Deep­er insights into our val­ues are made avail­able to us now. We dis­cov­er more about our­selves when we are forced to make a choice between less­er and greater values.

We were faced with a chal­lenge about some issue back in August that seems to be work­ing out now. The preser­va­tion of our most mean­ing­ful val­ues requires that we make adjust­ments about more minor points. We are will­ing to do this because, in order to suc­ceed, we need to be sup­port­ed by others.

The real­i­ty we must acknowl­edge now is that each side has to com­pro­mise. Give some­thing up and you will gain much more. You will achieve a deep­er union with your­self and with each other.

We should expect tan­gi­ble help from those in author­i­ty because of  the Sun Sex­tile to Sat­urn. It is a good day for steady accom­plish­ment. We find it eas­i­er to apply our­selves, espe­cial­ly in group or part­ner­ship activ­i­ties. We are guid­ed by our plans for the future which unfold through the sup­port of our agree­ments made in September.

We are work­ing hard as the year ends and there is no rest in sight for now. Mars mov­ing into Capri­corn cre­ates an atmos­phere, until Jan­u­ary 15th, of seri­ous efforts direct­ed towards accom­plish­ment. It is time to dis­play ambi­tion and focused activ­i­ty. The mantra now is: work, work, work! But do not for­get to pace your­self. More time spent work­ing hard means you need to set aside more time to rest and relax. To act respon­si­bly means you must also take care of yourself!

The New Moon in Sagit­tar­ius ini­ti­ates our next month­ly theme. We now need to under­stand and explain our dis­cov­er­ies in the pre­vi­ous month. We do this by seek­ing for answers to be found in Reli­gion, Phi­los­o­phy and Sci­ence. We need to make sense of our expe­ri­ences, share our knowl­edge and expand our frames of ref­er­ence. We do this for our­selves and for the future.

As the days grow ever short­er and the light is fad­ing, we seek to find com­fort in the answers that our ances­tors pro­vid­ed for us. We also need to add to that wis­dom and pass on our con­tri­bu­tion to those that fol­low. At this turn­ing of the wheel, we must fol­low the injunc­tion: Seek the truth, be your truth.

Mer­cury con­junct Plu­to cre­ates a very intense envi­ron­ment for think­ing and com­mu­ni­cat­ing. Tremen­dous and deep insights are avail­able about the struc­ture of our real­i­ty and the nature of our respon­si­bil­i­ties in it. Use this men­tal pow­er wisely

How­ev­er, we may stum­ble into the error of feel­ing so pro­found and so “right” that we are not recep­tive enough to anoth­er point of view. We may feel that we must be right, and oth­ers must believe it too. We must con­vince the oth­er, because after all, we are absolute­ly sure of the cor­rect­ness of our point of view.

Instead, you should use the pow­er of Plu­to to exam­ine the real­i­ty of your own think­ing more deeply. Pen­e­trate beyond your assump­tions and find a deep­er mean­ing about the nature of real­i­ty. Ful­fill your respon­si­bil­i­ty to be a self-reflec­tive thinker who knows that you must chal­lenge your own assump­tions if you want to move beyond this world of illusion.

Be care­ful! This is not a time to be hasty or impatient.…slow down or you will make a mis­take you will regret. Tem­pers can flare up, words could go too far. You will be upset or angry about the truth, your truth, and end up harm­ing your­self or another.

A square brings a sit­u­a­tion to a deci­sion point. The chal­lenge here is that our per­son­al actions or desires are being shaped by Uranus. Mars in Sagit­tar­ius wants to act in a very direct and straight­for­ward man­ner, to act in per­fect free­dom because, after all, “truth” is on our side.  If tak­en too far, if we allow the neg­a­tive side of being pushed by Uranus to man­i­fest, we can act so “right­eous­ly” that we com­mit a wrong.

Uranus in Pisces actu­al­ly comes in to remind us that, in fact, in order to be free you must also be com­pas­sion­ate. Our actions must be guid­ed by the under­stand­ing that whomev­er you are deal­ing with…that per­son is fun­da­men­tal­ly the same as you. Your “free­dom” to be or do some­thing can­not come at the expense of anoth­er. Rather, we must act with imag­i­na­tion, cre­ativ­i­ty and love in order to make a space we can be free in, together.

Our desires rise to answer a whis­per from beyond. Inspired actions can bring dreams into real­i­ty. Right action is guid­ed by the soul’s inner light, which unites us all in one greater reality.

You can make your dreams come true now. Act in truth with those who imag­ine a world that will be bet­ter for one and all. Join in fel­low­ship and com­mon pur­pose and find  hap­pi­ness through com­pan­ion­ship. Dream, believe and act as one.
