Aries in Reverse

Dear Readers,

 

What interesting astrology we've got going on now. If I had to describe it in a single phrase, it would be "pioneering introspective" -- like an adventure story of opening up new inner territory. Lots of Aries action -- Amor, Venus, Sun, Mercury and the lunar node -- all say pioneering; and the fact of Mercury being retrograde is pulling the awareness inward. So we have a mix of outgoing and introspective -- which is really a perfect balance.

 

The Full Moon in Libra on Friday is keeping everything perky as well. Here, the Moon meets the Sun-Venus exterior conjunction, pouring a lot of feminine energy through the ethers. So there's really an excellent mix of outgoing and interior; of masculine and feminine energies.

 

Here is a chart for the Full Moon, set in Paris. The Moon is in gray, in Libra, conjunct the minor planet (asteroid) Pallas Athene. The Sun, in yellow, is conjunct Venus, in blue, in the 5th house of this chart (toward the lower right). Notice the conjunction of Mars and Chiron in Aquarius, on the bottom, just to the left of Neptune (the little blue trident). Notice the somewhat loose square between Jupiter in Libra (in orange, upper half of the chart toward the left) and Saturn in Cancer (top right, in yellow). This square is a developing story that occurs after both planets have gone into new signs -- Scorpio and Leo, respectively -- on Dec. 17. We'll be watching that particular news.

 

And without further ado, here are some of your questions and charts this week...tune into Planet Waves for more.
