Welcome to December. We saw vividly how the charismatic Sun/Venus/Mars combination that was idling through Libra did in fact turn on a dime on 10/23 and transform passionately into 5 planets in Scorpio…. Things did get intense for many people. Now, we spin again, and we find SIX planets in Sagittarius. O, what joy! This promises to bring great relief and fun. It’s not that we learned to duck our collective heads during Scorpio, it’s that the good work that we accomplished will now be rewarded in the sign of the Archer. Time to enjoy life, right?
A Look Back - The Top 5 Astrological Events of 2006
5. Saturn’s persistence through Leo has kept many of us having to define our personal boundaries – taint over yet – till September of 2007.
4. Don’t underestimate Neptune’s transit over the USA’s Sun. It has (we have) created uncertainty about ourselves in the world’s eyes. And just like Neptune, the more we try to squeeze and control, the more our “power” quietly dissipates.
3. This marvelous combination of Jupiter and Neptune has brought us movies like “The Secret” and “What the Bleep” and symbolizes that more and more of us are ready for true spiritual awakening and experience.
2. The continuing Saturn opposition to Neptune (till June 2007) impels us to sober up. Painful sometimes, yes, but necessary.
1. Don’t just write off the demotion of Pluto to “Dwarf Planet” status. There is already serious talk about reinstating it – maybe even in 2007. Don’t ever underestimate shifts in how we perceive celestial bodies because Astrology is a symbolic language. This story is far from over - don’t ever take Pluto lightly.
A Look Ahead to 2007, The 10 Top Coming Astrological Occurrences
10. Jupiter and Pluto Conjunct - Jupiter adds a real Sagittarian punch to Pluto as Pluto prepares to leave its 11-year stay in Sagittarius. This should prove to be monumental. A real statement. As the great astrologer Stephen Arroyo says, “When a major planet is just about to leave a sign or house, it tends to stop and make a major summarizing statement – a finale.” Since Pluto has stirred up so much religious and philosophical tension during its reign, look for a major turning point here. Hopefully, it will not follow its basic Astrology 101 interpretation: “encouragement to use nuclear power,” rather, cooler heads prevailing for the good of all mankind.
9. Jupiter and Uranus Square - All year Jupiter will travel at a right-angle to Uranus (square). On the plus side, these two encourage each other to “let loose” and will fill us with a sense of carefree optimism. However, this combination can get carried away to excess. Fast growth, yes, irresponsible growth, no. More religious fanaticism - likely.
8. Saturn Travels Separately - Much of the year Saturn will be traveling in a “bucket handle” pattern. Much like the handle of an umbrella, the senior planet is alone across the zodiac from the other 9 which are fanned out. Therefore, its effect will be greatly emphasized. Maintaining its persistent stay in Leo, we will continue to find that everything in our lives will pivot around our critical need to define and safeguard our own personal boundaries.
7. March 18th Eclipse with Pluto - One of Pluto’s final statements in Sag will be made as the Solar Eclipse sheds light on what Pluto has been doing in the “underworld”, i.e., our unconscious as well as the Greater Unconscious. We will face questions like, “What does our life really add up to?”, at this time. Eclipses mark milestones. We might not like what we see, but it will be honest and clear, and we can learn much from it. Hopefully we’ll grow stronger because of it.
6. August 28th Eclipse with Saturn - This eclipse with Saturn next to the Sun in Virgo will inspire us to take action to “clean up our acts.” And in a big way. Down-to-earth, real, physical solutions.
5. March 3rd Eclipse with Uranus - Like the 9/7/06 eclipse, this one is with Uranus and will make us feel like breaking free from restriction. However, we must be careful not to blame others for our limitations and inspect our own self-inhibiting behavior first.
4. Saturn Enters Virgo in September - Wow, Saturn goes into Virgo. You think you’re overworked now? A planetary-wide yard sale. After all the rough stuff ego-banging of Saturn in Leo since 7/16/05, we now get to work. No more whining. The waiting rooms for Doctors of Internal Medicine will be full, believe me.
3. Saturn Opposes Neptune - Finally, after two years, Saturn will bring its opposition to Neptune to a climax. Hopefully we have faced our illusions and pipe-dreams and are well on our way to not only a more sober life, but one that is quite lighter!
2. 9/11 Eclipse with Uranus – Does that sound ominous? I hope not. The Solar Eclipse in Virgo triggers Uranus in Pisces on “9/11?” I don’t know what to say other than the fact that 9/11 is very sore spot on this country’s calendar. An eclipse on that point in quite scary without Uranus adding to it. We need to be extremely vigilant during this time. Uranus specializes in “surprises.” Special monitoring of our vast computer networks will be warranted at this time.
1. Pluto Exits Sagittarius - Pluto is on the verge of leaving Sagittarius and even though it doesn’t enter (ingress) into Capricorn until 1/25/08, it clearly becomes our biggest story since 1995 when it entered. Volumes can be written about its effect in Sagittarius and even more will be cited during its stay in the critical sign of Capricorn which represents our institutions among many other social structures. This promises to be tumultuous as it will attempt to break our dependence on institutions and force us to rely on ourselves more. Cancer countries (USA=July 4) don’t want to hear that. Cancers want to be taken care of. There will be much more written on this subject during the coming year. I intend to dedicate an entire issue to the lengthy list of monumental changes that Pluto influenced during its 11-year stay in Sagittarius. Then there will be another issue looking ahead to what its effect on us and our world may be like during its coming 16 year residence in Capricorn.
