December 2019 Horoscopes

December 2019 Horoscopes 

Hello, 

I hope these horoscopes find your as aura bright as a cop's flashlight in your face on a dark and stormy night, your chakras spinning like a new washing machine, and your vaginal / anal walls as strong as a toddler with a grip on your leg as you try to leave them alone long enough to go to the bathroom alone..... 

• Aries- Now you identify with your inner free-spirit. You want more freedom, freedom to explore new people, new places, new cultures, new knowledge,  and new ideas. However, it is important that you remain grounded and don't let yourself get too carried away in your explorations. 
• Taurus- You feel more supported this month in an intimate way and now you feel that you are ready to make deep, powerful changes in your life. To this end, you reflect more and can be brooding. You emotions can sway between extremes but you're not apt to share your feelings with anyone at the moment. 
• Gemini- You identify more with others this month, and tend to see things from the other person's point of view rather than your own. You make a better effort to get to know the people around you and you are more willing to meet someone in the middle in order to attain and maintain peace. In fact, you may tend to give more than you get... and that's okay for now. 
• Cancer- You're busier than normal this month and find yourself spending more time on your work. You want to get organized and make streamline your processes. You spend more time on the details of any matter and fail to consider the big picture now. You hold yourself and those around you to a higher standard now. 
• Leo- You're more about being social, spending time with your friends, dating, or enganging in your hobbies or other creative pursuits. You're not interested in anything that remotely wreaks of work. If single, you are more determined to meet someone and fall in love; if partnered you want to spend more time with your significant other. Either way, you just want more attentnion. 
• Virgo- You're a real homebody this month. You identify more with your home, your family, and you're ancestors now.  You spend more quality time with your family this month or use your time to renovate, refurbish, redecorate, or refresh your home  to make it a place of peace comfort for yourself and those you love. 
• Libra- Your mind races now with many thoughts and ideas.  You spend more time now making many short trips around your neighborhood, meeting and speaking with many people. You may spend more time with your siblings and start many projects but fail to finish them. 
• Scorpio - You're feeling more secure in yourself this month and carry yourself with more confidence. You may come into more money or have the opportunity to make more money this month. The more money you have, the more secure you feel. However, there is danger that as you make more money, you also spend more money. It is important that you exercise moderation in your spending. 
• Sagittarius- You have more energy this month and are able to direct it towards your goals and aspirations. You carry yourself with more confidence and bravado and may even feel a little cocky to boot. You are really feeling your oats and want to attract more attention and interest. In your mind, its your world and everyone else is just living in it. 
• Capricorn- You're feeling more introspective and reflective this month. You explore the inner realms of your mind and soul. You can be more sensitive to the energy of the people around you or the places that you find yourself in. You may find that being around other people leeches your energy reserves and you need more time alone to recharge yourself.
• Aquarius- You're feeling less selfish this month and want to join a humanitarian cause or group in order to help make the world a better place.  As much as you want to help others, you also want to avoid drama and group politics so you maintain a detached attitude. If you find yourself being drawn into conflict, you can just as easily leave the group and do what you can for the cause as an individual. 
• Pisces- You're focused on your goals this month and benefit from self-promotion. You enjoy a good reputation and people are more apt to help you in your career now. It would behoove your to make an appointment with your boss or mentor to assess how you are doing, figure out how you can improve, and set attainable goals for the future.

New Moon in Sagittarius (General) 

When the New Moon is in Sagittarius people are generally more outspoken, kinder, and more generous, social, and well-humored.  People are fond of change now and so they can be more restless than usual. They may also feel a strong urge to travel, to see new people and to do new things. 

A New Moon brings new opportunities and a New Moon in Sagittarius brings new opportunities to broaden your mind and expand your horizons through exploring new places, or meeting new people. People are generally more adventurous and willing to take more chances.  A renewed interest in spirituality may also be a result of the new moon in Sagittarius.     

The area where Sagittarius falls in your chart is the area of life where the New Moon in Sagittarius will most be felt. 

• If Aries is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 9th House. 
• If Taurus is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 8th House. 
• If Gemini is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 7th House. 
• If Cancer is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 6th House.

Example 

New Moon in Sagittarius and the 2nd House

Venus in Capricorn 2019

Venus in Capricorn 

11/25/19 4:25 PM PDT 

Whole Houses / Natural Chart 

When Venus is in Capricorn, people can be more cold, distant, and conservative. They are more ambitious, professional, responsible and formal. With Venus passing through the earthy- cardinal sector of the chart that rules over career, ambition, and profession you may find love and friendship activities melding with career ones. With the holidays coming up, this can translate to office thanksgiving parties or celebrations, important lunches or dinners with the boss and / or coworkers.  This is a time to relax a little but not too much. There is a need to walk the fine line between being friendly and social but still keep it professional.  

Where Capricorn falls in your natal chart is the area of life where Venus in Capricorn will most be felt. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th house. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th house. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th house. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th house. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th house. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th house. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th house 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd house. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd house. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st house. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th house. 

Example 

Venus + Capricorn + 3rd House 

When Venus is in Capricorn and the 3rd house of communiucation, siblings, and long journeys you could appear colder and more distant, or formal, in your communications with others. However, you are also abel to turn on the charm in order to get your point across and get what you want from others. Venus being the plent of love in the 3rd house (ruled by Gemini, the Twins) can also point to the possibility of a love triangle forming. Since Capricorn rules one's career, you could find yourself torn between your career and your love, or you could be town between two people that you meet at work, while traveling, or through a sibling.

When the Sun is in Sagittarius people are more relaxed and open to exploration on an inner as well as an outer level. People are more interested in and receptive of new ideas, new philosophies, new cultures, new people, and new ways of thinking. People thirst for not only new knowledge, but also new experiences. 

The house that Sagittarius occupies in your natal chart is the area of life where the Sun in Sagittarius will most be felt. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Sagittarius is your 9th House

With the Sun in Sagittarius and the second house that desire to explore new thoughts, ideas and people is felt in the area of money, material matters, and personal values. Your focus is on security and material well being and you are willing to explore new and different ways to create more security for yourself. You may meet someone who open up new avenues for you that will also you to secure more money, make it last, or who will help you examine and define what you value and what you do not. 

On a personal note, as the time that the Sun entered Sagittarius and my own second house I was offered the opportunity at my place of work to open a 401K. The idea of starting a 401K at my age was something that I had previously rejected because I felt that I was too old. However, given new information and a new perspective on the topic, I had decided to invest part of my income into the 401K.

Mars in Scorpio 2019

Mars in Scorpio 

11/18/19  11:40 PM   PDT 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

When Mars (I Act) is in Scorpio (I Desire) people are people are more driven to make changes in their lives. However, such changes aren't superficial but rather are more deep and meaningful.  The mind is sharper and more attuned to seeking out the truth of any matter that piques their interest. However they may often find that they need someone, a partner, to help them achieve their goals. Incidentally, they are more apt to have disputes with partners as well, usually over money. 

With Mars (I Act) making an opposition to Pluto (I Transform) you may feel that you need more power in your life but that power is being held by someone who refuses to share it with you. You may feel that you need to take power for yourself and you will by very controlling and dominating in order to accrue more power for yourself. 

Where Mars falls in your natal chart is the area of life that will most be affected by Mars in Scorpio. 

• If Aries is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 8th House 
• If Taurus is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 7th House 
• If Gemini is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 6th House 
• If Cancer is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 5th House 
• If Leo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 4th House 
• If Virgo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 3rd House 
• If Libra is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 2nd House 
• If Scorpio is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 1st House 
• If Sagittarius is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 12th House 
• If Capricorn is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 11th House 
• If Aquarius is your rising sign, the Scorpio is your 10th House
• If Pisces is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 9th House

Example

Mars + Scorpio + 1st House 

Mars (I act) in Scorpio (I desire) in the first house of self can translate to I act passionately on my desire for change and transformation concerning myself. With Mars in Scorpio and the first house you have more drive and energy and it shows. You direct this energy towards anything that you are excited about or interested in. You can be more competitive and confrontational, and will need to work off that excess of energy with some kind of physical outlet. This is a good time for beginnings, however, anything begun while Mars in transiting the first house is not likely to be finished. You may have a tendency to start things but not finish them and have too many balls in the air.

Aspect to Natal Chart 

You will also want to look at any aspects forming between Transit Mars and planets in your Natal, or Birth Chart. For example. With Mars in 0° Scorpio applying a conjunction with my Natal Venus in 2° Scorpio I can look forward to more energy and a greater desire for physical intimacy.  If a physical outlet is not found, then there is danger of spending money on things that are unnecessary. 

But wait, there's more! 

Transit Mars is also applying a conjunction to my Natal Ascendant. What this means is, again, greater energy and a desire for competition and a more likely change of confrontations with other. There isn't just a need to compete, but also to win. Again, the sex drive increases and could make you more appealing to some while causing others to hate for without knowing exactly why.

How will Mars in Scorpio manifest for you? 

Full Moon in Taurus 2019

Full Moon in Taurus 

11/12/19  5:34 AM 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs. As you can see from the chart above the Moon is in 19° Taurus and the Sun is in 19° Scorpio making this a Full Moon 

The Big Picture 

The Sun is transiting the area of the chart that rules over shared resources, while the Taurus Full Moon is strengthening our sense of self-worth and personal values. So there is a dynamic here of what is ours versus what is mine. In the natural chart, Taurus is aligned with the second house which is a succedent house. A Full Moon in a succedent house highlights our sense of security and what we need in order to feel secure in our lives. 

A Full Moon in Taurus and the 2nd house would indicate a need to (re)evaluate our sense of self-worth and personal values. We may even find that our individual values do not mesh well with the values of those around us. You may feel that someone is trying to control you or change you in a way that you do not wish to be controlled or changed. 

This is a good time to pay off any debts. You can indulge yourself more and, unless you exercise moderation, there is danger of eating more for pleasure that out of need leading to gluttony; or spending too much money on unnecessary item. 

The Personal Touch 

To better understand how the Full Moon in Taurus will affect you, you need to look at the house that Taurus occupies in your Natal, or birth, Chart.  For example, in my Natal Chart, Taurus is in the 7th house of relationships. A full moon in the 7th house will highlight issues of relationships. Whereas a New Moon brings something new into your life, a Full Moon can often bring endings and completion. With the Full Moon in the Taurus and the 7th House, you can re-evaluate your personal values as it pertains to the relationships in your life. It is possible that a relationship could end or a new one can begin.  This is also a good time to give your partner a little more space in the relationship, allow them to grow and shine on their own. 

In addition with Transit Moon at 19° Taurus making a Trine to my Natal Sun at 22° Virgo I may find that I am more intuitive and can make decisions more easily. The balance between home and work is more equal and both aspects of my life bring satisfaction.  Finally, I may find that expressing my emotions is much more easier.  

How to Work with Full Moon in Taurus Energy  

• Draw up a budget for yourself that you can stick to. Figure out what you can do without or don't need anymore. For example, I have a Netflix account but rarely use it, so I may consider canceling the account. 
• Open a savings account or a 401K. If you already have either of these, review your contribution amount to see if you can increase how much you save or invest. Ask you company about matching contributions. 
• Purchase homeowners or renter's insurance. 
• Exercise more patience
• Make a list of those personal values (loyalty, honesty, etc. )  that are important to you and strive to nurture and emulate those qualities in yourself. 
• Make an inventory of your personal valuables and put this list in a safe place. 
• Rather than buy new things to make you feel better or to keep up with the Joneses, learn to appreciate what you have. 
• As far as possible, without creating a financial hardship for yourself, pay off a debt. 
• If you have debt. call your lender and see if you can re-negotiate your interest rate.

On the Use of Astro-Dice

On the Use of Astro-Dice 

Astrodice are three 12-sided dice on which are engraved various astrological symbols. One die is marked with the symbols for the 10 planets, plus the North and South Node; one die is marked with the 12 signs of the zodiac; and the last die is marked with the 12 houses. 

To use them, the dice are shaken up, either in one's hand or some kind of container such as a dice cup, and then thrown on a flat surface. The resulting throw is interpreted by Planet, Sign, and House. 

Manner of Interpretation 

As has been stated elsewhere in this blog, Planets represent what is happening, Signs represent how it is happening, and Houses represent where it is happening. Interpretation occurs in two steps. They are:

1. Using your keyword system string together a basic, though somewhat contrived, sentence.
2. Refine and translate your sentence into a clearer, more causal or conversational tone. 

Example # 1 

Sun + Libra + 2nd House 

1. My power and authority is used diplomatically in the area of money and material matters
2. You are a diplomatic, peace-keeper and people-pleaser who vacillates when it comes to making decisions about money or values.  You tend to err on the side of caution and take the safe route, that is, the tried and true over anything too risky. However, you still tend to question if you made the "right" decision.  

Example # 2 

Venus + Scorpio + 9th House 

1. Your urge to love and be loved is deep and intense when dealing with matters of freedom, higher ethics, and education. 
2. You tend to become intensely and passionately attracted to anyone who can give you the opportunity to expand your horizons and expose you to new ideas, new cultures, and new people.  You may sometimes confuse sex with love and vice versa. 

Astrodice are an excellent tool for the new student to astrology to practice his or her interpretation skills. However, they may also be used as an oracle in and of themselves by simply thinking of a question, throwing the dice, and interpreting the results. 

Let's ask a question relating to current events and divine our answer. For example: Will Donald Trump be impeached?

The Moon + Gemini + 1 House 

The moon represents our emotional urges. Gemini is the sign of trickery and division, and finally the first house relates to self and how we present ourselves to the world as well as how we are seen by the world. This combination points to a personality that is emotionally unstable, restless, and wishy-washy. The subject is prone to contradictory statements, deception, and chicanery and this is who he will be seen and perceived by the world at large. Based on this combination I would venture to say that Donald Trump's misdeeds will become known and, under this scrutiny, he will be his own worst enemy.

Venus in Sagittarius 2019

Venus in Sagittarius 

1/1/2019  1:24 PM Pacific 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

When Venus (I love) is in Sagitarrius (I know) people are more outgoing and optimistic. They can be restless, impatient, and sometimes intolerant.  Generally speaking, people are apt to like things that are foreign (people, places, cultures, etc...).  Finally they love gambling and are more apt to take risks. 

Where Sagittarius falls in your natal chart is the area of life where Venus in Sagittarius will most be felt. 

• If Aries is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 9th House. 
• If Taurus is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 8th House. 
• If Gemini is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 7th House. 
• If Cancer is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 6th House.
• If Leo is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 5th House. 
• If Virgo is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 4th House.  
• If Libra is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 3rd House. 
• If Scorpio is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 2nd House. 
• If Sagittarius is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 1st House. 
• If Capricorn is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 12th House 
• If Pisces is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 11th House. 

Example 

Venus in Sagittarius and the Second House 

With Venus (I love) in Sagittarius (I know) in the 2nd house of money, material possessions, and personal values you want financial freedom so that you can have more comfort and luxury. Having money and things of value gives you a sense of security. You want to be able to afford to travel and explore new cultures, new ideas, and new people.  If you are interested in romance, you could meet someone while traveling, from a different culture than your own and/or someone who works with money in some way such as a banker, accountant, or even a bookie! 

The Aspects 

Comparing Venus in 0° Sagittarius to your own chart will add another dimension to your interpretation. For example,  in my own chart Transit Venus is applying a conjunction to my Natal Neptune in 4° Sagittarius. When Venus is conjunct Neptune, you can be more inspired and creative. You may feel more spiritual and look for beauty in everything around you. The downside to this is that you can be more vulnerable to deception.
