From Me to We: Nov-Dec 2016 New Moon

New Moon November 29/30 2016 carries a complex array of extra energies

Being a Sagittarian sun-moon conjunction means Jupiter is very important - but this time the Jupiter energy is not able to escape from reality checks

• Saturn -the great confronter is in tight connection.
• Saturn energy will arise in the form of checks and balances needing to be in place to ensure that the expansive, optimistic, carefree, indulgent urges associated with Jupiter are held up to scrutiny to see where they need to be modified.
• Saturn will express in the body -aches pains, blockages, failures - with the back, neck, knees, skin, teeth all particularly typical of Saturn restrictions or problems
• In Sagittarius Saturn also reduces functions of the liver
• Saturn restrains free-ranging [Jupiter] energy while in Sagittarius - enforces a focus -usually involving demanding work, hard work, difficult work
• The benefit of the current Saturn in SAG-Jupiter in Libra pairing is happy unions
• Jupiter attracts positive connections/relationships/partnerships while in Libra
• Saturn assists Jupiter's good omens by saying focus on this opportunity, grow it, nurture it - rein in your free ranging style and make a commitment to this
• Uranus in Aries opposite Jupiter says time to make significant personal changes and go from me to we
• Pluto in Capricorn linking to Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus says this is serious, this is a major turning point in your life: you will be forever changed by this if you open to what is offered
• All combined this power-package of personal growth is saying: time to grow up, accept the discipline, commitment and growth that you need -through the dynamic of partnership

A significant number of people will be on this personal growth wavelength in December 2016

In fact many will make the full commitment by late November and deepen it further even to the point of legalising it in December.

This is primarily but not exclusively private relationship energy -it also can involve any partnership related to a focus - business, therapeutic - anywhere a team approach is beneficial and commitment is essential.

Neptune also cannot be ignored in the effective time period of this New Moon. [26 November-29 Dec]

The effects of Neptune strengthened from its direct movement in the third week of November and then this 8 degree New moon captures Neptune at 9 degrees and the lunar nodes at 8 degrees.

• Any energy expressions of Neptune increase their potency - e.g.
• All forms of water gain in their elemental force
• risks associated with water increase -eg capsize
• drugs, alcohol, addictive chemicals or substances all create higher risk factors
• problems involving poisons, gases, chemicals
• sensitive people more sensitive
• sleep more of an issue and dreams more significant; too sleepy or sleepless, foggy mind
• potential for faith/religion or deluded beliefs, extreme views, causing destructive behaviour

Negative outcomes arise when particular people's personal energy is aggravated by prevailing energies

The same planets that offer positive potentials for many will be aggravating to others.

With four powerful planets combining the potential for destructive outcomes fuelled by unhealthy beliefs remains high.

This means that with strong forces in effect, December must also be considered, within a global context, to be a time frame requiring vigilance and self care regarding not only environmental threats - forces of nature - but also risks arising from volatile people.

Whenever here are multiple planets in the mutable signs - Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces - because mutables are about flow and movement  - there are likely to be transport accidents, breakdowns, general travel issues. This period late Nov 2016 coincides with Saturn, Neptune, Sun, Moon, lunar nodes all in mutables.
