KAT'S WEEKLY OVERVIEW FOR DECEMBER 14

With a Rebel Yell!
hat's how this week begins. Have you been itching to make a change, a personal statement or to put your unique stamp on a project? Maybe you're fed up with the way things are going and you want to take a stand. The Moon waxing in strength and in freedom-loving, thumb-your-nose-at-convention Aquarius is nothing less than a call to action. So dream big on Monday. That’s when a productive aspect between clever Mercury and imaginative Neptune inspires original thinking and creative solutions. This ingeniousness carries over to Tuesday, when the Moon makes brilliant aspects to innovative Uranus and motivated Mars. Aquarius is not a sign that sits around waiting on the world to change, like some people, (I’m talking to you, John Mayer). This maverick sign incites you to put forth your innovative ideas now.

In Excess?
But do put off important calls/meetings/purchases early Wednesday, as the Void  Moon will last until 12:45p. After that, the Moon moves into Pisces where it will stay until 10:14a Friday. It's very easy to over-imbibe when the Moon is in this permeable sign. Are we more sensitive to intoxicants under this decadent Moon or just more susceptible to overindulging?  Either way, it's a slippery slope so go easy on the libations. Especially at the office holiday party. One minute, you're taking selfies with your team; three gin rickeys later, you're in the supply closet playing tonsil hockey with someone from IT (see sidebar). That scenario is more likely on Wednesday than Thursday, because the Moon will be sidling up to dipsomaniacal Neptune, doubling down on the debauchery.

Thursday's vibe should be a tad more temperate. And with the Moon making lovely aspects to clever Mercury, sexy Pluto and designing Venus it can be very romantic and creative as well. The Moon’s Void most of the work day Friday (10:14a ‑ 4:26p). Happily, it moves into high-spirited Aries in plenty of time to enjoy a festive and fun-filled evening. No party to go to? Throw one! Or crash one! That never-shy Aries energy sparks spontaneity and emboldens us to engage in all sorts of high jinx. Let’s get this party started!

WEEKEND FORECAST
Testy. We could experience the more irascible side of Aries over the weekend, as the Moon squares off with manic Mercury, manipulative Pluto, volatile Uranus and feisty Mars. Steer clear of known hot heads, pals with hair-trigger tempers and those who enjoy engaging you in petty jealousies, or worse, emotional blackmail. Unless of course, you enjoy this sort of drama!
