Dec 31 2008 Last Chance this Year

Moon starts out in Aquarius, goes Void of Course from 10:34 am PST till 4:27 pm PST, when Moon enters Pisces, her home away from home, to welcome in the New Year. Juno is trine/sextile the continuing Saturn/Uranus opposition. Further rounding out the Year, we have a cluster of Heavenly Bodies in a couple of Constellations, Capricorn and Aquarius, so simplistically, if things feel a little lopsided, they are for now. In the morning Moon is conjunct Venus, exact right before VOC, so a good morning for warm fuzzies and cuddles, especially before Saturn goes retrograde, where it will be till May 2009. Being that Saturn has a reputation for, er, sternness, retro may not feel much heavier, just more Saturnish when transited. On a positive note, it is a good evening for partying, as Moon is sextile Pluto, exact at 6:55 pm PST, and sextile Mars, exact at 11:49 pm PST.

The Birthcard today is the Joker by most accounts. Like the Number Zero, it is an enigma, including to itself. Henri Matisse, Anthony Hopkins, Andy Summers, John Denver, Donna Summer, and Val Kilmer are all New Year's eve babies, and therefore share this Birthcard.
