Welcome, everyone to our 2nd to last week of 2021. We enter in this week with Venus freshly stationed Retrograde, Mars deep into Sagittarius. We have a big week ahead of us because on top of all the other chaos in the Astro Weather, we have one of the most major aspects of the year taking place again this week: the Saturn/Uranus square. To give some context, Saturn and Uranus have been squaring off throughout the entire year, twice already before on February 17th, 2021 and June 14th, 2021 in the signs of Aquarius and Taurus. In many respects, this has brought a lot of unexpected instability and disruption to the infrastructure in our life. While we do head for another tremor for Saturn/Uranus, this square is the resolution to what has taken place over the past year. So good news! In other ways, its definitely a period to expect the unexpected and allow whatever structure in your life to collapse if its on its last leg. You deserve firmer, solid, and unshakeable foundations in your life, but this square is a pressure test. In addition to this square, we also have the Sun entering Capricorn, wrapping up Sagittarius Season, and plunging us into the beginning of winter with the Winter Solstice.
Monday Dec 20th
(1:25 AM ET) Moon in Cancer opposes Mercury at 10º15’ Capricorn
(3:16 AM ET) Moon in Cancer sextile Uranus at 11º10’ Taurus
(3:18 PM ET) Mercury in Capricorn trine Uranus at 11º10’ Taurus
(10:00 PM ET) Moon in Cancer trine Neptune at 20º30’ Pisces
As we start off this beautiful Monday, we have the Moon separating from an opposition to Mercury in Capricorn, which does help to moisten some of the dryness with our communication style and any exhaustiveness or tiredness we feel. Mercury in Capricorn has really highlighted the slowness of our nervous system and speech patterns after bouncing off every wall when Mercury was in Sagittarius earlier in the month, and after the Full Moon in Gemini, we have an opportunity to gift ourselves nourishment and care. Take today and the rest of tomorrow to nourish yourself. Clean your room. Beautify your space. Venus is still Retrograde so it is definitely a time to rethink the aesthetics if your space and how they reflect your sense of peace and serenity. Mercury will make a trine to Uranus today giving us unexpected news. It could be potentially good news, so keep an eye out ;)
Tuesday Dec 21st
(8:09 AM ET) Moon in Cancer opposes Pluto at 25º36’ Capricorn
(9:43 AM ET) Moon in Cancer opposes Venus Retrograde at 26º23’ Capricorn
(10:59 AM ET) INGRESS: Sun enters Capricorn
(4:53 PM ET) INGRESS: Moon enters Leo
As we head into Tuesday, we have the Moon making oppositions to both Pluto and Venus who are getting ready for their second out of three conjunctions later this week. There is an air of nostalgia and missing with this aspect, wanting to examine and dig up past feelings and sit with what’s been buried deep within your soul. The Moon also helps to transfer some moisture to both Venus and Pluto which are very dry right now in Capricorn, and allow us to express what it is we desire a lot more fluidly. Give yourself room to release how you feel. Whether this looks like crying, painting, using artistic mediums, do whatever it is you need to unpack the root of your desires, and how those desires stem from deep pain with Pluto. Today the Sun and Moon change signs, moving into aversion from each other. With the Moon in Leo, there is the desire to be seen and to be acknowledged. Leo energy deals so much with recognition, but not always in the sense of fame, but with how we are able to understand and validate other people through acknowledgment of their actions. The Moon, even though averse, is ruled by the Sun who has just ingressed into Capricorn, which highlights hard work, labor, and persistent action. We ultimately desire to be recognized for our hard work, our labor, and for the effort we put into making our lives better for ourselves. This Capricorn Season won’t be any regular Capricorn Season because it will conjoin Venus on Jan 8th, bringing to the forefront of our consciousness what actions we can take to achieve what it is we desire.
Wednesday Dec 22nd
(5:24 AM ET) Moon in Leo trine Mars at 06º19’ Sagittarius
(2:28 PM ET) Moon in Leo opposes Saturn at 10º56’ Aquarius
(2:49 PM ET) Moon in Leo squares Uranus at 11º07’ Taurus
Wednesday is when things get spicy, they always do with the Moon in Leo. However, the Moon makes a trine to Mars in Sagittarius, bringing an incredible amount of heat and energy into Wednesday. There is this contrasting quality between the Moon and Saturn when they oppose each other, because the Moon has received heat and support from Mars to be seen and recognized, and to spread one’s own fire and light, but is quickly met with blockages, obstacles, and delays. It’s a battle of ego and restriction. Although Wednesday is not when the Saturn/Uranus square will take place, it will be the last aspect the Moon makes to these planets before they square each other, so we may feel those effects most intensely today.
Thursday Dec 23rd
Thursday is the calm before the storm. You’re not reading this wrong. There are NO ASPECTS on Thursday, Dec 23rd, 2021. If things seem ominous, it’s because they are. Nothing is happening in the Astrology. The Moon is technically moving through Leo transferring the light from Saturn to Jupiter, however that aspect won’t go exact until Friday, where we get a release of all this tension and energy that’s building up.
Friday Dec 24th
(1:39 AM ET) Moon in Leo opposes Jupiter at 29º05’ Aquarius
(2:16 AM ET) Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus at 11º05’ Taurus
(3:24 AM ET) INGRESS: Moon enters Virgo
(9:04 AM ET) Moon in Virgo trines the Sun at 02º58’ Capricorn
(6:52 PM ET) Moon in Virgo squares Mars at 08º08’ Sagittarius
As we head over into Friday, the Moon opposes Jupiter which does bring some optimism to any delays or blockages that came up earlier with the Moon opposing Saturn. It’s been a consistent theme with the Leo Moon’s I’ve seen where there is some sort of need to be acknowledged and seen and there is a rejection, heaviness, or somberness that comes in with the opposition to Saturn, but then a lightness, optimistic feeling, and possible path towards resolution possible with the oppositions to Jupiter. However, on this same day we have the final Saturn/Uranus square which does bring in these significations of structures collapsing, being disrupted, dismantled in a way that resolves the longer cycle of disruption that’s been taking place all year (the last two squares were on Feb 17th and June 14th). Although this square takes place today, you’ll feel it all throughout the week. The buildup takes place before Friday, and the release of this energy takes place after Friday. The Moon then enters Virgo and makes a trine to the Sun and squares to Mars. That trine to the Sun looks grounding in terms of what action should be taken, in terms of initiating change or revisions, since we’re dealing with Mutable and Cardinal Earth, it is the impulse to make changes. However, as the Moon applies to a square with Mars which is a breeding ground for fights, arguments (especially!), friction, the tension of faith and desire to expand and spread contrasting with facts, information, and another desire to contain and compartmentalize. It feels like being boxed in which can result in verbal arguments or fights.
Saturday Dec 25th
(12:24 AM ET) Moon in Virgo trines Uranus at 11º04’ Taurus
(7:02 AM ET) Venus conjunct Pluto at 25º43’ Capricorn
(3:08 PM ET) Moon in Virgo trines Mercury at 18º57’ Capricorn
(6:07 PM ET) Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune at 20º34’ Pisces
As we head into Saturday, we’re gearing up for Venus’ second conjunction to Pluto. This highlights the idea of toxic relationship patterns, desires to control situations or environments, and revisiting power dynamics that may be harmful and not supportive of nourishment and care. The Moon in an Earth sign along with all the other planets in Earth/Air Signs makes today a very dry day, and it might work in your favor to add more moisture and emotion to show the people you love that you care about them. The Moon is still separating from Mars in Sagittarius and this combination of Fire and Earth makes things very dry in the day starting off. It’s easy to create friction. The Moon applying to a trine to Mercury definitely is bringing some sober or sobering news, with an added element of confusion or lack of clarity because of the opposition to Neptune. In many ways, we may find ourselves having to come to terms with certain truths that take us back to reality whereas Neptune tends to bring things further away from reality, into illusions, and delusions. There is truth and there is perception, and we find out that the truth might look very different from what we were perceiving. The veil becomes lifted.
Sunday Dec 26th
(3:11 AM ET) Moon in Virgo trines Venus Retrograde at 25º30’ Capricorn
(3:39 AM ET) Moon in Virgo trines Pluto at 25º45’ Capricorn
(11:23 AM ET) INGRESS: Moon enters Libra
(4:28 PM ET) Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune at 20º35’ Pisces
(9:23 PM ET) Moon in Libra squares The Sun at 05º32’ Capricorn
As we head into the end of the week, the Moon trines Venus, after conjoining Pluto, and this allows us to be able to analyze the whole Venus/Pluto situation a lot clearer since the Moon has separated from Venus. We are able to communicate our desires a lot more clearly, and while there may be stuff from the past that comes up and we have to deal with (all throughout the week), Venus will no longer be moving towards Pluto, and Mercury will actually come to conjoin Venus later next week. Venus-Pluto makes me think of loving someone at their worst, but also knowing when to leave someone when they have brought you to your lowest point in disrespecting your peace. As the Moon enters Libra, we take action to restore balance and create peace in our own lives. Balance is achieved when everything is put into the right proportions of weight, and it might be time to lighten your load, especially when the Moon squares the Sun. It may be time to stop holding on to dead weight and clean out whatever is holding you back. If you want abundance especially with Jupiter in Pisces, you have to make space to invite that abundance into your life.
