Saturn Retrograde in Virgo
Restructuring Life's Daily Business
Through May 16
In the final hours of the old year, Saturn became the first planet to retrograde, ending the rare succession of weeks when we had no planets in retrograde. That was the case for all of December (save the last few hours on the 31st). And with that Mutable T-square during Sagittarius breathing down our necks, I swear I don't know how we'd have gotten everything done that did happen without that extra little cosmic boost with everything going full-speed ahead.

Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn
Close on the heels of the Venus / Neptune conjunction, as the dawn of 2009 shimmered on the horizon, Mars, newly arrived in Capricorn, got down to some serious business with its own conjunction to Pluto -- also a recent arrival in this industrious, ambitious sign.

Venus conjunct Neptune in Aquarius
As the Christmas excitement finally began to wane, Venus met gracefully with Neptune in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius. It's hard to imagine a more appropriate aspect for the spirit of the season than this lovely Venus / Neptune conjunction. (The only one more fitting would be for it to fall in the sign Pisces ... and we'll get to that in a few more years. Humankind will have a chance to discover its most charitable soul feelings once a year for nearly 15 years when it comes ... but that's a celebration for the future.)

Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn
Trine Saturn in Virgo Sextile Uranus in Pisces
Oooooooook, ... along with the Christmas / New Year's hustle, Mercury arrived at the conjunction with Jupiter / trine with Saturn / sextile with Uranus we've all been waiting for. (Well, I sure have, anyway!!) That sets off that falling line of dominoes as the Sun and Mars follow in his tracks through Capricorn -- and Mercury himself retrogrades back into this lovely position in late January -- just for good measure.
For those of you who don't look at charts as often or as closely as I do, this pattern may not look a whole lot better than some you've seen lately. But trust me ... it really, really, really, really IS!!
