DECEMBER 2002 by Bob Mulligan

We are offered an opportunity to take a giant step forward this month as the forces of the future (Uranus) are equally posed with the historical forces of conformity (Saturn). Also, Jupiter (King of the Gods) is in an encouraging trine to Pluto (Lord of death and regeneration). It is possible to take very progressive maneuvers to improve our position in every arena of life. This holiday season, in addition to the normal personal concerns of the time, people have a strong focus on world events. Everyone tends to pay more attention to the world economy, to the political climate as we now see more direct connection with the world situation and our everyday lives. With both Mars (Masculine planet) and Venus (Feminine planet) in Scorpio all month, relationships will tend to be passionate and intense.

1st - Sunday - Mars enters Scorpio, Venus conjuncts Venus, and Venus semi-squares Pluto. Powerful feelings need to be controlled.

2nd - Monday - Sun contra-parallel Saturn. A serious mood creates a longing for life to be different.

3rd - Tuesday - Venus parallels Mars. Powerful feelings for the opposite sex can arouse our amorous feelings today. We do ourselves a big favor if we can see that we have the power to change ourselves without the need of the alchemical interaction with others.

4th Wednesday - The New Moon at 11 Sagittarius at 2:35am EST is an eclipse. Jupiter turns Retrograde. Mercury semi-square Neptune, then Mars semi-square Pluto, Strength is needed today but unrealistic thinking needs to be turned into inspiration. Eclipses are always very powerful times to meditate. We need to look beyond our own lives at this moment to experience happiness.

5th - Mercury sextiles Uranus. Now is a great time to put energy into a new plan of action.

6th - Friday - Mercury opposes Saturn. Corrective guidelines from the world can help us achieve our real long range goals.

8th - Sunday - Mercury enters Capricorn. Mercury (Messenger of the Gods) and Saturn (lord of Karma) are in each other's signs now. Big plans have a chance to succeed if practical applications are carefully thought out. You can re-evaluated plan hatched a week ago. Today you will have a more critical eye towards the details.

9th - Monday - Sun conjuncts Pluto. We are on the road to profound deep change. Be ready to take bold new steps.

10th - Tuesday - Sun trines Jupiter. Now we can expand our circle of influence with great joy. Everyone can be taken care of with a little forethought.

13th - Friday - Uranus Parallels Pluto. We can be shocked into a new way of looking at the world today.

14th - Saturday - Mercury sextile Mars and Venus square Neptune. Practical applications are favored right now and our emotional life may be due for another shake-up.

15th - Sunday - Mars parallel Uranus, Mercury sextile Venus, Mars parallel Pluto, Mars square Neptune, Mercury semi-square Uranus. It's a tough day to navigate. Best to wait and see what others bring to you. Actions can be wrong-headed and confused.

16th - Sun semi-squares Neptune, Venus in hard aspect to Saturn. Also, Saturn trines Uranus and Sun semi-squares Mars. The balance between new and old ideas and methods is now secure. However, our personal difficulties require us to make some difficult adjustments to our immediate situations.

17th - Sun Opposes Saturn, then sextile Uranus. Mars makes a Sesquiquadrate to Saturn. Hard work and positive attitudes are required to make progress today. Traditional rules and customs give context to our new innovations.

18th - Wednesday - Jupiter trines Pluto. It's a wonderful time to start enterprises we wish to be successful and long lasting.

19th - Full Moon at 27 degrees Gemini at 2:10pm EST. This is a moment to rest and think positively on the things that have been achieved.

20th - Mercury quincunx Jupiter then semi-sextile Pluto. The universe favors bold steps now, but how to take them in our personal lives. We need to be satisfied with incremental progress.

21st - Saturday - Sun semi-square Venus. Sun enters Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Something we are attached to must be sacrificed in order to obtain something else of higher importance.

23rd - Monday - Venus parallels Uranus, Sun Parallels Mercury. This is a time for the emotions to get a real workout. We all tend to drive hard to get some response from those we care about.

24th Sun Sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Venus parallels Pluto, Venus square Jupiter. We wrestle with the limitations of our feelings.

25th Venus semi-sextiles Pluto. Today, on Christmas we reach some culmination for our emotions. Be willing to experiment with some overture toward the wild side. Much can be learned today even if we aren't able to totally satisfy our emotional life.

26th - Thursday - Mercury quincunxes Saturn. We are facing some difficult decisions now. Be willing to see things in a new way. Merely hard work doesn't bring such great rewards.

27th - Friday - Mercury contra-parallel Saturn. Carefully timed conversations can yield important and long lasting decisions. Knowing how much to say, when to speak, and when to keep quiet can aid you today.

28th Saturday - Mars square Jupiter. Mercury semi-sextiles Uranus, Mars contra-parallels Jupiter. We all have an irrepressible desire to drive forward today. Still, we accomplish most if we are patient with the implementation of new ideas.

29th - Sunday - Mars semi-sextile Pluto. A lingering feeling that we know the answers can stop us from getting what we need.

30th - Monday - Saturn Sesquiquadrate Neptune. Progress is made by getting the appropriate blend of faith in the future and realistic expectations for ourselves.

31st - Tuesday - Sun semi-sextile Neptune. Last aspect of the year here in the Eastern Time Zone is the Moon conjunct Pluto, echoing the great difficulties of the period passing away. Pluto in Sagittarius now is a symbol of transformation of values which is the way to salvation for us now.
