17th December 2009

Just seeing the first results creeping in from Copenhagen... here's the best concensus I've found so far, complete with methodology and statistical analysis.  Fascinating to see how countries like the UK, Kenya and Canada compare to Germany, Australia and the USA in terms of public opinion.  And - prewarning - Mercury retrograde starts soon, about eight-nine days, and already we're in the preglow of it.  The imagery I get is of drifting into steadily thickening seaweed, and we're unlikely to get through the other side until mid January earliest, so look at early-mid capricorn in your chart and see what house and aspects it makes and get ready for a degree of temporary uncertainty.  But I think this one will hit later rather than earlier, so I expect the first two weeks of the new year to be at their most irritating in this context.  And - I've just recorded 25 video clips for broadcast in the new year - watch this space.  And - Venus and Mars are in perfect angle with each other today in fire signs, so if you secretly admiring from afar, today is a great day for making your move.

Hi Steve; Mercury will station retrograde almost exactly conjunct the transiting North Node at 22 degrees of Capricorn. This reinforces what you describe as ''steadily thickening seaweed.'' We will have to carefully review (Rx)our mental strategies/logical basis (Mercury) for moving forward (NN) towards achieving our goals (Capricorn). Equally intriguing is that Mercury's direct station at 6 degrees of Cappy in late January will occur closely conjunct Pluto and also square its dispositor, Saturn, which in turn will be stationing Rx at about the same time. This promises to be one of the more potent Mercury retrogrades we've seen in a while, I dare say. We might want to pay close attention to the Capricorn sector of our charts. Thanks.

Well I think Venus and Mars definitely affected me strongly today- I have had the most amazing day- and it's all been acts of kindness from friends ( but none of them far away)A beautiful Xmas card from a new friend ,a visit from another, a social invitation from her, then yet another invitation- hey things are turning round for me... The whole of this week has been like that- unexpected e-mails, cards, invitations from friends- but today has been really powerful.The true spirit of Christmas.
