TRANSITS: Weekly Astrology Report by Dietrech Pessin with Green Light Days

Green Light Days are all very risky this week meaning there is too many conflicts and challenges to allow good intentions to move forward without trouble. However knowing that we must at times conduct business or make personal decisions during unfavorable times I have chosen but the best times of these risky picks are as follows:

Saturday December 28 but the conditions improve after the Moon passes the conjunction with Saturn at 7:58 PM Saturday night. In the best of situations this is highly compromised by harsh conditions set by the rules or the demands of others. Money matters are very difficult as Venus is retrograde. And moving forward with a plan without a seasoned professional is not advisable. The waters of Scorpio are treacherous in easier times but now with Saturn there and Venus retrograde there is not much hope for success. However at times when our backs are up against the wall we must do things. The best time is from 7:58 PM Saturday night until 8:54 AM Sunday morning.

Tuesday December 31, 2013 there is a small window to use to your advantage after a nasty Mercury square Mars at 9:59 AM and the Moon sign change to Capricorn at 1:01 PM.
Brief Green Light Tuesday December 31, after Mercury is square Mars at 9:59 AM. If you wait a half hour you may be able to conduct until 1:01 PM.

Wednesday January 1, 2014 after 1:57 PM through Thursday January 2 at 7:59 AM.
You are still in the dark of the Moon period from the New Moon early on New Year’s Day but if you are methodical and completely responsible you may have some success forwarding your goals with no expectation of a speedy return. Slow steady progress it the best way to proceed.

A Green Light period in the near future begins after 4:11 PM Sunday January 5 until Monday at 2:45 PM. You may land in a different place than you expect but there are rewards to be gained by keeping an open heart and mind.

A New Moon occurs on New Year’s Day at 6:14 AM at 10º Capricorn 57’. The Dark Moon phase begins December 31, 2013 around 4:55 AM and we will continue in the dark until 7:00 AM Thursday morning. Wait for more to be revealed before initiating new endeavors. The best time to do so in the near future is not until Sunday January 5 after 4:11 PM during the Pisces Moon and through until 2:45 PM Monday January 6.

Ongoing Dominating Aspects:
" Uranus square Pluto, last November 1, 2013 at 9Aries 9 Capricorn; next April 21, 2014; December 14, 2014 and finally March 16, 2015
" Saturn in Scorpio Retrograde March 2, 2014 at 23º Scorpio 19' until July 20, 2014 at 16º Scorpio 38'.
" Jupiter Retrograde 20º Cancer 30' November 7, 2013 until Direct Station on March 6, 2014 at 10º Cancer 26'.
" Neptune Direct November 13, 2013 at 2º Pisces 34'.
" Mercury Retrograde October 21 turning Direct November 10, 2013 at 4:12 PM.
" Mercury Retrograde February 6, 2014 at 3º Pisces 20' until February 28, 2014 at 18º Aquarius 09'.
" Venus Retrograde December 21, 2013 at 28º Capricorn 58' until January 31, 2014 at 13º Capricorn 33'.


Report Period: Dec 28 2013 to Jan 4 2014, Time Zone EST +5:00

Saturday December 28, 2013.
The weekend begins with the Moon sign in Scorpio until 12:37 PM Sunday. The Scorpio Moon reaches Saturn at 7:58 PM and is exceptional because this conjunction is a mini eclipse of the Moon and Saturn called an occultation. This is visible on Antarctica only. This accentuates the story of a blizzard on Antarctica that which stranded 70 passengers on a Russian cruise ship being pursued for rescue by a Chinese icebreaker “Snow Dragon”. This is so apropos for the occultation. We wish them a speedy return to safety.
After the time of this cosmic event you may advance with carefully selected projects but understand that you may be entering treacherous territory. Scorpio Moon’s are not meant for light weights.

Dec 29 2013

12 37 PM MOON ENTERING SAGITTARIUS until 1:01 PM Tuesday December 31.
Dec 29 2013
A Sagittarius Moon often brings a desire to run free, far from responsibility. Discussions can get quite philosophical and or political. Cultural events such as concerts, plays are the order of the day. People and letters from foreign places may arrive. News, or progress, related to advertising and publishing is likely. Religion issues may be in the news. Attitudes are more optimistic. The "flow" is more likely to be in your favor. Directions and directives often change midstream, possibly because there is a "shiny, new horizon" which is brighter than the last. There grass is always greener on the other side. Wanderlust could distract your attention. Weed the garden or deal with bugs. It's time to play. Set up the hammock or go hiking. If you are a Sagittarius, matters tend to go your way.

3:34 PM MERCURY SQUARE URANUS
Exact Dec 29 2013

Erratic flow of conversation. Ingenious ideas border or radical engineering and complexity. Drastic revisions of documents. Wild ideas. Friends may disappoint. Missed travel connections and appointments.
For personal use: You may want to record your unique brainstorms.
For business use: Avoid contamination to computer systems by downloading data. Do not contract with anyone under this aspect.

____________________________________________________________
12:05 AM SUN SQUARE URANUS
Exact Dec 30 2013
Brief Description: Sudden and abrupt changes throughout the day. Your own actions and those of others (each end of the pendulum) may be unpredictable. Sudden changes of heart and interesting solutions may present themselves, although they may still need further investigation and processing. Computer equipment or those who work with them may be quirky. Interesting twists. This aspect is accident-prone.
For personal use: Think of innovative ways to get what you need or want. The truth may need to be expressed; just be tactful. You may experience erratic bursts of insight and energy.
For business: Be open to unusual possibilities. There may be something of a surprise to deal with.

6:36 AM Sagittarius Moon sextile Mars in Libra as final aspect.

8:21 PM MARS in Libra SQUARE PLUTO in Capricorn.
Exact Dec 30 2013 repeats April 23, 2014; June 14, 2014.

Brief description: I call this "the steamroller aspect". Steamrollers when used for the purpose intended are powerfully effective for flattening the surface to create a flat hard top for a new road. On a symbolic level it may indicate that those in a position of power may mow others down with greed and a severe competitive drive at the root of the intention.
On a positive note, the objective is to accomplish a mission at all cost and pull out all stops. Therefore for those planning to take charge of life and redesign a new path, may succeed in erasing all existing remnants of the past or current setting to assure a new future.
This combination allows for very serious strategic planning and allow one to cut a new design. Impatience shortchanges strategic plans that may affect failure.
Speeders may be stopped by police before or after they have caused accidents. Over drawn bank accounts. Obsessive behaviors. Pornography.

The physiological indications are for a necessary surgery to save lives; types of bowl disorders. Cuts and blows to the head and body.
Psychological indications may include a fear of being "raked over hot coals"; obsessive drives and behaviors; some may experience a bout of paranoia with difficulty discriminating between reality and tricks of the mind.
This may be true for those in positions of power who feel threatened by both insiders and outsiders.
Deep nervous tension that is hard to sort through.
Good day to process anger in your therapist's office or another he. There are strong sexual urges with this combination. There is a strong drive for dramatic core change whether these changes are imposed by you or others is up to you.

For personal use: Get serious about your future. Avoid allowing strong sexual urges to interfere with your primary objective. This is a time for personal transformation. Access your own power and reflect on help from those in positions of power but do not approach them unless you are the one in a powerful seat. Break out of the grip of the monkey on your back.

For business use: Things to avoid are annoying symbols of greed and misuse of others finances. Proceed only if you are well prepared. Dig deep and plan to cut new fabric.

Powerful drives. The urge for dominance and territory. Obsessions. Extreme efforts. Sexual responses. The desire to mate. Efforts at personal transformation. Medical procedures. Strategic thinking -- plans for control.

Intricate plans with new or alternative routes. Sexual talks. Psychological issues. Exposure of hidden or remote characters. An awareness of obsessive thinking. Obsessive thinking used in a positive way. Paperwork or details related to estates. The return or Information regarding lost or sick animals.

Brief description: Impulsive reactions. Thing moving too quickly. Reports of communication and mechanical problems and irritations. Arguments and conflicts. Animals may bite because of an illness or some other urgent need. Difficulty understanding the action of those who are in emotional or physical pain. Cranky children, Angry statements. People arguing about their right to choose; they are feeling misunderstood. Speeding travelers cause problems. Problems during travel.
For Personal use: Use this to focus and outline grievances but choose a better time to present your case. If you need to respond to inquiries, stay cool headed. Others are likely to lose their heads.
For Business: Do not sign anything until after the Moon changes signs Dec 31 at 1:01 PM and for best results wait for the Sun to catch up to Pluto at 1:56 PM Jan 1st. Agreements can be subject to future conflict. Troubles arise projects that breakdown shortly after they are launched.

After 10 AM a brief period could be used to advance while the Sagittarius Moon is traveling free of entanglements through the end of the sign at 1:01 PM. According to ancient astrologer, William Lilly, the Moon is never void of course while in Sagittarius. (also Taurus, Cancer and Pisces.) I have tested these rules and have chosen to adopt them.


1:01 PM MOON ENTERING CAPRICORN until 12:03 PM Thursday Jan 2, 2014.
Dec 31 2013.
Matters move slowly and for your own good. This is the dark phase of the Moon that keeps you in the dark however; there is an alignment with those in seats of power that will reveal their motives Wednesday night or early Thursday Jan 2, 2014. Money matters have critical links to past corruption, overages or mismanagement. Women from the past emerge with a tempting offer. You may find yourself ready to engage however you could be short to pitch in with your contribution. In the end there is a ruling which can work in your favor if you can wait that long. See how seeds from the past, nine months ago, can shed light on these matters. Cabinet choices and governing structures are busy filling vacated seats especially for those in finance. This Capricorn Moon ends its journey through the sign with a parallel aspect to Capricorn’s ruling planet Saturn.

In general hard-working Capricorn Moons are dead serious about their work. The "rules" command the day. Progress and status are important. Important people that "count" are around, as well as people you can count on. You are your own presentation, and caring about what other people think is often more important. The tone might be something like, "It is not as important to be happy as it is to be correct and successful." Make sure all your ducks are in a row. As a result, the pressure is great to be successful. Criticism runs high during Capricorn Moons and if you have not invited criticism as a constructive asset you could receive a blow to your confidence. This can be a time when people are more sensitive or very thin skinned. Capricorn can often expose matters of low self-esteem and gloomy feelings. There tends to be an emotional coldness during this time. Fathers, bosses, and authority figures are the main characters at the time of the Capricorn Moon. Architecture, big business and corporate structures are the focus. If you are a Capricorn, matters may favor your efforts however with the current grand cardinal cross involving Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. This is highly action packed with both advancement and crisis.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014! Wednesday January 1, 2014. The Moon will be new at 6:14 AM at 11º Capricorn. The line-up of lunar aspects runs a long list for the New Year as well as the powerful Sun alignment with Pluto. That conjunction of the Sun and Pluto renews its annual cycle at which time there is an illumination of matters of those in the seats of power or their representatives. On a personal quest we may discover a inner resource that has the capacity to regenerate the fragments left from a low point as enrichment for new growth. Now is the time to address your inner demons with the courage to cut a new path for your future.

Jan 2 2014
Aquarius is an outgoing air sign ruling friendship and groups that join to exchange ideas and share like-minded ideas. With an Aquarius Moon the unusual, brand-new, and bizarre are the order of the day. This is usually a more social time with the unexpected as the norm. Aquarius rules anything very strange or alien in nature. Emotions are more erratic with an unpredictable expression. When independence streak is triggered some people express themselves with alienating behaviors becomes obvious. This is also true with nations, and companies, etc. There is a sense or expectation of change, and for some it may feel like impending doom. For others a strong surge of hope is evident. Aquarius is a fixed sign, indicating that things may not really change but evolve to the level of social consciousness. This may be a good time for revelations and awakenings. Aquarius rules mirrors or tape recorders, where reflection and repetitiveness are modes of behavior. Incessant talkers are reported, debating any passing point. This is the sign of invention and modernization. If you are an Aquarius, matters tend to go your way. Doctor appointments on days with Aquarius Moons can lead to treatments with the most modern techniques and equipment. In the garden it's a good time to eliminate bugs and weeds.

MOON ENTERING PISCES
Jan 4 2014
The Pisces Moon can be a time of divine inspiration and composition. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic time. This is a great time to recharge your batteries with some well needed down time. For some they may seek an escape with alcohol or mind-altering substances. You may feel compelled toward activities that support what feels like a mission or become a vehicle for divine intervention. This moon period can hold both gentle and forceful energy. Neptune the god of the sea, rules Pisces can be divinely spiritual or filled with upheaval when enraged. Hurricanes after all are born at sea. Tidal waves, tsunami and monsoons are all ruled by Neptune as are any major rain or snow storm. This can be a sensitive and romantic couple of days. There may be a presence of strong feelings of faith combined with a need to make a spiritual connection. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic period; people can be overly sensitive and feel victimized. At times when feeling overly frustrated and misunderstood, striking out at others turns the victim into the victimizer as with the wounded puppy syndrome. There may be a strong focus on cosmetic and superficial appearances. Some may experience a Pisces Moon as a "black cloud" or fear that something unfortunate will occur as with 'Murphy's Law". There is a strong spiritual hunger during this time. Emotions range from melancholy to sentimental. This is a very good time for meditation, yoga and prayer and connecting to the universal divine protector. On a mundane level, there may be all sorts of sneaky behavior behind the scenes and misrepresentations. You may become aware of secrets. Clandestine affairs love a Pisces Moon. Elect to work behind the scenes for tasks requiring solitude. Intuition runs high; so trust your gut feelings. Music can be used as a tool to alter moods. Practice meditation, yoga and prayer. Create something poetic and be open to receive inspiration. Help someone -- service and sacrifice is Pisces' middle name and it helps with any tendency toward self-pity. Be aware of the lack of boundaries. The weather may be wet or misty. This is a fertile time and productive time in the garden. Planting and cultivating. If a Moon phases occurs while the Moon is in Pisces, people take action on the secrets revealed. The rule of thumb with a Pisces Moon is that you will land in a different place than you expected if you choose this time to initiate your objectives. If you are a Pisces, matters generally tend to go your way.



MERCURY SEMISQUARE NEPTUNE
Exact Jan 4 2014
Brief description: Confusion. Distortion of the truth. Difficulty diagnosing problems. Intuitive thinking. Relates information from vague sources. Insider leaks.
For personal use: Double check everything you hear before letting upsetting stories ruin your day.
For business use: You could have the advantage of leaked information but you could also suffer a disadvantage.


SUN CONTRAPARALL JUPITER
Exact Jan 4 2014
Brief description: Enthusiastic and optimistic responses. Upbeat. Success with short term endeavors. But high expectations fall short. Keep your expectations down to a minimum and enjoy this onetime event. New social situations. Celebrations for a significant other. Adventures are short term. Outside inquiries regarding publications. A great opportunity to expand your knowledge. Benefit from spiritual connections. Strong burst to self-esteem. Moderate your decisions while in an over confident state of mind. Something falls flat or short of your hopes. A major effort for too little reward. The promise was greater than the prize. Over inflated impressions. The event that is overpriced and over rated. Too little too late. A onetime opportunity. A disappointment in regard to a trip. Taking on more than you can handle. Someone reneges on their end of the bargain when they move onto greener pastures. You may not have a legal leg to stand on.
For personal use: This aspect works very well for short term endeavors as long as you do not have an expectation that are beginning something that will carry you into the future. Get a completely new perspective.
For business: Beware of entering into agreements with others of short association. Plans work well for the short run. Pies in the sky ideas come down to earth. Expand your knowledge.
other dates this year that hold positive Jupiter aspect with the Sun are:

When Jupiter is retrograde apply to plans that include an opportunity that was considered lost such as with education, travel or a marketing plan.
