Monday, December 20th ~ Today the moon is at home in Cancer all day, providing us with expanded emotional awareness and a genuine desire to care for self and others. The moon opposes Mercury at 1:25am and sextiles Uranus at 3:16am EST, two aspects which make us more open and talkative than normal. We may feel comfortable sharing parts of ourselves we would normally strive to keep from others. Mercury and Uranus meet in trine at 3:18pm EST, which encourages open communication and fresh ideas. We find that approaching problems the same old way does not lead anywhere; new sparks of inspiration guide us to move in an entirely new direction. Tonight the Cancer Moon trines Neptune at 10:00pm EST, increasing compassion and depth of feeling. Our imaginations soar and our spirits are moved by the magnified feelings we experience.
Tuesday, December 21st ~ Blessed Solstice and happy Capricorn season! The day begins with the moon in Cancer, opposing Pluto at 8:09am, opposing Venus at 9:43am EST and then moving void of course for over seven hours. These aspects create a feeling of stubbornness; we resent being forced to move at another's speed and instead dig our heels in. Much of this energy dissipates at 10:58am EST as the Sun enters Capricorn and initiates the Winter Solstice (or Summer Solstice in the southern hemisphere). Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, representing the ability to start building something of tangible substance. The Solstice thins the veil between physical and spiritual, and allows our intention to carry us further than is typical. Over the next month, we may feel our ambitions become more pronounced as we look for the most effective way forward. The moon's void period ends today at 4:53pm EST as it ingresses Leo. This creates a desire to share some aspect of ourselves with others in a more public manner. Tonight the moon sextiles the North Node in Gemini, which aligns us to our greater mission and allows for a more objective view of our personal trajectory.
Wednesday, December 22nd ~ Moon in Leo all day, Moon trine Mars 5:24am, Moon trine Chiron 9:33am, Moon opposite Saturn 2:28pm, Moon square Uranus 2:49pm, Ceres re-enters Taurus (Rx). Today we have the moon in Leo for this first full day of Capricorn season. The lion and goat team up; both signs are highly motivated to succeed and prefer to put on a brave face for the world at large. This energy carries us forward today. The moon trines Mars at 5:24am and trines Chiron at 9:33am EST. We are more action-oriented and seek out active ways to heal past insecurities. The moon opposes Saturn this afternoon at 2:28pm and squares Uranus at 2:49pm EST for the last lunar aspects until Friday. Much of our enthusiasm centers around personal projects and those which award us more freedom. We might feel resentment build if we are not allowed the space to create in our own time. Dwarf planet Ceres is currently retrograde, and moves back into Taurus today. Ceres rules over the plant and animal kingdoms, and is actually more at home in Taurus than in Gemini, where it was previously. Connection to the beat of the earth is more likely between now and February 8th. Open yourself up to receive messages from animal friends and houseplants.
Thursday, December 23rd ~ Today is a truly bizarre day in which there are absolutely NO major celestial aspects of any kind. The moon is in Leo all day, but makes no connections with planets or luminaries. This is a welcome break, as tomorrow we have some heavy hitting aspects arriving which we can feel building today. It is a good time to look at your own personal transits. It is always easier to feel them when there are no interfering energies in the sky overhead. A gift of this day is clarity. The cosmos are unusually quiet and award us with more peace of mind and an ability to tap into our own unique vibration.
Friday, December 24th ~ Today on this eve of Yule we have the moon in Leo to begin the day, opposing Jupiter at 1:39am EST before moving void of course for a little under two hours. Generosity of spirit and time is the theme for the morning. We contribute to others through acts of service and show our affection through actions rather than through words. The big transit for today comes as Saturn and Uranus meet in an exact square at 2:17am EST. This has been building all week and will continue to be felt until early next week. This aspect has been the dominating force of 2021, occurring on February 17th and June 14th. Today's square will be the final one in the series, closing out 2021 quite effectively. This square has centered around the clash between the old and the new. Saturn's stalwart traditionalism abrades against Uranus's revolutionary future-oriented thinking, and this has been a major theme of the year. We have seen it occur between groups of people, but also in the realm of technology. Uranus rules over new tech and the realm of cyberspace, and in the sign of material Taurus it has brought about the prominence of cryptocurrency and the development of more complex virtual worlds. Saturn is presently located in humanitarian Aquarius, and seeks to make humanity take responsibility for its actions. We will leave the marked intensity of these particular lessons behind in 2021, but they continue to reverberate for many years to come. The moon ingresses Virgo today at 3:24am EST, creating a desire to serve and take care of those around us. The moon squares the North Node at 5:47am and trines the Sun at 9:04am EST, ushering in the moon's Waning Gibbous phase. This pulls us inward more, and we begin to take stock of personal desires. Tonight the moon squares Mars at 6:52pm EST; outward action feels less appealing as the day rolls on. Try to get errands and work done in the first part of the day as you will likely feel like doing anything but in the latter half.
Saturday, December 25th ~ Merry Yule! We have the moon in humble Virgo all day, allowing us to take in the day with an eye honed for recognizing how to bring in more beauty and improvement. The moon trines Uranus at 12:24am EST, allowing for new pathways to develop in the mind. We may suddenly find a new way of viewing a very old problem. Mars trines Chiron today at 5:37am EST, though we feel this transit all weekend long. This coupled with the Virgo moon allows for great strides to be taken in physical healing. Pay attention to your body's needs and give it what it requires. Miraculous cures come about under the inspired influence of this aspect. Retrograde Venus moves back into conjunction with Pluto at 7:01am EST; this is a somewhat difficult aspect which brings out a marked desire to transform relationships. We may notice disharmony in relationships more acutely and feel unwilling to just turn the other way and ignore them. You can use this energy to communicate openly with those closest to you. The worst way to deal with this aspect is to come at it indirectly, i.e. making passive aggressive comments or avoiding the situation entirely. The moon trines Mercury at 3:08pm and opposes Neptune at 6:07pm EST, two transits which assist us in this very arena. These expand our ability to communicate and experience deeper compassion for those around us. Very deep healing can take place today, in both the body and in our relationships with others.
Sunday, December 26th ~ We have the moon in Virgo to start the day, trining Venus at 3:11am and trining Pluto at 3:39am EST before moving void of course. These are mostly pleasant aspects which align us to notice beauty and seek to transform the way we take in visual stimuli. These aspects could be useful for artists or for improving our self-confidence in terms of how we view ourselves. The void lasts until 11:23am EST as the moon enters Libra. This is a more social moon that focuses on creating harmony through our interactions with others. The moon trines the North Node at 1:29pm EST, linking us to our greatest desire. We may feel an increased romanticism; crushes become more pronounced. Mercury sextiles Neptune at 4:28pm EST, an excellent aspect for writers and poets. Words flow in creative ways and we are able to express higher concepts in both speech and the written word. The last aspect of the day comes at 9:23pm EST as the Sun squares the Moon and initiates the Last Quarter moon phase. This creates a feeling of impatience and restlessness which is not necessarily negative. It serves to lead us on to the next stage. We may feel reflective and find ourselves remembering times past.
