Over the next 2 weeks, you'll wrap up the exploration of new ideas and start to weave together all of those details from the Mars retrograde. The Mercury portal opens on Dec. 12 and this begins our 7 week journey for bringing it all together.

It will take effort and patience to determine which details are crucial for meeting everyone's needs in this framework. Consider getting half of the work done between now and the end of the year. Wouldn't you consider that a win for now?

At my last Coffee & Charts call, I offered these additional tips for moving with the global flow:

• On Dec. 7, the Full Moon in Gemini (Sun in Sagittarius) gets a little oomph when the Moon also crosses over Mars. If you or someone close has a natal tool at 16°, be prepared for some venting.

• On Dec. 12, the Mercury portal opens at 8° Capricorn. Assembling the details from the Mars portal into a structure begins. Because the range of degrees of this portal are the same as those of the Mars portal (8-24°), we'll be using the same tools for both portals. This will be come even more apparent in mid-January when Mercury and Mars are between 8-9°.

• On Dec 16, Venus enters the Mercury portal at 8° Capricorn. Look for some buy-in about the framework you are talking about or discussing.

• On Dec 17, the Sun passes through 25.5° Sagittarius, opposite the end of the Mars portal. It's time to wrap up any new endeavors or ideas - what you have is good enough for the details you have so far.

• On Dec 20, Jupiter enters the sign of Aries. If you've paid attention to who gets you or is on the same page as you, then you have the audience who is noticing you. They are primed to hear your message. Ask them to participate in your growth - they have a vested interest in your success!

May these tidbits be helpful for you on your journey!
