Overview
December 17th offers a subtle yet effective expression of power with a sextile between Pluto and Mars in Pisces. Any combination of Mars (actions, conscious motivations) and Pluto (power, subconscious motivations) makes for intense events. But the sextile is the most gentle aspect and Mars in Pisces acts indirectly. So we have an opportunity to do something effectively using allowance, creativity or intuition. Less is more – you won’t need to force anything but the impact will still be considerable.
December 19th sees the Sagittarius Sun squaring Wounded Healer Chiron in Pisces – doubts can undermine hope for the future while bruising the ego. And yet, this is not something to be avoided and the Sun’s trine to Uranus Rx in Aries on December 20th encourages you to take a bit of a risk and step into the unknown. Yes, you’ll be dealing with a vulnerability but Uranus says that there is a way forward.
December 21st is a busy day. Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Sagittarius, uniting communication/details with ideals/the big picture. Here is a chance to say it big or learn something very fortunate. We first saw this conjunction on November 27th when Mercury was Rx, so this will not be a new issue. But what was previously under review or being questioned can now deliver am optimistic confirmation.
On the same day, Neptune in in Pisces trines Venus in Scorpio for a touch of magic, romance, deep creativity or selfless love. Neptune and Jupiter are both expansive influences, so this could be a day when you see more and conceive of better – something to look forward to.
December 21st also marks the Sun’s Capricorn ingress and the shortest day. The Winter Solstice is a major turning point where you can celebrate (or at least acknowledge) existing structures and traditions while looking forward to the longer days ahead. This solstice is amplified by the December 22nd Cancer Full Moon at 0 deg, triggering a simultaneous ending and beginning where needs, nurturing and authentic sources of security (as opposed to status- driven definitions) will be the issue. This Full Moon and Winter Solstice will illuminate family (especially parental) themes.
