December 15th, 2019: Jupiter Trine Uranus (A Solid Opportunity)

Anders Zorn

  • Jupiter in Capricorn trine Uranus RX in Taurus (2 deg)

Here we have a balanced blend of innovation and realism. Any combo of Jupiter (expansion, optimism) and Uranus (surprise, liberation) can bring a sudden flash of luck. But when this energy is grounded in the Earth signs you have a valuable opportunity to move in a favourable direction while building something that lasts. This is the promise that’s backed up by physical proof.

The trine delivers energy that runs along a path of least resistance, so this opportunity may slide into your life naturally. It may seem a bit unusual but very promising-don’t ignore it! You can safely step outside your comfort zone by expanding structures/traditions/authority (Capricorn) and tapping into the updates that are happening with your finances,, values or security (Taurus). 

Especially good for business matters, construction or physical health.

December 14th, 2019: The Cancer Moon

  • Cancer Moon opposite Saturn in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Cancer Moon opposite Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Cancer Moon and Sagittarius Sun (22 deg)

  • Cancer Moon opposite Venus in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Cancer at 10:56 AM EST

  • Moon enters Leo at 10:55 PM EST

The sensitive Cancer Moon is hit with some difficult oppositions as Saturn suggests an impassable wall or ending, and Pluto indicates forced transformation. The vibe is heavy, with unavoidable challenges that push you to look after your own needs (this is not a warm and nurturing moment). Parental dynamics will be strong, whether you’re recalling unpleasant moments from childhood, dealing with a current tradition or struggling to parent yourself.

The Waning Inconjunct can make honouring those needs awkward but necessary. The sense that you should just “relax” or not take things so personally will be strong, and indeed there will be reason to maintain your perspective. But what you’re feeling on a personal level is valid and cannot be ignored.

The last aspect before the Moon goes VOC is an opposition to Venus: the tension between wants versus needs can make a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue seem impossible. Wants will be intensified along with the rift between between status versus comfort and success versus self-protection. Use the VOC period to contemplate what holds priority in your heart.

As the Moon enters Leo, watch for a welcome shift in the energy as confidence and the urge to make the most of who you are/what you have returns. What’s most important? You are.

Astrology of Now: The Game’s Up

Well, mendacity, greed and cruelty won last night’s unpopularity contest. That is the Conservative party won the UK general election — in England and Wales. It was also a victory for the Saturn-Pluto conjunction — a conjunction that means The End, as discussed in this post. The UK will now leave the European Union quickly, […]
