Doubt: 1) to be uncertain about; consider questionable or unlikely; hesitate to believe 2) to distrust
Yes, once again, it’s the exciting monthly Moon opposition to “hard-boiled” Saturn in judicial Libra (9:44 am EST), that so many of us perennially look forward to with a characteristic sense of doom and gloom.
The “gung-ho” Aries Moon is temporarily derailed today by “doubting Thomas” Saturn, who tries to effectively act as a wet blanket to some of our Aries Moon’s “ever manic” dreams.
Saturn: “Have you done any due diligence with respect to what you’re attempting?”
Aries Moon: “Nope.”
Saturn: “Do you have financial resources squirreled away to see you through for a while?”
Aries Moon: “Nope.”
Saturn: “Have you been drinking the Neptunian Kool-aid again?”
Aries Moon: “Yup.”
Saturn: “I rest my case.”
Aries Moon: “Golly, gee! Fiddlesticks!”
It’s okay, though. There will be sweet, joyful revenge tomorrow when the illuminating Sun in “reach for the stars” Sagittarius makes a tight square to “Santa Claus” Jupiter in “wishful thinking” Pisces. A time when we have faith and inner assurance that all of our “pie in the sky dreams” will fly – and we don’t have to prove beans to Saturn. 🙂

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” Albert Einstein
Cosmic Word Of The Day:Impulsive
(Challenged Aries Moon)
Impulsive: 1) actuated or swayed by emotional or involuntary impulses 2) having the power or effect of impelling; characterized by impulsion
While the intensity of yesterday’s triple conjunction in Capricorn has abated some, there is still plenty of volatility to go around, especially with today’s fiery Moon in Aries, which tends to make us more impulsive or rash in our actions. In other words, we’re more prone to “jumping the gun.”
Too, the Moon forms challenging squares to Mercury (10:58 am EST), Pluto (11:43 am EST) and Mars (12:32 pm EST). The celebrated stars of Monday’s trifecta.
Also, with Pluto, symbolizing elimination, still activated, this is another excellent day for purging or recycling matters, including deleting such things as old computer files, or emails, to free up space.

“Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.” Jeremy Bentham
Cosmic Word Of The Day:Stretch
(Mercury, Mars, Pluto triple conjunction)
Stretch: 1) to draw tight or taut 2) to lengthen, widen, distend, or enlarge by tension
“With retrograde Mercury (mind) conjunct energizing Mars and regenerating Pluto in achievement Capricorn, we are likely feeling the need to stretch or extend ourselves today.
It may be crucial for us to seek out personally transforming activities (Pluto) now, that help us to grow beyond our normal boundaries, or that help us to redefine ourselves (Pluto). There may also be a real need or desire to pioneer and blaze new trails (Mars). This may especially be the case on the career or professional front (Capricorn).
Our thoughts and ideas (Mercury) also have more of an intensity and focus to them now. We are more capable of strategic thinking and planning, and our capacity for understanding is also deeper (Pluto). We are, correspondingly, better able to figure out riddles, and solve problems and mysteries.
It could be, too, that we learn about new information that has major impact for our lives, or hear about things that have previously been hidden (Pluto). Pluto governs spying, espionage, and leaks. Pluto also represents what is buried or hidden inside of us at the deepest levels, the reservoir of previous experiences that we have submerged. What we have suppressed or pushed down inside of us may be rising to the surface now, as Pluto rules the process of elimination and with Mars, this elimination process is activated. We purge ourselves of what we no longer need, so that we have room for new growth and evolution. Pluto governs death and re-birth. Too, as part of this purging experience, we may feel more of a need to talk about or verbalize (Mercury) what has been buried inside ourselves (Pluto). It is an excellent time, for instance, for psychotherapy.
On the shadow side of this highly volatile line-up of energy, and this line-up is very high-wattage today, we can easily overreact and overdo, and physically and mentally exhaust ourselves in the process. It is also easier now for us to become embroiled in heated arguments and disputes (Mercury-Mars), particularly bitter, manipulative power struggles (Mars-Pluto). If we see that more of the negative manifestation of this energy is playing out around us today, we may need to disengage ourselves somehow, while simultaneously searching for more inclusive strategies for compromise, or cooperation with others. This triple conjunction energy can be very healing today, but only if we choose to tap into it in enlightened, non self-serving ways. That is the key
Meanwhile, the Moon’s continuing passage through emotional, retreating Pisces also heightens our sensitivity to the drama going on around us now and, at times, may put us at odds with our own desires to forge boldly ahead. The Moon’s conjunction with rebel Uranus (7:36 pm EST) also can magnify any personal feelings of inner tension or turmoil.

“Miracles happen to those who believe in them.” Bernard Berenson
Cosmic Word Of The Day:Wishful
(Moon in Pisces)
Wishful: 1) having or showing a wish; desirous; longing
“With day two of the fantasy-seeking Pisces Moon, we have yet another grand chance to openly engage in wishful thinking.
Included here: Our firm belief that lovable Simon Cowell will be dialing us up any minute with a big fat recording contract because he has heard about our wondrous singing in the shower from Paula Abdul.
We also feel pretty certain about the prospect of Oprah Winfrey squeezing down the chimney with Gayle King, this holiday season, putting a trip to Australia under our yuletide tree, too, as a show of gratitude for our being a faithful, loyal viewer to her show, her last season.
Yes, we need to enjoy these happy ‘fairy-tale endings,’ while we can today, because tomorrow the ‘big bad wolf’ pays us a visit to ‘shake us down’ with scary thoughts from our subconscious about the ‘Grench who stole Christmas,’ and who also is additionally threatening to blab our confidential Santa Claus list to WikiLeaks, most assuredly forever dooming our chance for a life-size, inflatable Ken doll under our yuletide tree. Alluding here, of course, to the ‘wicked witch of the west’ triple conjunction tomorrow of Mercury, Mars, and Pluto in ‘scrooge’ Capricorn. ‘Bah, humbug!'”

“Happiness: We rarely feel it. I would buy it, beg it, steal it. Pay in coins of dripping blood for this one transcendent good.” Amy Lowell
Cosmic Word Of The Day:Transcendent
(Moon conjunct Neptune. Moon in Pisces.)
Transcendent: 1) going beyond ordinary limits; surpassing; exceeding 2) superior or supreme 3) Theology (of the Deity) transcending the universe, time
“The non-conforming Aquarius Moon has her monthly meet-up with mystical Neptune (6:10 am EST), before descending into Neptune-ruled fantasy Pisces (1:41 pm EST).
We are seeking more of a transcendent experience today, wanting to be free from the hustle and bustle, particularly the ramped-up drama unfolding in the early degrees of accountable Capricorn with Mercury, Mars, Pluto, and the North Node all strategically holed up there.
It is empowering for us to steal some time away to “go within.” To visit that calming inner sanctuary, and bathe reflectively in its soothing waters, before continuing on our soul’s more complex journey in the days ahead.
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest.” Confucius

“There is no such thing as conversation. It is an illusion. There are intersecting monologues, that is all.” Rebecca West
Cosmic Word Of The Day:Retro
(Mercury turns retrograde.)
Retro: 1) of or designating a style of an earlier time 2) denoting something associated with or revived from the past
“Mercury turns retro in Capricorn today at five degrees.”
“Please, would you kindly repeat that for me? You say that the mercury is reading what? Five degrees? It feels more like about 70 in here to me. Unless I’m having a hot flash. Your mercury in your thermometer must be wrong, lady.”
“No, I’m not talking about the temperature. I’m talking about the p-l-a-n-e-t Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn today, at five degrees. Near malefic Pluto and hotheaded Mars, which means…”
“I’m sorry. But, I still don’t quite understand you. You also appear to be moving your upper right lip kinda’ funny when you speak. Are the planets making you do that? Or have you been, perhaps, hanging out with President Obama? Please, if you could. Repeat whatever you are saying, just one more time. The point you are making about the hot temperature on Mars is what? And how does it affect our hair?”
“Not Mars! Mercury. I was talking about M-E-R-C-U-R-Y! And, nothing about the temperature, or our hair! Mercury the planet, up in the sky, is going retrograde! 🙂
Yes, a sweet, nauseating preview of possible coming attractions the next 20 days as communicator Mercury, which also rules travel, goes retro, or seemingly backwards in motion, until Dec. 30th.
Mercury retrograde is a period of routine maintenance for our minds, diabolically visited upon us by a wicked cosmos.
It is set aside as a period for us to “review” and “reflect” upon our earlier thoughts and decisions, with a probable eye to “revising” whatever it is that we originally hatched or incubated inside our moist little reptilian brains.
Mercury retrograde characteristically correlates with misunderstandings, or general mental confusion. So it’s always a good idea to clarify and double-check things, especially travel plans. Also, we may want to double-check the thermostat. Just in case.

“Those who lack the company of the holy, remain all alone. Their pain never departs, and they fall into the grip of the Messenger of Death.” Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Cosmic Word Of The Day: Gripping
(Mercury, Mars, Pluto, North Node conjoined in Capricorn. Venus sextile Pluto.)
Gripping: 1) the act of grasping; a seizing and holding fast 2) a grasp, hold, or control 3) mental or intellectual hold
“A convergence of ‘gripping energy’ continues to unfold around us. We’re all sort of like sitting ducks for the next few days, held hostage to it. 🙂
One bright spot: There’s no need to spend any money on movie tickets to watch high action-packed dramas, when we have so much suspenseful adventure occurring around us now, on a daily basis, free of charge.
Fortunately, thanks to our knowledge of astrology, we can at least take some refuge in blaming most of the seemingly implosive events and turmoil that we are hearing about so much in the news now, on that dark little guy P-L-U-T-O, who is sitting cozily on his dethroned throne, with rare, warm assist from clever Mercury, warrior Mars, and the “let me point you in the direction of your karma, kiddies” North Node. All these players are singularly holed up in the sign of governmental, big business Capricorn.
Pluto’s, no doubt, been waiting for this captivating, ‘dream team’ Capricorn line-up, for quite a while, considering he’s such a power-monger and control freak. He’s no doubt loving the so-called ‘David and Goliath showdown’ playing out in the collective between WikiLeaks and governmental bodies, and now also big business (MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, Amazon, etc) is becoming roped into this scenario, with the arrival of gung-ho, soldier boy Mars into Capricorn. Capricorn really denotes authority figures and other high-profile types, in general. Basically, anyone who wields power over others, or at least, dreams of doing so. Too, with Capricorn, we’re thinking about our legacy, and the length of our obituary.
Then we also have, of course, prominently figuring into the equation here, the matter of Santa Claus Jupiter conjunct ‘hi-tech’ Uranus, in behind the scenes, ‘you’ll never be able to catch me’ Pisces, getting its seeming ‘encrypted code’ jollies. Generous Jupiter’s apparently putting rebel Uranian hackers under all of our holiday trees this season, thanks to dictatorial directives from Pluto and the rest of the gestapo gang in Capricorn. Maybe it’s because we’ve been too naughty this year? I just want to know one thing: Whatever happened to plain old Barbie and Ken dolls, and electric trains, as gifts?
Jupiter conjunct Uranus is associated with genius. The U.S. put a man on the Moon with this same exciting influence. But, now it also has the zealous hacker connotation to it, and the “freedom of speech at all costs” battle cry. Or, in other words, I’ll bust your cookie jar and steal all your cookies, and leave you only a few crumbs, if you don’t let me air your dirty laundry in public. Cranky Uranus has to have its freedom, loves being a law unto itself. No matter that there are billions of us here on planet Earth, and we all need to somehow figure out how to peacefully co-exist. Why can’t we make love, instead of waging computer war games?
The last couple days have also been emotionally very gripping with the death of beloved Cancerian, Elizabeth Edwards, and now also word that Aretha Franklin is suffering from pancreatic cancer. (Get well, Aretha.) We also had the very sad memorial for John Lennon yesterday, marking the 30th anniversary of his senseless death.
Too, even Oprah Winfrey was poignantly captured on tape yesterday, shedding some tears, during a Barbara Walters interview discussing her deep friendship with her best friend, Gayle King.
Simultaneous to these latter, personally gripping events, we have had relationship Venus in Scorpio (sign of death, rebirth, and crisis) sextile Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler), an aspect that often pulls at our heartstrings and tears at our emotions in unprecedented ways. With Venus-Pluto, we become deeply aware (Pluto) of the potentially awesome power of love (Venus), and its life-altering impact on our emotions. This Venus-Pluto influence will still be around for a few more days. We better continue to keep some Kleenex close by.
Still also not a peep out of George Clooney, either! We were hoping that he might come around with the magical Venus-Pluto. Yes, George is also worth at least two or three Kleenex. Looks like another bleak Saturday night’s on tap for us. Do you think that it could be that George is just shy, and that’s why he doesn’t connect with us? He does have his distant Capricorn Moon conjunct serious Saturn. Saturn maybe subdues him emotionally, and maybe does make him a little bit shy. ‘George, no need to worry. We’ll be gentle with you.’
Also today: The Moon enters emotionally detached, cerebrally-minded Aquarius (2:32 am EST), perhaps providing us with a better chance to momentarily glean rational, cooler perspective on everything that’s going on, and try to make sense of some of the mad theater playing out on the world stage, before Mercury does its thing and goes ‘rogue retrograde’ tomorrow until December 30th.”

“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Carl W. Buechner
Cosmic Word Of The Day:Engulf
(Venus sextile Pluto)
Engulf: 1) to swallow up in or as in a gulf; submerge 2) to plunge or immerse, as into a gulf
“We have sensuous Venus in passionate Scorpio sextile penetrating Pluto today. Our personal charm and magnetism know no boundaries. We are able to deliciously dazzle and sway everyone who crosses our path.
Theoretically, this could even include beguiling George Clooney, if only given a flickering chance at that golden opportunity.
‘All we are asking for is a couple minutes in your presence today, George. We’re certain that, once you get near us in the flesh, you’ll be instantly hooked. Venus-Pluto is truly that spellbinding. It’s magical. Mystical. Before you know it, George, you’ll be engulfed with a deep burning desire for us in every fiber of your being. It will be a desire like you have never felt before for any other woman on the planet. In fact, you’ll never want to leave our sight. Too, that reality could make vacuuming alone in the dark, a sweet thing of the past. But, we’ll figure out something here, George. Don’t despair. Maybe we can find a new way to vacuum together as a couple, with depth of meaning and vast wonderment.’
Additionally, not that any of us care here, the Moon remains in professionally ambitious Capricorn, and is well-aspected. Translation: We could also score big in the boardroom. Plus, George Clooney has his personal Moon in Capricorn in his horoscope. Yet another cosmic indication pointing to the inevitability that, yes, we will be together soon.
‘It’s in the stars, George! It’s kismet. Fate. There’s no escaping!'” 🙂

“Life’s not always fair. Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow.” Terri Guillemets
Cosmic Word Of The Day: Saturnian
(Moon in Capricorn. Sun sextile Saturn. Moon square Saturn. Mars enters Capricorn.)
Saturnian: 1) of or pertaining to the planet Saturn 2) of or pertaining to the god “Saturn,” whose reign is referred to as the “golden age.”
“Well, unfortunately, the gig is up for many of us today. It’s time to put away our coloring books and dump out the Kool-Aid and get serious about life. There’s simply no escaping the clutches of Karma Lord Saturn, the Taskmaster, today. The old guy’s got his frickin’ fingerprints everywhere. What’s worse: He’s too cheap to paint his nails!
First, we have the Moon in Capricorn, Saturn’s sign. Then we have the Sun in Sagittarius sextile Saturn in Libra (3:01 am EST). Then sex pistol Mars attempts to enter or penetrate the “frigid waters” of Capricorn – and is shockingly successful at it (6:49 pm EST)! Lordy, lordy! Last, but not least, the Capricorn Moon squares Saturn (10:19 pm EST).
So, there you have it. We have a Saturnian day to look forward to. Nose to the grindstone. Work, work, work, makes Jack a dull boy. Thanks to Saturn. No escape. No big hunk of cheese waiting for us. We’re not allowed to pass go or collect our $200. We’re barred from Boardwalk and Park Place. We’re trapped on Baltic Avenue. Saturn is squeezing out every last ounce of toil and sweat from us. And, the worst part of all: We don’t even have time to vacuum!” 🙂

“My physics teacher, Thomas Miner, was particularly gifted. To this day, I remember how he introduced the subject of physics. He told us we were going to learn how to deal with very simple questions such as how a body falls due to the acceleration of gravity.” Steven Chu
COSMIC WORD OF THE DAY:Rev
(Moon square Jupiter and Uranus; Moon conjunct Mars)
Rev: 1) to accelerate sharply the speed of (an engine or the like)
“The Moon’s journey through far-reaching Sagittarius has us operating at an enthusiastic, revved up speed today.
Aspects to preachy Jupiter (7:28 am EST), erratic Uranus (12:14 pm EST), and self-willed Mars (4:47 pm EST) , however, could make us overreach or overstep our boundaries.
We do regain an appreciation of all things practical, however, and quickly put our foot on the brakes, when the Moon takes up residency in time-tested, nuts and bolts Capricorn (6:17 pm EST). A good period to hone in on our professional ambitions.
Meanwhile, the illuminating Sun in Sagittarius makes a quintile aspect to mystical Neptune today, augmenting our spiritual sensitivity and consciousness, and deliciously stoking our imagination.
