It is again the turn for our last comments for the year  2010, as we do every December every year.

Especially, during the first half of  this month all the planets are placed in one half  of   the sky.  They are placed in the six sun signs found in this half.  If,  we admit  that the Moon is an exception, then this placement will continue during the whole month and the first months of  2011.

What does that mean? Is it positive or negative? Shall we happy with it or worry about it? Of course,  none of  them are valid.

The first thing that comes to mind is during this period there wouldn’t be oppositions and hard aspects that would create tension power struggles and oppositions. However, we cannot say the same thing about the square aspects.  There may be difficult situations, pressures, but we may still think that there wouldn’t be much tension and bickering.

It is more possible that there may be positive, complementary situations that lead to  one another. There may be important advancements in learning well and in making personal advancements. In addition to these there may be promotions, the possibility to see and complete whatever is lacking.

It may be easy to become aware of  the experiences brought along by life and making use of them.

Those who have planets in Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricon, Aquarius and Pisces would have more positive influences in general. Therefore, they may behave in a more powerful way. Their energies would be high and due to this they would be more willing, creative, more correct and more influential. The babies who will be born in these signs and especially between noon and midnight would be more talented and capable. In general, they have the chance to  be more powerful and dominant individuals.

For the sun signs Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo and for those who have planets in these sun signs there may be negative and weak influences from time to time.  If, you are feeling insecure, uncomfortable, unwilling and as if your energy is very low ,then be sure that you are receiving the hard influences from the opposite.

This month Venus will be giving luck from Scorpio together with the smell of love.  Mercury will be stepping into Capricorn, but there is one obstacle which makes it slow down. Perhaps, Capricorn is not yet ready for such an activity. It can be understood that Capricorn dominates Mercury and sends our little naughty child back.

So, instead of speaking much and playing with words I am announcing the last Mercury retrograde period in  the last month of  the year which will take place during the last ten days. It will be between December 10th-30th.  The first 10 days will take place in Capricorn and the second ten days in Sagittarius.

Mars, will be passing over to Capricorn on December 8th. It completes the month here and the rest is left over to  the new year.

We know that both Mercury and Mars have good connections with Capricorn although the structures of the two are completely different. Their collabaration is useful.  Their lively energy gives a superior capacity for being active. Along with this Capricorn controls them with its strong, determined, practical character and in a way trains them and there comes out a meaningful composition.

On December 5th the new moon rises in Sagittarius.  It is a suitable day for travel, commerce, shopping, to start something that you like and afterwards keep the nice memories. It would be useful for reading, gathering information, doing research, being good to others, helping people and giving advice to  them would be nice.

On December 21st, there will be the full moon in Gemini and together with this there will be the eclipse of  the Moon. This time we wouldn’t be able to see it, but it doesn’t mean that we should ignore it.  It is interesting that at the same time the sun will be changing signs too and this is important. It is possible to experience a change. There may be risks in communications, technical and electronical equipment. 

The feelings and the perception may be out of  control, it may be difficult to express oneself, it is possible to overlook the reality and skip the important points  and get carried away by the wrong thoughts and become restless and create problems. It would be useful to be careful in money and financial matters.  There may be problems regarding the women and the children.

In general, this month there are soft aspects, but as a hard aspect there is the Mars-Uranus square. It will be effective during the first week of the month. As the retrograde motion of Uranus is coming to an end you should be alert regarding the sudden events which may upset everything.

It gives a tendency to be rebellious. One may be stubborn, impatient, would not listen to anyone, therefore it may be possible to experience difficult situations. You may not control your speech, you may feel the right to be furious and to quarrel. There may be a tendency for the accidents, injuries, and illnesses.

This is extremely important for the people of Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini and Virgo and those who were born on the last days of these signs.  This is also a warning for those who have  strong,hard or sensitive planets on the last degrees of  these signs.

There is also the Mars-Pluto conjuction which you should take into consideration.  This may disturb Capricorn very much.  This transit will be influential between December 11th-15th and please take into consideration that Mercury is retrograde at the same time which is very important.

It may create the need to make deep rooted changes or even if you do not want you may be left amidst changing conditions.  You may want to handle the difficult situations and problems immediately even if you are not too eager for this. Your fight with yourself can turn you into someone who is harsh and pitiless.  The high energy will influence you whether you want it or not. If, Mercury had not been retrograde perhaps it would be possible to use it in the correct way, but now it is really difficult to handle it.

The people of  Cancer and Aries will be hardly influenced from this transit. The people of Pisces and Taurus may use it in the positive way if they are cautious and alert.

On December 16th there is the sweet and nice trine of  Sun-Neptune-Moon. For the people of Sagittarius, Aquarius and Aries this aspect increases their talents and makes everything easy. They may feel happy and relaxed. I think that dealing with more sensitive, subtile  subjects which concern your emotions would make you feel better.  The reason is that during this transit the concentration of energy is on the feelings. You may be feeling physically weak. Therefore, it would be better not to deal with tiresome work.

You may prefer to do some scientific work (but not too deep), some mystical work or  a situation may arise which will make you feel comfortable. It may give you an energy which will make you direct yourself towards the events and the people around you.  You may understand their needs more quickly and help them and people may ask you for help..  As a result, during these few days easy to deal with charity  work.

Between December 24th-29th the Sun conjucts Pluto .  This takes place in Capricorn and it increases your power and strength and make you prove yourself. There may be positive or negative influences.  However, in general it pulls you  into events that concern your personality and let you have some experience.  You may meet someone who tries to dominate you and who tries to interfere with what you are doing and it will make you uncomfortable. This may be contrary to your ego, but it will be necessary for changing your composition.  It is important to be aware of this and evaluate it at the right time.

You may have powerful results by becoming a whole with whatever you are dealing no matter what it is; it may be a person or a thing. There may be deep rooted changes both within yourself or in the outer realm. However, you may not be feeling these deeply.  As time goes on you will become aware of  them better.

During the last days of  the month there will be the Saturn-Mars square. It is a rather dangerous transit that gives exuberation, ambition, excitement, stubbornness. It may lead you to go into arguments and conflicts with others.  The hard influences of  this can be seen over the people of Capricorn, Aries and Cancer.

While we are going into the new year I wish that the conjuction of Venus and Moon in Scorpio may bring you strong bonds of love, deep feelings,  strong friendships, prosperity and blessed sharings and I wish you all a happy new year.

As a last comment I would like to remind you that Uranus-Jupiter togetherness in Pisces stil continues.

Hope to see you next year. May you remain well and safe and healthy.
