Sun enters Sagittarius - ingress 22 November 13:03

Optimism, hope, truth and justice are the key qualities this month. We are invited to reach beyond our current frame of reference and open ourselves up to new ideas and perceptions. By allowing new philosophical and enriched ideas to enter, we regain hope, and are able to rekindle a renewed trust in life. This sets in motion very powerful healing energies that connect us to the life force.

Jupiter enters Sagittarius - ingress 24 November 06:44

With Jupiter the great benefic in its dignity, we can only have a year that is framed by aspirations that pursue expansive goals and an innate faith in life. Opportunity knocks but it is up to us to open the door and walk through. To access optimism and to understand the part Jupiter plays, we need to see beyond existing boundaries, especially in the mental realms, as this will enable us to open ourselves to our higher vision for our life and our planet.

Mars enters Sagittarius - ingress 06 December 06:59

Mars asserts 'self honesty', energetically and impulsively. There is a drive coloured by an expansive urge for self-improvement, and a restless need for exploration ... Think before you act, taking care of being tactless to others as this can only dampen your exchange with them.

Saturn Retrograde - 06 December to 19 April 2007

Saturn is the great teacher and tester, testing our skill, our values and our very being. Saturn Retrograde gives us time to review our lives with a certain caution. Our ideas are crystallized and we slowly mature, and become aware of who we are. In Leo, there is a need to trust one's soul attunement and one's deepest heartfelt concerns.

Mercury enters Sagittarius - ingress 08 December 07:53

Teach others what you have learned as learning and teaching are closely related. Connections can only be established with others by being direct, truthful and broad-minded. Be aware ... coherent thinking might be blurred by over generalization.

Venus enters Capricorn - ingress 11 December 07:34

Venus is not content with overt displays of emotion and affection when she travels through Capricorn, yet she is capable of being very sensual in private. Classical music and other traditional art forms, that have preserved their value through the test of time, are a keen attraction.

Sun enters Capricorn - ingress 22 December 02:23

A sense of individuality is developed by one's ability to assume responsibility. Your flow of creative expression can be frozen by pessimism. There may be too much concern with respectability and appearances and this may hamper your creative energy.

With love and light and joy into 2007.
