December is finally here! This month brings some MAJOR changes astrologically. We are just on the heels of a lunar eclipse in Gemini that occurred in the early hours of Monday morning. Gemini & Sagittarius people would be feeling this very strongly. Some of the more well known Gemini’s, Donald Trump & Mike Pence, are being affected by this, obviously, as well as Kamala Harris, who is Gemini rising. Joe Biden is Sagittarius rising. Big changes for all four players on the world stage!
The next eclipse in the Gem/Sag series occurs on December 14 at around 9am CST. This is the big one. We may see more developments on the election situation — see this Reuters article for more perspective on further potential drama.
The long awaited Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 0 degrees of Aquarius occurs on December 21 at around 11am CST. This signals many things, but for one, it brings some relief from all of the turmoil unfolding over the past couple years. Jupiter is traditionally thought of as being in it’s fall or depression in Capricorn, which is not great given that Jupiter is the greater benefic — the planet signaling ‘good’ things, vs Saturn that generally signifies difficult matters. We can expect big developments in the COVID-19 vaccine situation over the next couple months. Capricorn and Cancer people can breathe a sigh of relief with Saturn moving out of their signs by whole sign conjunction and opposition. Great Conjunctions signal many big shifts in the world, but especially when they change element. We are now entering a new 200 year cycle in Air signs. Air signs rule thought, information, communication, technology, and literally things that move in the air (infectious diseases spread by air, anyone?). My astrology teacher, Acyuta-bhava Dasa is doing a video series on the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction, which you can watch on YouTube, if you are interested to learn more! Aquarius people will be most affected by this conjunction, but also Capricorn, Sagittarius, & Pisces people.
What else does the eclipse signal? It depends on your rising sign. The Jupiter and Saturn ruled parts of your chart will be affected, more so than others depending on the house and whether or not you have planets in them. Interested to learn more? Contact me for a written eclipse report!
Gemini, Virgo & Sagittarius people may experience a sense of fogginess or low energy on December 13 and Mercury in Sag squares Neptune in Pisces. However, this is mitigated by an energetic trine to Mars the next day. Mercury will then be ‘reborn’ as he is consumed by the Sun’s beams on December 19, starting a new cycle. Mercury will be trine to Uranus on December 25, bringing unexpected news or developments, or a sense of liberation on this day. Capricorn people will experience this as well, particularly on December 27 as the Sun trines Uranus. Taurus people will probably feel this to some degree also.
Libra & Taurus people will be glad to know that their ruling planet, Venus, will move out of the sign of her depression/fall (Scorpio) on December 15, where she has been since November 21. Scorpio brings themes of endings, rebirth, deep introspection, and power dynamics — a difficult place for Venusian people and areas of life. Scorpio people will have found this period difficult also, with Venusian areas of life being challenging in some way for them.
Aries people will still be feeling energized with their ruling planet, Mars, now direct, though he is moving into a square with Pluto on December 23 (the energy will become palpable on December 22), which will be amplified by the Moon also being in Aries at the same time. This may be an intense day for both Aries and Capricorn people (Pluto is in Capricorn), as well as Scorpio people (Mars rules Scorpio). Beware of intense emotions / desires, feelings of obsession or anger on this day. Don’t do anything risky or rash! Libra people may feel it also, as the sign opposite Aries, and square with Pluto in Capricorn.
Beware of a tendency to overdo things on New Years Eve, especially Sagittarius, Taurus, Libra & Pisces people, but really, everyone, after the year we have all had, with Venus squaring intoxicating Neptune on December 30, with the energies of this transit more than likely spilling over into December 31. The Moon will be in party loving Leo, trine to Venus on New Years Eve, opposite excessive Jupiter, so it’s bound to be a hell of a (socially distanced) party!
As always, feel free to contact me if you need a reading. I am transitioning to primarily written readings, being the introvert that I am, with phone readings being offered also. $35 eclipse reports are available! Gemini & Sagittarius people, take note!
Love to all! <3
