The Stars This Week: "Take Advantage of Opportunities" - Dec. 25 - Dec. 31, 2006

[I Have A Dream]

Take Advantage of Opportunities

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

2. It all sounds good to me

"make adjustments that help you to feel more comfortable in your relationship with yourself" I like that :)

3. I can sure use some of that

energy, and have been building up for it. It is probably ancient wisdom that until I love myself, no one else can.

4. How come the 26th

doesn't say anything about feeling totally abandoned!
I just drove away my Piscean roommate, who is so damp and has absolutely NOTHING to say, and admits it. He would sit and touch and hold and google eyes, but nothing more.

I told him, he either likes living "HERE" or living with me. If it's here, he can stay, if it's with me, he has to go. Gawd those fish. You can shoot them in the barrel. Meanwhile I'm chasing Butterflies.

Frustrated. Is that in the stars for this week?
It is too much pressure to try to hold up one end of an exchange.

How many ends does a stick have?

5. ??? and you didn't ply him with wine ???

"He would sit and touch and hold and google eyes, but nothing more."

Talk about needing to take advantage of an opportunity!

(I'm hoping to cheer you up with a joke.)

Good luck with your butterfly hunt!

6. lol

It wasn't bad . when I needed touch. Guess I'm filled up. Not literally. No. I don't want to take advantage of someone who won't talk. Well, might depend on the mood.. but no!

You didn't guess the riddle. How many ends to a stick?

[Why Syzygy]

7. addedendum

Actually he claims to have a red wine collection. He keeps it in climate controlled lock up somewhere. I'm not really able to play (ply?) with wine, so that's his business.

I probably wasn't clear. I'm sure I could lead him down the rosy path, but I Don't Want To.
I prefer the distance. And things are working out okay. He's digging the digs without digging me. Perfect!

ps .. I am so anxious to give the answer!
