“The truth must be quite plain, if one could just clear away the litter.”Agatha Christie
COSMIC WATCH:
With today’s Moon in “investigative” Scorpio, digging below the surface is likely the best strategy by which to play the day and, hopefully, come out the insightful victor in the game of life in the process. As Aldous Huxley once wrote, “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”
The Moon’s trine to “philosophical” Jupiter (1:56 pm EST) also seems to be a big boon for us here as it can help us to put any lingering or bothersome minutia (facts) into a larger, understandable context that feels very freeing or expansive. Moon trine Jupiter is a classic aspect of “opportunity.”
Later, the Moon’s conjunction with “utilitarian” Saturn (7:58 pm EST) reveals to us the infinite, ageless wisdom of “conserving our resources.”

COSMIC WATCH:
The last Full Moon of the year is occurring today in the sign of “nesting” Cancer, at 7 degrees (5:21 am EST), putting a spotlight on home, family, and security concerns. With this Full Moon, we also have the chance to gain greater awareness of how our personal life (Cancer) impacts our professional life (Sun in Capricorn), and vice versa. We are also ideally seeking to achieve more of a harmonious balance now between these two realms. Something that is often quite challenging for us to do.
Too, with Full Moons signifying a time of release, it is likely that certain elements will need to exit our lives now in order to obtain what we want for ourselves. Additionally, this “phasing out” period may be even more noteworthy now, as this Full Moon opposes “purging” Pluto and squares radical, “change-agent” Uranus. Plus, we are at the end of another calendar year and are likely much more eager to want to put the past behind us now, so we can start out fresh in the new year.
Moon-Pluto can provide us with greater resolve to face or tackle some of our darker or more serious issues, the ones that we maybe have been avoiding for a while because we were perhaps fearful or unsure of how to deal with them. In some cases, too, we may be forced to deal with certain issues now whether we want to or not. Both Pluto and Uranus have been known to add a certain urgency to our affairs, especially if we have been resistant to dealing with things in the past.
Also, this lunation trines “responsible” Saturn and “wounded healer” Chiron, suggesting that we do have two old masters by our side to guide us now. Moon-Saturn particularly summoning up our own mature judgment and wisdom, culled from our unique blend of life experiences. Moon-Saturn can make us very resourceful and resilient in the face of whatever life happens to serve up on our plate. “Turn your wounds into wisdom.”Oprah Winfrey

“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!'”

“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.”
