Heads Up From Elsa P: December 8, 2011 - Full Moon & Frenetic Activity, Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Turns Direct

Published: Thu, 12/08/11

Thursday is the calm before the storm on Friday when the Moon in Gemini fills in to complete a loose mutable grand cross. Mars in Virgo is involved here with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, the sign of it's detriment, so expect traffic jams and communication clashes of all kinds. Gemini and Virgo will be particularly agitated but neither sign likes to be bored and both know how to juggle, so no big deal so long as you can keep perspective.

Consider Friday to be a prelude to Saturday which brings us the full moon in Gemini during the mid-morning in the US and will mark the culmination of all the frenetic activity. Once it passes, things will ease as the Moon heads into a grand trine with Saturn, Neptune and Chiron later in the evening.

Sunday is unpredictable as the Moon in Cancer squares Uranus but catches support from a variety of players. You may be moody but the odds are your mood will be upbeat thanks to Jupiter's support of the Moon in its own sign.

Monday and Tuesday look like PMS and depression to me as the Moon in Cancer collides with Venus in Capricorn and Saturn in Libra, but there are ways to deal with this. Namely, you can stand up for yourself but there is a lot of pressure here and those who are inclined to get down on themselves should brace for this. Also, if you're naturally cheery, this would be a good time to give generously because people are going to be aching.

Mercury turns direct on Wednesday, involved in a grand trine with the Moon and Uranus. Everyone is relieved and Geminis and Virgos rejoice!

If you want to talk about these issues or anything else, please schedule a phone appointment or contact me for an email consult.
