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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Venus is not slowing down, but it sure seems like she’s dragging some of that Scorpio energy with her into Sagittarius as she semi-sextiles Pluto. Mars is crawling along (about a degree per week, preparing to be the first to station retrograde on the 20th).<\/p>\n

Jupiter is taking forever to exact its conjunction to Chiron (Monday, but this is one to make last). Saturn has reached the 4th degree of Libra, very close to where it will station regrograde in January.<\/p>\n

But on a much more practical note, the Moon changes signs to Cancer this morning. The Moon void in Gemini was that late, sloggish start everyone had; if you started anything this morning, you may need to start it over. The the Moon moves right into the cardinal sign square of Saturn and Pluto. Within a few hours today it will oppose Pluto and square Saturn. The last time it was there, when the Moon was in Aries last week, Tiger Woods had his little car accident.<\/p>\n

This does not exactly feel progressive, and it may be obsessed with the past. So, if you check out the media news to find forward motion into backward thinking, you are not crazy (unless you believe the ostensible rationale). If you look at others and encounter opposition, don’t take it personally — they could actually be working in your best interest. If you look inside and encounter resistance, that is exactly what you should push against (others will appreciate you taking the pressure off them). If you are tempted to stay up late and get it all done, remember that there will be another day.<\/p>\n

Just as (at the end of last week) Eric declared Mercury to be the theme-maker, your withered correspondent will now submit that the dominant aspect of our moment is the long embrace of Jupiter and Chiron. Sagittarius is represented by a Centaur and is the near-permanent home of two important galactic points (our own Galactic Core and the Great Attractor). Jupiter is the ruling planet of this sign. Chiron is the most famous of the Centaurs, damaged but also affirmed, even vindicated by his attempt to integrate his higher, human half with his lower, essential self. So what we have together coming together in Aquarius really is the full strength of Sagittarius at its best.<\/p>\n

Therefore, let it be proposed that we be aware of what is in the midst of transition, for there we will find the time to slow down and take a closer look. May we also be able to discern where there is pressure to on-rush and find a way to be carried with with it rather thank struggle against it. May we turn inward to apply and outward to allay and may we have the wisdom to know the difference.<\/p>\n
