Friday, December 19th - Today is a fairly light day astrologically. There is a small snag in the morning when the Moon squares Jupiter. This may make you feel a little too emotionally out there. You may experience everyone's emotions around you, or else close off completely. Just be aware of any feelings and check in with yourself often. You will likely notice a specific shift from about 4pm to 5pm EST. This is due to the moon's movement from the sign of Capricorn into a void of course phase that lasts about an hour, and emergence out the other side into the sign of Sagittarius. Void of course phases are tricky and behave a bit like a more emotionally-centered Mercury retrograde period (although they are much shorter). During the 4 o'clock hour, try not to take things to heart. The energy should transform by evening. Sagittarian moon is a fun-loving moon that enjoys adventure, philosophizing and inter-dimensional play. Tune into the vibes and let the archer moon guide you toward a free-spirited night. Carry carnelian, citrine or jade.
Saturday, December 20th - There are a great multitude of astrological transits going on today, and so it may be hard to pinpoint exactly where your shifts in mood are coming from. The moon is forming a number of aspects with other luminaries throughout the day, and so emotions may alter as rapidly as the tides. The fantastical effect of Moon square Neptune overnight may give way to vivid dreams filled with bizarre imagery. Come morning, Mercury sextile Neptune will bring a boost in communicating your artistic, creative and spiritual ideals. It will be nearly impossible to work on anything your heart is not fully engaged with today. Over the course of the afternoon, the moon forms a sextile with Mars, a square with Chiron and a trine with Uranus. This is pretty concentrated energy and so you may see random outbursts from people as the day progresses. Sagittarius, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will be especially at the whim of these transits. Venus is normally a tranquil planet, but tonight may bring about a bit of a haze. The square with Uranus and conjunction with Pluto will bring to light any power trips you may be on in relationships, or create a bit of a need for control and guidelines when it comes to creativity and love. Finally this doozy of a day wraps up with two sextiles: Moon and North Node, and Mars and Uranus. Energy might increase, but please proceed through the evening with caution. The karmic effect of a Moon/North Node sextile coupled with the element of unexpected danger of a Mars/Uranus sextile can create havoc. Stay calm and give love to others; forgive yourself and each other on this last day of autumn. Carry along a jet, hematite or black tourmaline stone with you for grounding.
Sunday, December 21st - Happy Yule and Winter Solstice! Today is a much more stable day than yesterday was. On the shortest day of the year there will be an abundance of good tidings to go around. Venus sextile Chiron in the morning will give a nice element of tenderness to personal relationships. This could help gloss over tensions from yesterday, provided your personal transits don't interfere. Moon trine Jupiter will inflate our emotions with positive expansiveness and generosity. It's a good day for holiday shopping, craft making for loved ones, or simply spending time with those you care about. In the evening, two exciting astrological events occur. The first is that Uranus moves direct in the sign of Aries. It has been in retrograde movement since July 21st, and you may have noticed a number of unexpected changes in your life since then. This also had an intense effect on society, shaking things up and creating a sense of chaos surrounding communities and individuals. As Uranus moves to direct movement, the tension will be eased a bit. However, Uranus is still in square with Pluto and so madness may continue in a less sudden, earth-shattering way. Tonight both the Sun and Moon move into Capricorn. This is quite interesting because now the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Pluto are all in the sign of Capricorn! Stability and sophistication will rule the evening. There will be a focus on accomplishing tasks and dealing with things in a most efficient manner. Finally, the Moon conjunct Sun aspect will create harmony between our moods and the face we show to the world as the day comes to a close. On the Winter Solstice it is important to remember that it is truly a time of light, despite the darkness of the day. Like on a new moon, it is a good time to rid your life of clutter and things that do not serve you anymore as we move forward towards the Sun. Carry angel aura quartz with you or something that really sparkles.
Thanks for reading.
Monday, December 22nd - Today the new moon in Capricorn continues the theme of darkness vs light we were exploring yesterday. New moons in general are especially fertile times, good for cleansing out influences that no longer serve us and working to bring in the things we most want in our lives. The moon is especially active astrologically today, forming a number of aspects throughout the day. The good news is that Capricorn moons are quite stable and so you may not be quite at the whim of the planets as you might have been with another moon sign. A sextile with Neptune and a conjunction with Mercury make this a great day for communicating our feelings in a clear, concise and logical manner. It's a good day for discussions and getting things off your chest. The universe is quite responsive today and will be able to turn any negativity into crystalline light. Later this afternoon, a conjunction with Pluto and a square with Uranus will have the effect of stiffening any emotional responses you might otherwise be having. The instinct will be to feel and oscillate between a number of feelings, but the Uranus square and Capricorn influence will help keep this from being an overwhelming experience. Moon/Pluto conjunctions can sometimes initiate power struggles, or a need to draw in your comrades and push the rest of the world out. Use the wisdom of the new moon to help you decide what is helping you and what is bringing you needless, negativity with no potential for growth. Carry malachite or jade.
Tuesday, December 23rd - Stress could come early in the day, particularly for those sensitive to North Node transits. Both the Moon and Venus in Capricorn are squaring the Node this morning, and coupled with a void of course Moon there is little direction and the feeling that so much more could be accomplished. Karmic themes are played upon, and so any areas of your life that you may have swept under the rug will be exposed, even if it's to you and you only. Saturn makes a move to Sagittarius today, where it will stay until June. Saturn is a slow moving planet, and yet its retrograde motion will swing it back to the sign of Scorpio over next summer and then back again to Sagittarius come September. Saturn brings with it lessons of responsibility and duty, and while it may have evolved from its early 'malefic' reputation, it is not always the lightest or most fun influence to experience. Until June, we will notice Saturn's power in the form of Sagittarian themes: big picture, freedom, uninhibited learning, pushing forward into higher realms of thought and feeling, and of course travel and higher education. These concepts will become highlighted. The need for freedom will be experienced in a number of ways, and the mirror of the universe will likely reflect back to you any limiting beliefs you unconsciously carry regarding personal freedom and truth. Saturnian influence is far from light, but Sagittarian Saturn deals with less haunting matters than Saturn in Scorpio. Tonight the Moon sextiles Saturn and will help us check in to see what this period of six months might be like for us. Use this time to get a taste of upcoming themes and assess how you plan to grow from them. Once Saturn sweeps back to Scorpio for the summer you can feel free to tie up loose ends from the past two years. Carry copper or geodes today.
Wednesday, December 24th - Aquarian energy abounds today, Christmas Eve. The moon slides into the sign of the water bearer early in the day, which is fantastic for community and reaching out to those around you. Aquarius's ruling planet, Uranus, draws power today in the form of a Moon Sextile and a Mercury square this evening. Today may not go as planned, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Uranian energy shakes things up and crystallizes the past in an effort to create a more evolved future. There is an element of unplanned excitement for the day, but this could easily turn into arguments or stress if you are too attached to a specific outcome. Roll with the day and it could be extremely enjoyable. A Moon/North Node trine tonight will call to you those from your spiritual family, which may or may not be your actual family members. People who you share numerous lifetimes with or have a karmic tie to will come forward tonight, perhaps rather suddenly. Carry tourmaline or ammolite today.
Thursday, December 25th - Merry Christmas! The theme for today is retiring, or spending time rebuilding one's energy. It is a better day for staying home in quiet meditation than going out for a large gathering, but if you are the type of person who recharges in the company of others it may be alright to venture out. The moon is void of course until late this evening, and a Mercury/Pluto conjunction and Moon/Jupiter opposition in the morning make this a somewhat constricted day emotionally. People may have a lot to say but have no feeling behind it. You may want to connect to others but feel as though you are falling flat. By evening, this feeling will dissipate when the Moon enters the sign of Pisces. Feelings could come rushing through internally, but it might be best to process them alone or with a trusted confidante. The day's energy makes it so it is a bit like hitting a brick wall if you continue to try to connect with those who you feel distant from. Positively, this is an excellent day for building up energy. Meditate, do yoga, spend time with someone who makes you feel good. Call on the energies of the planets to fill you with positivity and light as you move into the final week of 2014. It is an excellent day for setting intentions to be manifested soon. Carry any fresh herbs today: dandelion root, mugwort, patchouli, etc. Find one that carries the intention you wish to set for the rest of the year and onward into 2015.
Thanks for reading.
