New Moon in Sagittarius Expect to be Surprised

This month’s New Moon in late Sagittarius occurs at 7:02 AM, Wednesday, December 16, 2009. The New Moon sets the tone for the Lunar month. At the New Moon the Sun and Moon are together in the sky and the Moon is not visible in the night sky. At this New Moon the Sun and Moon are in close configuration with the master of surprise, Uranus. Where the planets fall in a horoscope, what “house” they occupy offers clues to how the energies will play out. At this Lunation houses one, two and three are occupied and events and actions related to those houses will hit the headlines and grab our attention. Strong emphasis is placed on the first house, as this is where the lunation occurs. The first house rules the people, the state of the nation, domestic affairs, public opinion and grassroots campaigns. The second house is all about the money, the national debt, the economy, trade, and all financial transactions. Traffic and transportation fall under the purview of the third house, along with reporters, newspapers and all forms of communication. I expect the people to be very vocal about their concerns, probably after the Senate enacts important legislation on Christmas or New Years Eve. Sudden unexpected power outages, traffic jams and the interruption of the smooth flow of public transportation and information are all possible when Sun, Moon and Uranus are involved. Mars across the Zodiac in aspect to second house Jupiter and Neptune speaks to greedy bankers, national debt, the budget and international finance. With Jupiter and Neptune together in the money house, it’s the case of the disappearing dollar. With Mars going retrograde on the 20th I expect repayment of debts owed to the nation to be delayed. Think TARP. Also think, unusual, unexpected, and innovative and beware religious or political fanatics.
