LUNATIONS
By Aphrodette North

FULL MOON occurs on December 2, 2009 at 02:30:27 AM EST
This Full Moon in Gemini opposes the Sagittarian Sun reflecting the chatter and mental activity that goes with the race of holiday activity! Making much contact and traveling both locally and great distances to commune with friends, family and loved ones is seen! Gatherings, storytelling and great humor seem all so appropriate! Make your plans for months end before both Mars and Mercury station retrograde. Give yourself options as they may come in handy at the last minute!

NEW MOON occurs on December 16, 2009 at 07:02:06 AM EST
This beautiful New Moon in Sagittarius is closely accompanied by the Sun and Venus as they form a triple trine to Mars in Leo! Love is happy, joyous and full of positive energy and bustling activity. One word of caution! The Lights form a quincunx with the Tail of the Dragon in the sign of Cancer. Be sure to keep a ceiling on your generosity this holiday season. Respond abundantly - but try to keep debt and buyer's remorse to a minimum. You will thank me later!

BLUE MOON - Partial Lunar Eclipse occurs on December 31, 2009 at 02:12:45 PM EST
Yes, a bonus Full Moon this New Year's Eve! This is the Ice Moon, or the Full Moon following Yule - which is usually in January! There is much legend and lore about the Blue Moon but this particular one packs a powerful punch so that you can truly make a New Year's resolution and actually keep it!! This Full Moon in Cancer opposes both Venus and the Sun in Capricorn. With Mercury and Mars both retrograde, the ghosts of holidays past will indeed be afoot! We will be remembering great traditions of another time as well as faces and places that speak of honor to our ancestors. The practical Capricorn Sun encourages us as it beams off and on the Moon to prepare and finish up the last bit of business before 2010 rings in!
