Reflection: Mars in Pisces, Mercury Retrograde
This morning sees two events of interest happening almost simultaneously. First, at 4:23 am EST (09:22:54 UTC), Mars enters Pisces. Then, 93 minutes later, Mercury stations retrograde in mid-Capricorn. Mercury will be retrograde until Jan. 8.

These are two seemingly separate events related by this unusual synchronicity. What they have in common is the theme of honesty.

Mercury changing directions can bring a revelation or discovery. This often happens amidst some confusion, and it can bring a moment of clarity. This process will likely continue through the retrograde, as Mercury enters Sagittarius on Jan. 4, and then stations direct a few days later. With Mercury retrograde, it’s helpful to take it slow, or at least to pace yourself. Focus on getting the facts right, here in our world that’s being variously described as “post-factual” and “post-truth.”

A Note From Your Astrologer

Dear Planet Waves Reader:

How are you doing there?

I know we’re all feeling the pressure and the stress of uncertainty. What you’re feeling is not coming from the news alone. The same cosmic forces, or perhaps timing factors, are acting on everyone and everything. This is not an easy time to keep your head together.

iMac selfie from today in my creative shop, Blue Studio.

It is, however, a deeply important time to keep your heart open and live from your soul.

I’m feeling the pressure in my own way, as someone who not only writes about politics but who translates and clarifies the news, with the assignment of taking it above the level of despair. Because I work for you, I don’t have the luxury of denial.

Just about everyone has reached the saturation point with politics, especially in its current wholly toxic state. The feeling of being violently pulled from your inner reality has been agonizing. The confrontation with shadow has been extremely challenging. Admitting that, we’re all sitting here watching the world, wondering what’s going to happen. And we all have lives to lead: things we want to do, growth to attend to, people to take care of.

The world may be going insane, though you don’t have to.

It’s taken me a while to work through the pain of the election process and what it means. Gradually I’ve gathered my energy, done some deep healing and focused my mind on your 2017 reading, called The Book of Your Life.

As I go deeper into the astrology, it’s truly been a relief to focus on personal matters, filtering out the madness of the world. The transits we’re experiencing are rich. On one level, we’re being pelted with total chaos in the form of Uranus conjunct Eris. We are learning how to breathe and find ourselves at the bottom of the digital ocean.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 19
(The Day of the Hellraisers) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
What is home to you? With Pisces as your 4th house, it’s easy to see why Sagittarius has a reputation for wide travel. Yet just at present you may be hearing the call of a certain place, person or situation. If you explore that feeling as you might an adventure, you may be surprised by the outcome. Here’s the thing: if you ever feel stifled anywhere, you can always move on.

Written in the Planets
There are a good few memes and videos out there, capturing the (admittedly widespread) sentiment that this has been a year we’d rather forget. Yet as Mercury stations retrograde today, giving us all time to reflect anew on the past 12 months, you could find some hidden gems. Treat the exercise with an open mind, and be active in recalling your achievements: surviving through difficulties definitely counts. Chances are you’ll be glad you looked again.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 18
(The Day of Mammoth Projects) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It’s important to cultivate your aspirations — and this doesn’t mean simply fantasize or daydream, but make actual plans about how to get there. Also, check in every now and then to see where you’re at. This gives you more control of the entire process. Don’t be afraid to understand the details.

Written in the Planets
The Sun makes conjunctions to Pholus and the Galactic Center today, just a gnat’s whisker apart. This may bring early hints of the revelations that so often accompany Mercury retrograde. A threshold has been passed: now you’ll start to see the results, and can consider what to do next. It could well be useful for all of us to see and hear some truths just now.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 17
(The Day of Earthy Chemistry) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
What are you trying to conceive? Or, alternately, what are you gestating? Whether it has to do with a solution or cure, an idea, a matter of faith or belief — or even something so large, you can’t quite articulate it fully — remember that over-analyzing it probably won’t help. A little analysis or planning is a great start. But think of that as the catalyst. Once you get the process started, try imagining yourself more as midwife than as critic.

Written in the Planets
“You can’t always get what you want…” If that Rolling Stones classic comes to mind today, be sure you remember how the rest of the lyric goes. It’s easy to confuse ‘getting what you want’ with ‘getting your needs met’ — the latter ultimately being the more important in the long run. Sometimes expressing a desire does not get it fulfilled, but rather facilitates some other appropriate action or result. Asteroid Juno conjunct the Great Attractor in Sagittarius today suggests that articulating your emotional needs is a necessary part of moving toward meeting them, even if doing so might polarize those around you. Asteroid Child in Pisces is square Juno and the Great Attractor. Although your inner child might be pushing the matter, see if you can convey those feelings like the adult that you are.

“I could no more write a romance than an epic poem. I could not sit seriously down to write a serious romance under any other motive than to save my life; and if it were indispensable for me to keep it up and never relax into laughing at myself or other people, I am sure I should be hung before I had finished the first chapter.”

If Your Birthday is Dec. 16
(The Day of Soaring Imagination) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It’s rare for a masterpiece to appear overnight. To write a good novel, for example, generally requires extensive planning, research and editing. Don’t worry, therefore, if you don’t receive the finished copy in one big eureka moment. Your idea is like a newborn foal. Feed and nurture it properly over time, and it will surely grow into a strong, fleet runner.

Written in the Planets
Today Altjira, named after an Aboriginal creator deity, is aspected by both Venus and Eros. This is an opportunity to let your fantasies loose, and to explore the infinite realms of imaginative possibility. What will you find? If among your thoughts you notice something familiar — perhaps a desire that’s been hidden but has never truly disappeared — you may like to examine that further. You may even decide to take the next step of discussing it with someone you trust. Good for you.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 15
(The Day of Expansion) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Sometimes, when you’ve had a bit too much coffee, it’s necessary to go for a fast walk to burn off your excess vigor. As the universe seems about to give you a triple shot of espresso, it could well be worth making plans for the energy boost that will almost certainly follow. Where you direct it is entirely up to you.

Written in the Planets
There is palpable tension in the air, the same kind that accumulates before the breaking of a storm. If you’re at all feeling this, I suggest you take some deep breaths and waft yourself gently into a more centered state. Do something pleasant that you know you’ll enjoy. Once the metaphorical skies are a little clearer, you’ll likely find that you are able to consider a certain matter with a fresh perspective. In the meantime, even small gestures directed toward serving the higher good could develop surprisingly helpful results.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 14
(The Day of the Selective Exhibitionist) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
There’s nothing like some good planning to direct an expansive impulse, and to keep the metaphorical engine running in a controlled, even-paced way. That said, you’ll still need to listen to the riddles posed by your emotions. You might be tempted to think emotions ‘aren’t part of the plan’. But if they’re causing you to question whose plan you’re actually running in the first place (or why), that’s a mystery you’ll want to solve. If the answer results in redirecting your efforts, chances are it’s for the best.

Written in the Planets
When the Moon enters Cancer today, see if you don’t notice a clear urge to nest begin to emerge. Should you need to catch up on some holiday preparations or non-holiday domestic tasks, a Cancer Moon could help. As an extra bonus, spiffing up your nest — or the emotional equivalent: a little self-care or caring gestures toward loved ones — is excellent preparation for another aspect today. With Neptune conjunct the asteroid Eros in Pisces, imaginative sexual expression or exploration (or even art-making) could be on the agenda. The more emotionally connected you are — solo or otherwise — and the more boundless your fantasies, the better.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 13
(The Day of Exacting Craft) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today may shine a bright light on something below the surface. Whether that light comes from another person or from your own unconscious, take a good look. You are aligned today with some deeply spiritual or sacred facet of yourself, something untouched and protected (in a good way). You don’t need to scatter your energy by over-thinking it. Have faith that even if you feel under pressure right now, your connection to this part of yourself will keep your aim true.

Written in the Planets
The Gemini Full Moon might bring to light many things overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Among them, consider how well you’re balancing between the information you’re receiving and its purpose or value. Here in the internet age, it’s easy to get so distracted with information that it begins to lose meaning — which can feel depressing. At the same time, people often stand by their sense of ‘truth’ (spiritual or otherwise) in a way that can foster arrogance and fundamentalism. Both situations point to the Gemini-Sagittarius relationship out of balance. With this Full Moon, you have an opportunity: if you come face to face with one of those extremes, ask yourself how you can synthesize a strong guiding vision with new pieces of the puzzle as they emerge. This is something you can practice on a daily basis to stay mentally agile and spiritually centered.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 12
(The Day of Body Language) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Look inward far enough, and you’ll see the roots of your ancestral heritage supporting you. Deeper still are the more primal energies present in the makeup of life itself. This year, it seems, you’ll probably find yourself able to draw on both to strengthen and heal. In other words, prepare to be powerful.

Written in the Planets
There’s something within each of us that might be described as psychic titanium. It’s where we draw from during the rare moments when we feel we have no other resource. If you should feel agitated or perturbed in the coming days, remember that unbreakable part of you, and let its presence give you peace. Then again, you may be feeling energized or like your powers of perception are heightened. If so, that energy could lead you on a welcome adventure. What curious new thing do you feel like learning about? Today the Sun makes a few intriguing aspects as it approaches Tuesday’s Full Moon. Translation: you have options when it comes to self-awareness and self-expression.
