Mars is opposing Neptune for a couple days and while it may have several impacts, one is certainly that it is a reminder of the impermanence of life and that what we create dissolves over time. Mars rules our individual efforts. What we each put forth into our own lives and how we go about doing that. And while Mars is busily working away, creating something or another, Neptune is always in the background, preparing to dissolve that very creation–when it is time.
Think of building a sand castle at waters edge. You work away, watching your creation take shape. But then, the inevitable occurs…the tide (ruled by Neptune) comes in and after a few waves, dissolves that which you worked so hard for–returning the grains of sand–all those bits of effort you put into it–to the sea. And isn’t it interesting that you can’t build that sand castle away from the water line, out of harms way. No, we need the water in the sand to form the castle. It’s that inspiration that Neptune provides that is the key to our creations. (Neptune’s influence is most inspiring).
So now, during this time of Mars opposing Neptune, and also Jupiter at the last degree of Pisces, we are in between creations. Perhaps you are feeling a urge to create something new in your life, yet can feel at some level, it is not quite time for it. If so, you are surely being

Managing or controlling the known is hard enough and when it comes to the unknown, well, it’s darn near impossible. Astrologically, that is up big time this month. Allow me to explain…
Saturn is the planet that rules our plans and agendas. It can have us thinking that we know what is coming based on a particular action 
one takes. And sometimes, this is, in fact, the way it works out. And sometimes, it just isn’t. Our plans and agendas get way laid by the unknown. This impact may range from a pesky diversion to an out right major event that changes everything we thought we had “under control”.
And this month, there are two aspects impacting Saturn’s agendas:
Uranus is opposing Saturn all month and Neptune is quincunx it. Either can impact our plans in ways that change our course, but both acting on Saturn, all month long, well, the least I can say is expect the unexpected.
This doesn’t mean all is for naught regarding your current focus and itineraries. It just means they may change, and in very unexpected ways.

Every so often there is a combo of celestial events that really gets my attention and one such time is occurring in the 
3rd week of December. Here is what is happening:
- Mars in Leo is stationing retrograde on the 20th (while opposing the Moon, btw. More on that in AstroLite in a few days).
- Jupiter is conjunct Neptune on the 21st.
- The Sun enters Capricorn, which is the Winter Solstice in the No. Hemisphere.
At the least, you can expect to be busy, overwhelmed and excited all at the same time. I have lots more info on this at AstroCurrents on these influences and how they will affect us.
Mark your calendar to check back around that time for up-to-the-minute insights as to this most dynamic of influences.
