In his blog (“Business, as Unusual”) from this past Monday, Eric refers to Sagittarius as “the phase of the year when time seems to run the fastest.” Yet, the zodiac is full of things slowing down (in word or in deed or both) and at the same time moving forward.

Today, Mercury (gradually slowing down to go retrograde for Boxing Day (Dec. 26), conjoins the Galactic Center, the place that implies what we all have in common. Less than a week and the messenger enters the front end of echo phase. If it has a battery or wheels, make up your mind soon.
The Sun (not slowing down but definitely going south for one more month) today exacts its conjunction to Pholus, with its feeling of sudden release; and its opposition to the beyond-Neptune object Chaos in Gemini. This setup was part of the story of the rather nervous Full Moon we just experienced. When the Sun passes by, Pholus and Chaos will still be in opposition, waiting for something new to come along and get their attention. Polarization is the theme of the week: the Afghanistan announcement is doing a good job. Yet the fact that Tiger Woods has hormones and is capable of misjudgments is getting more news gab time than any other story, at the moment.
