Uranus is the awakener, the mover and shaker of the zodiac. His goal is to change and improve at any cost. He will upset the apple cart, the status quo. After five months of being in retrograde, Uranus stations direct on December 5th. Although Uranus' retrograde cycle began in Aries, he has since returned to Pisces where he'll remain only until March 11, 2011. After March, he won't revisit Pisces again for approximately 84 years. So it's time to take advantage of the Piscean energies. Pisces is imaginative, creative, receptive and peace-loving. Pisces governs mysticism, spirituality, intuition, dreams and psychic abilities. Additionally, Jupiter is conjunct Uranus at 28 degrees of Pisces. Jupiter, the great benefactor, opens us to higher understandings and knowledge. It helps us to see how the information we take in, through learning processes, becomes knowing and wisdom. While Uranus is direct in Pisces and Jupiter is conjunct Uranus, the veils are thin. With this gateway now open, you may be able to see or get a glimpse of what you know, of who you really are. Now you can sense and experience this more clearly. You may notice certain abilities or talents you have that you hadn’t paid much attention to before. You may see things out of the corner of your eye. Pay extra attention to your hunches and intuition. Messages about your path and life direction could be coming out of nowhere. Remember, the veils are thin and so more can get through. But we must be attentive to what is ethereal and subtle. Watch your dreams, the words to a song you hear, a book that falls off your shelf or in a variety of other ways. The Universe is trying to get through. All of these prompts and gut feelings will help you reach your highest you if you pay attention and allow the energy to move you. Anything IS possible.

The planet of action, energy and movement transits the sign of the achiever, Capricorn. As we close the year out, we can tie up some loose ends and begin to move into the new year. Mars represents our physical drives, aggression, passions, motivation and self-assertion. In Capricorn, Mars is more conservative, pragmatic, and purposeful. Capricorn is a sign that doesn't just accomplish its goals, but does so with presence and command. Each decision and action must reflect success. The margin for error is little to none. Capricorn ideals work hard at ensuring there are results to actions -- expected results.

With all of these energies in mind, it's a great time to receive the ethereal and put into physical action, whether a creative idea, a business move or a state of mind. This is a clear wide open window.
