Saturn

Saturn is Capricorn's Ruling Planet, which means it is at its greatest strength when it falls in Capricorn or in the 10th House. Saturn represents your challenges, barriers, and life issues. Many astrologers discuss Saturn with a “you poor thing” look in their eyes. However, Saturn is a great helper. Saturn helps you separate what is real and appropriate in your life from that which is not.

The Tenth House, Career

The Tenth House represents your public image and career. The world sees you according to the sign on the tenth house cusp (also called the Midheaven). Capricorn's rulership ensures that you will find big business, government, and other administratively heavy organizations in this area of the chart.

Top Five Astro-Events for December
1. The New Moon in Sagittarius takes place on December 9, and features the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction at the Midheaven over Washington D.C. and New York City. Look for the wealthiest plutocrats to be making news, as they shape politics, business, and the publishing world with their considerable influence. Expect major mergers and acquisitions.

2. Jupiter and Pluto are conjunct on December 11, but this combination is in effect all month. For many, Jupiter-Pluto brings an enhanced interest in the Big Picture and a feeling of faith, trust, and spiritual growth, while others go overboard with self-righteousness and smugness. Those with planets connected to this pairing may experience phenomenal personal growth.

3. Jupiter enters Capricorn on the 18th, marking the beginning of a new age of social conservatism centered on national and economic security. The 19th and 20th feature a Sun-Mercury-Pluto triple conjunction, inspiring power plays by authority figures as they overcome vulnerable opponents. Expect big moves, important transitions, and major geopolitical events, especially in business and politics.

4. The Full Moon (December 23) occurs as Mars opposes the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter from the 22nd through 26th. The strong Mars vibration over these five days can make some people edgy, moody, and hyper-defensive, while the more adventurous will enjoy plenty of playful competitiveness. Attack politics may make the holidays seem like a war zone.

5. Mars opposes Pluto on January 2, but this astro-event is so powerful that it will be in effect for the last ten days of December. Expect major transportation snarls, and for many, an internalized sense of rage. Sports events will likely be intensely competitive, and bring an unusual number of severe injuries. Violence in global hotspots is likely.

Professor Claims Proof Of Star Of Bethlehem
By Maria Arita ― The Star of Bethlehem has befuddled scholars throughout the ages. Now, a Texas law professor claims to have scientific proof that the Star was real, and not purely biblical myth. He has another major discovery as well, which resulted from his study of the Star.

Texas A&M adjunct law professor Frederick Larson began researching the Star after putting up a nativity scene for his daughter. The lawyer in him, Larson said, required him to investigate what it was that he was putting up in his front yard. Beginning with the book of Matthew, he ended up on a decade-long odyssey into astronomy.

Larson is emphatic in saying that, although his quest was initially faith-driven, it became much more. "If I'm going to make a star hypothesis," he said, "I want to know, what did it do? Was it an angel? Was it a comet? Was it a myth?"
