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. 🙂

WikiLeaks Founder, Julian Assange, has been granted bail today by a British Judge. Assange was arrested a week ago in London after two women accused him of sexual misconduct in two separate incidents in Sweden last summer.
Notable here from an astrological angle: Assange received bail this morning with the Moon at 4 degrees of action-packed Aries (Aries rules law enforcement and police matters). The Moon was also in an exact square to “news breaker” Mercury and “transforming” Pluto, both stationed at 4 degrees of Capricorn, and both part of the ongoing high-drama, “triple conjunction” in Capricorn, also involving “warrior” Mars. The “square” aspect today served to force the matter of his bail, as squares force issues.
“Moon-Pluto” aspects tend to coincide with more emotionally-intense events, and often these events can impact the collective because Pluto rules the masses. Also, Pluto symbolically represents the elimination or purge process, it often brings a “release” or an “alteration” to matters. Pluto, though, can be very controlling and dictatorial, and today’s bail for Assange has several conditions attached to it.
Pluto also represents spying, secret information, and covert activities (WikiLeaks), and is additionally implicated in sex acts using force. The Moon-Pluto exact square aspect had the affect of bringing these issues temporarily to the forefront. It should also be noted here that Assange vehemently denies the sexual misconduct allegations of the two Swedish women.
Assange voluntarily turned himself in to British authorities last week when the Moon was in Capricorn at 5 degrees and tightly conjunct Mercury, Mars, and Pluto (the triple conjunction). Assange will face another court hearing on January 11.

“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.

“Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.” Stanislav Grof
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 the principles of 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, we can easily overreact and overdo, and physically and mentally exhaust ourselves in the process. Mars rules the physical energy in the body, and in alignment with intense Pluto, we tend to extend ourselves to the extreme. We become too stretched.
It is also easier for us now to become embroiled in heated arguments and quick-tempered disputes (Mercury-Mars), particularly bitter, manipulative power struggles (Mars-Pluto). Often with Mars-Pluto we act obsessively in ways that we don’t quite understand, as we are expressing needs and desires that are deep-seated in origin, that have been buried inside, and these things are consciously, for the most part, often unrecognized or misunderstood by us. If we see that more of the negative manifestation of this energy is playing out around us today, especially if we feel like lashing out for no good reason, we may need to find a way to disengage ourselves, 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.

“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

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.

“Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.“Emily Post
Definition of etiquette: 1) a prescribed or accepted code of usage in matters of ceremony, as at a court or in official or other formal observances 2) conventional requirements as to social behavior
Displaying proper etiquette can help us to move gracefully through social situations, and consequently help put others at ease. Employing etiquette demonstrates a caring for others, and a respect for ourselves.
With that said, below are some “holiday etiquette tips” for the twelve signs of the zodiac, served up in a more humorous fashion.
Aries: Remember to pay close attention to any “RSVP” invitations that you receive. In your characteristic haste, you can easily forget to respond, leaving the host or hostess dangling in the air, as to whether or not you will be attending an event. Also, given your “spur of the moment,” impulsive side, do try to refrain from “crashing” any parties (going somewhere uninvited).
Taurus: Do not serve yourself first at the dinner table, whenever you are hosting a party. Too, although you may be tempted, please do not reach for food on other people’s plates. We know you are self-indulgent, with a characteristically hearty appetite, but you’ll be better off here with a little bit of discipline. Your guests will also appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Gemini: Please remember to turn off your cell phone at any social or holiday functions. With your incessant penchant for chatting, this may be difficult. Also, no talking with your mouth full.
Cancer: Unless you are partying or socializing with relatives, please do not inquire with the hostess about the matter of leftovers. Or do not bring along doggie bags from home for the purpose of stealthily pilfering appetizers or h’orderves. Since your thoughts are mostly food-based, and you automatically squirrel away copious amounts of food for the future, for fear of possible famine, these restraints could pose some personal challenges.
Leo: It’s true that you can be highly entertaining, and we all know that you enjoy basking in the spotlight, but if you see that most of the guests have already left an event, and the hostess is glaring at you and yawning, please take the cue and kindly go.
Virgo: If you go to a party and the napkins don’t match the table cloth, or if you see someone has spilled their drink, or maybe dropped a lettuce leaf on the table, please try to kindly take it all in stride and refrain from making any critical or personally defamatory remarks about these matters. Even though we know that you’re dying inside to say something scolding.
Libra: Don’t show up at a holiday function with a guest, unless that person has also been invited. Bringing along uninvited guests to an event can be a real temptation for you, as you are such a social butterfly and constantly meeting new people and sleeping around. Also, don’t apply lipstick or other makeup at the dinner table, which you tend to do after you eat. This may apply to some of the Libra guys as well. 🙂
Scorpio: Avoid asking for detailed explanations, whenever guests arrive late to your holiday events: Who, what, when, where, and why. We know you are intrinsically suspicious and revel in giving others the third degree, but remember, it’s the holiday season. Just try to relax and enjoy. You really can do this!
Sagittarius: Steer clear of discussing hot-button topics, such as religion or politics, at holiday functions, and avoid food fights at the dinner table with those who disagree with you, especially with young children. Keep in mind that you need to lead by example.
Capricorn: It’s common knowledge that you are frugal, but please try not to be a Scrooge during the holidays. If you’re invited to a holiday party, be a good sport and spring for a nice gift for the host or hostess.
Aquarius: Make sure before you depart for a holiday event or social function, that you double-check the date, place, and time for it. You have been known to get a little lost or confused with these kinds of things, and show up on the wrong day, place, etc., causing untold embarrassment for yourself and others. Also, if it’s a black-tie affair, please wear more than just a black tie to the event. We all know about your reputation for acting a little foolish or outrageous.
Pisces: We know as a fish that you love to drink, but try not to reach for other guests’ drinks.

Venus – the mythological “Goddess of Love” – is intense and passionate in the pursuit of her romantic desires when she is in all-consuming Scorpio. Replete with animal magnetism, Venus in Scorpio knows how to turn on her many sensuous charms to ensnare her lover. She also knows how to release with a sudden fury, in the event, that the object of her affections should betray her.
Venus will be in Scorpio from November 30th, 2010, through January 7th, 2011.

“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

“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“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.
