✨December Astrology✨
This is actually all pretty good, there are absolutely zero surprises here and for a lot of us, it's just about making a slight mental shift under some energy that may be putting a bit of pressure on us.
New Moon in Sagittarius (Dec 12) just remember our mutable fire sign Sagittarius is represented by The Archer so a lot of the wisdom, optimism and expansion associated with this sign (and it's moon phases) are often tied to that concept of an arrow needing to be pulled backwards in order to propel forwards. With Jupiter still in Ta**us, we're going to really start feeling committed to making our dreams and goals (even the loftier “shoot for the stars” kind of ones) our reality some how, some way, some day and getting a deeper appreciation for how all the puzzle pieces have been coming together.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius & Capricorn (Dec 13 - Jan 1) Mercury can often unearth obstacles and opportunities in our path, particularly during a retrograde, it just isn't very subtle about it. Mercury only takes about 88 days to do a lap around the sun, so this energy does move fast and that in itself can be a little disconcerting. This Mercury Retrograde is likely to bring some truths front and centre for us, and this time, we might just be ready to take the plunge and lean right into it. It's also going to really be looking at our goals, our wealth (both the stuff you can count and the stuff you can't) and what's worth it, what's not, and what the long term goal is.
Mars is also now in Sagittarius, and will be until the 4th of January and it should already be making things feel better, bigger and brighter. Within us, if it isn't real we aren't going to want anything to do with it. Venus is also in Scorpio which will amplify our emotions and what (or who) we're passionate about. It's the kind of energy that will work us if we don't work with it, and it can make some of those things we don't want around us like impulsivity, jealousy and trust issues “worse” but it's not Venus, it's not Scorpio it's the fact that those feelings are already there and Scorpio doesn't leave stones unturned or skeletons in closets.
There's actually some really big opportunities to make progress here, but it will mean being incredibly real and raw.
Our heads are going to be all “oh it's end of year, it's the holidays, it's fun I'm not dealing with any of this now" but our heart and soul may interrupt and say “oh hi, I am”.
The Full Moon in Cancer on Dec 26 is going to really amplify for us that we can't hustle from the heart. That we could build an entire empire, amass stupid amounts of wealth, have every material thing we need and reach every goal we set but it doesn't make us feel happy or fulfilled. Cancer can be emotional, it can be dramatic, but one thing Cancer cannot do is fake it. If it's being felt, it will be known under this moon. Cancer is also deeply nurturing so this energy can and will feel a bit like a much needed hug at times.
