Weekly Horoscope for Friday, December 10, 2010, #843 - BY ERIC FRANCIS

I suggest you call it a year on working toward any sort of professional advances or job searching, and shift the focus of your energy inward. The light is shining in your inner world and it's rather complicated in the angles of your chart where you have to relate to society in a responsible way -- so complex as to be counterproductive. Therefore with Mercury retrograde in that sector of your chart, devote your energy to closing up the business of the year and tying up any loose ends. Your inward focus will be far more productive toward anything you're striving for than what amounts to pointless busy work. Yes, check your email and your voicemail and respond selectively to what is important. Yet the juicy fruit is in your stoking your imagination, creating your vision and nourishing your dreams. If you're getting sick of hearing about the recession, unplug the television and turn on the Beatles.

Now is the time to start a fire and burn any beliefs that you don't want as a joyful year-end, decade-end sacrifice. By now you know what most of those beliefs are. You also know that most of the time, it seems difficult to change what seem like your fundamental ideas. It won't be difficult now, on many accounts; what is usually hidden from view is now out in the open, for one thing. For another, you've seen the negative effects of believing what is not true or what doesn't really apply to you. One problem with getting rid of old beliefs is that it really helps to have something to replace them with. Usually the new beliefs displace the old ones, though at the moment your mind is a dynamo of invention -- that's all the restless energy. In case you need guidance, here is how I would sum it up. Replace guilt with the absolute freedom to feel. Replace expectation with what you want to offer the world or those you love. Replace the concept of "God" with the reality of Self.

Keep it simple, and beware what you commit to. The usual advice of Mercury retrograde is "don't sign, don't buy." With Mercury retrograde in your 8th solar house (contracts, investments, taxes) then, it would be prudent to back off from all such business until it stations direct, or preferably, after the solar eclipse in early January. You will know more then than you do now. You will know more about the people you are dealing with -- which brings me to the ways that the current series of aspects may be reflected in your personal relationships. The theme translates to commitment in that zone where sexual relationships overlap with financial ones. That usually translates to marriage-like relationships. You will need to be an excellent listener through this phase, so that you really have a grasp where the people close to you are coming from. It may not be easy to avoid taking things personally, but a little detachment will go a long way.

There are times when fast communication works, and times to let discussions go on for weeks. Now would be an excellent moment for the latter approach. I suggest you make no attempt to finalize arrangements, opinions or intentions; rather, observe and deduce. Mercury retrograde is an interesting phase for people with Cancer or Cancer rising because it engages you with so much of what you've tucked away in the hidden corners of your mind (that's the natural relationship between Cancer and Mercury). As you discuss anything with another person, you're getting into a window into either what you believe, or what you don't want to believe. As the conversation evolves, move slowly, as if you're moving underwater. Remember that you're relating to some of your deepest material. Be gentle with everyone and you will learn a lot -- and open the door to a hidden dimension of pleasure.

Put a little extra emphasis on your health. That includes getting enough movement to stay flexible, and making sure you don't over-exert yourself, say, shoveling snow if you live in Buffalo and you don't exercise regularly. Get enough rest. Make sure that the floor stays dry and that you not only drive with caution, but also get in and out of the car with caution. As for your mind, the thing that runs the body: any stress management, or reduction, techniques you can put to work these days would be a good idea to warm up now. Remember, you can only do so much work, and only so much work is necessary. There is a long list of things that can wait till after January 2nd, and I suggest you keep that list current. Focus on what needs attention now, and when you're not focused on something, let your unconscious work on it quietly in the background.

Sexual adventures have a way of becoming something else. We know this, whether they morph into friendships, enemy-ships, love affairs, entanglements, scandals or actual loving relationships. But the thing to remember is that they tend to transform, and there is an old expression that 'sex changes everything'. It transforms us. All of that said, I suggest you focus on observing and participating consciously in that process of transformation. Part of that is going to involve monitoring your language. Are you speaking the language of peace or of power? Are you hearing words that invite or repel? In an odd way, your reality will follow the words you choose. I suggest you choose carefully, and listen just as thoughtfully. Ultimately this is the test: are your experiences creative? If so, that is where you want to be. If not, then gradually guide yourself to a new place, remembering as Adrienne Rich suggested: words are images; words are maps.

Whatever may be going on with you now, look for the emotional roots of the matter. Everything physical, spiritual or mental will -- for now -- come back to an emotional state that is influencing the rest of your reality. Your feelings will likely be grounded in your domestic situation, which may in turn be magnified by any encounter with your family of origin that is imminent as the holidays draw near. How does this translate, in practical terms? I suggest you spend plenty of time alone, getting a sense of your interior weather. Adjust your commitments according to how you actually feel rather than how you think you should feel. Take extra measures to take care of yourself, and follow the healer's guide, 'take care of yourself before you take care of anyone else'. This goes against the conditioning of our culture, especially for many women. If there is a 'lesson' in what you're experiencing, this may be it.

Beware of head-trips -- the kind you inflict on yourself, and the kind that others inflict on you. In fact I suggest you do your best to avoid all conversations of 'issues' with anyone you think has issues. If it sounds like I'm saying make nice and keep things superficial, you're correct, and it's probably the first time you've ever heard me say anything to that tune. Yet with the energy you save, I suggest you carefully investigate the inner ties that are binding you to your situation. This is likely to be a matter of your mental outlook, though that has many constituents, which include believing things that were perhaps true at one time but are not true today. Or, they were true for someone else but are not true for you. Be aware that you may be feeling particularly sensitive to what others are feeling, which could qualify as empathy or which could coax you into codependency. You're your own person -- live that way.

Make some fast decisions to slow down your outward flow of cash, and quickly return to more creative matters. Your chart is full of mixed signals at the moment, and if you listen to them, you'll get in the way of your ability to manifest the abundance you know is on its way. Therefore, I am suggesting you focus on something else, on something that feels good and creative and that leaves you with a sense of belonging and participation. While you're doing this, a deep level of instincts will take care of your survival, instincts that are likely to be confused when you translate them into concepts. Mozart is said to have asked his wife to read to him while he composed music, so as to distract the 'word' part of his brain and leave the rest of it free to create music. In a similar way I suggest you distract yourself from facts and figures, and spend your time in the abundantly lush territory of your creative life.

By the way, in case you haven't noticed, there's a really interesting alignment in your chart right now. Capricorn plays by different rules, though this still may be playing a tad of havoc with your head. Yet somehow you're in your element. You don't need to work harder or think deeper -- you're looking for the key idea that's going to unlock a puzzle and set your energy free. The way this is likely to work is in layers, and each layer will have its access point. Unlike most humans do these days, I suggest you remember the phases of this journey, because as you collect these revelations, they will add up to more than the sum of the parts; or said another way, you add up to more than the sum of your talents, your ideas and your good deeds. A lot more. Happy discovering that fact.

As you know, you're not the cool, logical person that the world perceives you to be, and that you love to be when you can. Particularly lately, you're an intricate, complex and inwardly focused critter, always preparing to leap off the next psychic cliff. What is really interesting, and exciting, is that you're losing your intimidation about exploring your own labyrinth. You're fully aware that there is a vast dimension to you that has no adherence to logic, no loyalty to being rational, no need to make sense all the time. What you would benefit from is clarifying your relationship to the past. It still seems more solid to you than it really is. I suggest you consider the idea that the past is an interpretation. And as you look at it differently, that interpretation will change -- and as you see the past in an original way, you will create an interpretation that favors you.

Focus on who you are -- not who others think you are, or who you think others think you are. That is entirely their business. It would, of course, be a triumph in the life of a fish to not take personally what others seem to think of you personally, but it's a huge distraction, and besides, you would be surprised how little many others think of anyone besides themselves. I say this because you're visible at the moment -- it's that time of year. If what you do in life is designed to reach out, trust that you're doing just that. Yet remind yourself that you're not really reaching -- you're emanating a vibration. I suggest you focus your awareness on tuning that vibe like a guitar. Harmonize with your desire, and very quietly be who you are and nobody else. That is your point of influence and indeed of power.
