The Stars This Week - 12/04/06 - 12/10/06

There is plenty of information flying back and forth as this week begins with a full Moon in communication-oriented Gemini on December 4. Then Saturn, the builder, turns retrograde on December 5, and you'll begin a thorough review of your life plans. Mars, the action planet, enters free-spirited Sagittarius on December 5 followed by Mercury on December 8, and your restlessness will prompt you to break out of old routines.

December 4: Full Moon in Gemini

Gemini, the data collector, loves to exchange information, so get ready during this full Moon for ringing phones, lots of email and plenty of IMing back and forth. It seems like everybody has something to say! But watch for information overload. Erratic Uranus squares this full Moon, making last-minute changes in plans likely. Do yourself a favor and be flexible. Emotions are heightened during full Moon periods anyway, and with this Uranus energy in the mix, you may feel extra frazzled. However, this is a great time to socialize. If you're not busy you could get restless or bored, so make sure to spend time chatting with your favorite people.

December 5: Saturn turns retrograde

Saturn turns retrograde once a year, giving us time to review our lives and make sure that what we're aiming for is still what we want. (Retrogrades are always about going back over territory you've already been through.) This retrograde period will last until April 19, 2007. Saturn represents our responsibilities, our rules for living, how we construct our lives, and where we need to put our boundaries. There are areas of your life now where it will be important to step back, review and see how you can support yourself more effectively. Facing limitations and ending of old ways of living may be a part of this time.

December 5: Mars enters Sagittarius

Do you feel restless? Are you ready for an adventure? No wonder! As Mars, the planet of action, transits through Sagittarius, the travel sign, leave behind your day-to-day routines and get your passport up-to-date, because it's definitely time to journey out of your comfort zone. Whether you get on a bike, a plane or roller blades, make sure you use this dynamic energy to go somewhere. What is the most important now is to travel outside of your own neighborhood, both literally and metaphorically, to really enjoy this transit lasting until January 16, 2007.

December 8: Mercury enters Sagittarius

Mercury in fiery, outspoken Sagittarius loves to preach! You'll have lots of thoughts and ideas you'll want to talk about. Although there can be a tendency to blurt out whatever is on your mind, nothing beats this placement for enthusiasm and an optimistic frame of mind. Be tactful but inspiring to get the most out of this transit. Because Sagittarius is a sign that represents any culture or country foreign to you, this is a great time to sign up for a language class.

Learning To Read A Chart

If you want to learn astrology, you’ve got to read a book. If you’re lucky it’s a good one. It’s not too boring so you figure you’ll read another. Next thing you know if you get the bug, you’ve read four or five or eight books and right about here you consider really cracking down.

And if you do that… well pretty soon you’ve read ten or twenty or thirty books and things are starting to gel. And at some point you want to try out your new knowledge, so you start to talk to people. You look at their charts or your talk about your own. And if you keep it up, eventually you start “reading” charts.

And at first you’ve got to have your books there so you can look things up and offer up pieces. There is no synergy. You can’t really read a chart, you can just look it up quickly! You fumble along but if you keep this up things improve.

Eventually you become familiar with certain things. Certain aspects you understand. Or maybe you get the 2nd house, or Jupiter really well. But you still have no ideas of your own. And by now you can recite what other people have said or written… you need your books less, but still none of it originates inside of you.

But if you keep it up… if you try and try, eventually there a tipping point and things start to open up for you. It’s like this: Eureka!

And then some more time passes… more time, more time, more time, and more time. More time passes, more books, more watching, more reading, more studying, and then one day - one glorious day - you have something of your own to say about something you see. You have something original to say about a house or a planet, or an aspect or an entire chart, or whatever it is in your hand when it happens for you.

And at that point you’re becoming an astrologer. Astrology is no longer something you have memorized but something you have absorbed and assimilated; and this to me, is an alchemical process. Everything goes into the pot. Soup, nuts, snails, and puppy dog tails and it boils, boils, boils, boils. And you boil, boil, boil, boil. And if you get out of the pot you lose! If you quit, you lose!

But if you stay in there… if you stay with it, alchemy takes place. And all the sudden you can look at those symbols and know exactly what they mean. And how this occurs is completely mysterious.

So this is how I learned to read a chart. How do you learn something new?
