Overview

December 12th brings an inferior conjunction between Mercury Rx and the Sagittarius Sun. This is the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde, which suggests that delays/questions/reviews will uncover something useful. And the Sun will illuminate it in a moment of clarity. 

Venus in Sagittarius trines the Leo North Node on December 14th, Mercury Rx conjoins Venus on December 15th and trines the North Node on December 16th. What the Sun illuminates can be quite positive – a desirable piece of news that turns your eyes to a hopeful future. Even though Mercury will not station direct until December 22nd, you can start laying out a rough draft for future plans (just leave some room for additional adjustments). 

Note that Mercury previously trined the North Node on November 19th, so you could be revisiting a potential (a hopeful idea that referenced the future) from that day. 

December 15th/16th also sees the Sun reigniting a square to Chiron in Pisces and a trine to Uranus Rx in Aries. You’ve felt this before, as Mercury direct and Rx pinged these aspects on November 24th/25th and December 10th. You’ll be reminded of a bruise or weakness (again) but the hopeful developments with Mercury Rx, the North Node and Venus say that now you have additional insight (and maybe some good news) to back you up. 

Wondering what 2018 has in store for you? I’m currently booking into March, so if you want a reading that’s still early(ish) in the year, consider ordering a consult. 

Aries

Aspects to the the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your opportunities sector (including the trine to Uranus Rx in your sign) can spotlight an issue involving travel, education, legal matters, beliefs or publishing. One or more of these areas is up for review, and a specific message or document may be hi-lighted. A favourable opportunity or intriguing individual (long-distance romance) may be part of the story. There’s room for creative and romantic growth here – don’t hesitate to make your thoughts known, even if the results are not immediately forthcoming. 

You’ll still be dealing with the activation of hidden wounds/insecurities from the last three weeks. But by now, your sense of future potentials should give you enough confidence to keep moving forward. 

Taurus

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources emphasizes a key conversation or piece of information involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. A specific issue or uncomfortable discussion will be revisited, but now you’ll have added insight as something deeper is uncovered. This can also apply to psychological exploration. As you sort through the buried information, you should also gain access to financial or emotional benefits – more intimacy, more sharing or perhaps some financial assistance. Domestic finances and family matters can benefit. 

Public embarrassments or feeling “less than” when you compare yourself to others may still be an issue, as they have been for the past three weeks. But take note of your growing pool of insight, inner strength and private support – these are things that outsiders can’t touch or fully understand.    

Gemini

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your partnership sector spotlight the return to a previous relationship conversation or agreement. Or, there could be a reconnection with a past partner. The purpose will be to see how relationship beliefs and promises are holding up. Even as you return to something from the past, you should see future possibilities opening up along with a sense that you are both moving towards the same, desirable objective. These aspects favour all one-on-one contacts/discussions (not just romantic) that you’d like to expand into something more. Watch for a “fated” connection or timely conversation that reignites feelings of hope. If you’re trying to promote yourself or make your ideas public, a partnership is your best avenue for this. 

Having said this, you’ll still be experiencing sensitivities and disappointments (from the past three weeks) related to career, a job search or someone in authority. But a business or romantic partner has your back – you can turn to someone close to you for support and fresh ideas.  

Cancer

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of routine will revisit a key task, diagnosis or health issue. You’ll be going over the details and refining your routines/solutions, and you should find extra assistance. The closer you look, the more favourable solutions will be revealed. Concentrating on self-improvement, obligations and corrections can directly  benefit your financial and emotional security. Watch for new possibilities to open at work, as you’re recognized for your unique approach. 

However, doubts or sore spots involving travel, education, legal matters, beliefs or publishing will still be triggered, as they have been over the past three weeks. You may still find it difficult to maintain faith, or reach beyond your current situation. The key is concentrating on your immediate environment – health and routines is where it’s at now. Get these things in order, and you’ll be prepared to handle the big picture. 

Leo

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression take you back to an area of focus around artistic work, children/pregnancy or a new attraction. But this time, there’s extra clarity and a possible breakthrough-  aspects to the North Node in your sign suggest there’s plenty of room for progress. Even if you’re not getting exactly what you want right now, or you’re struggling to make yourself heard, know that your continued dedication will pave the way forward. Someone from the past could reappear and offer an alternative to what you’re striving for. Or, they could offer you encouragement to keep going. 

Wounds or uncomfortable issues involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy will continue to be triggered, as they have been for the past three weeks. This can be particularly frustrating, as you won’t have full control over what’s happening. Nonetheless, you’re being urged to make the most of what you have – your charisma, talent and ability to shine. It’s still all about you, even though you have to apply some extra patience. 

Virgo

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your domestic sector will draw your attention (once again) to a home responsibility, relocation, family discussion or issue with parents. More details can be revealed – there may be more to the traditional narrative. Watch for an increase in love, understanding and positive energy, as well as a hard-to-define but accurate feeling that you’re moving in the right direction (even if things appear to be at a standstill). There can be subtle but sure progress with domestic finances and psychological blocks/habits from the past. 

Touchy issues with a partner from the past three weeks will still be active, but you’re in the process of working through those issues by addressing recurring themes. Don’t be afraid to confront what’s taboo or private – now’s the time to shed light on these topics. 

Libra

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your communication sector will hi-light a conversation or understanding from the past. You’ll be looking at previous information with fresh eyes, and could discover something favourable that helps you connect with others or make your message public. Too, there could be a flirtatious contact with someone from the past, or a second chance to impress someone. 

Over the past three weeks you may have encountered stressful information or realizations related to work or health. Those difficulties will continue to be activated as your attention is drawn to what’s wrong, missing or in need of correction. However, you’ve got positive energy with others on your side. Friends, groups or one-on-one connections can give you the support and solutions to help you through. Don’t hesitate to reach out – you don’t have to go through this alone. 

Scorpio

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources can clarify an ongoing issue around earned money, security or self-esteem. More facts will be illuminated, as well as some positive news regarding a job, your career path or your relationship to someone in authority. It may be time to take a second look at a source of income, or ask (one more time) about a raise or job opportunity. If you have to repeat a request (involving baseline emotional needs or boundaries) you could receive a positive response this time. 

Doubts and insecurities from the past three weeks will still be factors, as you’re challenged to deal with blows to your ego or worries about finances. Your best bet is to keep the discussion open, and keep looking/asking questions about a future opportunity. There’s more to be revealed. 

Sagittarius

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sign can clarify an issue you’ve been discussing/questioning, or bring you back to a previous conversation. Going back over the facts and taking a second look at beliefs/promises can deliver added insight, while adjusting your view of the future. Too, there could be a contact with a close friend or romantic interest from the past, or a second chance at a romantic connection. In general, second chances and second looks will bring added benefits. Travel, education, legal matters and publishing are areas that merit continued exploration.

Wounds and sensitive issues involving family, parents or your domestic situation will still be active, as they have been over the past three weeks. But with all the action in your sign, you’ve got more than enough resources to deal with this. Your ability to find a silver lining in any situation will come in handy now. Know that you do have much to look forward to (including Saturn leaving your sign on December 19th).

Capricorn

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your hidden sector can cast a light on something that’s been secret or in your blind spot. Returning to previous issue, or looking more closely at what’s obscured, can uncover a sweet realization and some unexpected blessings. Too, you may discover additional solutions that help you progress in the areas of shared finances or intimacy. If you’re trying to get closer to someone, this could be about allowing them access to something very private. 

A difficult conversation or understanding will still be a sore spot, as it has been for the past three weeks. It may seem as if the more you reveal/examine, the more your discomfort increases. The topic isn’t going to vanish, so you might as well do the work behind the scenes. Know that you have additional resources and support to get you through, even if this consists of a unproven but persistent feeling that you’re on the right track. 

Aquarius

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your social sector can illuminate something hopeful regarding friends, groups or your connection to the public. You could reconnect with someone from the past, which will remind you why you were friends to begin with. Or, a romantic attraction could be reestablished. Too, a second look can confirm someone’s support for you, or hi-light an opportunity to promote/speak out. The connections you make now, and the conversations you have, will encourage you to trust by clarifying the dynamics of your one-on-one relationships. 

However, financial/emotional insecurities from the past three weeks will still be in evidence. There may be a key area where you feel helpless and at the mercy of others. Know that all relationships (romantic, friendship, social and business) are favoured, and you can progress towards a more balanced, trusting interaction with others. You’re not in this alone. 

Pisces

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your career sector will deliver additional information about a job prospect, your position at work or your professional image. You could revisit a discussion with management, or hear about a previous job opportunity. This looks favourable, as you connect with those who can help you get ahead while supporting the progression of your daily work and efforts to improve. Career and finances in general will benefit from second chances or asking additional questions. If there’s a delay, it could reveal a silver lining. 

However, the Sun’s square to Chiron in your sign will ping an insecurity or weakness that you’ve been dealing with over the past three weeks. Worries about success or the ability to handle more responsibility will continue to be bothersome, but know that you’ve got a pile of energy in your career sector to help you work through this. Mercury Rx is working to direct your attention to beneficial relationships and facts.

Overview

Chiron in Pisces stations direct on December 5th, which suggests some welcome progress in the areas of wounds and vulnerabilities. Note that “progress” does not mean the issue will disappear, but you will be able to move forward. This will be noticeable on December 10th, when Mercury Rx in Sagittarius repeats its square to Chiron/trine to Uranus Rx, from November 24th and 25th. This will be the same painful conversation/information, but now you can make headway as you talk it out or explore solutions. A square between Venus in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces on the same day can make it tempting to ignore your problems, and there’s a danger of wanting something that doesn’t exist. Or, wanting more than is realistically possible. Venus/Neptune can be dreamy in small doses, but seriously undermining if you chug the entire bottle.  

December 6th brings us another repeat Mercury Rx aspect – a conjunction with Saturn, first experienced on November 28th. Get ready to go back over the rules or reconsider the ending. Nothing’s carved in stone, just yet.  

Mars into Scorpio on December 9th will stoke the fires of anger, sex and initiative. All Mars themes will slow down, as energy is turned inwards and becomes very deliberate. This is a potent sign for Mars, and slow does not equal weak. Think of a buildup of energy that’s directed with passion, obsession or vengeance. 

Wondering what 2018 has in store for you? I’m currently booking into March, so if you want a reading that’s still early(ish) in the year, consider ordering a consult. 

Aries

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your opportunities sector will revisit an official document/plan (involving travel, education, legal matters, justice or publishing) from November 28th. You may be questioning the rules related to the above, or taking a closer look at a certain belief. Something that you had faith in (or that disappointed you) may be up for review. Mercury Rx’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx (in your sign) and Chiron will take you back to  November 24th-25th, but this time, Chiron has stationed direct. Watch for progress around the hidden wound or embarrassment. Even though it will be triggered again, it should be easier to speak out and envision new possibilities. 

Mars into your sector of shared resources can stir up deep passion or anger, to the point where you don’t feel in control of your actions. Too, issues around debts, taxes, loans or you partner’s finances may challenge you, as someone else makes things happen (whether you like it or not). Rather than struggling to maintain control, try to be fully aware of what’s triggering you. Venus/Neptune increases the need for full awareness, as unconscious desires may pump up false expectations. Venus/Neptune can expand your faith and visions of the future, but caution is needed. Long-distance travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you’ll have to pay close attention to reality versus fantasy. 

Taurus

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of shared resources will revisit an issue from November 28th. The rules around a conversation or document involving debts, taxes, loans, your partners finances or intimacy will be questioned and reviewed, and Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can reopen a public vulnerability from November 24th-25th. However, Chiron is now direct, which means private conversations or deeper insight can help you move past this issue.  

Mars into your partnership sector can stir up moments of passion, intense competition or conflict with a partner. You may not be comfortable with someone’s challenges or actions, but your full attention and dedication will be demanded. How you respond depends on how you feel about someone else calling the shots. Venus/Neptune urges caution where intimacy and finances are concerned – be careful that you’re not expecting, giving or spending more than you can afford. There may be some illusions about what others have, or the nature of a friendship/group association.  

Gemini

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your partnership sector takes you back to a relationship conversation/agreement from November 28th. It’s time for a second look at boundaries, or an ending/commitment. Someone may change their mind, or the terms of the agreement may be up for discussion. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can re-open a wound or sore spot, involving career, success, status or a discussion with management. Issues from November 24th-25th will be examined, but now that Chiron is direct, it should be easier to see alternatives, or visualize a successful future beyond the current issue. 

Mars into your sector of routine can increase your energy, workload or determination to forge ahead with a health/self-improvement regime. This is focused energy that gains momentum slowly, as you commit to making improvements and getting the job done. Venus/Neptune may distract you with vague partnership issues – what you’re hoping for (from another person) may be disappointed. On the plus side, if you keep yourself grounded in the reality of your situation, this can be a lovely, romantic influence that does nothing more than make you feel  good in the moment. 

Cancer

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of routine revisits a health or work issue from November 28th. You may once again be confronted by limits to what you can do, or an error that needs to be corrected. An obligation may need more attention, and your precise instructions or focus will be demanded. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can hi-light a specific error or weakness which was first revealed around November 24th-25th, but Chiron’s direct movement suggests there’s progress to be made now – watch for support from someone in authority, or a new/unusual approach to future goals. Changes in your career or your approach to your future/professional status will benefit you.

Mars into your sector of self-expression can trigger deep passion/attraction, or your desire to pursue something with a no-holds-barred intensity. You may throw yourself into a creative project, or throw yourself at someone. There can be positive or negative consequences, depending on where you’re focusing your energy. Venus/Neptune can distract you from what needs to be done, or encourage you to overindulge/put something off. Too, you may get confused with multiple priorities, and end up accomplishing nothing. This is why it’s so important that Mars’ energy is directed towards something healthy and empowering, because you will find it difficult to stay focused on the important things. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by what might be – keep reminding yourself of your immediate reality. Pay extra attention to health, especially diet. 

Leo

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of self-expression takes you back to November 28th. An answer, goal or conversation involving creative work, children or a new attraction will be revisited. A “no” may not be final. Or, you may be looking more closely at the parameters around what you want, or the work that needs to be done. The struggle to openly communicate may be an ongoing process (don’t give up). Mercury’s aspects Uranus Rx and Chiron will take you back to November 24th-25, where you once again confront an embarrassment, insecurity or hidden weakness. But this time, Chiron direct means progress, and an increased ability to make the most of new/unusual solutions. 

Mars into your domestic sector can intensify family conflict, or see you digging deeper into home repairs, a home business or issues with relocation. The urge to make progress at home can become quite strong, but Venus/Neptune may throw you off track with an attraction, distraction or celebration. This aspect is ripe with temptation, and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of indulgence. But make sure the lure of something/someone larger than life doesn’t compromise your financial or emotional resources. Addiction is a risk. 

Virgo

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your domestic sector revisits a family discussion or home document from November 28th. You may be going back over the terms, rules or responsibilities, while questioning what needs to be done. An ending may not be final, yet. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can pull you back to painful relationship discussions/memories from November 24th-25th. But this time, Chiron direct suggests some compromise and mutual empathy can ease the sting. You may both be able to find a solution if you pool your resources. 

Mars into your communication sector adds heft to your words and obsession to your ideas. A concept (or challenge) may arouse your passion, and you certainly have the energy to pursue this to the limit. Or, burn it to the ground. Be mindful of your audience. Venus/Neptune suggests some harmlessly indulgent moments with a partner. Or, there can be less pleasant issues like deceptions, disappointments or inflated expectations. Before you get excited about what someone else is offering (or what you think they’re offering) make sure you get all the facts. 

Libra

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your communication sector revisits a verbal or written line in the sand, from November 28th. The answer or official result will be questioned, and any delays will involve going back over the rules. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron refer back to November 24th-25th, as a flaw, health issue or problem with work is brought up again. However, this time Chiron is direct, so a solution or workaround (with the assistance of a partner) will be easier to implement. 

Mars into your sector of personal resources can fire up your possessiveness, ambition to earn or pursue something that you feel you must have. This transit is excellent for strengthening your resolve to look after yourself, but Venus/Neptune will confuse things, temporarily. Watch out for distracting words, beautiful promises or appealing visions – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Keep your focus on the essentials, and stay strong. Too, you could be the one who’s offering up questionable explanations. If this is the case, know that sugar-coating an issue or offering empty praise won’t help you out.

Scorpio

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of personal resources takes you back to a financial/emotional discussion or agreement from November 28th. The terms may be up for reconsideration, or, you may have second thoughts about the boundaries you put in place. Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron will refer back to November 24th-25th, when an insecurity or lack of essential resources was emphasized. Now that Chiron is direct, that area of sensitivity won’t disappear, but you should be able to figure out how to work around it, or even make it work for you. Discussion or brainstorming is key.

Mars into your sign can help with the above, as you’re given a shot of willpower and determination. You can move mountains with this transit, and even though Mercury is Rx (not the best time to start something brand new) Mars can certainly help you push forward with even more intensity than usual. However, Venus/Neptune may briefly throw you off track with some unwise expenditures or loss of focus. You may be spend too much or forget about you boundaries, as you attempt to distract yourself from an unpleasant situation. Although Saturn is about to leave your sector of personal resources, don’t undermine all the hard work and focus you’ve applied to finances and personal boundaries. Stay strong. 

Sagittarius

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sign will revisit a conversation, official agreement or ending from November 28th. What was underlined and signed is still up for debate, as boundaries, requirements and details are put under the microscope. You may be the one asking the questions, or someone else may be analyzing your commitment or proof. Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can reopen a sore spot from November 24th-25th, as wounds from the past are once again up for discussion. But Chiron direct means you can now move on the from the past, and your confidence to forge a better future will be key. 

Mars into your hidden sector will activate background potentials or secrets, and something hidden may become a bit of an obsession. Actions will not be completely driven by conscious intent, so use caution and (if possible) wait until you have all the facts before you go public. Venus in your sign, square Neptune, will add to the confusion and will increase the possibility of taking a detour. You may feel quite strongly that this is what you want, or that this is the best thing for everyone. Consider that you may only be seeing what you want to see. 

Capricorn

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your hidden sector indicate that a secret or background ending from November 28th will be getting a second look. You could be reviewing the process, or questioning whether this is really final. More hidden information could emerge, and Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can reignite a painful conversation/realization from November 24th-25th. But this time, Chiron direct suggests you can move past the issue, even as you’re delving into background information. The quieter you are, or the deeper you look, the more healing you can access. 

Mars into your social sector can ignite conflict or challenges in a friendship, group or your relationship with the public. Your intense efforts to gain control or uncover results may trigger confrontations, and Venus/Neptune can make it difficult to see what’s really happening. Misunderstandings, hidden attractions or unspoken wants can muddy the waters. 

Aquarius

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your social sector revisits a social boundary, discussion with a friend or official public statement from November 28th. Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron will again raise painful topics and financial/emotional insecurities (from November 24th-25th) but Chiron’s current direct motion will allow you to see a way around these issues. Have faith that your unique perspective or search for unusual solutions will work out. 

Mars into your career sector can fire up your ambitions, or some conflict with management. You may feel an intensified urge to compete, push ahead or put your foot down about something you feel passionately about. There’s a lot of power here  – use it wisely. Venus/Neptune suggests blurred boundaries in a social relationship, or misjudged expectations about the nature of a friendship, group activity or your public image. Be conscious about what you’re projecting onto others, and what they’re projecting onto you. Are you being completely honest?

Pisces

Mercury Rx/Saturn says that it’s time for a second look at a career goal, job interview, discussion with management or issue with your professional image. Delays and revisions will take you back to November 28th, and Mercury’s aspects to Chiron in your sign, and Uranus Rx, will bring up awkward discussions or insecurities from November 24th-25th. But Chiron is now direct, so you should experience some release as you work through fears about lack of success, or your ability to handle extra responsibilities. 

Mars into your sector of opportunities can ignite your passion to fight for a cause, or can stir up activity in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Venus in your career sector, square Neptune in your sign, can stir up some confusion regarding who’s in authority, what’s appropriate or whether a new opportunity is valid. While this aspect does offer creative potential, it’s better if you approach all career issues with a careful eye on the facts – look for the proof and maintain your professional boundaries.
