Dec 21 2009 Solstice

Solstice Greetings to all. As the late, great Benny Hill once said: "The Knights are getting shorter." Moon starts out the day Void of Course, so forget that power lunch today. She "enters" Pisces at 3:42 pm PST, and will be sextile The Sun exact at 4:16 pm PST, sextile Pluto exact at 9:41 pm PST, and oppposite Vesta in the middle of the night. Moon will also be inconjunct Saturn, more WTF possible. Although a strong possibility of a case of the "Mondays" this morning, things will likely pick up later in the day, as we have passed the stillpoint of Solstice, and the potential will begin actualizing as the "momentum" continues. We are headed for another intense set of transits: Juno opposite Saturn, both T-squared by Pluto, and joined by The Sun and Venus for a short while. Just in time for the holidays, likely to correlate with family/home/relationship themes bubbling up to be either looked at, or politely ignored. Your call, but it is suggested that avoidance, even in the name of political correctness, or preserving the peace, or not rocking the boat, is not always a good long term strategy.

Today's Birthcard is the Ten of Hearts, a Jupiter implementation of a Mars core, with a Jack of Clubs inside and a Five of Spades outside. Jane Fonda, Picasso, Avril Lavigne, Frank Zappa, Helen Reddy, Harpo Marx, Pablo Picasso, Richard Byrd, Madame Davia, Wesley Snipes, Dinah Washington, J. K. Rowling, Boris Karloff, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlie Parker, Ingrid Bergman, Sai Baba, Michael Jackson, and Phil Donahue are various examples of expression of this Card.
