Overview

December 24th brings an exact square between Neptune in Pisces and Mercury in Sagittarius. This square was almost exact on November 16th, but Mercury stationed Rx and backed away before it perfected. Mercury in Sag is expansive ideas/promises/hopes, but the square to Neptune hinted at illusion. Now as the square perfects on Christmas Eve, you’ll face that illusion or lie head-on, and truth waits on the other side. 

December 27th sees Mars in Pisces trining the Cancer North Node – creative, empathetic or intuitive actions will activate your path forward towards an area that feels (Cancer) real because it is based on what you actually need. Mars in Pisces is about flow – allow yourself to move towards what feels right.

Education, travel, legal matters, publishing or ideals will be involved. 

Mars in your hidden sector trine the North Node encourages behind the scenes or intuitive actions. Progress on the domestic front is favoured if you act from a place of instinct and allowing.

Taurus

Mercury in your sector of shared resources square Neptune can uncover a lie or illusion involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. This was first hinted at on November 16th, and now the deep or uncomfortable conversation/information can reveal what’s been ignored.

Mars in your social sector trine the North Node signals progress regarding friends, groups or your public image. A public message, plans for the future or social discussion can energize your awareness of what ideas really matter to you, and how important it is for you to speak from the heart. As Mars conjoins Chiron, watch for social actions to trigger forgiveness, increased compassion or the confrontation with a public vulnerability. 

Gemini

Mercury in your partnership sector square Neptune brings back a conversation or suspicion from November 16th. At that time, a personal or professional partnership may have featured unclear details, unspoken promises or miscommunication. Now the other person may bring up the issue again, or you may be confronted with the tension between future ideals versus their words. Watch for clarification but also some disillusionment as you see the full truth. 

Mars in your career sector trine the North Node signals professional and financial  progress, as your efforts support future security. A new job, new source of income or new approach to self-worth/satisfaction will be enabled by your ambitions, but Mars conjunct Chiron indicates that this will not be about raw aggression or the typical path to success.

In some cases, your work may directly involve healing others, which can increase your security base.

Leo

Mercury in your sector of self-expression square Neptune suggests romantic or creative words that are out of touch with reality. November 16th originally hinted at an expansive wish or hope which promised far more than was possible (you may have seen only what you wanted to see). Now you’ll see what’s actually behind the veil, and while there may be some disappointment, there’s also great creative potential if the energy is directed correctly. 

Mars in your sector of shared resources trine the North Node can activate hidden potentials or needs that have been denied.

Scorpio

Mercury in your sector of personal resources square Neptune can bring you to a turning point regarding a vague financial or self-esteem issue.

Financial documents/discussions can be revealed as false or in need of major revisions. 

Mars in your sector of self-expression trine the North Node activates ambitions  or confidence to move into a new area.

Perhaps you need to act on something you’ve been avoiding. 

Capricorn

This could be the confrontation with a lie or conversation you’ve been avoiding. As you move forward, watch for a truth to emerge. 

Mars in your communication sector trine the North Node indicates that ideas supported by actions will enable an empathetic path forward in all one-on-one situations.
