HEADS UP! Mercury retrograde coming soon...

We will enter the Mercury retrograde 'shadow' period at 21’45 degrees of Capricorn on December 26, 2008 - Mercury will return to this degree again and pass over this point February 1, 2009 as he stations direct and prepares to leave the storm on February 7th. Prepare to rethink, redraw, replan, renegotiate, etc something that happens over December 25th - 26th around then (January 31 - February 5)! This Mercury retrograde will stir up the most trouble for Aquarius, Leo, Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, Taurus, and Scorpio - particularly the degrees ranging from 21 - 30 (Cancer/Capricorn & Aries/Libra) and 1 -7 (Leo/Aquarius & Taurus/Scorpio). Check your natal charts to see where your Sun (or other planets, points, etc) lie in any of these signs to see how this Mercury retro will affect you (or let me do it for you! Online Consultations and Readings).

On January 7, Mercury enters its 'Storm' (this is when the planet moves less than 40 minutes of arc per day) so if you have a lot of things you need to get started, I advise you get it moving now...

Tonight...and the Wild Ride

Today/tonight there is a relatively 'rare' line-up with the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter in conjunction. If you have clear skies, take a peek. This line-up is the same as on the day I was born only this one is taking place in Capricorn rather than Scorpio, even the moon phase is the same - Crescent. Look up and find the Crescent moon, then close by you will see two bright objects - Venus and Jupiter. The occultation could be seen in Eastern Europe, I believe. The Moon has already moved on past (haven't bothered to look to see the exact time when, but it happened when it was daylight in the US) but is still in orb. Just checked and see that Venus has moved on too - Moon is at 27 Capricorn, Venus is at 23 Capricorn, and Jupiter is at 22 degrees...still in orb for those tiny ones being born tonight.

Picked up the new copy of Mountain Astrologer...I could not resist the title: The Wild Ride of 2009. Sounds like they are talking about my life!!! LOL

Love in the darkness,
