Triple Water Astrology – The Critical Degree! Weekly Horoscope – Week Starting Friday, December 12, 2014

Please like my page at http://www.facebook.com/triplewaterastrology!

The core of the solar system, our Sun, conjuncts the Galactic Center by the end of the week. What an opportunity to focus our consciousness on acting in harmony with the purpose of the galaxy! The immense size, expansiveness, and wonder of our galaxy can be felt to a greater degree in the collective consciousness this week.

Saturn, the lord of karma, also prepares to leave the intense Scorpio sign after this week. The Sun conjunct the Galactic Center on December 17 and 18 is quite a contrast with Saturn in the last degree of Scorpio. Behind the scenes authority has a last gasp this week as the bright light of the Sun gives a sense of optimism and mirth in Jupiter’s sign.

What does this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

Aries
The electric, wild Uranus is a heavy influence for you this week. So excitement is front and center this week, which can be stimulating and fun, but beware burnout. Pacing yourself this week is a good idea. Relationships become more important as the week progresses. An effort made to balance with other people, particularly your significant other, can be very rewarding. Venus (cooperation) and Neptune (spirituality) have subtle influences for you this week, and Poseidon (wisdom, insight) enters the picture again for you on December 18. With all of the potential chaos this week, you may find that turning to spirit is a nice antidote to the worse side of Uranus, if necessary. Just for Aries: Feeling tenacious this week? Watch for loose ends that might trip you up.

Taurus
A feeling of “all business” and operating under the thumb of a powerful person or structure permeates this week for you. This is an especially poignant theme on December 16 and 17; watch for (and watch out for!) very high level authorities somehow in play, especially at work. This is also your opportunity to shine in your area of specialty, however. Past unpleasant issues might surface on December 12 and 13…self-reliance is one way to deal with the beginning of the week this week. A strong, earthy emotional base is also a plus on these days. The potential for disruptions also become stronger as the week progresses. Being committed and relying on your stable Sun in Taurus will help you navigate this up and down week. Just for Taurus: thinking about how to “play the game” might work to your favor!

Gemini
The theme of Sun conjunct the Galactic Center is close to home for you this week. Enjoy life’s wonder, expansion, and inspiration this week, especially on December 14 and 15. This week is a shift for you; a more serious, business-like, and accomplishment-oriented feel to life occurs after December 16. Despite the Galactic Center influence in mid-week, December 17 is perhaps the best day of the week for you! An opportunity to use your communication skills and knowledge in your career and job to be successful. Jupiter’s benefic influence is very strong at the beginning of the week, so take advantage of favors, mentors, and unexpected fortune before the December 16 turnover. Just for Gemini: body language is more important than usual to your adept communication skills this week.

Cancer
You have a nice opportunity to be creative at both the beginning (December 12) and the end (December 18) of the week. December 16 is an opportune day for planning and focusing your efforts in both personal and professional life, and strategizing for the future. The feminine energies are also strong for you on December 15 and 16 – collaborative efforts might pay off more than usual. December 17 can be a great day, however, watch out for too much on your plate that day! A lot of energy and power available for activity and accomplishment this week, especially in the second half of the week. Just for Cancer: how can you avoid history repeating itself this week?

Leo
Jupiter, the minor Sun, is still well-connected, to your ruling planet, the Sun, this week. After this week, it’s basically over. But what a run! Continue to enjoy Jupiter’s blessings this week. December 14 and 15 are prime days for enjoying immediate and extended family contacts. The last two days of the week, December 17 and 18, are days to express your creativity, strong identity, and joi de vivre. Even varied points of view and different perspectives than your own add spice and variety to the week. If one storm cloud must be pointed out in the bright blue sky of your week, do be aware of overindulgences. Just for Leo: How will you handle competition this week?

Virgo
Your earthy, precise mode of thought becomes refreshed after December 16. This does not diminish the strong potential your mind has until the December 16 date. You might find a renewed, heightened appreciation of art around December 13. On December 15 and 16, the stability, force, and structure of intellectual tasks works strongly in your favor. Early in the week – on December 12 and 13 – the emotional life is at the forefront, in contrast to the rest of the week. Your flexible, adaptable, and practical nature will help you cope with the various changing emphases this week. The changes present greater than average opportunities to advance and excel, however. Just for Virgo: are you determined enough to start fresh, if need be?

Libra
December 15 and 16 are a kind of retreat for you this week, with the emotional life in unity with your consciousness. Balancing with authority figures is a pronounced theme for you this week, with December 17 most prominent for dealing with authority. As the week goes on, a feeling of reluctantly drawing closer to power becomes stronger. The ambivalence is rather interesting…how can you balance with power and authority, when the relationship seems rather awkward and one-sided? Creativity and spirituality can help sustain you, especially towards the middle of the week. More of a week to prioritize a bit of rest and reflection. Just for Libra: If you’re feeling left out this week, don’t feel alone! Look for support from those in similar situations.

Scorpio
Changes are on the horizon for you with Saturn about to leave your home sign of Scorpio. The advantage of the structure and order Saturn brings is contrasted with his restrictions. Another major planetary player, Uranus, is also particularly pronounced for you this week. Although Uranus can bring nice surprises, he is disruptive and often the surprises are not so good! You are used to changes, however. How will you use your reserve of power this week to navigate the Saturn-Uranus combination? The “transformational spirituality” theme is still in force for you through most of the week; and you have a chance to consolidate your emotional life with your intense, watery core at the end of the week. Perhaps not an easy week – but also perhaps the kind of challenge you enjoy! Just for Scorpio: is this the week to surpass the expectations of others – and yourself?

Sagittarius
The week starts with a burst of Mercury’s influence – communication and interaction with your immediate environment is front and center for you on December 12. You also are well attuned to your core self this week. Relationships are still a prominent theme for you, as is struggling with various types of structure. With such a Jupiter influence based on your Sun’s sign, Saturn entering Sagittarius could be a time of great productivity and achievement for you. Venus in Saturn’s sign instead of yours this week gives less influence to cooperation and other people. Uranus’ disruption is perhaps more influential than usual, especially at the beginning of the week. Still, enjoy the week, with the core of the solar system in your sign all week. Just for Sagittarius: how have you been inspiring to other people lately?

Capricorn
‘Networking’ is perhaps the best word to describe this week’s theme for you. A potentially great week for business and accomplishment, but don’t forget to enjoy life as well! The start of the week shows promise for great endurance, but also beware the trap of spinning your tires…that is when networking and collaboration will work especially well in your favor. By the end of the week, drive and determination might feel great but another trap might be sprung – compulsion! Communication and interaction with others integrates well with your need for achievement this week, if you make an effort to make it work. Career, work, and nothing but career and work seem to be in store for you this week, especially towards the end of the week. Paying attention to your emotional life on December 15 and 16 can provide a needed rest and sense of balance. Just for Capricorn: Tact and caution with words can pay off this week.

Aquarius
Relationships look ambiguous for you this week. At times, a feeling of harmony, then especially closer to the end of the week, feelings of conflict. On December 17 and 18, the potential for generating innovative ideas and having flashes of insight increases. The tradeoff is, you must do substantial work and give effort to achieve insights and ideas. December 15 and 16 is an interesting opportunity to balance with other people in relationships and friendships. Again, effort must be made to compromise or see the other person’s point of view, but the effort might be well worth it. All of the ambiguities underscore the struggle between your ruling planet, Uranus, and Pluto, in tense aspect for some time. Using your keen mind to determine how to benefit from the tensions in your life can help you move forward and be better for the effort. Just for Aquarius: are you intuiting what other people are thinking?

Pisces
If creativity is starting to feel restricted, consider how that might be used to your advantage – Neptune can benefit from structure! This week is not bad for relationships, especially around December 14. Also pay attention to your emotional life and need to balance with other people on December 12 and 13. Mental activities become more prominent and fast-paced by the end of the week. The emotions feel watery and in harmony with your Pisces identity by week’s end on December 18 – how will you reflect and relax on that day? Overall a rather placid week, but also perhaps a welcome break from more intense times. Just for Pisces: aren’t friendships beautiful?
