Monday, December 19th ~ We have a full day with the moon in Scorpio as we gear up for a very cosmically active week. To start, Venus squares Chiron at 11:23am EST, an aspect which permeates the day with its fatalist romantic aura. We may feel weirdly nostalgic for the past and the people who we once were close with. Some may experience a kind of martyrlike pain as they pine away. Thankfully the next transit shakes us out of these sensations. Mars comes in to sextile Chiron at 5:38pm EST, which suggests we shake out of our feelings by getting active and taking definite action. We may also experience healing or intention to heal physical ailments including aches, pains, and sickness. The Scorpio moon sextiles Venus at 8:21pm and conjuncts the South Node at 8:34pm EST. The South Node rules over the past, karma, and bonds from long ago. Again, we notice a kind of deep nostalgic ache for what has come and gone. It is an ideal day to trip down memory lane or even evoke memories of past lives, but we have to remember to not dwell in this space but visit it for insight and healing. The last transit of the day comes at 10:48pm EST as Venus trines the North Node. Conversely to the South Node, the North Node is where our growth lies, our destiny, what our soul longs to do that it has never done before. We grow beyond the past tonight and begin to understand what is needed for us in terms of relationships and close companions. It is time to look forward rather than back in these areas.
Tuesday, December 20th ~ Today is the last full day of Sagittarius season, and we feel the excitement of the Sun at 29 degrees. Enthusiasm builds, restlessness grows. The moon is in contemplative, piercing Scorpio, favoring those who examine their inner worlds without fear or judgment. The moon opposes Uranus in Taurus at 1:32am and sextiles Mercury in Capricorn at 6:58am EST. Communication channels open up; we may find our emotions fluctuate rapidly today but at least we are free to talk about it. The big news for today transpires at 9:32am EST as Jupiter enters Aries. We experienced Jupiter in Aries earlier this year from late May to mid-October, but the planet's retrograde sent it back into Pisces for a brief two month stint. We now have Jupiter solidly in this fire sign until mid-May. Jupiter in Aries is impulsive and pioneering. We experience luck in ventures which require less planning and more passion. We may find ourselves growing impatient with others and prefer to work on our own. Success comes easier when we take risks; who knows what will happen until we try? The Scorpio moon goes on to square Saturn at 11:41am and trine Neptune at 2:00pm EST. We may fixate on responsibilities or items on our to-do list, but the imagination is also strong and vast today. The moon sextiles Pluto later at 9:44pm EST and then moves void of course until tomorrow. Intuition builds and the veil thins. Dreams may be more lucid and bizarre. Sleep well; tomorrow Capricorn season begins.
Wednesday, December 21st ~ Welcome to Capricorn season! Today kicks off with the moon entering Sagittarius at 2:12am EST, gradually waning as we make our way toward Friday's New Moon. The moon trines Jupiter at 2:18am EST which enhances spiritual pursuits and invites us to be curious about those who are different from ourselves. The Sun enters Capricorn at 4:48pm EST, and Capricorn season is officially underway from now until January 21st. Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign and brings with it an energy of initiating ambitions and career-related goals. This is an ideal time to stretch our minds and beliefs about what we are capable of achieving. This also marks the Solstice, beginning Winter in the Northern hemisphere and Summer in the Southern. It is a potent day of magic and ideal time to set intentions. The Sun continues on to square Jupiter at 7:50pm EST which enhances generosity of spirit and the desire to expand and explore. Be careful of overdoing it or going beyond your means. The moon closes out the day by opposing Mars at 8:48pm and trining Chiron at 9:49pm EST. While our energy may be a bit restless, we find solace in variety and shaking up routine.
Thursday, December 22nd ~ Today we have another full day with the moon in Sagittarius, decreasing in light as we move toward tomorrow's New Moon. We may feel more inward and need more time to recuperate. Many will feel inclined to read and research topics which interest them today. Venus trines Uranus at 4:47am EST, though this is palpable all day and night. Relationships could do with a bit of spice and variety; it could be fun to go somewhere you've never been with your partner or a good friend later. For those who are single it could be a fun day for a first date, or to go out with friends and try a new activity. Predictability and humdrum approaches go nowhere today. Creativity flourishes under these skies. The moon sextiles Saturn at 1:19pm and squares Neptune at 3:15pm EST before moving void of course until tomorrow. It could be a good idea to get your work out of the way before flying free and experiencing the novelty of the night. The lengthy void period lends itself well to journeying and going down various rabbit holes. Some may find they need rest and prefer to stay in, especially those with Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces moons.
Friday, December 23rd ~ The moon enters the sign of Capricorn at 2:49am EST and we are officially in the Dark Moon phase, traveling toward the New Moon happening in just a few hours. The moon squares Jupiter at 3:13am EST, which can make us feel a bit distracted and emotionally scattered. Make sure you carve out a little quiet time for yourself today. Chiron retrograde ends at 4:30am EST; this comes as a huge relief and allows us to integrate lessons learned between July 19th and now. Chiron goes retrograde for about 4-5 months every year, and during this time we could be confronted with insecurities and pain from the past. As Chiron is presently in Aries, these could relate to our ability to motivate ourselves or be outspoken about who we really are. This has been a chance for these feelings to surface so we can confront and heal them. With Chiron now direct, integration is taking place and allowing us to enter 2023 with a new and evolving mindset. Next, the New Moon in Capricorn perfects at 5:16am EST. This is a powerful New Moon; it is the most potent time of the year to set intentions around career and work goals. Light a candle and envision your ideal situation transpiring. Make a list of your goals in this area if you'd like. The moon goes on to square Chiron later at 9:42pm and trine the North Node at 10:12pm EST. It may be hard but something must be released for us to be freed up to move on. This may look like leaving behind a job, person, or maybe just a mindset that has been holding you back. This is the most inward day of the month and so we may feel more quiet or need more rest tonight.
Saturday, December 24th ~ Magic is in the air; today the moon is still in its Dark Phase in the sign of Capricorn. This allows for steady regeneration to take place and for our goals and ambitions to make themselves abundantly clear. The moon trines Uranus at 3:01am and conjuncts Venus at 7:16am EST. Playfulness abounds; we may wish to move away from traditions in favor of something unexpected or fun. Humor is a healing tool today; the Capricorn moon is underrated in how humorous it can be, and these other transits bring a childlike sense of wonder and whimsy with them. The moon conjuncts Mercury at 2:32pm and sextiles Neptune at 2:47pm EST. These are fun aspects for storytelling and for honing the mind to take in new information. Later, Mercury sextiles Neptune at 8:17pm EST which invites in imagination and fantasy. It is a great day for writers and artists to craft and create. Finally, the moon conjuncts Pluto at 10:10pm EST and then moves void of course until tomorrow. We don't shy away from the truth; by confronting what needs to be faced you will free yourself up for an enjoyable night. The void period brings a sense of peace and is a good time to rest up and replenish your energy.
Sunday, December 25th ~ Happy Yule! Many thankful blessings to all my lovely readers. I hope you all have/are having a wonderful holiday season. The moon enters Aquarius today at 2:13am EST which allows a giving spirit to enter in. Aquarians are often overlooked in this field but this energy allows them to be quite generous when they feel it is for the greater good. With the moon in this sign today we feel this spirit in the air. The moon sextiles Jupiter at 2:56am EST, which brings goodwill and optimism. We may feel more convivial and social. Later today, the moon trines Mars at 6:34pm and sextiles Chiron at 9:14pm EST. These are mostly pleasant aspects which increase physical energy and a pleasant competitive spirit. It's a fun night for a game, either watching or playing. Finally, the day closes out with the moon in square to the Nodes at 9:18pm EST. This is the only vaguely prickly transit for the day; it can make us feel somewhat frozen and unsure emotionally. It is best to not force a solution tonight but to sleep on it instead, and see how you are feeling come morning.
