New
Moon Dec 2 at 7:22 PM EST/ 4:22 PM PST at 10 Sag 59. Squares Chiron
at 9 Pisc and trines Uranus retro at 8 Ari. Future-looking, good time for
experimentation and perhaps some risk.
Full Moon
Dec 17 at 4:28 AM EST/ 1:28 AM PST from 25 Gem 36. A quiet Full Moon.
The action is with Mars starting to form a Cardinal T-Square with Uranus
and Pluto (see below).
Planetary
Changes:
Uranus
Stationary turning Direct Dec 17 at 12:39 PM EST/ 9:39 AM PST at 8
Ari 35. Heading back to yet another (the 5th) square to Pluto. This station
intensifies as well the opposition with Mars at 5 Libr. A shaky time.
Venus
Stationary turning Retrograde Dec 21 at 4:53 PM EST/ 1:53 PM PST at
28 Cap 58.
Mercury
into Sagittarius Dec 4 at 9:42 PM EST/ 6:42 PM PST.
Mars
into Libra Dec 7 at 3:41 PM EST/ 12:41 PM PST.
Sun
into Capricorn Dec 21 at 12:11 PM EST/ 9:11 AM PST.
Mercury
into Capricorn Dec 24 at 5:12 AM EST/ 2:12 AM PST.
Key
Aspects:
Sun squares
Chiron Dec 1 at 12:40 AM EST/ Nov 30 at 9:40 PM PST from 9 Sag 11.
Mercury
squares Neptune Dec 6 at 4:30 PM EST/ 1:30 PM PST from 2 Sag 43. With
Jupiter retro at their midpoint. Watch out for confusion, misunderstanding,
wishful thinking.
Mercury
squares Chiron Dec 10 at 11:31 PM EST/ 8:31 PM PST from 9 Sag 20.
Mars
opposes Uranus stationary Dec 25 at 3:33 AM EST/ 12:33 AM PST from 8
Libr 36. Joined by Moon at 1 Libr to form a critical Cardinal T-Square with
Pluto at 11 Cap. Sun and Mercury are also in early Cap and participating.
That’s 6 planets showing tension these several days (see below). Christmas
has had some tough aspects these last few years. This aspect particularly
adds upset, surprises, impulsive acts.
Sun
conjuncts Mercury Dec 29 at 1:27 AM EST/ Dec 28 10:27 PM PST at 7 Cap
41.
Mercury
squares Uranus stationary Dec 29 at 3:48 PM EST/ 12:48 PM PST from 8
Cap 39. The Cardinal T-Square is particularly tight right now. Not the most
stable of times. Does Mercury rule transportation? Let’s see…
Sun
squares Uranus stationary Dec 30 at 12:04 AM EST/ Dec 29 at 9:04 PM
PST from 8 Cap 39. In the Eastern Standard time zone, this moment has Mars
on the AC, Pluto-Sun-Mercury on the IC, Uranus on the DC and Jupiter retro
on the MC.
Mars
squares Pluto Dec 30 at 8:21 PM EST/ 5:21 PM PST from 11 Lib 13. It
continues…Harsh acts, or acts that transform.
Mercury
conjuncts Pluto Dec 31 at 6:25 AM EST/ 3:25 AM PST at 11 Cap 14. Just
about exactly square Mars. How is this year ending for you?
Mercury
squares Mars Dec 31 at 9:59 AM EST/ 6:59 AM PST from 11 Cap 28. Just
a reminder that this challenging time is directly tied to aggression, the
military, communication and transportation.
In
addition, Mercury sextiles Mars Dec 3, Mercury trines Uranus Dec 10, Jupiter
trines Saturn Dec 12, Sun sextiles Neptune Dec 24, Mercury sextiles Neptune
Dec 25-26, Mercury sextiles Chiron Dec 30, Sun sextiles Chiron Dec 31.
