Astrology – Moving Planets

Last week, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck,  moved into the creative sign of Pisces for the next 12 months –  artistic types should have a good time. “More” is always best with this planet, so just be careful about extremes. (Draping the Empire State building in Chartreuse silk may be a bit much/ or not?)

As mentioned in a previous post, Mars is waltzing backward in the sign of Leo until March 10, 2010.  Are you feeling sluggish? Do projects, new ideas seem to be stuck in molasses? This is a good time to look over the “actions” you are planning. Think over commitments again – any fine tuning, reevaluation needed?

But, by March, the fiery planet charges forward again with all its potent energy.  Hey – we could all use some breakthroughs somewhere!

BTW: Mercury went into direct motion on January 15th.  Technical, and communication problems, attributed to this planet’s Retrograde status, should dial down.  Computer, telephone and T.V. breakdowns should be kept to a minimum. Although we should always be careful about what we say/write, signing a contract now will have fewer minefields to worry about.

It’s all good!

Retrogrades – Mercury and Mars

Mercury goes retrograde in the Earth sign of Capricorn – December 26 until January 15, 2010.  (Previous retrogrades for 2009 all involved Air signs – now it will occur in the stable, business focused, ambitious Capricorn.)

This change from Air to Earth can mean a difference in the area of life where the influence of Mercury’s backward movement can be felt, but regardless, with this planet it is all about communications. So by now you know the drill – review, reconsider what you say, and write – until mid January when Mercury goes forward again.

And:

Mars goes retrograde as of 12/20/09 in the Fire sign of Leo. It will go backwards in the same sign until March 10, 2010 and reverse. – (since this planet only goes backwards every 2 years or so, you have to pay attention when it changes direction.)

Watch for any temper and volatility issues as this “you wanna piece of me?” red planet slows down. Once fully in backward motion, you might notice a stall in certain areas of your life (creativity, career/business, etc) – things were jumping and then all of a sudden not.

Fiery, energetic Mars may not be sparking the plugs as it usually does. You might want to look again at the actions you are planning – any fine tuning, re evaluation needed? This is a good time to do it. Life won’t stop. You may need to prod things along, but events will start to bounce again after early March.
