The December 12th Full Moon at 19 deg Gemini (12:12 AM EDT) will square Neptune in Pisces. A square to Neptune is a crisis driven by disbelief or deceit. The results of this Full Moon may appear to have limitless choices and information (Gemini) as Neptune dissolves facts and creates confusion.

But what looks limitless or complex (shifting layers of truth) could actually be one, big illusion. Don’t get distracted by what-ifs. Focus on what you know, and if you don’t know anything, take a step back. Sometimes a distant perspective can help you see things more clearly.

This Moon will make a difficult inconjunct to the separating conjunction between Saturn and Venus in Capricorn. So there will be some strict realities (regarding a relationship, financial or self -esteem issue) that you’ll have to acknowledge. Limits or responsibilities around what you want can actually clear up some of the confusion. Certain choices will simply not be available.

While the inconjunct will be frustrating, don’t allow it to overwhelm you. This culmination is not all about what you can’t have or what you’re responsible for. You need to find the balance between wishful optimism versus hard truths. Honour the realities but don’t let them crush you. If it turns out that an illusion is being restricted, isn’t that for the best?

December 12th, 2019: Chiron Direct

  • Chiron stations direct in Aries (1 °)

When Chiron stationed RX on July 8th at 5° Aries, it was a process of going back over old wounds and reactivating sore spots. Situations may have reoccurred as a way of testing you-had you really dealt with that vulnerability? Maybe you found yourself fighting the same battle.

Now as Chiron moves forward it will once again activate 1-5° Aries. So even though you’ll be going over the same ground again, there should be a sense of progress and increased courage. Now you know what to expect and you’ve been tested and tempered.

Of course, Chiron will station retrograde again (on July 11, 2020) but it will be permanently done with 1-3° Aries as of March 1, 2020. So if you have anything in the Cardinal signs at these degrees, you can experience some relief-your battle is over (at least when it comes to Chiron in Aries). 

As Chiron moves forward, watch for an increase in motivation or a feeling that you’re ready to confront what’s made you vulernable. Chiron is also the teacher, so you can look at these transits as an ongoing lesson. What wisdom have you gained from the review?

Gemini Full Moon: A Little Deeper

This morning, while centering, rooting and grounding, I watched a dove walking around on my lanai, and since we feed a group of birds every morning, I know it is a place that it has probably visited over dozens of times before. Then why did it look like it was visiting Earth for the very […]

What Astrologers Are Saying About The UK December Election

What a lousy election. What a lousy choice. Still, there’s always astrology to ding around with while the old structures crumble around our ears during this Pluto-Saturn cheek-to-cheek. A Void of Course Moon in Gemini on the night means, traditionally, it ain’t goin’ nowhere — nothing will come of it. Furthermore, Saturn in Capricorn will […]

  • Venus in Capricorn conjunct Saturn (19°)

What you want will be defined and limited. There will be rules around money, relationships or how you express self- esteem. These rules will make your responsibilities undeniable; for example, the work that you must do in order to manifest what you want. You may feel pressured, and this will define the absolute reality of what you love and how you love.

If you’re comfortable with reality, this conjunction can herald a solid commitment that makes you happy. This is about the security of knowing exactly where you stand with someone else, with your finances and your values. This can also be about taking control of a relationship or yourself-exercising maturity and authority In order to manifest something good.

But if you’ve been avoiding reality or your responsibilities, this can represent a difficult obstacle that denies you what you want and forces you to restrain your spending/indulgence/expressions of affection.

A conjunction is a new beginning. The last time Venus and Saturn met up was on February 18th, 2019. A situation has come full circle since then. Consider if the rules and limits have changed, or if your approach to them has. If you’ve been trying to build financial, relationship or inner security, this is the time to take stock of how far you’ve come.

In some cases, a situation may mature to the point where it has reached its natural conclusion. Therefore, the new beginning will consist of what lies beyond the finish line.
