There is so much stellar activity in this month that we never seem to really get our balance. The first half of the month is very innovating, uplifting and inspiring; while the second half is pensive, inward, and reality testing. Saturn (lord of tradition) Sesquiquadrate Uranus (god of revolution) on the 3rd challenges us to relinquish old habits or suffer. Jupiter turns retrograde on the 8th encouraging us to retrace the way we have been expressing ourselves. We are lifted to new heights of enthusiasm as Venus, Mercury, and the Sun Trine Jupiter (lord of abundance) between the 4th and the 14th. On the 15th we have the Uranus Square Pluto. This is the 6th Square in a series of 7. This sets a pattern of change into motion, yet again.
Uranus turns direct on December 21st as the Sun moves into Capricorn, reminding us to look for unique circumstances even as we go into the most conservative time of year.
The Full Moon is on December 6th at 7:27 AM on the 14th degree of Gemini/Sagittarius. The benign influence of Venus (goddess of love) Trining Jupiter (king of the gods) gives us confidences and latitude to experiment. With the Sun Conjunct Mercury and with both Trine Uranus (lord of infinite intelligence) innovation and new styles of expression have a way of furthering our cause. This month will allow us to fulfill some aspect of our current plan.
Sun enters Capricorn at 6:04 PM EST on December 21st. This is the Winter Solstice and the chart shows circumstances for this solar month but also general conditions in the world over the next three months. The Moon in this chart is void of course and on the 28th degree of Sagittarius. Saturn is on the last degree of Capricorn. These factors show tremendous ability to grow spiritually and also that we are ending something of long standing importance. Uranus turns direct just 18 minutes before the Solstice so we can see that we are being primed to take new risks and to innovate.
The New Moon on December 21st is at zero degrees of Capricorn at 8:35 PM EST. With half of the planetary pantheon in Capricorn and Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) on the last degree of Scorpio, we can see this is a month for completing responsibilities and learning important lessons.The Sextile from Sun, Moon, and Mercury to Neptune shows the support we get from the cosmos for living out our higher vision of truth.
