December 17th – transiting lunar nodal axis shifts from Pisces/Virgo to Aquarius/Leo, where it stays until August 21, 2009. The transiting North Node represents our spiritual frontier; the South Node, what needs to be released and renovated. Leo is the sign of Individuation; Aquarius is the sign of the Group Mind. We are called to leave behind our egotistic will and add our Individuated purpose to the community. The last time the nodes where here was from May 22, 1989 to November 18, 1990. What were you doing then?
December 18th – Sun and Mercury on the Galactic Center.
Jupiter enters Capricorn, where it remains until January 5, 2009. Jupiter in Capricorn often coincides with changes in ethics and government. (Reagan and Moral Majority/1984; Watergate/1972). Check out which house contains Capricorn in your chart – this is the area that will experience expansion and opportunity this year.
December 19th – Saturn turns retrograde.
Saturn turns retrograde at 8º34’ Virgo. If you have a planet there or in any mutable sign – especially those of you with Pluto in Virgo – watch out for a complete restructuring over the coming 5 months. Saturn turns direct on May 3, 2008 at 1º Virgo.
December 20th – Sun conjoins Pluto.
The Sun will pick up on Pluto’s energy – kicking us into our power.
December 21st – 22nd – Happy Winter Solstice! The sun enters Capricorn and meets up with Mercury and Jupiter. It will be a great day.
