MONDAY, December 15 – SUNDAY, December 21
Hello!
Are we having fun yet? These are not the sunniest influences, although they are purposeful. Last week, Mars squared Saturn and Neptune, and this week the Sun follows course. In terms of the weather, we will be making our way through fog with icy conditions underfoot. It will be easy to slip and lose our bearings. On the other hand, real and beautiful things can emerge from our labours, and our faith in something greater than ourselves can be restored.
And it is the season to be jolly.
I think many of you know where I’ll be. Behind my desk tapping away at the year-aheads, my labours periodically lifted by the sound of peeling bells from the Cathedral. (Wells is the most beautiful place to be at any season, but Christmastime is special.) Every year, I believe I will start my forecasts early enough not to be writing them over the holidays, but every year, I end up doing just that.
Returning to the Saturn-Neptune dyad, the last time this conjunction took place, the Berlin Wall came down. I remember watching the extraordinary and uplifting events of that day in November 1989 and feeling that we were entering a new era, an era of hope and union. Thirty-six years later and we are here again, but instead of walls coming down, defences between east and west are being bolstered and in place of optimism fears are growing of war in Europe. But could all this be an illusion and what will eventually emerge out of this period of darkness and fear will be a new era of union and communion?
I look at the prospects for the current period in my video on the New Moon in Sagittarius, which will be live tonight Saturday December 13th.
