MOON ENTERS VIRGO at 12:52pm EST on Sunday December 18 after being Void of Course from 11:55am. It remains in Virgo until 8:56pm on Tuesday December 20. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Sun in Sagittarius. Mercury-ruled Virgo, the Mutable Earth sign which represents the mental drive for order and perfection is at its best when
integrating the separate details which it has ably discerned. This allows us to analyze and evaluate any particular situation intelligently. Given this Last Aspect, though, its very likely that our attention on the smaller picture activates Virgo's picky, critical, narrow-framed attitude which may obstruct the equally valuable broader picture - more abstract thoughts and generalized principles of Truth. Specific data is necessary to negotiate life but we also need perspective and context with which to consider these pieces of information. Actions initiated now will tend to have CHALLENGING
results. Be careful during this Moon period that you don't get lost in the minutia; then we are likely to criticize ourselves and others for not
getting it right. Look up and out into the future - remember your goal, the spirit of your adventure. Let the details inform you but not paralyze you. A Great use of this Virgo Moon would be to take some alone time to clean the house and clear out what you no longer need. Organize what remains. Watch your thoughts, both big and small and put them into order as well! Keep a journal or write in some conventional literary form. You'll be amazed at what comes through!
MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE at 5:55am EST on Monday December 19 at 15 Capricorn until 4:43am EST January 8, 2017. For these three to four weeks, while practical actions often don't go as planned - they're delayed, mis-communicated, misunderstood - mechanical breakdowns occur more often than usual...and the like, there may be other very exciting opportunities available to us. The Retrograde is a kind of going-back-over actions taken in the past that didn't go according to plan; this period is often when we can discover how to do them over and get them 'right'. It also seems to be a space where the 'irrational' quality of life opens up to us. Our imaginations soar and new realities become apparent. It can be an enormously creative time. I look forward to my dreams which become more vibrant and symbolically enlightening. Surprising ideas often pop into my head, connect with other ideas and new concepts are born. I keep a journal on my night stand so I can wake up and easily record what I experience as stream-of-conscious thoughts that race through me. It is that numinous in-between place where light shines and new perpectives are formed. Take advantage of this time and let go of the small frustrations of the material logical world. It's not the time for that reality now.
SCENE FOR THE DAY: Barry, 2016; Director: Vikram Gandhi. This small but informative Netflix film addresses the period of time when Obama transfers to Columbia University and struggles to fit in to the harsh New York urban culture. More pertinently, he struggles to synthesize his disparate selves into a integrated identity - the Virgo purpose. Lead actor, newcomer Devon Terrell, captures Obama's speech, demeanor
and physicality so powerfully I was completely pulled in.
