The Stars This Week: "Weigh Your Options" - December 1 - December 7, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Weigh Your Options

12/01/08 - 12/07/08

As the Sun, Mercury and Mars travel though Sagittarius this month, they will form squares to the transiting Saturn-Uranus opposition that was exact last month. Mercury, the planet of communication, steps forward squaring Uranus on December 4 and Saturn on December 8 when you should weigh your words carefully before speaking. The Sun and Mars conjunct on December 5, providing plenty of energy, and Venus enters can't-we-all-be-friends Aquarius on December 7, rounding out the week with a humanitarian vibe.

December 4: Mercury square Uranus; December 6: Mercury square Saturn

Saturn is concerned with the rules, while Uranus loves to break them! Your mind will be buzzing when Uranus connects with Mercury and may have more thoughts than you know what to do with! Why don't you write them down in a notebook so you don't forget them. Then Mercury traveling through outspoken Sagittarius receives a challenge from Saturn, and you'll need to defend your point of view. Do your homework and you'll be fine!

December 5: Sun conjunct Mars

When these two come together, the sheer energy of the duo can become explosive or unbelievably productive, and it will be up to you to decide where you want to direct this dynamic energy. Because both are in belief-driven Sagittarius, you're likely to become involved in situations where you need to defend or advocate your point of view. The trick is to be strong and confident and avoid ego battles. Find out where this conjunction takes place in your chart so you can take full advantage.

December 7: Venus enters Aquarius

The relationship planet in such a friendship-oriented sign brings out your social side, and you'll naturally want to mingle with like-minded people. If you are single, this is a fabulous transit to meet someone through shared interest activities or through a friend. Married or in a committed relationship and looking for couple-friends? Perfect! Use the energy of this transit to attend events that promote causes that are important to you. Chances are you will make life-long friends!
