Retrograde Planets

Saturn December 31, 2008 - May 16, 2009

This month will see a lot of activity within your home environment then shifting to your 5th House of children, romance, creativity, and entertainment as the month progresses.  There is a veritable planetary parade out there right now with the planets shaking hands, playing leapfrog, and interacting in a variety of interesting ways.  Career issues will culminate in some fashion with the Full Moon along with interesting happenings at home and in your relationships as well while the New Moon should usher in something new relative to your 5th House, which involves your kids, lovers and creative juices, as noted earlier. 

December 1st will bring a very favorable conjunction between Jupiter and Venus in your 5th House as well, so watch for something good to come along in this area to start things off and prime the pump for that New Moon on the 27th.  From December 5 - 6, your Sign Ruler, Mercury, will form a T-Square with Saturn and Uranus, which will represent an unexpected crisis of sorts with one or more of your relationships, probably over some news or information.  Your home environment will be affected as well, not only because Mercury is there, but because about that same time the Sun and Mars will form a conjunction in that same neighborhood, throwing a whole bunch of energy in that direction.  This energy could be a threat of some sort, but hopefully you'll be able to put it to work for you to set off in a new direction.

On December 7 you could be inspired to start a new project around the house, or you might also get some ideas about something to pursue on the job.  If you've had any health issues, this is also a favorable time to find out more about that.  This answer could originate at home, either through a person, book or possibly the internet, though you need to be discerning and not believe everything you may come across at this time.  On the 8th expect to have some deep insights into either some health or job issues that represent a nuisance or annoyance of some sort.  About this same time something will come along that has a big affect on your home life and relates back to either your creative endeavors, children, ego, or romantic interests in some way.  Getting along with members of the opposite sex will be tense on the 9th while more issues at home with the kids or those other 5th House elements will arise.

Between December 10 - 12, expect several surprises and unexpected events, particularly on the 12th with the Full Moon, which carries with it an aspect pattern known as a Mutable Grand Cross.  This includes at least four squares and two oppositions which are generally less than friendly.  We all know that the Full Moon can stir up a bunch of trouble and this one looks like it's gunning for bear.  Home, career, and relationships all look to be the targets for this one, with each at cross-purposes with the other.  During this same timeframe, Mercury will be in conjunction with Pluto, which is going to bring out some hidden information that has the potential to have a transformational effect on you, more than likely in that 5th House domain involving kids, lovers, and so forth. 

On the 13th some inspiration could come your way that involves home and work, though you need to make sure that the information is accurate.  Perhaps it will actually be a matter of finding out the truth about something that you'd not known previously.  On the 15th, Mars will square Saturn, which looks like a conflict coming your way at home that pertains to your responsibilities or obligations in some way.  If you're trying to get a creative project off the ground, either at home or work, or plan to do something special for your kids or romantic interest, your ambitions may be thwarted by inaccurate information, so make sure you pay close attention and have all your ducks in a row to avoid unnecessary frustrations.  If money is involved, you may find out that whatever you have planned is going to cost more than expected or perhaps that you don't have as much money as you'd hoped.  If you've been shooting just a little too high, something will bring that to your attention around the 17th.  If you've been over-confident in any way, it might just be your ego that gets an adjustment.

Money issues pertaining to work could necessitate some changes with those plans you've had in work of either a creative nature or involving your kids or lovers.  It could also put the brakes on any speculations or entertainment you'd been hoping for.  You'll be seeing these things in a new way that will transform your thinking in some way.  If you haven't figured it out by the 22nd, that Sun - Pluto conjunction ought to take care of that, once and for all, as anything you've been sweeping under the rug or ignoring in that 5th House venue, the elements of which you should have down by now, the Universe is likely to shove it in your face in no uncertain terms.  The 5th House isn't one of those nice, tidy houses that you can describe in a word or two and pretty well have it down, such as the 4th which comprises your home environment.  The 5th is how you express, see, and/or present yourself to the world.  It includes you ego as well as your creative expression.  These, in turn, are reflected in the entertainment we choose, chances we take, whom we choose as romantic partners, and also our children, who are the ultimate expression of our creativity.  Thus, this House isn't as easy to nail down in forecasts as some.  Thus, you get a real chance to practice your own creativity in figuring out how this will all play out for you.  More conflicts between home and this area, however it works out for you, will be coming along on the 23rd as well.

Christmas Eve should be full of surprises that once again involve all that 5th House business as well as your relationships.  Hopefully they'll be good ones, but could contain an annoyance or two as well.  For example, you might be trying to put together a very special evening and something comes along to mess it up.  The planets are taking a rest on Christmas Day, but will resume their antics on the 26th when your creative expression may come face to face with your sense of responsibility.  This should be a positive encounter, however, so expect to gather some new information that will make your life easier in some way. 

The 27th brings us a New Moon, which is in your now-infamous 5th House, indicating something new is coming along in this area.  You may encounter a Catch-22 situation between work and what you'd prefer to do, however, though there is also some potential for some very good things to come your way in this area.  You may have to choose between two options, however, that are mutually exclusive and make sure that you're seeing things as they really are, not simply as you'd like them to be.  December 28 brings another conjunction, this time between Mars and Pluto, which will deliver a whole lot of punch once more to that 5th House.  Both of these planets are brimming with energy and power, so expect a veritable explosion of some sort in this area.  If you're trying to put together a creative project, it should get a jump start, and if there's anything in that area that needs to come out and be rejuvenated, that has the potential to happen as well.  At any rate, something is bound to occur in this part of your life that should be pretty hard to miss.

New Years Eve should bring another influx of big ideas.  There couldn't be a better way to finish off the year than with a host of new ideas for the new one.  If you haven't already put together your goals for 2009, you should have plenty of things to work with at this time, perhaps even too many.  Write them all down for future reference, however, and then pick and choose in the coming months which ones make the most sense.

There will be a lot going on this month that will keep you hopping from Day One.  There are people, home, work, and relationship issues all over the place along with lunations that bring more energy to these same areas.  Try not to deal with everything at once and by all means put all that Virgo perfectionism on the shelf as it will drive you and everyone else crazy if you try to apply it to this busy month.  Take plenty of time to relax and ponder the events transpiring in your life, then put it all together in your plan for next year.
