Astrological Insights for 1 December 2009

I’m hoping this day finds you calm and centered. But if you’re not, you’re not alone. There’s a lot stirring in the celestial worlds, which may be inciting feelings of movement and unfolding within. The energy of Uranus, the planet of revolutionary transformation, has been intense the past few days as it has been stationing (seemingly standing still). Today, at 12:27 pm PST it turns direct–it has been retrograde since July 1–and with that we may experience surges of out-of-the-blue notions and manifestations. It’s not that Uranus wants to catch us off guard for the fun of it, rather it’s to impart us with insights that help us go down a new path, the road less traveled, so that we can be a more full expression of who we truly are. As Uranus relates to chaos, some people feel a sense of tension when its energetic presence is strong; yet remember that disorder can be liberating as it helps to create a more freedom-inspiring sense of order.

In the afternoon, at 2:04 pm PST, Venus moves into the love-of-the-journey Sagittarius where she will reside for the next several weeks. Her foray into this meaning-questing sign resonates nicely with another astrological event of the day, that of the Sagittarius/Gemini Full Moon (for more on the Full Moon see this post).

I wish you a peaceful and enlightening day. Remember that growth often pulls us out of our perceived safety zone for a while yet it yields a life that is ultimately filled with a greater sense of peace and joy.
