Looking at the next 2 months ahead, it's actually a relatively quiet time astrologically. I know the Uranus/Pluto square is in orb and is obviously affecting our times (they-are-a-changin') on large scale/Collective ways, plus we are currently dealing with Mercury Retro in Sag (another big effect I'm noticing of this Mercury Retro period is the "will you make up your mind? [usually reserved for Geminis and Libras] effect." Even when we make up our minds, it seems like someone or some circumstance forces us to change it. And it's also eclipse season. To me however, the next big event in the heavens will be Mars turning retrograde in Virgo on January 25th. I, personally, have a very hard time when Mars goes Retro every two years or so for about two-and-a-half months - much harder than Mercury Retro periods. I noticed the world does too, but I'm not sure if most are aware why/what type of energy we are dealing with, and what to expect and how to proceed. I'm definitely concerned about this one coming up and plan to do a full blog on it, so stay tuned.
That all being said, this is a quiet week, but it does feature a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Saturday and Uranus turning direct.
Monday starts the week off with a stable, harmonious trine between Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo. This should amp up our creativity and our desire to relate to others/the opposite sex, but in grounded/practical ways. This is also a time when we find it easier to put what we value into action, and plans we make for doing so will be well thought out/methodically approached. Our social interactions should run smoothly today, if nothing else.
Tuesday has Jupiter in Taurus in a gentle sextile with Chiron in Pisces which could afford us some opportunities to learn about ourselves in new ways by absorbing the lessons others bring us and prodding ourselves to look at things in a different light.
Thursday's Sun sesiquadrate Jupiter warns you may be trying to take too much on as the weekend approaches. It will be easy to overextend yourself, make promises you can't keep/boasts that exaggerate reality, overbearing philosophical discourses, take bad risks/gambles, etc., as the good feelings you are having can easily turn into over-exuberance.
Friday has Uranus turning direct in Aries. As its Promethean energy starts to move forward and pick up pace over the weeks (and head for the 1st exact square to Pluto), expect individual acts of rebellion/revolution around the world to increase, and don't be surprised if authorities strike back with violence/a fight. In fact, this can easily turn into a conflagration of violent revolution wherever tension has been building up in the world. The same can be said in our personal lives: you may find yourself striking out assertively/aggressively for your own independence in acts of rebellion.
The big event of the week is the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 18* Gemini, whose ruler, Mercury, is retrograde right now. On the 3rd/9th axis, this Full Moon will be about information and what we do with it; value systems and how they must be stretched; expanding our horizons with what we now know; to take some kind of daring leap towards the new future. The danger is to lose yourself on superficial levels emotionally on all the new things/views being brought to you these days and really not doing much with it personally but just basking in the ideas of it. The key is to grasp onto what inspires you the most and push it out to some new edge where you will find a new creative self/outlet. Look to the houses in your chart where 18* Gemini/Sagittarius are to see what areas of life this will most affect personally for you and to any planets from 17-19* in your chart that may be aspecting the Full Moon and thus coloring its energy for you.

Remember back in late July/early August when Congress held the US captive over its indecision to come up with a budget/deficit plan? I had noted then that any strategy they'd come up with would ultimately fail due to the Mercury Retro period they were making the agreement under. That agreement was to create the Super-Committee to come up with the needed plan. Well, we just saw how that failed, just like the bail out plan that was made during a Mercury Retro period after the stock market crashed in October 2008 that was supposed to rescue the US economy also failed (the 99% anyway). This week we have another financial crisis in the world coming to a head over at the European Union. If they make some decision/agreement this week or during Mercury Retro in Sag, just stamp "Fail" across it in big red letters! I believe after the holidays, especially with Mars going retrograde too, there's a good possibility we'll see another downturn in world's economy.

Next week, Mercury goes direct!
