  • Neptune in Pisces trine Ceres in Scorpio (13 deg)

Here we have unconditional nurturing. Ceres is mother’s nurturing, and in Scorpio, it is complete and fearless. Neptune dissolves boundaries and elevates this to something that approaches transcendence or sacrifice. The ease of the trine makes it effortless.

You might be nurturing something profound within yourself (deep self-care) or looking after someone who needs your love and protection. Scorpio’s Fixed nature means the ultimate commitment while Neptune’s energy of release is a gentle reminder that nothing is permanent – Ceres is part of a larger cycle. Perhaps you are experiencing a loss/death which is also a crucial part of the cycle of nurturing. The passage from one stage to the next can happen with tenderness and devotion.

Stocking Stuffers for the Astrofan

                    It’s that time of year again, and I have had a shufti around the internet and found some astrowonders to stiffen even the floppiest stocking. Every year one or other couture house goes astrowild — and this year it’s Givenchy, under the direction of Claire Waight Keller. The jewellery line is truly gorgeous — although you need a pretty long neck to get away with the earrings — and fat wallet, too. Someone would like you a lot if they received one of these little trifles in a stocking. There […]

  • Waxing Sextile between the Aquarius Moon and Sagittarius Sun (20 deg)

  • Sagittarius Sun inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Aquarius Moon square Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Mercury enters Sagittarius

Waxing Sextile

The Waxing Sextile urges you to step forward, as innovation blends with exploration and optimism. This is lively, hopeful energy – anything goes and it’s all possible. The future is wide open.

But there’s a small snag – the Sun and Moon make hard aspects to Juno Rx, which means the urge for freedom and progress will clash with a fixed relationship agreement. Taurus wants stability and this is essential for a commitment. But it’s also time for an injection of fresh potential. Juno is Rx which means the agreement is under review – what needs to change and can anything be preserved?

Mercury in Sagittarius

Mercury returns to Sagittarius. Mercury first entered this sign on October 31st, signalling new ideas and big stories. But Mercury’s Rx (on November 16th) and retreat from Sagittarius on December 1st meant there were questions about the story/promise. Now the questions have been answered and the you can look at the truth in a new light (perhaps a whole new truth).

0 to 13 deg Sag is part of Mercury’s “shadow zone” (the degrees it passed over when it was Rx) so you may be revisiting repeat issues until December 24th/25th, but there should be a sense of greater freedom and perspective. The conversation can now move forward with fresh insight.

Consider how this can be applied to any fixed/stubborn relationship issues indicated by Juno Rx. Is there a new way to continue the conversation? Can the agreement be reframed?
