Lunar Eclipse on 12/31/2009 2:13p EST. Eclipses often trigger the events that have been lining up in our lives waiting to
explode. This Lunar Eclipse has the Sun (You) in Capricorn and Moon (your emotions) in Cancer opposite each other with the
Earth in the middle. The opposition means a need to find a balance between the two forces rather than allowing one to dominate
or for them to see-saw. With Sun, Venus, Mercury and the ever present Pluto all in Capricorn it means not only will the Sun need
to seek balance with the Moon, but so will the rest of these planets. Add to it the significance that it's occurring at a major cycle
change too (New Year's Eve). In a nutshell? Perhaps we of the world are starting to realize that there really is no going back
and that we need to deal appropriately with the emotional aspects of that to be able to do the work (Growth and Development)
that Saturn in Libra is requesting. If the eclipse falls in a prominent place in your chart you will have a higher likelihood of it
manifesting, primarily Cardinal signs Capricorn, Libra, Cancer, and Aries. Watch for the matching Solar Eclipse on 01/15/2010
the day Mercury goes Direct! Doesn't that sound like a busy day? Is the Lunar Eclipse just a set-up for the coming Solar
Eclipse? Yes for some and no for others.

Venus has been pretty active recently and definitely bears mention. Venus entered Capricorn on Xmas day, 12/25/2009, will
conjunct (meet at the same point) with Pluto on Monday, 12/28/2009 and will square (make a 90 degree angle which represents
tension or irritation) to Saturn on Tuesday 12/29/2009. What all this means is that the Venus symbols (Relationships, your
sense of "peace", self-worth) will be undergoing not only the stress to change but the need to change. Do you feel like you know
what should be done but don't want to do it? Be careful, Pluto will make it happen and Saturn can make it so you don't like the
outcome. Use the power (Pluto) to your benefit and direct the energy to make the change you know is needed (Saturn).
Details: Venus enters Capricorn 12/25/2009 @ 1:17p EST; Venus conjunct Pluto 12/28/2009 @ 1:47a EST at 3CAP11; Venus
square Saturn 12/29/2009 @ 1:55a EST at 4LIB27.

Mercury goes Retrograde (Rx) on 12/26/2009. This is a time for self reflection and review. Think back to 12/09/2009. The
issues of the last few weeks will resurface again. Who were you fighting with then? Did you have Boss/Authority issues? How can
you improve? During this time frame it is not advisable to make any large purchases especially electronics. I know its the day
after XMAS sales time but Forewarned is Forearmed! Additionally, its not a great time to sign any documents or initiate any new
endeavours. However, life must go on so if you do have to purchase or sign make sure to review everything carefully and expect
that there might be set-backs, limitations, or delays so that you can be prepared to handle them appropriately if they occur.
Leave extra travel time! You should feel some relief around 01/04/2010 and Mercury goes direct on 01/15/2010. The sailing isn't
clear until 02/04/2010 when Mercury is out of the Shadow period which started 12/09/2009.
Details: Mercury Rx on 12/26/2009 @ 9:38a EST at 21CAP48 until 01/15/2010 @ 11:52a EST at 5CAP33. Click here for chart!

The Sun enters Capricorn on 12/21/2009 @ 12:47p EST. This is a time where new initiatives can be started but given the
current planetary positions it might be better to use this time to "plan" before you jump. And don't be surprised if you encounter
set-backs or the need to re-evaluate. Click here for chart!

Mars, the planet that symbolizes how your Sun expresses its self through its actions, went Stationary Retrograde (Rx) on
Sunday, 12/20/2009 @ 8:27a EST. With Mars in Leo you may have been feeling the need to act, but with Mars Rx you will feel
held back in some way. Retrograde is an analysis phase, it’s a time to analyze your actions and see where correction is needed.
Think back to mid-October, what can you do better? You have until March to work on it. An easier time for Fire signs Aries,
Sagittarius,Leo to integrate this energy and a more tense time for Fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius. Mars goes direct
again on 03/10/2010.
Details: Mars Rx on 12/20/2009 @8:27a EST at 19LEO42 until 03/10/2010 @ 12:09p EST at 0LEO18. Click here for chart!
