Long-term Aspects and Lunations

This month the New Moon is on December 5 in your Sign which will be especially relevant if your birthday is on that day since it will be part of your Solar Return and thus in effect all year.  You'll be happy to know that most of the aspects associated with this lunation are friendly though there is one apparent challenge which will involve a variety of unexpected events arising at home which may keep you from doing what you want and you'll have to deal with.  However, there are numerous opportunities as well which should balance that out.  If you're trying to accomplish something be sure to seek assistance from your friends and any groups you're associated with.  Networking is favored as well and will help provide some structure to your approach.  With Pluto now transiting your 2nd House of finances, possessions and income you may be encountering some challenges in this area.  Pluto transits excel at flushing out anything that's been hidden, purposely or otherwise, and calls for a complete renovation of that part of your life.  There is a favorable aspect out there for that, however, which will help you identify any self-defeating spending habits you may have or anything else which is keeping you from getting where you want with that part of your life.  Putting together some goals, albeit New Years Resolutions, to that end, is also highly favored, even if you don't typically keep them past the middle of January; this time there's some help out there to make it stick.  You are also likely to have plenty of inspired ideas with regard to your personal ambitions.  Put your thinking cap on and write down what comes to mind so you don't forget it later.

The Full Moon on December 21 is in your polar sign, Gemini, which represents your 7th House of close relationships.  This also happens to be a Lunar Eclipse, giving it additional punch which could last as long as six months until the next one.  However, it may also represent closure of something that started with the last one during the summer.  This eclipse is a member of the 13 North family in the Saros series, the generic meaning of which pertains primarily to groups and associations involved in major projects.  In general, a bond needs to be broken or a separation occur before the project can be completed.  On an individual basis, it can mean that a separation will ultimately culminate in a joint achievement.  The aspects accompanying this specific lunation indicate some challenges via a T-square as well as some imaginative assistance through a triangle of potential.  The T-square comprises the Sun and Moon as well as Mercury, Uranus and your Sign Ruler, Jupiter.  Mercury is retrograde at this time, implying the need for revision or rethinking your position with regard to a relationship.  Major changes or disruptions at home may be involved, which are what present the challenges or roadblocks.  Your key here is to go back to the drawing board and seek inspiration to find a solution which will make it all work out to your satisfaction.

Daily and Short-term Aspects

December 1:  News or information which affects your finances is likely which you need to consider carefully.  This is not necessarily bad, but will represent an opportunity to pursue something you've been dreaming of.

December 2:  Moving forward is favored as the result of some inspired ideas, so listen carefully to what comes to mind and don't discount anything, no matter how crazy it may seem at the time.

December 3:  Unexpected events or situations at home may throw some obstacles in your way, but keep your ambitions in mind and don't be discouraged.

December 5:  New Moon today as described above.  Your ability to see things beneath the surface is enhanced today, especially with respect to your finances or possessions.  If you're considering buying something, yet have a bad feeling about it, listen to your instincts.

December 6:  Uranus comes out of retrograde which should help stabilize some of the disruptions you've had to your home life over the past few months.  Now is a time when you can make some significant changes that last rather than a series of fits and starts.

December 7:  An excellent day to give consideration to your personal goals and what it will take to attain them.  Write them down and include a proposed timeline.

December 8:  Deep insights into your finances or what will bring you the most happiness are likely today.  Mars goes into Capricorn, which will bring his energy into your 2nd House of finances and income.  Use this energy to pursue your goals in this area.  Failure to do so may result in a figurative attack on your assets.

December 10:  If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got.  If your finances are a bit of a wreck, take a timeout to discover what you need to do differently.  Mercury goes retrograde today until December 30 which will help you go back to the drawing board and figure out what needs to be done.

December 13:  Retrograde Mercury, Mars and Pluto converge in Capricorn today.  This is a whole lot of energy that has rather explosive potential.  Since this is occurring in your house of possessions be particularly careful with them today.  Drive defensively and be particularly careful around electricity or fire.  Malfunctions are particularly likely, so be careful.

December 15:  Today hold considerable promise as a very good, soul-satisfying day at home.  Hang on to your dreams and enjoy your blessings.

December 16:  A challenge you encounter today at home actually can turn out rather well.  Maintain your usual optimism and go for it.

December 18:  Today has a lot of astrological energy which is likely to manifest in significant ways.  This is another day where you can access inspired ideas if you put your mind to it.  Sudden insights with regard to your home situation are likely even if there are a few things that take you by surprise at the same time.  Put aside any self-defeating behavior you may have and be prepared to move forward.

December 19:  Mercury backs into your Sign today through retrograde motion.  This may feel as if you're driving with the brakes on but take this time to rethink and reconsider everything that's going on, what you want to achieve and how.  You can see things differently than before and find viable escape routes as required if you are willing to do a few things differently than before.

December 20:  Expect the unexpected but take the time to think it through rather than going with your first impression.  Again, look for some inspiration.

December 21:  Full Moon in your polar sign, Gemini, as described above.  If you feel as if you've been backed into a corner, see the challenge instead of defeat.  The Sun goes into Capricorn today which will bring more emphasis and focus to your finances and possessions.

December 22:  Beware of being too impulsive today because you may not be seeing things clearly or realistically.  Run any ideas past someone you trust before taking action.

December 23:  A friend may rub you the wrong way today, perhaps by hitting a nerve.  After you get past the hurt and anger give careful consideration to what they said; remember that truth hurts.

December 26:  If you've been wondering what was wrong with one of your possessions or your finances, today you'll have a clear picture of what it is.

December 27:  Spend some time in quiet contemplation today, rethinking how to solve your primary problem in an imaginative way.

December 28:  Be entirely honest with yourself today, even if you don't like it.  Be wary of deception from others as well as from ignoring the facts.

December 29:  Something is likely to arise that conflicts with your goals or responsibilities today which is likely to be of a financial nature.

December 30:  Mercury comes out of retrograde today so now is the time to return any malfunctioning electronic or mechanical devices you received over the holidays.
