COSMIC WAVES FORECAST DECEMBER 30TH TO JANUARY 5TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

It has been awhile since the primary planets have been direct. The only retrograde happening right now is Mercury and for the next few days it will not be connecting with much which reduces the mischief. Uranus will be direct and I think that for several days we will see lots of shake ups without the personal destabilizing affects. A lot can be illuminated this week, and in doing so, a clearer path forward is seen. So, get your personal house in order with some wiggle room for the unexpected.

New Year’s Day and after will be great for new beginnings and couples. Some very strong stabilizing connections are creating space for those looking for romance or boosting love.Venus is starting its journey in Aquarius, so connections on a consciousness level are more likely. If you aren’t “looking” this is still a wonderful time for fulfillment, new discoveries, and explorations. Allow yourself these warm feelings because they can be called upon later when you get worn down.

Friday, December 30^th, with so much in Sagittarius right now, how could you feel anything except optimism? This is a time when we can plan for ending 2016 and beginning of 2017. Yeah, there is regular news that should cause fire alarms to go off, but we have to think that what was dislodged from the general psyche in 2016 can now be reformed into something more inclusive, or not. This is a time where our attitudes make a lot of impact on the future. I would like to add a light towards getting it right than just my way. Because of how Mars is situated, it will be hard to get into the mood to take personal action because of the uncertainty. So planning and visualizing is a safer plan. The day will start out in mystical guru state and then turn into making a list and getting organized. Like picking up things for your New Year’s celebration. Moon in Sagittarius until later when it goes into Capricorn.

Saturday, December 31^st, today and tomorrow Mars will be exact on Neptune in Aquarius. Neptune can add confusion or mystery to any action. This can be a tough call on how it will be expressed. Those who are not feeling good will towards man mankind, expect real pressure to act out. Be careful where you celebrate and who you invite. After a few drinks, it could be really ugly. Or hire a bouncer and party on. Try to tap into the joy of turning a page on life and optimism for the future. If you don’t do resolutions, then pick up some reading that will expand your mind or heal your heart. One of my traditions is to wear something new, and have the house cleaned up. Something about a well-maintained space just starts the new year out well. I also have all repairs done before celebrating. But then, I generally fall asleep well before midnight. Tomorrow is my day to party. Moon in Capricorn.

Sunday, January 1^st, I raise my mimosa to all and wish you a Happy New Year! The morning after has some joys in store. The reset for this next year could be very powerful. Doesn’t mean that change or challenges won’t be difficult, but you will see openings to solutions and recombination’s that are more in tune with what is needed. This evening will be good for some star gazing as Venus and the Moon in Aquarius will be very close to each other. Maybe time to make a wish for some deep desire? Moon in Aquarius.

Monday, January 2^nd, you probably will meet a roadblock to all that good intention from New Years. Take it in stride and get back on course as soon as you can. The future will require everyone’s work and adjustments. May I philosophize here a minute? We have been moving into a very polarized world. It is affecting the whole planet. Where did the mid ground go? There is so much of that which needs to be rediscovered. Instead of falling into tribalism’s, think of what is really important. This will be another night where the Moon will be close to Venus, but right on Mars… just consider traveling with Mars in the unseen Neptune the seat of mass consciousness. Be open to listening to alternative reasonable solutions. Moon in Aquarius.

Tuesday, January 3^rd, the next few days, the Mercury retrograde should be losing its bad reputation. Some unusual circumstances may well turn into bright prospects for the future. Your challenge is to sort out what part you can contribute to that illumination. Although it will be hard, do take time for your health and wellbeing. Don’t neglect it right now. When you take that time, it allows others to take that time also. Recharge, you are going to need it soon! Moon in Pisces this evening.

Wednesday, January 4^th, the Sun is now close enough to Pluto for the next 10 days or so that some real-world pressure for change and “performance” must happen. I look at it as more of showdown. So just imagine Tombstone, in 1881…. the various factions will be headed to an intersection and it is unknown how it will turn out. What is sure is who wins the battle will be writing the history. Does not mean that history will look favorably on the events. This is a good time to email legislators about your opinions. The bulk listings are easy, but it is really easy to just email them directly, so don’t get lazy. Feelings will be high, so keep it proactive and constructive criticism. Those are the messages that will be read. Moon in Pisces.

Thursday, January 5^th, many of the more fortuitous angles have taken a break so it will be rough for a while. The tension will be high with world affairs in the spotlight. Listen, understand, contemplate consequences. That is all you can do right now. Still many things happening that will surprise or shock everyone. Let those things come out and see how things fit. I plan on a quiet night with meditation before I go to bed. Let your dreams tell you what you can do or any other messages about your life that need to be revealed. Open up but don’t react. Moon in Pisces.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST DECEMBER 23RD TO 29TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

One of the potent marks this week in the heavens will be around December 28^th and 29^th. There will be enough distance between the Sun, Moon and Mercury from Pluto (all in Sagittarius) that a seeming light of information and understanding can occur. This connection also is part of the North Node which is the way of the future and a destiny point. Like an arrow aimed at where we need to go.

The hard part will counter balance Mars while inflaming the South Node (losses and regressions) and Neptune. Murky territory as to what the mass consciousness wants to hold. In plain words, those who want to fail to evolve, will have extra strains on their consciousness. The conflicts of reality will be mounting. Unfortunately, this means a few weeks of dastardly plans being made and expressed. Mars is a tough customer when it comes to instability and impulsiveness. There is also a T Square with the midheaven creating this strain with wealth, power and control.

The Uranus/Jupiter opposition is exact this week, bringing erratic, shocking, surprising events and all in bigger than life demonstrations. What has been hidden, and there still is a lot trying to make it to the surface, will get extra pressure to spring the lid on that Pandora’s’ box. I don’t want to get all negative, because there are other parts of life that are working fine and will continue too! We all will need to be smart, attentive and have courage to do what is best for all of us.

For me, I plan to limit my exposure to potentially stressful situations. Of course, with my walk in the light philosophy, I would like to suggest that the next two weeks be spent meditating sometime in the day. Focus on solutions, if you know of any that are local, and justice. We all respond to what is right. It is a gut feeling as well as the mind is calmed by seeing and knowing it is in power. As for local solutions, focus on how to help those under pressure. Help out where you can. Also, think of small industries that can work in your area and put out a beacon of light for that to transpire. My theory is people who can make their way in life tend to be happier and thereby making live stable for the rest of us. There will be a lot of acting out right now.

On another note, romance should be experiencing some wonderful connections. Venus in Capricorn is trine with Jupiter in Virgo. While maybe not the most luxuriant of connections, it is a time to feel very grounded in your relationship. There will be a pinch of need for tangible proof of what someone means to you. Be sure to give from the heart too!

Friday, December 23^rd, the cross currents of world events need to take a back seat to where you get your energetic boost. Find your center today because soon more stressors will be begging for attention. I hate to get into the classic battle of good an evil, but on many levels today will start to show those indicators. We let a few to govern us, and they may or may not do their best. We need to see that for what it is. Also, the duality of living in the past where things seems better is not an option… but some will try to push that in our faces. Otherwise, if you can focus on the joys around you, there is a lot of connections to make the next few days very bright. Try to hold on to that through the new year. Moon in Libra.

Saturday, December 24^th, try to connect with how you actually feel. The moon will be very supportive today for those who can sort through the monkey mind and just connect with how they feel. I think many have already surveyed their vulnerabilities and feel fortunate that right now they have what they need. The fear that, myself included, feel that a pin will be pulled from your security and the whole deal will collapse. Many live in fragile economic situations, but want to see life with gratitude. Try to feel and call for security. Whoever or whatever you find strength in, needs your attention. Miracles have and do happen. Moon in Libra.

Sunday, December 25^th, we will all feel a bit needy today. Even if you feel overwhelmed with the material side of the season, try to not over react when someone close has a hissy fit. We will see a lot of that over the next couple of weeks. It would be better to listen carefully to what is said and make small adjustments. The pieces in life are in reasonable shape for most, but the bar is so low with that expectation, the balance can be easily tipped into hysteria. Try to connect on a deeper spiritual level to allow healing all around. Moon in Scorpio.

Monday, December 26^th, a lot of people are calling this to be a day of difficulty. I say it is the lynch pin to what will unfold this next two weeks. Watch the news carefully. Watch your friends and neighborhoods carefully. The stressor will show itself, although most of us already know what that trigger is. I have seen murder and mayhem waved aside because of simply listening or acknowledging a hardship or deep concern. We are here for each other. If possible to do so safely, be a light. Again, there is both a stabilizing and necessary efforts towards what is best for the future. Go for leadership, attention to truth and details, as well as honor. Moon in Scorpio.

Tuesday, December 27^th, there is a crux point in the skies right now that give a lot of momentum to settling great debates. The connecting point is a heart ready to change and a sense of love or compassion. Time to step away from dogma and consider how we would like to be treated. If you have such a low esteem that you feel worthy of deprecating events, then please seek help. The spirit needs to soar now, not be grounded into the earth. Again, we do “keep” each other to a large extent. Follow that lead if you want to own up to your gifts of compassion. Moon in Scorpio most of the day. This evening it will be in Capricorn.

Wednesday, December 28^th, much of the good vibes we have been able to hold onto are now tested by some assault to humanity. Some clarifying information will start to emerge out of all of this. Pieces will start to merge together. Uranus will go station (stationary) today which means that what was festering underneath will start to burst forward. Trust that the last few days you have done your part to help those around you and defuse some of the tension. But alas, we know some have been pushed away, for good reason, and those will be extra needy of attention via actions. There is a tendency over the next couple of days to look at the world philosophically. Take that to heart and learn from it. Moon in Sagittarius.

Thursday, December 29^th, there is a tangle of the Sun/Moon/Mercury (albeit retrograde) that will create a great understanding of what is in store for us. Don’t believe everything you hear in the news about “deplorables”. There is a chance that is being overplayed at this moment. I know the news will show many, that I would call deplorable, because of their crimes against humanity. These are not who I am speaking of. The divide and conquer aspect is trying to play us against each other where those “deplorables” are starting to whiff the BS. That is when those who have been played will start turning over tables. I do think that most of you will find some very good news about your future today. So, celebrate that and start releasing the confusing year of 2016 and greet 2017 with optimism. Moon in Sagittarius.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST DECEMBER 16TH TO 22ND 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Well just when you thought it could not be stranger… it will in a big way. We have been seeing a series of unexpected events and revelations which will continue until April 10^th, 2017. So pace yourself with overload and stay tuned. What will happen at that time will be a shift in what is hidden and/or murky and turn into blazing breaks and re organizations when Uranus goes into Aries then. The flavor will change over the winter, so stay tuned.

What is new for this week is the sun will go into sidereal Sagittarius. It has been in Scorpio which is harsh and threatening sometimes. With this shift, expect more of a philosophical air in what is seen and done. Still will be the overlaying battles which are developing on many fronts. Such as Neptune dancing with the Draconian point of Ketu or the South Node. Big losses and if you are lucky spiritual awakenings. I know that sounds bazar, but you become less materialistic when you are more spiritual…. So goes the theory.

Also, starting on Saturday, the 17^th Mercury will start to go station (stationary) and the Retrograde. This will be dancing with Pluto the most of the time. Yes, the make or break planet of death and regeneration emitting communications which must transform. This will continue until January 9^th, 2017. I suspect this retrograde will be tough at first, then start to ease some. But when it goes direct, the conjunction with Pluto will start to line up again bringing a revisiting of this week’s issues but without the backwards or difficult communication. What does this mean to the Congressional hearings? Well, technically information can and will be missed. Misleading statements and agendas will abound. The dirty tricks will continue. To be positive, In an honest climate of public discourse, it would mean a deep understanding of how things actually are. I am not sure we are in such a state right now.

There is a T Square AND square with Pluto /Uranus/Jupiter (transformation. chaos and power). That has erratic disclosures with the big and powerful that must occur. Transform or die.  This importance will give us a break around the Christmas holidays, but will be back in the picture soon after that. Right now, Mercury is transiting Pluto, so expect the news to be hard to accept if you are holding on to old ideas. I hope it is going to demonstrate that we have already gone through tribalism and exclusion and we are ready to do things a different way.

Saturn and Chrion (the wounded healer) will be squaring off for some time. The down side of this is everyone is going to be pushed out of their comfort zone. All I can hope is that healing occurs rather than unhealthy coping mechanisms developing in our psyche.

Enough of the big picture, here is the weekly breakdown.

Friday, December 16^th, the morning has us moody and trying to cope. By afternoon, the obsessive aspects will make us feel less aloft. Expect the intensity of the news to continue for a while. Mercury is dancing on Pluto and starting tomorrow Mercury will start to go station (stationary) and then retrograde. Not all is lost for today as there still will be Uranus in good communication with Saturn bringing real information or leaks of intelligence. Also, the Sun goes into Sagittarius today bringing some shifts in perspective. The deep psychic wounding will be less in our face and the emergence of honor and truth will start to shine through for the next month. Well at least with the general sentient soul. Moon in Cancer.

Saturday, December 17^th, OK, Mercury starts to slow down for its retrograde trip to end out the year. The first week or so will be very intense, but then it will start to drift towards the Sun in Sagittarius giving us a chance to look at life with some optimism for the new year. 2016 will probably go down as one of the most unsettling in our collective consciousness. Will we learn from the dirty tricks and be more savvy? That is up to you! This is a great day to do altruistic things. Help someone out, or just spread some cheer. I have noticed most conversations seem to be missing that element. I haven’t even sent out cards this year! Moon in Cancer. 

Sunday, December 18^th, here is a test for today and tomorrow. If your emotional energy goes into something that will bring increase or feed the future, you will find some real rewards. If not, don’t expect your emotional state to be of service. I rarely promote praying, because it is frequently associated with specific theologies, but anything you can send out that is emotionally positive, please do. Random acts of kindness, especially those that don’t require pay back…. Even better to add a physical imprint to the overall lack of holiday spirit. Moon in Leo.

Monday, December 19^th, whatever went on last night will be in our face this morning with the Moon/conjunct the North Node in opposition to Neptune. The moon is going to give an additional gut reaction to what has been going on. I have no advice, but for myself I will be routing for honesty, integrity, and justice. Those qualities are about to get a serious submersion. What has come out is worse for the big players at this time. They will do anything to avoid disclosure. On the positive front, it all must happen. So don’t ignore it. Moon in Leo.

Tuesday, December 20^th, it will be hard to trust your feelings today. Most of what you hear is going to not sit well. With the good aspects of the day what needs to be done, is going as planned. But with all the oppositions, it is best to just keep the news to a minimum and just connect with those you love. Sometimes the saying to simplify and just be present is the best way to spend your day. Especially this time of year. Big meal or play some games instead of TV. Get into the real zone for a while. Moon in Virgo most of the day.

Wednesday, December 21^st, even if it is just symbolic, treat yourself to a Yule celebration. Have a fire outside, or at least recognize that this is the longest night of the year and in a few days, that will be starting to shift. Seems like we have been in the dark a long time, but when one ebbs, another flows and light does return. It is going to be hard to get control of both emotions and thinking. Instead of letting that overwhelm you, structure your day and activities so that there is fulfillment through accomplishment. I am sure this close to some major days off, there is wrapping, cooking or cleaning that needs to be done. Get everyone involved and there can be a feeling of synergy in the household.  Moon in Virgo.

Thursday, December 22^nd, Erratic emotions, especially about the bigger world will be at a height. The Moon will be transiting/crossing Jupiter which is in a hard opposition to Uranus (shock and technology) right now. Everything will seem to be out of proportion, so be careful about repeating things you just heard. Again, a day to be busy with fact checking or staying on a structured to do list. Although that might just be impossible. Don’t beat yourself up if that is the case. Tomorrow will have similar energies so just plan staying centered, even it is just before the holiday. I have no idea why we do this to ourselves at this time of year. It is a time to start to slow down and recharge. Instead we have rationalized reasons to just amp it up more. Be good to yourself instead. Get a massage or something restful. Wednesday, you got everyone together to complete a lot of what needed to be done, now sit back and enjoy it. Moon in Virgo.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST DECEMBER 9TH TO 15TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

In general, this will be more of a week of getting a pet project launched and finding your way in the unknown. Keep it honorable, inspirational and watch the doors open. I would be negligent if I did not have a disclaimer that those who operate from ego or purely self interest, will find big life lessons happening…. Yes like you have to adjust your inner self to fit with the general scheme of things. Some timing issues are also in play because while this is a good time to start something, it is not necessarily a quick turnaround to success. That depends on the goal and how it fits with the times.

Friday, December 9^th, starts with a push for practical action. The bigger the reality check the better! I know there will be bruised egos out there, but all this will not feel very good. When you experience this twinge of guilt or reluctance, it is something in you that has to shift. That issue covers your world view as well as dealing with the uncertainties of life. They are always there to keep up moving forward. Moon in Pisces.

Saturday, December 10^th, this could be a very interesting day. There is a set of Grand Trines in fire and water which can bring a lot of energy towards starting a deeply desired goal. The things favored during the day are setting up documents and communications. Then in the evening, from 9:17 (21.17) pm to 10:21 (22:21) pm in Central Time (USA), I suggest doing a meditation which includes doing your work in a busy environment and shining light on your efforts so that everyone sees them. Could also be a good time, after the meditation, to launch the project on line. Otherwise today will be a day of gathering info, including hidden info, and setting the first step to prosperity in your new endeavor. Sometimes it is easy to forget when something crumbles, there are pieces to be re organized and put into future use. Hard to let go of the known for the unknown. Please take note, that the future will have lots of things to navigate, so this is just a good launch time! Moon in Aries.

Sunday, December 11^th, some of the reality of what you have launched will cause you to question yourself. If you are unsure of your ability to fulfill everything, take a step back and just remember that most endeavors are based on the ability to learn, adjust, maneuver around the changing times. Don’t overly obsess, but just start a “to do” list for Monday. Review it later for prioritizing. Of particular importance, consider the way the social situation fits with your agenda. Instead of giving up, simply visualize how the two can come together eventually. This only means you will understand more of a time line for your project. Go with that flow! Moon in Aries.

Monday, December 12^th, with the weekends positive energies starting to dwindle, you will start to see the serendipitous changes to your foundations. Expect these happy accidents or situations to continue through most of the week. The hard part will be uncertainty and fear of the unknown. These are there for a reason. This time it is to test your resolve and abilities. If you have a good foundation in your efforts or projects, then you will be fine. If you have based those efforts on ego and fantasy, don’t expect much to happen. Definitely an esoteric component to any actions we take now. This is a big lesson for those who embark of transforming ideas into reality. Like knowing your sources, motivations and your foundations.  For those wanting to reconnect with your love interest, this is a great day to spend some extra special time with them. Moon in Taurus.

Tuesday, December 13^th, unless you need to break a very bad habit, this is a day to simply let go and allow things to happen. In that time, review your recent desires to create or transform something in your life. Allow things to stream your way and deal one thing at a time. There is a strong opposition which makes you feel lazy, so if something comes up today, deal with it, otherwise allow things to flow your way. I love full moons because they allow me to give thanks, and see things come to fruition. Do be mindful of avoiding negativity in your thoughts towards another. You could inadvertently make that happen. Moon in Taurus.

Wednesday, December 14^th, we could all wake up with more of an emotional optimism if certain commonly held truths are considered. Just what those truths are varies from one area to the next. So it is a good day to fine-tune between want and need. Core values that all can enjoy are “liberty, equality and fraternity” as a meditation point. Dig into each one and how that will manifest in an everyday life. I personally like the idea of equality because it fits into the value of your work, how you live among others and how you share from your own stores of bounty with others. If so inclined, consider those who don’t possess certain rights and how they would be if such rights were shared. Moon in Gemini.

Thursday, December 15^th, hold on to the future visions of our little planet. With a Grand Square, that thought can be held in place for a day. The issues about how that will materialize will become evident, but that is only a starting point. We can only work on what we know. Expect some emotional scattered reactions to occur. Take frequent breaks in the day to sort out what is reaction and what is a necessary change coming into the light. Tomorrow we will all work on what part of that change that is in our range of power. Moon in Gemini.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST DECEMBER 2ND TO 8TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

I can see now that Neptune has finally moved into forward motion. Many of us have been seeing secrets come out of the wood work, and now we shall see the sources of those secrets. Too bad that the last election had to be done with a blind spot, and in some opinions, a huge blind spot. I like to believe in the better part of human nature and want to propose that once the secrets are out, they will come around. There will still be a lot of anger, so the noise is everywhere. What starts coming out is not leaks of information, but realizations. Bottom line life lessons learned and more stability should follow if we can think before we speak.

Venus moves into sidereal Capricorn this week. Definitely a time to make sure that you do what you promise because there is more focus on the material side of life. Is your girlfriend sulking because you haven’t done much for her lately? This is a time to pick up something small, even a special ornament, to show you are still number one. Consider it time for regular early stocking stuffers.

Friday, December 2^nd, right now is a trend that those who help themselves gain the most favor or luck. This should be a trend through December 10^th. Make the most of this time as with some crazy links to success can be found. The key to this situation relates  with hard work, practical designs and money management. Those of you in these areas need to stay up on your game and visible. Moon in Sagittarius.

Saturday, December 3^rd, romance is most likely to get a back seat to reality today. You won’t be in the mood nor will the energy be there for any drama over any absences. Take this as a power day to facilitate a goal or desire. There is plenty of time later for togetherness. Life is like a wave much of the time. The sooner you learn to surf it, the better off you will be. Moon in Capricorn.

Sunday, December 4^th, as mundane as this sounds, this could be a great day to organize your home or garage. There is a lot of energy to do something physical but it needs to be in the arena of making your life easier. Maybe it is a really big job you have put off all summer and now the weather is decent to get it done. Try to avoid outside distractions today also. Moon in Capricorn.

Monday, December 5^th, you will have a rare coming together of energy for a project and having the deep desire accomplishing it. Mix that with a fortuitous aspect with Jupiter and you can move mountains today. Of course, there are T squares that make you fret over some access to a key part, but with just a little bit of ingenuity, you can do it for less and with what you have on hand. This is a steller day for a handy person. Moon in Aquarius by mid afternoon.

Tuesday, December 6^th, there could be some harsh revelations about human nature today. Yes when people lose hope, some really awful things can happen. A big test for everyone will be to remember there is an alternative way to approach difficulty. Don’t give into a regressive refusal to let go of the past. Only the future will benefit any of us. Let’s try to keep that in prospective and find a way to fix or make better what drove another to something so sinister. Yep, a day to take a check up on how the most vulnerable impact everyone. Seems like it was the Harvard Business School that said the weakest link can take down a company. Moon in Aquarius. 

Wednesday, December 7^th, this could be a day that we remember and relate to Pearl Harbor day. With the Moon directly on Chiron, the wounded healer, and obsessively stressed on Jupiter (big events), trying to find meaning or a cure is paramount. These are times we look to our leaders who have their fingers on the pulse of the whole. The rest of us can only focus on what gets us through the day and hope that we are not next to lose something or someone. There will be a bright spot of some good or comforting news about the future. Better made plans or a lesson learned? We can only hope for the best. Moon in Aquarius.

Thursday, December 8^th, a break in the clouds and a ray of hope comes to us today. A long fought battle for changing wrongs in the past will have the news headlines illuminated. After the last couple of days, it is welcome. Perhaps the present spiritual or esoteric lesson is that even in changing times, good things prevail. Look for that silver lining. Maybe it is just we want to be optimistic, but that energy has a powerful charge to counter the more difficult things. Moon in Pisces.

Blessings and Peace,
