Saturn December 31, 2008 - May 16, 2009

This month you can expect numerous things to come about in your relationships and other areas of your life that have a lasting effect on you in one way or another as a planetary parade tromps through your 7th and 8th Houses. In addition, on December 12 the Full Moon occurs in Gemini, which will have even more punch for those born on June 12, give or take a day or two, since it will occur right on top of your Natal Sun.

The month starts out with a very nice conjunction between two benefic planets, i.e. Venus and Jupiter, who are currently hanging out in your 8th House of transformations, shared resources, sex, and death. This House also includes such things as inheritances, so who knows? However, whatever it might be and regardless of how good it appears, it could create a Catch-22 situation of some sort, so whatever it might be take a close look before you do too much celebrating. Between December 5 - 6 some news relative to a relationship will create a dilemma between home and your career or reputation. Remember that relationships in an astrological context include all one-on-one interactions such as close friends and relatives in addition to significant others. If you're in business for yourself, it includes cliental as well. There's a lot of energy and drive going on in your relationships at this time, but you need to make sure that you don't come on too strong or appear too aggressive, unless you're absolutely certain that it's the right approach to take for the given situation.

On the 7th your Sign Ruler, Mercury, will sextile Neptune, which implies an opportunity could come your way through one of your close associates. This will pertain to something in your 9th House of legal matters, academia, long distance travel, relocation or even your core beliefs. Neptune is not to be trusted, however, so make sure it's real before taking any major steps in that direction. On the 8th you just might find out something someone forgot to mention or you may discover that their claims were grossly exaggerated, so keep an eye out. The 9th looks like a good one for romance, though there may be a bit of tension there as well. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Something unexpected or disruptive is lurking around on the 10th that has to do with your career or reputation that will cause a conflict in one of your relationships. Remember that you'll be inclined to be more aggressive than usual, so make a conscious effort to tone it down a bit so as not to exacerbate it further. If you have a contract pending, are going to school, are involved in litigation or planning a long trip or relocation, something unexpected will come up on the 12th that you're going to have to deal with. Note that this is also the day of the Full Moon in Gemini. This lunation comes toting a Mutable Grand Cross that will make it more intense than usual. This is going to reemphasize that home/career/relationship conundrum that started earlier in the month. The good news is that you're going to have a lot of discernment in this situation and learn a few things you didn't know before that will have a transformational effect on you in some way. This is how we grow and progress, so be sure to give it enough thought to absorb it into your psyche for future reference. A bit more inspiration will come your way on the 13th to help this along.

On the 15th responsibilities at home may once again creative a conflict of some sort in your relationships. This will have more influence on those born right around June 11 right along with that Full Moon. On the 16th you need to make sure that any thoughts or information that come your way are accurate before acting upon them. Also, expect some more interference from someone close to you over your beliefs or one or more of those 9th House issues noted earlier. There's a lot of growth coming your way this month such that you're going to be a slightly different person come the New Year.

December 21 -22 should bring more insights and understanding along with a hefty dose of discernment. You'll be inclined to delve much deeper into things than you usually do and superficial answers or subjects won't interest you at this time. If there's any research you need to do, now would be a good time to do so, even though the dates are hardly convenient if you're trying to get ready for the holidays. Your pursuit of expanding one or more relationships could encounter a nuisance on the 23rd, with Christmas Eve bringing a few surprises that could hail from your career endeavors. Your Sign Ruler, Mercury, is very active this month, and will be bringing you all sorts of information to process. On the 26th this should bring you some good news regarding your home environment and your responsibilities there. However, continue to be on the alert for delusions or in accurate information for the entire month. You'll have plenty of inspiration, but make sure it's feasible before throwing any money at it.

The New Moon on the 27th is in Capricorn, that infamous 8th House of sex, death, transformations and other people's money. This should usher in a new phase in this area of some sort, which certainly shouldn't be much of a surprise at this point. You're likely to encounter a Catch-22 situation around this time as well where something beneficial regarding that legal matter, trip, or higher education issue clashes with your home environment. Inspiration will be flowing, but again make sure you've got your feet planted on solid ground or you'll set yourself up for a major disappointment. On the 28th Mars and Pluto will be in conjunction in this same neighborhood. This is what power trips are made out of, so again, think about whether you ought to tone things down a bit. This bears a lot of energy, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it packs a giant wallop that needs to be directed in a positive and controlled manner so it doesn't blow up in your face, so to speak. Don't take any unnecessary chances at this time, drive carefully, and so forth. On New Years Eve another influx of data or information is coming your way. Be sure to take notes so you don't lose any of it as it's likely to be quite valuable.

This is going to be a very busy month with a lot of people issues coming at you from a variety of fronts. You're going to learn a lot about others as well as yourself during this time. You're entering a time when you'll change your view of the world and possibly intensify some of your relationships. You thrive on data and information, but make sure you realize that this is not always hard, cold facts. Some of the knowledge you'll gain this month will be of a more people-oriented kind that will serve you well as time goes on. It's going to be an interesting month.
