Micro-Forecast: December 19 to 25, 2011

What a lovely week for reconnecting with family and friends as Winter Solstice sets into motion the seeds for the Spring of 2011. In addition, we have many wonderful aspects between the Sun, Jupiter, and Uranus — suggesting that playing leads to opportunity — a deluge of holiday invitations offers all types of opportunities for more personal relationships. With Jupiter going direct and complimenting the New Moon this is a great week for asking what you want and giving generously. The holidays always bring that out in everyone, but part of the ‘offering’ is helping someone else with an intangible this year rather than a tangible. Let them help you, too. Give and take is what makes the world go ’round.

Venus in Aquarius sextiles Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius and this is an excellent combination encouraging unique connections with each other. The desire to have more excitement can lead to love ‘em and leave ‘em encounters. Maintaining a sense of individual freedom may be strong now. Friendships and group activities that are spontaneous can lead to business or romantic opportunities.
