If you take a broad view, you should see conditions improve this week.  You can get a jump on the good feelings simply by looking ahead (Sagittarius).

As of Friday, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn will collect in the upbeat sign of Sagittarius. This situation will be sustained until December 19th:. Stellium In Sagittarius.

You can view this as a run of luck, taking place in the area of of life shown by the house(s) in your chart where it falls.  In the meantime, we do have other stuff to contend with.

Currently, Venus is in detriment in Scorpio. On the upside, she'll trine the Moon and Chiron in Pisces.  Something out there blurs the pain.

We've also got Mars in detriment (Libra) in hard aspect to Uranus and Pluto.  This is a harsh situation, but it's also familiar by now.  Remember the "Cardinal Clash" from several years ago? I did an entire workshop on the horror. This is the tail end of that.

Maybe you see what I mean.  If you focus on the tree, this may not be the greatest week. But if you consider the forest, the picture is much brighter.

This reminds me of those old kaleidoscope viewers; I'm not sure if they make them anymore. I loved those things because I could turn the viewer and see an endless array of things that looked miraculous to me. 

Better yet, when I landed on a particularly fetching pattern, I could pause and gaze into the tube, marveling at the beauty of what was before me... and it was safe.

I say that because generally I don't advocate not paying attention. But this week the near term horizon looks so good that it's worth stopping and really looking at what you can see in front of you.
