Yods are when planets make ‘Y’ formations, not uncommon. But, Outer Planet Yods are rare, usually made by Jupiter since it moves the fastest. Our Dec 2012 Yod is being made by Jupiter opposite the Saturn sextile Pluto midpoint! Since it happens at the time of year when the Sun and it’s companions travel through Sagittarius, we have, even more rare, 3 Yod Kites, Arrowheads – they are called by different names! One after the other, Sun, Mercury and Venus add their voices to this Yod – Light, the Word, and Love!
I often think of a Yod as standing at the planet at the yod point, observing my left and right options, keeping both doors open, awareness on each peripherally attending front, enhancing my choice of action. Generally energy is thought to be focused at the point of the yod like in dowsing, but in dowsing, the perspective is reversed! You hold power by hanging onto the Y legs, to let energy flow through the Y focal point, to seek what you are looking for, invaluable water, oil, a lost item. Reverse it a step further! Instead, send! Use it as a powerful gathering of your right and left brain energies, combined, doubled masculine and feminine power, focused powerfully through a narrow channel, important information can be broadcast where you point it! Be the Magician of all talents!
Data from Planetary-Aspects.com: During the twelve years 2007 through 2018 there are only eleven yod kites. There are none in the years 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2016 through 2018. In 2007 there was one yod kite (February 12-14), in 2010 there were six, in 2012 there will be three (all in December), and in 2015 there will be one (May 19-22). In these twelve years yod kites were present on forty days, so during this period the probability of a yod kite being present on a given date is less than 1%.
Since yods are composed of linked inconjuncts (quincunxes), 150 degrees, they are focused at the planet at the point, in this case, Jupiter – from broad spectrum to focus, faith, true meaning. Inconjuncts are just one off from oppositions, so slightly askew, peripheral, often intuitive to nuances. It’s what you don’t ‘see’ that is very nearby, nagging maybe, likely not settled, don wanna do. When we let things slip by us, not paying full attention, there is often a price to be paid later. If you do pay attention, through your awareness, adjustments can be made, saving the day! They require making some time for them, and sticking to it even if uncomfortable. And, sometimes it means mind your own business, don’t take on more than makes sense! In some ways, they aren’t a natural flow. In this Yod, Jupiter is in airy mutable Gemini, full of flex and ideas! The others, opening and closing, are hard working redeemer Saturn in fixed Scorpio water and private Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, in cardinal serious Capricorn, rock solid earth, neither of which wants to be disturbed. Saturn and Pluto in each other’s signs sort of form an unspoken intricate pact, making it hard for a mere Gemini to make a dent! But keep talking! In this case sheer volume may make the difference, find the keyhole. Absorption and percolation can take time. Let it brew but keep a very careful watch. You see the dilemmas.
1. Nov 30 – Dec 2 5 Planet Sun Yod Kite – Saturn/Venus, Pluto/Mars, Jupiter. Sun is at Saturn/Pluto midpoint. Complex pattern with a lot of options and needs. Who you are matters! Stand tall. Let Light in.
2. Dec 15 – 17 Mercury Yod Kite moves into the midpoint of the Yod between Saturn and Pluto, strongest on the 17th at 8 and 9 degrees. Venus enters Sagittarius, Jupiter’s sign. Jupiter takes up the crusade of Saturn’s ploddings and Pluto’s plotting! Course correction or distraction that may save the day after all!? Talk it through, get the tickets, have fun!
3. Dec 1 to 22 Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto build to the closest Yod configuration, all at the 8th degree.
4. Dec 20 – 22 Venus Yod Kite It’s as the Dec 17 set, but VENUS is now at the midpoint! This one is special since it takes place over Winter Solstice/Yule, the time of the Magical Mayan Alignment Portal! It IS VENUS, the planet that made the Transit of the Sun on June 5. On Winter Solstice day, Dec 21, Mercury happens to be at 15 Sagittarius, opposite the 15 Gemini point where the Venus transit occurred!!!! Take a little trip, take a long trip, make it beautiful, Love it uP! Renew your vows. Give Gratitude.
5. Dec 25 – 29 Christmas Day, Kwanzaa 5 Planet Sun & Moon Yod– Saturn, Sun/Pluto, Moon/Jupiter. The Yod continues with the Sun until the annual Sun conjunction Pluto Dec 30! Sacred, ancient and proud, power and glory, Love and Light!
Remember to use your Yods fully and magically! Practice. Stand at the Y point and look along the sides; stand at the side planet points, and receive from or send through the Point planet. Hold the Y legs, focus and let energy flow through the open channel – either to seek or to send! If your channel is messed up, get with it. Clear it, work on being able to open and close it as you choose. When you have yods, yod kites, in your personal chart, they are a lucky tool to have. Few people have them.
Gonna be an amazing month with my birthday on the 24th of December….

Awesome, Ed! I didn’t look back for how rare this grouping is, but Saturn sextile Pluto would be uncommom all by itself since Saturn’s on a 29 year cycle, Pluto 248. Add Jupiter, on 12 years, and we are looking for a threesome. Longer odds yet. I’m guessing you will have many events that will stretch your Soul in Dec. Some will be seeming to stop you, others will find their way around through the side door, ultimately productive! Get plenty of rest. Hugs, Friend!
