Well, here we are, staring down the barrel of a brand new year. A brief moment in time when we say goodbye to the past, and look forward to the future, with optimism, noise-makers, silly hats, and champagne. We know that on many levels, we’ve blown it over the past 365 days, and we believe that if we are but given the chance, we can do better. Unfortunately, for some folks, last year was as good as it gets, and everything from here on out is going to be anticlimactic. But don’t tell them that. It will spoil the surprise.
I can never approach this season of celebration without remembering one special New Years Eve back in 1984. At approximately 6:30 a.m., December 31 of that year, my daughter Lacey was born. With only seventeen and a half hours left on the clock, she made it just under the wire. I called her my little tax deduction.
Forever after that, those seventeen plus hours would place her right smack in the middle of Capricorn. This meant that if she ever grew up to read, she could find out that every person born on December 31, 1984 would have the same traits, feel the same ways, like and dislike the same kinds of people, approach problem-solving the same ways, and always find personalized advice in the newspaper written by some anonymous person who possessed the wisdom of the ages on how to live their lives from day to day. Sad isn’t it?
Bombshell tonight! The recent break-up of Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon has set the whole astrological community on its ear. How could two perfectly paired individuals with Suns in Libra, and both with a Saturnine slant, spiral apart after 23 years? Well, Susan’s 9th house is with Mercury in Libra and Jupiter, as well as Mars in Scorpio, and we all know what that means. With Venus in Scorpio in her mid-heaven, and her Moon in Capricorn on the Ascendant, she just hasn’t got a chance.
On top of that, her Solar Arc Saturn is intersecting her Sun. Oh baby. This does not bode well for Tim. And I shutter to even mention Pluto’s involvement in the whole sordid affair.
To boot, it appears that Tim’s got this 2nd House-Sun in Libra, conjunctive with Venus-Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, and Mars in Gemini on his mid-heaven in a highly determined square to Pluto on his Virgo Ascendant. Oh my! Which brings us to… you guessed it, Uranus. Holy Chicago!
However, on a brighter note, their composite relationship chart indicates an affectionate, adventurous Venus-Jupiter alliance that is jelling like a mammer-jammer with the composite Moon. But hold on. There’s more: A power-struggling Mars-Pluto sextile, and a never-quite-sure Sun-Neptune-Saturn conjunction, promises to bring everything out in the open over the next two years. I kid you not! Call me crazy, but I suspect the fact that, Miss Sarandon (gorgeous though she may be) is ten years older than Mr. Robbins, may have something to do with it.
Now, as for me, I need only heed one bit of advice for the New Year. According to my Astrological Animal (the Tiger), I am warned to (and I quote): “Beware of the Monkey.” Solid words to live by.
Anyway, I’m exhausted. It’s been a long year, and I think I’ll go to bed early tonight. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t change that dial. Oh, and Happy New Year from all the fine folks here at glitchbucket.com.
