Saturn December 31, 2008 - May 16, 2009

This month there will be a lot going on within your home environment, which isn't particularly unusual for the holiday season.  There will also be a lot of mental energy out there keeping your mind busy as well.  The month starts out on December 1st with a conjunction in Capricorn between Venus and Jupiter.  Both of these are usually benefic planets and they're all cozied up together in your 4th House of home environment, so this bodes well for something very favorable to occur in this area, though the one caution I have to throw in here is that if your birthday is right around October 15 this aspect will be squaring your Natal Sun, meaning it could also involve a financial crisis on some description.  This is just another example of how you can't ever entirely trust the planets because even if they're friendly if they're squared off with one of your personal planets, there's no telling how it could play out.  I sincerely hope this turns out well, but need to be entirely honest to preserve my credibility, if nothing else.

December 5 - 6 an unexpected situation on the job could disturb your peace of mind and also affect your homelife in some way.  Right around that same time, a confrontation with a neighbor is possible, or you may feel driven to take a short excursion somewhere.  If you're trying to get a new idea off the ground, there is a lot of mental energy free for the taking that you could direct in that manner as well.  On the 7th you can add some inspiration to that as well, so if you have a creative project going, make some time for it then.  This could also involve your children or love life in some way.  It's also a good day to simply relax and do something you enjoy, such as drive around looking at Christmas lights.

On the 8th an annoyance of some sort is likely to come up at home, possibly involving your children or a creative endeavor.  This may be no more than an unpleasant encounter putting up decorations, or Santa finding out that someone in your family has been naughty as opposed to nice.  Or maybe what you thought would work in a creative sense refuses to cooperate.  At any rate, frustrations are likely so try not to take things too seriously.  Members of the opposite sex, particular around the home, will be somewhat annoying as well, so it looks like a good time to lay low generally. 

Expect something unexpected to come up at work on the 10th, and make sure you guard your health at this time as well.  If one of your coworkers has a cold give him or her a wide berth.  If you're trying to get something creative accomplished, irritations will prevail there as well.  Make sure it's not your ego getting in the way, however, trying to force an idea on someone that they're simply not interested in.  The Full Moon on the 12th comes along with a Mutable Grand Cross, which is likely to stir a few things up of a varied nature.  A Full Moon usually means a culmination, so this one, whatever it is, is likely to go out with a bang.  This looks like it will affect your belief system in some way, perhaps by forcing a few new ideas upon you that you don't find especially enchanting.  Disruptions at work are probably involved as well.  If things have been unstable on the job for quite a while now, that is because Uranus is transiting your 6th House of work.  I'm sure that doesn't make it much easier, but it's always nice to know what's behind it.

If you've been trying to hunt down any information that simply hasn't been there, on the 12th this should break loose.  Anything that's been hidden could come out at this time.  This is in your 4th House of home environment, so this could, unfortunately, relate to a repair of some sort such as plumbing or electrical, or something involving a family member.  Pluto in your 4th House is a good time to buy a home warranty, if you don't already have one.  Trust me on that one.  On the 13th your creativity will be running hot again, so put it to good use.  It's also an excellent time to enjoy the season, go see a movie, or indulge in some other form of entertainment.  On the 15th you may be forced to confront a conflict between an idea and your spiritual values or perhaps discover that something you wanted to pursue to fulfill your dreams simply isn't going to work out as you'd hoped.  Look at this as one of those "back to the drawing board" moments as opposed to allowing yourself to become too discouraged by any setbacks.  More information pertaining to this should come along on the 16th when you may come up with several more creative ideas, though again you need to make sure they're feasible before allowing yourself to become too excited.  More than likely your family members will help you with any needed sanity checks, like it or not.

Trying to move forward with just about anything that has to do with your home life, children, or a romantic interest will have difficulties on the 21st when unexpected expenses or some other nuisance due to something you didn't consider comes to light.  On the 22nd even more information will be coming your way regarding something you didn't previously know about your home or someone in it with a power struggle or trip on the part of a family member a good bet.  Annoying information or people will continue to thrown themselves in your way on the 23rd as well.  More irritations at home, work, and with your kids will be messing with your Christmas Eve, though this could very well simply be problems assembling toys, putting that family party together, or even getting to one somewhere else, perhaps due to car trouble or some other glitch. 

Thank heaven for small favors, the planets are quiet on Christmas Day. On the 26th some inspiration will be coming your way of a spiritual nature that will help you deal with whatever chaos is prevailing at home.  In other words, you're likely to see past all the hassles and realize that things really aren't as bad as you thought.  You may find a way to put more structure in place or take responsibility for a situation that simply needed a firmer hand.  Just make sure you don't go off too far into Fantasyland, however, or tend toward too much idealism with your expectations.  On the 27th you may also find yourself in a Catch-22 when others involved in this decision aren't nearly as supportive as you had counted on.  Throw lots of love and inspiration at them, however, and you'll find a way out.  The New Moon on that day will help out with bringing something new into your home environment.

On the 28th be especially careful around the home as accidents are more likely than usual.  Whatever you're doing, pay attention and if it's the slightest bit dangerous, put it off for a few days.  Power struggles between people and/or arguments are also likely along with unexpected breakdowns or repairs.  Also watch out for candles, fireplaces, hot cooking surfaces, and the whole gamut of household hazards.

New Years Eve will bring lot of ideas pertaining to your household and the people in it.  This is when all this mental activity this month will finally come together.  As the planets have played a game of leapfrog this month it has created lots of glitches and disturbances, but things will start to settle down a bit as they settle into a new rhythm.
