Christmas astrology

Steven Meisel

Okay so what are your Decadence Settings for this holiday season?

Are any of you planning to go totally ape at some party?  Hide out at a health farm for the duration and emerge looking sensational in January whilst all your friends cower on their couches reading self-help books or yet to emerge from their Carb Coma???

My feeling is that the Mutables (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces) will be celebrating Saturn having gotten off their arse. And Pluto too. They will be in a mood to reprise the decadent self of their yesteryear, only with some of their hardwon sagacious wisdom blended in to the madness. They’re thinking strategic pulling, no nonsense and no Qi wasted on twerps or pointless liasions. See? Saturn worked. But make no mistake about it, they’re getting ready to act up.

Those signs currently under the pump of Saturn and Pluto: Aries, Libra, Cancerians and Capricorns will be looking at working way up to the last possible minute, maintaining their health regimens with absolute rigour & trying not to resent the enforced sloth and frivolity too much.

So we’re looking at the Fixed Signs – Aquarius is v.sensitive due to all the Neptunian/Chironic/Jovial action in their sign so they may be adopting a more spiritual-edge celebratory attitude this year. An official love-in. Taurus is – as always – fantastic at relaxing and banqueting, regardless of the occasion. If it’s trad  in their circles to get trashed and dance on the table wearing nothing but a bit of tinsel, then Taurus will do it, no worries.

Scorpio & Leo are both equally determined to do the season on old-school, Saturnalia style; huge floral arrangements, grandiose tie-breaking with all ex-lovers, mead or a version there-of and sex.

Someone should quickly open an Xmas/New Year Retreat for Capricorns who are not in the mood to do Christmas, their birthday, carbs or leisure.
