a0 Whereas Thursday\u2019s sextile favours an emphasis on spiritual energy, the Friday energy will be more directly focussed on healing and problem-solving.\u00a0 However, there could be crisis involved, because Mars squares Uranus later on Friday and that is a very incident-prone type of energy.\u00a0 You may have everything as you like it, but someone may come along and want to do it differently.\u00a0 The week ends with a conjunction of Mercury and the North Node on Saturday (4th<\/sup>) [3rd<\/sup> in U.S. and Toronto].\u00a0 Life may point out to you a detail you may have missed or chosen to ignore, and a factor which could make all the difference.\u00a0 It may set you wondering on all those intellectual dilemmas all over again\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
