Like a compressed coil suddenly sprung loose, watch for Jupiter's advance into Sagittarius to produce quite the bounce! Whatever has been brewing or stewing is about to make its presence much, much better known. Whether a newly found resilience prompts your forward momentum, or whether you find yourself swept-up by the rising currents, the sheer force of the wave is likely to catapult you a considerable distance beyond the here and now. This is not a time to hold back, or to put veneers over your dreams or essential needs. It is a time for absolute/bottom-line honesty, with yourself and with others. The universe does not mess around; it will deliver the straight arrow message. The mission before you is to interpret the symbols correctly, and in order to do that, you have to acknowledge that your vision is limited in scope. How is it that you have come to be here in this moment? You can't know all of the background/all that has been previously created. You may not fully understand the multi-dimensional layers of what it is being created now, or even of what is to come. The only thing you can do is to open up and own-up to your creator self and to the new truths/messages now stirring within you. Last month's clearings and/or reforms have ripened the moment. Massive gains and advances can be achieved now, but there is also a labyrinth to walk - its markings are inflated expectations, projections covetous ambitions and "living out of sync" (somewhere in the future, somewhere in the past.) How can you avoid the pitfalls and boost tomorrow's abundance? Alert mindfulness mixed with rightful intention is the only steering guide that can roll you forward with any consistency. Both truth and your best direction will reveal to you when you listen with open heart and receive without bias. Honour the process and each one of its stages - the future is not an abstract, it's here now - and its evolving with every choice you make.

Jupiter's plus and minus swing is likely to reveal plenty right from the get-go (opportunity or folly) as it makes a square aspect to "zap" planet Uranus by the third week in January. A new puzzle piece is likely to drop into place (direction, dynamic or circumstance). On the personal note, this transit could prompt a lifestyle change or a personal revelation/discovery that can lead to a striking growth of consciousness. Jupiter will travel within orb of the square to Uranus from January through June, and again mid August through the beginning of November, so you can expect reachable opportunity to be an ongoing thing. Of course, things are likely to have a life of their own/can just as easily spin right out of control. Uranus, in square to its own nodes for most of 2007 (as it was for most of 2006), is greatly intensified, especially through to April/May (due to it's proximity to the transiting nodes, and also the conjunctions of Mercury, ruler of the south node and Mars in Pisces.) Jupiter's square to Uranus is sure to produce a lot of mileage in 2007/create a very active year. Jupiter's north node will trine Uranus in July/August and again in late November/December. There probably won't be too many complaints about boredom/about life staying the same! One thing after another can leap out at you - watch for strokes of creative genius, or gifts of divine synchronicity. Then again, you could find things are thrown at you (splat!), with very little time to react and/or recoup your even keel before the next wave hits. Erratic weather extremes are likely to continue. Money markets, with their high susceptibility to the hype of the moment could swing wildly, while hot market consumerism (what will they come up with next?) will keep the general economy in a buoyant state. (There's a gadget for everything now. Our household TV is being rapidly transformed by modern technology, our health industry is too.) Jupiter in aspect to Uranus also suggests there is much more that is now airborne (conceptual or actual) and that there is much more than ever before being pumped into our atmosphere. Radiation levels will continue to skyrocket (Jupiter in Sagittarius is in mutual reception to Pluto), which is sure to put us on a much more rapid growth curve re environmental danger zones.

Yet more shocking revelations or amazing inventions are sure to blaze across the headlines; fortunes or careers can be made overnight, or lost in flash. The political arena is sure to be one area of jitters and twitters - just as soon as you think you know the score, it could flip all over again. Humanitarian activities and science will continue to astound us - hopefully in positive rather than shocking ways. Surely the hungry media will have their work cut out when it comes to getting the word out to the even hungrier masses. Is it Hollywood, or real life? Never before has the collective had such an opportunity to have such a front row view to world-event history in the making. (What a great tragedy that not everyone can turn it off like we westerners can.) In fact, it's now a common choice to choose the cyber version way rather than to attend - monitors/transmitters make globe trotting and getting around your daily life so much easier. I was recently on a road trip, where more people on the bus were watching passing landscape on the monitors in front of them than were looking out the window. We don't even have to experience a real emotion if we don't want to. There's always a readily available alternative to reality. It seems to be boiling down to what we are embracing as reality - is it the experience or the projected/transmitted experience that captures the majority of our attention? Yes, it's all coming to us at lightening speed these days.

Just past the January square to Uranus, Jupiter will next square the lunar nodes (mid February but effective through most of the month.) Wouldn't it be wonderful to leave the minus column of the past behind and build the happily ever after future? Personally and collectively, we'll have key choices to make, revelations to face, and quite likely some major relinquishing to do (it's a threshold time re the relinquishing of smoke screens that help us to avoid our inconvenient truths.) With such a buoyant momentum under way, we could temporarily forget where we've just come from (our past mistakes) and pin our renewed hopefulness on the potentials of building trends. It's a timely cycle (or rather a necessary cycle) for positive roll models to resume the lead - for spokespeople, educators, idealists, ambassadors, missionaries and enlightened beings to champion on behalf of humanity and Gaia. (Have you seen Al Gore's movie yet?) Of course, false prophets know a good opportunity when they see it - yes, they'll be out on the campaign trail too. (Jupiter retrograde will back up to another close but surpassed square to the nodes at the beginning of August.)

Late February/beginning of March, Saturn in retrograde will oppose Neptune yet again. Saturn in Leo direct will make its final opposition to Neptune by June 2007. This off/on again pairing has been slowly grooming a collective restructuring cycle, one which is currently witnessing the progressive dissolving of structural realities and the collapse of institutions previously considered as invincible or absolute, and creating a bi-product of increasing confusion and chaos. This Saturn/Neptune opposition has also been witnessed as the awakening of the collective conscience - and consciousness - to more caring, sharing and inclusion, (largely prompted by the need to respond/to rise to the occasion during natural disasters and to rally actively against the outrage of humanity's atrocities against humanity.) Whether it's the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the common hopes we share, we are slowly coming to recognize how absolutely interwoven we truly are.

Also in March (through May), Jupiter will facilitate (trine) Saturn in Leo, suggesting a growing confidence in those people, places and things where we have already placed our faith and ambitions. Success stories (ours or theirs), artistic endeavours, and spiritual teachers/teachings and undertakings can provide even more inspiration and encouragement, provoking us to reach out beyond our current strongholds and comfort zones. As always, children, lovers and loved ones are our most precious teachers, and our most precious commodities to protect and preserve (they are our future embodied in the here and now.) This Jupiter/Saturn trine can be an especially encouraging time for those newly choosing self-employment and embarking on entrepreneurial lifestyles. Peer group pressure, political campaigners, or church organizations on a membership drive, Jupiter's convince and convert propensity could easily reach evangelical proportions, especially as Jupiter in Sagittarius draws closer to it's conjunction with powered up Pluto in November, 2007. This transit will start the one-year countdown to the US presidential elections. (Mutual reception planets facilitate each other to a maximum expression, so you can expect everything that Jupiter and Pluto energize/deliver to be especially dynamic.)

Pluto is now engaged in an energetic dialogue with the Galactic Centre (the "grand decoder") and will swing back and forth across the degree of the Galactic Centre throughout 2007. This evolutionary transit gives new meaning to the concept of moving along "at the speed of light." We are now entering a key time of seeding for a not too distant future that will soon alter our existing realities beyond what we may be able to fully conceptualize now. 2007 is a feature year, one that should be embraced as fully as you can. Each moment is a universe in the making, and each moment arrives but once. Don't lose it, use it to the max!
