MARCIA SACKS

The New Moon is on Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 12:21 am CST in 9° Sagittarius, a fire sign lending warmth and enthusiasm to your new beginnings or ongoing projects.

Mars goes retrograde on December 6 in 6° Leo along with Neptune at 27° Pisces which goes direct on December 7th. These two stationary points so close together reverberate with Mars calling for action  and nebulous Neptune uncertain of direction. "Let's Go!" says Mars, and Neptune asks "Where are we going? The road ahead looks a little foggy". Is there a Google Maps with directions for our dreams and goals? It's called our intuition but your intuition will only work for you if you honor it and learn to trust it. At any rate, don't charge into action without some clear idea of your objective.

Mars rules automobiles so use caution driving around December 6th. It's especially bad for buying a car. With Neptune involved, there can be a lot of hidden issues. Remember that Mercury which rules transportation is also retrograde. If you can, wait a few days after Mercury goes direct on December 15 to make any final decisions.

When Mars and Neptune are active at the same time it can be positive for things related to the visual arts from painting to needle and fabric work. Creative writing, too. Anything in which your imagination (Neptune) connects to working with your hands (Mars).

The Full Moon is on Friday, November 15 at 3:28 pm CST in 24° Taurus. Taurus is concerned with the earthy things of life, our home, our work and all that represents our stability. With the Full Moon conjunct Uranus at 25° Taurus there is bound to be sudden unexpected changes of plan. Flexibility is the key, whether it's physical or mental.
​
Saturn, stationary on November 15, goes direct at 12° Pisces. Saturn often puts obstacles in the way of our plans or we may face resistance from others as we try to move forward.  While flexibility is the key with the Uranus aspect, patience is the way to get the best from Saturn.

It is interesting 'music' to  'dance' to these aspects. Saturn is the rhythm and Uranus is the jazz improvisation.
