Retrograde Mercury will return to the sign of Sagittarius tomorrow, but today, it aligns with the Sun early in the sign of Capricorn. This inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun gives us a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. This is a good time to process recent events and ideas. We begin looking at problems or issues from a fresh perspective and a new understanding.

Significant new ideas are born at this time and will likely have real staying power or importance in our lives. What we say or write now has an impact, for better or worse! However, we may not have all the facts necessary to reach a definite conclusion, and we might have to revise plans or decisions later.

There is some tendency to want to get started before we have a good plan, as Mars and Jupiter form a minor square. This aspect excites our desire to do something new and produces some agitation and competitive feelings that can either distract us or spur us to improve. Enthusiasm and motivation can be incredible if we know where to channel excess energy. Still, overconfidence and overestimation of what we can do may lead to poor decisions or regrettable actions. We can also be rather argumentative and reactive with this combination.

The Sun enters Capricorn today, where it will transit until January 20th. During this cycle, we’re motivated by feelings of responsibility, ambition, and respect for law and order. Completion and accomplishment are satisfying during this Sun transit. Capricorn wants tangible results, knows what is feasible, and is most comfortable working within an established framework and known boundaries or limits. Standards, structures, and an appreciation for order are Capricorn themes. Working towards a long-term goal is the most motivating with this influence.

Mercury’s sextile to Saturn this morning grounds our thinking. We might return to a practical conversation or method with success now. Reasoning things logically and step by step can be beneficial and even soothing.

With Mars quincunx Uranus, however, we could be dealing with minor changes of plans or a restless urge for change that interferes with the flow. Some fear of change can stop us in our tracks temporarily. Our efforts to satisfy our desires can miss the mark, but this gives us a chance to make refinements and recalibrate.

The Moon is void from 9:47 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to the Sun), until the Moon enters Ta**us at 9:50 PM EST (very brief).

~ ASTROLOGY ~ Wednesday, DECEMBER 20

The Moon spends the day in dynamic, energetic Aries. However, retrograde Mercury forms a semi-square to Venus this morning, and our words may not reflect what’s in our hearts. As we try to get the words just right, we could fall short with sensitivity. We may be in two minds about a matter–decisions can be hard to come by. Nevertheless, we’re making an extra effort to cooperate.

Venus forms a semi-sextile to Mars and heads toward an opposition to Uranus, exact very early tomorrow. We may struggle with whether to take a direct or indirect approach to getting what we want when we may be better off recognizing that it doesn’t have to be one way or the other–a combination would be ideal, or else the see-sawing can be confusing to all.

As the day advances, unexpected events or feelings may take us off guard. Our feelings, attractions, or people in our lives can surprise us now. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are themes in our social interactions. Our needs for comfort and togetherness appear to clash with the desire to be free and independent. Indeed, we can experience sudden infatuations, whether with people or material items, that later prove less appealing.

As such, it’s not a good time to start a significant financial undertaking or relationship — not until rebellious feelings pass and we gain a better sense of how we honestly feel. Falling back on old patterns of relating won’t work now. Still, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves to new ways of relating that accommodate our diverse needs.

Emotional battles are won or lost based on belief; what you believe about yourself becomes your reality. As the saying goes "whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." If we believe that we have no control over our emotions or fears, then we've already lost.

When we no longer give permission to anyone else to decide how we feel, then we are standing up for ourselves and our battles are no longer fought with our self, but FOR our self. What we have to understand is that the beliefs of others are just illusions, they're not real, they are creations of their own subconscious mind and to be afraid of what other people believe or think about you will make your mind see a threat in every shadow.

It is your job to be responsible for creating your own reality and your own belief system based on your own truths and not the experiences or expectations of anyone else. Instead of believing that you are weak and afraid, *choose* to believe that there is the heart of a warrior in you that never gives up, never gives in, never backs down and ALWAYS gets back up. You get to choose who you are, no one else gets to have that power but you. You are who YOU say you are - and when you feel bruised and battered, get back up and say to yourself "I am not yet done here."

~ ASTROLOGY ~ Tuesday, DECEMBER 19

The Moon continues in Pisces until 5:47 PM EST today, encouraging the need to connect with our inner world. A First Quarter Moon occurs as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a square with the Moon in Pisces at 1:39 PM EST. A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. It can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also high energy, motivation, and growth.

Mercury’s minor square to Uranus points to minor missteps or interruptions. We may need to manage some inconveniences in our communications and transit. There can also be difficulties following a schedule. The Moon heads into Aries at 5:47 PM, and we want to start fresh. We crave self-direction.

The Moon is void from 4:03 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries at 5:47 PM EST.

Mercury forms a trine to Jupiter this morning, stirring our curiosity. Mercury first formed a trine to Jupiter on December 7th, and with Mercury’s retrograde, is now returning to this aspect. This aspect will perfect for a third and final time on January 19th.

Today, we can return to a previous idea from a new perspective. Mercury in harmony with Jupiter boosts our optimism and faith. We might gain a positive outlook through conversations and a sense of hope or trust in the future. We are seeking extra meaning to our projects and experiences.

A Venus-Pluto quintile can point to a comfortably strategic approach to our money and relationships today. Today’s Pisces Moon is compassionate, warm, and sometimes meandering. Its square to Mars this evening can be restless, however.

A Venus-Chiron quincunx occurs today, and insecurity might make it awkward to express our affections naturally or flowingly. There could be feelings of discontent temporarily.

The energies of the second half of the day are more straightforward, even with the Moon’s move into Pisces. There’s a serious, responsible, and ambitious tone as the Moon aligns with Saturn this evening. Situations that require us to keep a cool head work best under this influence since we’re not as easily swept away by our feelings. We’re inclined to buckle down and work, organize, and plan.

The Moon is void from 7:04 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:58 PM EST.

~ ASTROLOGY ~ Saturday, DECEMBER 16

This morning, our thoughts and discussions are intense, targeted, and investigative. It’s a time for getting to the bottom of a perplexing matter. As the day advances, however, the Sun’s square to Neptune can diffuse our energy, and we can struggle with our direction. If we’ve lacked inspiration or motivation, we can feel it more acutely now. This influence tends to blur boundaries. We may deal with disorganization, impracticality, or a temporary energy drain. Ideally, we come up with ideas for refueling.

This transit challenges us to consider our needs for inspiration and imagination, which might conflict with our plans and goals. We may need to confront the areas of our lives where reality isn’t measuring up to our ideals. Until we find ways to incorporate more spirit into our lives, it’s hard to feel motivated.

Still, it can be a time of increased spiritual awareness and vision, even if we initially struggle with this. There may be detours or distractions to deal with now. Sun-Neptune amps up uncertainty, and we can either go with that flow or resist it and feel a little lost temporarily until we regroup.

This is your reminder that whatever stress you’re carrying will not be yours to carry forever. I promise you won’t always feel this way. This is your reminder that some people are not meant to be in your life forever, sometimes the wrong people must leave in order for you to find those who are right. Sometimes your heart has to break in order for it to be truly whole again. Sometimes you have to make mistakes in order to learn how to become better. Sometimes you have to fail in order to find what you love. This is your that sometimes endings are necessary — doors need to close so that the right ones can open.

Mars forms a trine to Chiron today, and we could have the opportunity to take the lead or to take action with matters that lead to healing, cleansing, or teaching. We’re fearlessly addressing problem areas. We may be defending and helping others, and we’re in great shape for cooperation and purposeful activity. It’s a good time to work on problem areas.

This transit opens us up to regeneration and repair. It’s straightforward to channel our energy constructively. We’re ready to stand up for others and feel vital, spirited, and positive. It’s a time of seeing the way around–or over–obstacles and hurdles.

The Moon continues to transit Capricorn until 12:56 PM EST, when it moves into Aquarius.

The Moon is void from 11:03 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 12:56 PM EST.

The Moon spends the day in Capricorn, and we strive for increased self-sufficiency. We’re incredibly goal-oriented and particularly aware of our responsibilities and performance. Our judgment is sound, and practical matters are a significant focus.

The Capricorn Moon is responsible, astute, and security-minded, and since Capricorn is a cardinal sign, it’s also action-oriented. This Moon grounds us on the one hand and stimulates our ambitions on the other.

The Sun heads toward a trine to the True North Node of the Moon, exact very early tomorrow, stirring us to aspire to our goals, rise to a challenge, and grow and improve. We’re progressing, and cooperation can bring rewards today.

Mercury stations and turns retrograde today in the sign of Capricorn, and it will continue its retrograde journey until January 1st. Some delays or information clogs are possible.

With Mercury retrograde in Capricorn until the 23rd, we may have little tolerance for small talk and tend to express ourselves after much deliberation. Plans may be considered and then reconsidered. We are in a good position to reevaluate professional or life path plans and goals. It’s also a fine time to explore what ambition or our reputation means to us. During this cycle, our thinking turns inward as we review and reassess matters.

Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness–times when meditation, journaling, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored more than usual. Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication and transportation can reconnect us to other, possibly more meaningful, means of connecting.

The more difficult times are the periods of the shifts themselves (the days surrounding the stations — today and January 1st), after which we grow more and more accustomed to the motion.

There can be tensions if we feel powerless or overshadowed as Mars and Pluto form a semi-square this morning. We could find it challenging to express ourselves in healthy, direct ways. Our desires can be both intense and difficult to satisfy. Efforts to make changes could be thwarted, or power struggles emerge. This is not an ideal time for straightforward interactions.

The Moon is void from 1:49 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 10:32 AM EST.
