The month of December is filled with many Sagittarius aspects, creating events that are gearing us up for a major transition into the New Year. By the 8th, we have the line-up of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in the sign of Sagittarius. This shifts the focus of our thoughts, attitudes and events into the Sagittarius sector of our charts. This full sector creates the shift by which we will slide into the New Year of 2007, and begin the NINE universal influence. With NINE being the last year in a nine-year cycle, our focus shifts to endings, to bringing events into conclusion from 1999, the beginning year of this nine-year cycle.
The Full Moon on December 4th brings the Gemini and Sagittarius qualities into a heightened emotional emphasis. Sagittarius rules the inner philosophy and Gemini rules outer communication. This alignment provides the compass needle to show us the way forward, with any misalignment providing the uncertainty of direction. The month of December begins to prompt alignment or uncertainty with the inner and outer alignment or the disparity providing the level of uncertainty. On December 10th, Mercury connects with Mars, and Mercury connects with Jupiter, which brings the information of our alignment to push us into our new direction and the doors of opportunity to open, especially as December 11th holds a Mars and Jupiter connection. This sets the pace for our new energies to move us forward quickly as the Sun spotlights the Pluto power on the 18th, which then takes us into the New Moon on the 20th at the same degree as the Sun spotlights the empowered Pluto energy. Mercury connects with Pluto on the 25th, which brings information about the new direction of our journey and transition into 2007.
The Sun, Mercury and Venus take turns connecting with the powerful planet of Pluto to bring our focus toward our natural direction as we bring this alignment with truth and honesty into our philosophy and understanding. Mars connects with Pluto in January 2007 and Jupiter connects with Pluto in December 2007, all providing to empower our philosophical qualities, bringing them front and center during the transitions of 2007. The doorways that are beginning to be visible are according to the available opportunities of the Sagittarius avenues, as our efforts and commitment have grown while Pluto has been in Sagittarius since 1995. With Jupiter connecting with Pluto in December of 2007 and then both of them moving out of Sagittarius together, the purpose of these two in Sagittarius provide the clues to the upcoming transitions as we move from December 2006 into the Transition Year of 2007. Setting the pace for the New Year, we will have many new opportunities come into our lives as our efforts culminate with doors opening that are a direct result of our efforts. Look to your Sun sign (below) to determine the impact of this Sagittarius culmination and to see which doors are opening.
Your rewards will begin to be collected as Jupiter and Pluto get closer together. This will take about one year, for in December 2007 Jupiter and Pluto will connect exactly at 28' Sagittarius to explode the rewards and results into your life. This opens up the new doorway as you move from December 2007 into the new year of 2008 which is also a ONE year in numerology. This provides the opportunity for everyone to find their new direction for the next nine year cycle and it will ultimately be the theme for the nine years from 2008 – 2017. The more you are able to bring the Sagittarius qualities front and center to show your qualities of philosophy, communication and leadership, you will find the appropriate doors open according to the expression of your philosophy. More exactly, the area in which 28' Sagittarius sits in your chart will designate the reward from the explosion of events in December 2007.
