What a week... A full moon, a lunar Eclipse, a sun sign change...

The celebration of Christmas!

All getting started...with what looks like... Planetary aspects lined up to give us... another few days of struggles, and controversy!

So when you are feeling confused and a bit cranky, early this week...

You can just..."Blame It On The Stars"

Yes, that strange fluctuating mood, you may find yourself in this, Monday, DEC. 20, 2010 is like the Ebb and flow of the tide!

One minute up and the next down? And in fact, it actually is... the natural rhythm on all of us...from Monday's almost full moon... along with some negative significant aspects, that it is making to other celestial bodies...

Giving us a somewhat, roller coaster Monday! For all signs! Which is just setting the stage for our... Winter solstice, on Tuesday, DEC. 21, 2010!

Also being accompanied with... the rare event of a lunar Eclipse! So rare, on that date... that NASA data claims.. the last winter solstice with a lunar Eclipse was DEC 21, 1638?

This year's event will take 3 hours and 38 minutes of early Tuesday! Beginning at 1:33 a.m. EST, when the Earth's shadow will turn up just on the edge of the moon, according to NASA. Then it will take about an hour for the shadow to cover the entire moon! Totality begins, at 2:41 a.m. and lasts for 72 minutes....

NASA also claims that total lunar eclipses during winter in the northern hemisphere is fairly common...but a lunar eclipse falling precisely on the date of the solstice is quite rare! However, we won't have to wait 372 years for the next one! Because the next one... occurring on that date will be just 84 years...happening on DEC. 21, 2094.

Best time for viewing, again according to NASA is.... if you only have time for a quick look, that you take a peek 3:17 a.m. EST. That's when the moon will be fully covered...and it is just after the moon is at its fullest, occurring at, 3:14 AM EST. All brewing things up astrologically on us, even if you are sleeping, it can tug at you!

Which can have you feeling cranky and emotional when you awaken and start your day on Tuesday!

Especially if you happen to be born under the signs of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, Libra, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius.

But all signs will have to deal with unexplained annoyances most of Tuesday. At 6:38 PM the Sun will start its cycle in the Earth practical sign of Capricorn, beginning the time that nature in our area has its time of sleep. Which is why our own personal lives become more reclusive and use the season of winter to attend to our more serious survival skills.

So that is maybe why Tuesday night, you find yourself taking stock of what you have, and what you do not have. Effecting your general mood!

With a bad mood following you right into Wednesday, DEC. 22, 2010. And between 6 and 9 a.m., it would be wise to use extra care in all you are doing. That is the time that the moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet of restriction Saturn, judgment will be off... and the way we deal with disappointments can be explosive! Caution!

Thursday, DEC 23, 2010...at 7:51 a.m. EST, the moon entering the fire sign of Leo, I am happy to say... can brighten things up a bit...with the fire and air signs of Leo, Sagittarius, Aries, Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini, getting the biggest boost! However, all signs can find Thursday's mood better, and able to at last accomplish those last minute Holiday shopping chores.

Friday DEC. 24, the day before Christmas...Looks mostly positive, with the Leo moon in good aspect to the planets, Saturn and Mercury, we should be thinking more optimistically, and clearly. Just try not to let it get out of hand, as the moon's fire may tend to have you over-do... bringing unnecessary spending, on impulse buying?

Saturday DEC. 25, 2010. A Merry Christmas Everyone...the stars are cooperating to give us, what I see is the best day of the week! With a harmony aspect between the Capricorn sun and a Virgo moon! Putting our inner self and outer self more at peace...

which is what Christmas is all about!!! Peace On Earth And Good Will toward Men! All signs will benefit! And the signs of Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, are in line for some very nice Santa surprises!

Sunday, DEC. 26, 2010, tops off our weekend, on a see saw... with a few positive morning aspects, where things in general seem to go well... and then evening negative moon aspects... bringing mix-ups, and change of plans, that might just dampen our spirits.

Is it the weather that's changed... causing problems... or is it snarled communication?

Just try to stay open and flexible, and use extra caution traveling Sunday, to end your Christmas weekend, happily!
