Astrology Report for the week of December 18-25, 2010.

Happy Holidays and Happy Eclipse Season. I will call this eclipse season “seek and you will find”.  Allow your efforts to reach out in various directions but maintain clear goals.    Astrologically this is a very important week of mounting tensions pushing toward their ends as we approach a total eclipse of the Moon on Tuesday December 21, 2010. The eclipse point occurs at 29° Gemini 20’ at 3:31 AM EST and will be visible in northern Europe, North and South America then across the Pacific Ocean to Japan and northeastern Asia.  The beginning of the eclipse occurs at 12:27 AM EST and ends at 6:01 AM EST.  The total duration lasts 37 minutes.  It will be the most exciting to view from 1:32 AM EST through 5:01 AM EST. The solstice occurs later on the same day at 6:39 PM. As found in Lunar Shadows III, this eclipse belongs to a 19-year Metonic cycle group which began on Jun 21, 1982 and produced the first lunar eclipse on December 21, 1991. There are five solar eclipses at zero Cancer – 29° Gemini ending in 2058. The lunar eclipses occur midway between the solar eclipses which is 9.5 years after a solar eclipse.  This very potent eclipse family group had showed its second appearance on June 21, 2001 which preceded the attacks on 9/11 and thus began the wars in Afghanistan October 7, 2001 then later in Iraq in 2003.  Here we are at the threshold at a very fitting end of the war in Afghanistan, recently announced for withdraw in July 2011. Most of the headlines show the importance of this period.  As for the astrology of this total eclipse, nearly every planet plus the three major asteroids and Chiron are activated in the chart. The zodiacal point of 29° is minutes away from zero degrees of Cancer. This is called the world axis, drawing our attention to major global events.  Even in our own little world the events surrounding this powerful eclipse possess life changing properties.  The point at zero Cancer produces family changes.  Those that have been separated from their family can find one another with this influence. Events will be major on all levels; family, relationships, business, government.  Look back nine months ago for events that set the stage to change your life.  There is a pivot in your direction at this time.  There is a Moon Family attached to this lunar eclipse that began with a new Moon on June 21, 2009.  This is when things were seeded to move into this powerful period.  A First Quarter Moon occurred on Mar 23, 2010 which was the next major step in this potent Moon Family.  Expect to reap the rewards for your efforts at the Last Quarter phase of this Moon family on September 20, 2011.  If you have a story within a week of these dates you may notice things moving very quickly.  You have entered an active phase of your growth and can find what and who you need to move forward.  Good Luck! A solar eclipse occurs on January 4, 2011 at 13° Capricorn 38’.    Order your copy of Lunar Shadows III during holiday discount

The Moon is traveling through the sign of Taurus until 10:37 PM.  According to William Lilly, an ancient astrologer, the Moon is never void of course in the sign of Taurus. For those with a need for a modern void Moon period it begins at 4:37 PM after a 60° aspect to Uranus and lasts until 10:37 PM.		Moon	135°	Pluto	3:44:31 AM	EST	19°Ta50	04°Cp50

You may find an important piece of information or a missing link to your needs after Mercury moves backward into Sagittarius at 9:53 AM. It continues to retrograde until Dec 30.  Consider dropping an idea and moving back to an older notion for greater success. Discussing issues of family members or locating lost loved ones is enhanced by this activation of this point being the place of the Sun’s position at the lunar eclipse.

There are several indicators of relationship issues beginning with a harsh 90° angle to Juno and a 456 half-square between Venus and Uranus. Be careful when spending today and look after your purse.		Venus 135° Uranus.  This should be great for retail business.			12:09:18 PM	EST	11°Sc44	26°Pi44
The Sun square Uranus is erratic and startling with a genius at the controls.  Solutions and inventions are bursting from the minds of many. Discoveries made during this time have a very broad application. Keep notes of your ideas as they lead to something important. Otherwise use caution on this day and over the next week. This aspect sets off a grand cross present at the lunar eclipse. The Sun continues to engage planets with a 45° angle to Venus at 8:04 PM.  An opportunity to heal and old wound is marked with a 60° aspect from the Sun to Chiron.

Saturday 9:26 PM the last aspect of the Taurus Moon is 150° to Mercury.  I call this “life’s messy, clean it up” This may have to do with a traffic event.  Something involving an important communication may emerge out of the blue.  Surprise or unplanned events.		Void of course	Taurus	Moon	9:26 PM
The Gemini Moon ends with the Lunar Eclipse. This is a major link to the end of matters.  All the cards are on the table and your goals become apparent. You can find what you are looking for. Presentations are important and take your ideas to a professional.  There could be breakage and break-ups as a clearing of the old and outworn is the order of this period. For others there are unions and partnerships that have innovative and long reaching intentions.  Some new relationships could				Moon enters Gemini	10:37:21 PM	EST	00°Ge00	00°Ge00

There are plenty of positive advantages with the Cancer Moon period as the final aspect is a 120° trine to Uranus.  However, wait until after 6:38 PM when the Sun enters Capricorn otherwise your plans are likely to be dropped due to a bigger event.		Moon	180°	Pallas	4:42:09 AM	EST	00°Cn11	00°Cp11

Mercury 90° Jupiter Excessive flexibility leads to lack of stability. This allows for the ability to expand and broaden your outlook through education and networking resources. Be mindful of misrepresentation of information.  There is a strong encouragement or push from siblings, children and co-workers. Information pumped with "media hype." Legal decisions are pressing. To make statements of independence and freedom and in personal relationships "a need for space."        Open positive discussions with partners. Plan for business and educational trips.  Terrific for marketing and outreach.					7:58:43 PM	EST	25°Sg20' R	25°Pi20
