The Stars This Week - 12/25/06 - 12/31/06

As Mercury finishes up the transit through Sagittarius with a conjunction to Pluto on December 25, you'll have something important to say. By December 27, communication-oriented Mercury gets down to business as it enters Capricorn. Venus's quincunx to Saturn on December 30 reminds us that there are times that pleasure needs to be set aside. While Mars sextile Neptune on December 31 keeps our ideals and dreams alive along with opportunities to act on them.

December 25: Mercury conjunct Pluto

When Mercury in outspoken Sagittarius joins with the power planet Pluto, you are likely to speak your mind and get involved in some pretty intense, pointed conversations. Count on having a laser focus and penetrating insights; it's what you do with them that counts. There is nothing superficial about this combo! If there is a mystery to be solved or information you need, you will stop at nothing to get the answers that satisfy you. The challenge is to let others have their own point of view and say what they need to say. Remember to listen as well as talk.

December 27: Mercury enters Capricorn

Mercury leaves philosophical Sagittarius and enters the realms of earthy, practical Capricorn. Your mind is done with its wandering and now wants to nail down the specifics. What a great transit for discussing the nuts and bolts of what you want. You take a pragmatic approach to everything now, whether you are deciding what you want to commit your resources to or which projects to take on. Because Capricorn views life with such practicality, you need to make sure Mercury doesn't make you let seriousness cross the line into pessimism.

December 30: Venus quincunx Saturn

Although it would be wonderful if everybody told you how much they loved and appreciated you, because of this aspect, it is time to do this for yourself. Others are either unavailable or they are not forthcoming. Venus is the planet of values and relationships, and her contact with rule-making Saturn reminds you that your quest for love needs healthy boundaries and a reality check. Instead of focusing on others, make adjustments that help you to feel more comfortable in your relationship with yourself. Because Venus also symbolizes money, this is a perfect time to rein in and curtail spending.

December 31: Mars sextile Neptune

Are you ready? As action-oriented Mars and idealistic Neptune make contact in optimistic Sagittarius, you have plenty of opportunities to get significant traction on your projects and plans. Your imagination is fired up, and what you thought was impossible yesterday has a way of working out wonderfully now. People appear from nowhere to help. All you have to do is make the most of this time. It turns out fairytales really can come true!
