\Toward or Within Christmastide/
Moon in Capricorn
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week begins at 5:05p PT | 8:05p ET | 1:05a(W) UT (until Friday)
By various criteria, I stated in the weekly report posted last Saturday that a happier phase of December would begin on Friday the 18th. I hold to that. One indication considered in that prediction was the entrance of both Saturn and Jupiter into Aquarius, the first on Thursday and the second on Saturday. Since these two have been together in Capricorn for a year, which coincided with the onset and duration of the pandemic, I have hope that this will be the beginning of the end of that disaster. Why? Because Capricorn, though often a fine sign for those born in it, is a precarious one when it comes to transiting planets placed within it. Aquarius is also ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions, yet in addition by Uranus, planet of freedom, so there may be a lot of demasking beginning by the 18th of this month and in 2021. (I did not say, "take off your mask," just speculating that such demasking may be possible before too long.) By another measure, the long-lasting presence of Mars in Aries while retrograde (now direct), squaring the Capricorn planets, shall continue while they are in Aquarius, until mid-February. Perhaps the duration of the pandemic (since about last March) will be almost exactly one year.
Tuesday:
Firming up our plans is possible and favorable while Mercury approaches its conjunction with the sun (Sunday and Monday), which will be the center of this Bright Hermetic Epoch extending from November 19 through January 14. Suggested: Write down what you expect to be doing for the next few months into 2021, your daily or weekly agenda, your longer-range plans, and so on. This is a good time to clarify all that with less intrusion of confusion than there is likely to be after January 14 (for about two months). As a warning against failing to define one's intentions we have "a man of tottering, uncertain gait carrying water which he spills on the ground." We can guard against indecision, faulty judgment and instability. If uncertain about some things, we could be like "a chubby boy on a hobbyhorse," pretending to "ride" or to carry out our hopes by emulating those who have done so, even if only in play at first This is a painless and harmless way of firming our intentions.
Inspiration is strong during the month of Sagittarius, Christmastide, whether expressed spiritually or merrily. "Three cups of wine upon a table in the form of a triangle" are "allied to the higher nature" of enthusiasm or mental intoxication. However, they could indicate debauchery. Venus's sextiles with Jupiter and Saturn could give us "a place of amusement with music, dancing, and singing on the program--a very large ballroom." This could be a virtual ballroom because of lockdown restrictions, maybe a movie or TV series. Charubel remarks pithily that this is "not great singing or great dancing, or great anything."
Traditionalism as mental, emotional or spiritual support is indicated by "a Grand Army of the Republic campfire" where reminiscence links us with others in inner shared strength. This could be family, nation, or group of comrades. Somehow or other "the gate to the garden of desire" opens out into a happy prospect. Dreams are enhanced, and optimism unfolds opportunities.
