*Forecast
*****************************************************************************
This solar eclipse will bring Sagittarius energy which is upbeat and optimistic combined with a grand sense of adventure. It is the best time for expanding your horizons and visualizing your goals for 2003. Think big, but don't invest huge amounts of money right away unless you are certain your plan is practical and well thought out. The Jupiter retrograde gives you the feeling that you can do anything but there can be a "rose-colored glasses" effect of only seeing the most positive outcome. Jupiter and Sagittarius both rule 'higher learning.' Invest in books or classes that will help you explore new possibilities. This is wonderful
energy for parties and can bring helpful people into your life. If
you're doing holiday shopping, watch the tendency to be extravagant.
DECEMBER 19, 2002 - FULL MOON - 27 GEMINI 42 - 1:10 PM CST With the Full Moon conjunct transiting Saturn in Gemini, the mood for several days before and after may be serious or somber. Saturn brings responsibilities, often for elders. Overcome the aloof and distant emotions a Moon-Saturn conjunction can bring to reach out to others who may be lonely at this time. Saturn rules temperature
coldness as well, so expect the weather to be plenty chilly. If your
climate gets snow and ice, be sure to take the time you need to prepare
your car and drive safely.

I've posted my article: "Ten Quick Tips on How to Learn Astrology Fast" on my website at: http://www.marciasacks.com/astrology-fast.htm Here's the first one: 1. BE WILLING TO MEMORIZE I have taught beginning astrology since 1980, and the most difficult concept to get across to adult learners is memorization of the glyphs. Astrology is a language with the symbols of signs, planets and aspects as its alphabet. We don't expect children to be able to read without first learning their ABC's. But if I say to an adult class, after explaining the symbolism of each glyph, "take these home and memorize them" there are moans and groans like I just announced a twenty-mile hike through a leech-filled, mosquito-breeding swamp. It would probably be rude to mention to them that when my older son was two years old he could identify every symbol of planets and signs off a flash card the same way he could the English alphabet. Or that my younger son when he was 9 decided that he wanted to learn astrology and took the handouts from my class to his room for twenty minutes and came back knowing them all. Sure it takes longer for adults. But it's worth it. Just do it. Here are the things I feel must be memorized to move on to further study of astrology: 1. The glyphs for the planets and the basic keyword meanings. 2. The glyphs for the zodiacal signs, their basic keyword meanings, plus a) the order of the signs;
3. The glyphs for the major aspects, their basic keyword meanings, plus a) their opposite sign; b) the squaring signs; c) the trining signs; d) the sextile signs. Practice writing the glyphs (it expands your mental patternings). For the rest of this article please go
