Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on December 5 occurs in Sagittarius, your polar sign and 7th House of relationships.  If your birthday is within a day or so of June 4th you can expect to see something new in this part of your life.  It will bring some opportunities to define or structure something with regard to your children, romantic interests or possibly a hobby or speculation which also involves someone close to you.  Any work issues which have been bothering you in some way are favored to find a solution as the true issue comes to light.  Someone who may have been causing a few challenges with regard to your career or public image may stirs things up but this same situation will also yield some inspiration or insights to your current beliefs.

The Full Moon on December 21 is in your Sign and also a Lunar Eclipse, which will give it some additional punch.  This will fall on your Natal Sun if your birthday is June 21st, give or take a day, which should have a significant personal impact.  Your Sign Ruler, Mercury, is retrograde at the time, implying this will involve something which needs to be revised, edited, repaired or revisited with regard to a close relationship.  There may be a few breakthroughs or disruptions to your status, career or reputation as a result or perhaps an event in that part of your life will kick off the relationship issue.  You typically have an open, analytical mind which will serve you well in this situation, whatever it happens to be.  Drawing inspiration from your beliefs or anything else you care about can provide substantial help in navigating the situation.  This eclipse is a member of the 13 North family in the Saros series and pertains to groups and associations, particularly major group projects.  According to Bernadette Brady, a bond will need to be broken that already exists or perhaps a separation needs to occur.  As an individual this can also indicate a separation followed by a group accomplishment.  At any rate, being an eclipse gives it more significance with its effects also prolonged until the next one which will be next summer.

Also bear in mind that Mercury will be messing with your holidays between December 10 - 30.  As your Sign Ruler this annoying occurrence probably causes you more trouble than others.  Remember that it is a favorable time to revise, review, reconsider and repair.  Since he will be transiting your 8th House of transformation and 7th of relationships, these will be the areas to scrutinize for putting that internalized energy to good use.

Daily and Short-term Aspects

December 1: Give some thought to your job, whether you enjoy it as you should, and what you may be able to do to improve the situation.

December 2:  This is a favorable day to take action with regard to a relationship, though you may not know what that action may be.  You may find that someone close to you gives you something new to consider.

December 3:  A disruption or unexpected event related to your career or reputation may bring some challenges today.

December 5:  Thoughts or information that could have a transformational effect may come your way today along with the New Moon, as described above.

December 6:  Uranus comes out of retrograde today which could bring about some major breakthroughs with regard to your career, reputation or status as opposed to the various disruptions and disturbances you've seen in this part of your life the past few months.

December 7:  Interactions with someone close to you may provide an opportunity for manifesting a creative project or some other endeavor which means a lot to you.

December 8:  Mars goes into Capricorn today which will last until mid-January 2011.  Capricorn is your 8th House, which can be a rather risky place for Mars.  Thus, don't take any unnecessary chances during this time, either physically or financially.  On the other hand, if you encounter some significant insights that require transformational energy to accomplish, this is a favorable time to go for it though the other risks remain.

December 10:  Your Sign Ruler, Mercury, stations retrograde today and will stay that way until December 30.  This is a time to take a timeout with regard to anything related to your current path and the affects on your relationships.  This is not to say that everything is going to grind to a screeching halt, but it is time to talk things through and make any necessary changes to keep those who mean the most to you happy and supportive of your efforts.

December 13:  Retrograde Mercury, Mars and Pluto will be converging today in what could result in a major "Aha!" moment.  However, all this energy could also present a problem.  Drive defensively, or if possible, not at all, as the risk of an accident or problem of some sort today is much higher than usual.

December 15:  If you're thinking of expanding your career, status or reputation, particularly as it relates to your job, this should be a very lucky and fortunate time to do so.

December 16:  Someone close to you may get in the way or present some sort of obstacle with regard to your ambitions.

December 18:  This is a very active day astrologically which should bring a variety of interesting situations.  You may get some new insights into a relationship which you'd previously missed, though you may also be able to arrive at another breakthrough with regard to advancing your job and/or career.  Expect a variety of things to come your way which may have more meaning than it appears at the time.  Remember that an eclipse is coming in a few days and sometimes its effects show up before it actually occurs.

December 19:  Mercury backs into Sagittarius, your 7th House of relationships, which will actually be helpful in resolving old arguments or issues.  Seeing someone or a situation more clearly is possible though an argument about your work, service activities or health may arise.

December 20:  Unexpected or disruptive news is likely to come your way.  It may not be entirely accurate, however, so check your sources.  Depending on what it happens to be, it may also bring the inspiration you need to tackle another issue.

December 21:  Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse today in Gemini.  Expanding your career, status or reputation will result in more conversations with someone close to you and another chance to revisit something that requires some changes to keep everyone happy.  The Sun goes into Capricorn, bringing emphasis to your 8th House of transformations, death and regeneration of both the physical and figurative kind, and shared resources, including debt.

December 22:  Be careful today and stay alert, though the tendency will be to let your mind wander.  Don't fall for everything you hear or take action on everything that looks appealing without thinking it through and getting all the information you need to make a sound decision.

December 23:  Expect some annoying obstacles or situations at work today.

December 26:  Seeing something you'd previous missed about a situation could occur today and precipitate an important experience after which you'll see things differently than before. 

December 27:  Conversations with someone close to you which relate to your work or work situation will arise today.

December 28:  Deep insights into your work or service activities which have a significant impact are possible.  This is an excellent day for research or digging up previously hidden information.

December 29:  Be particularly cautious today and expect to encounter a challenge which involves an authority figure.  Another possibility may be your ego holding you back or keeping you from seeing something important.

December 30:  Mercury goes direct today which will allow you to start making some progress with your relationships issues and anything else you're trying to accomplish.
