Weekly Forecast: 12/11/15 through 12/17/15

Friday, December 11th - Shortly after midnight the Sagittarian moon makes contacts with Mars and Uranus, forming a sextile to the first and a trine to the second. This is a dynamic set of transits that amps up energy, enthusiasm and excitement. Some may feel restless or nervous. Action may be taken whether or not you are ready to do so. Venus and Neptune are in trine today, which is a romantic and dreamy transit. There is a lot of creative and spiritual energy to play with. Be careful with any sudden choices or decisions today since many illusions are appearing right now. True intentions could be masked. This can also affect the way you are looking at situations or circumstances surrounding love, romance and work. The moon is VERY active today, which tends to create shifting moods for most. The moon will square Chiron before forming a conjunction with the Sun, otherwise known as the New Moon. This full to new moon cycle has been very intense, since we are fast approaching the Solstice. We are shedding thought patterns and emotional blocks which no longer serve us. The process is not always fun, since we are being exposed to things that hurt or cause fear. As this New Moon is upon us, be sure to begin filling your mind with the feelings and sensations you would like to welcome into your life, rather than focusing entirely on those things you don't want. The moon is void of course from 11:06am EST, where it will stay until tomorrow morning. Mars and Chiron are inconjunct today at 11:43am, which exacerbates that New Moon shedding. You may find yourself dealing with intense thoughts or emotions today. Try to listen to what they are telling you rather than seeking distraction or an instant fix.

Saturday, December 12th - The moon comes out of its void at 1:47am EST and enters Capricorn. This morning, the Capricorn moon moves into conjunction with Mercury. This is an excellent day for business, promotion and getting your ideas heard. Capricorn keeps things logical while Mercury allows for expression and clear communication. The moon sextiles Neptune this afternoon, which allows for imagination to come in. Compassion and empathy are boosted. Tonight the Moon/Venus sextile brings in romance, sensuality and passion. Consider sharing the evening with someone you care about.

Sunday, December 13th - This morning the moon conjuncts Pluto, squares Uranus, sextiles Chiron and squares Mars. This is a fairly heavy series of transits which will bring to mind issues regarding power, control and freedom. These may play out in interpersonal ways or in bigger, community-based arenas. It is important to keep your cool and be sure you are saying things in as concise and logical way as possible. The Uranus and Mars squares give many acid tongues, so be careful to not dig yourself into a hole with your words. Tonight the moon trines Jupiter before moving void of course at 6:07pm EST. The evening is a little quieter and is great for studying, reading or learning something new or honing an existing skill.

Monday, December 14th - The Capricorn moon trines the North Node early this morning, which brings along career opportunities for those who have been seeking change. Someone you may have been waiting on will finally get in touch. The moon exits its void at 7:09am EST and enters Aquarius. The day has a dreamy quality thanks to the Mercury/Neptune sextile that is occurring this afternoon. Empathy and kindness come to the forefront. Creative abilities are heightened. It is an excellent day to discuss plans with others, as it is easy to get on the same page. The Sun and Jupiter square each other this morning, which suggests that you will need to face interpersonal dramas with clarity today. Walking away and ignoring it is not an option. It is actually quite an excellent day to end arguments and misunderstandings, particularly for Aquarius, Gemini and Libra.

Tuesday, December 15th - An Aquarius moon/Saturn sextile after midnight allows for focus and determination when it comes to implementing new ideas. Charity work is favored today. The moon squares Venus and sextiles Uranus over the course of the morning and afternoon. It is a more logic centered day and empathy might be a little harder to come by. It is important to not take any remarks too seriously, as most people are focused on their work or the task at hand. Adventures, travel and sudden shifts may occur for some. It is an ideal day to transfer to a new job, school, or begin a new life path.

Wednesday, December 16th - The moon and Sun meet in sextile this morning, bringing in a cheerful attitude, particularly for Aquarius and Sagittarius. Confront any emotional difficulties today; it is easier on this day to synthesize them and figure out a solution. The moon is void of course from 2:17am until 12:45pm EST, when it enters Pisces. The morning is a little slow moving and is good for relaxation or gently easing into the day. The afternoon has a dreamy quality and is appropriate for utilizing the imagination. Escape into a book or creative project, or brainstorm with others.

Thursday, December 17th - A moon/Neptune conjunction in the sign of Pisces amplifies tenderness, romance and intuitive abilities. This is heightened by the Venus/Pluto sextile. It may be possible to reach an almost telepathic connection with those you care about today. Getting work done may be difficult, as a moon/Saturn square keeps the mind wandering. Commitments and agreements in relationships reach consensus this afternoon. The moon sextiles Mercury, trines Venus and conjuncts Chiron over the course of the day and night. Communication opens up, which allows for healing to take place. Consider doing something tonight that lifts your spirits and eases your mind.
