It’s been an interesting end of the year to say the least and the fireworks haven’t even begun yet. This week we have a Full Moon in Gemini opposite Mars, forming a Grand Mutable Cross with Saturn and Uranus. While Mercury conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn squaring the Aries Point. Change is here now and the news this week is likely to be reflective of this.

Its Sunday evening now and Venus has just entered Aquarius where she will stay until soon after the new year. We can expect love to get a bit strange or just plain weird, the trick would be to be play it cool and willing to explore your quirks and eccentric side; it could be the key to bringing back the spark in a relationship. In Aquarius, there may be a tendency to be emotionally detached or want to experience more freedom. But Aquarius is the sign of the collective consciousness and it is possible now for us to allow love a little breathing room where it can grow. We are each utterly unique in our gifts, talents, personalities and even how we love, we need to find a balance where each person in a relationship can feel free to express themselves without fear of being judged. Look for unusual solutions to problems, it’s time to think out of the box and get creative. This transit lends its well to ingenuity and creativity — in love, money, art. A radical, seemingly crazy idea may just be your key to success.

Later in the month she will make conjunctions to the North Node, Chiron and Neptune, while other alignments culminate as well. We are entering a powerful time in our relationships and likely to be learning a few bitter-sweet lessons. But we are making soul connections that have the ability to raise us to a higher level of awareness and relating. Aquarius is the sign of collective consciousness; if we can practice acceptance and learn to love each other as we are, we can experience true oneness.

Tomorrow [on Monday,] the Sun sextiles Chiron and over the weekend the Sun (and Mars) made conjunctions to the Great Attractor. Hopefully we’ve been able to make peace with the inherent polarities within ourselves and indeed life. Darkness is nothing but the absence of light. If we want to banish darkness, we need to bring positivity into a situation instead of fighting with shadows. Today’s aspect can be rather healing and any effort made to expand our understanding of a higher purpose behind life will be rewarded with fiery inspiration.

p.s.

On a personal note, today is also my mothers birthday, who has her Sun conjunct my Neptune. She was also born at the time of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Libra, that took place in the early 50’s, which is natally in her fifth house of creativity. She has been working hard on the most phenomenal one of a kind pieces of hand carved and painted woodcraft, I have ever seen. She will be having an exhibition of her work in Mumbai at the Nehru Arts Gallery, early February which I plan to attend. I will have more details and images up on the site soon.

Interestingly her Saturn-Neptune conjunction is exactly conjunct my North Node. To me it feels like she makes everything she touches just a little more beautiful and I hope someday I can be a little more like her. ‘Happy Birthday Mamma! I am so proud of you and I love you!’
