December 12-18

  Sun: Sagittarius 20°-27°    Moon: Leo-Scorpio

The Sun enters the 3rd decan of Sagittarius this week and we are starting to see how the outerworld is shifting with the new storylines now in play. We are all working on creating our new character for this new environment. Stay open to new options, and be patient with others as they try their own options out. We are entering into a period of slowing down, going inward, and processing the changes that are taking place.

The Sun starts the week out with a sextile to Saturn in Aquarius at 20° and we are being asked to find a new harmony between the new feelings we have around our new story, and the self-discipline we need to maintain in order to achieve the vibe we want to have going forward. What journey are you ready to take next? What vibe will you need to maintain in order to stay on that route? 

On Wednesday the Sun will make a square to Neptune, who is now direct, in Pisces at 22°. You may be asked to make a decision to let go of certain paths in order to fully connect with the new path you are taking. Once you have found where you sense you belong now, unexpected and sudden changes could occur to help get you there. 

The Sun is changing degrees into the early evening this week and we will begin a period of time where we will have 2 different degrees ruling the day. As always, in the daily updates, the time of degree change for the Sun is always listed at the top in EST. You may start to feel like your days feel longer, and that you are able to get more things done. You may also feel like you’re always playing catch up from the day before. Use this time for evening reflection before making decisions and taking action. (in otherwords- “Sleep on it” Pretty perfect since we are entering a time where 2 personal planets, Mars and Mercury will be retrograde. And in God’s cosmic order- the days will go back to single degrees (ie. changing degree before 8am EST) the week Mars and Mercury station direct. This is the first year in our new storyline, spend time feeling out the changes and notice where any tug of wars may be happening. 

Mercury and Venus are now both in Capricorn, with Mercury currently leading the way. Mercury is beginning to slow down as he has entered his shadow period of his upcoming retrograde from 24°-8° and any aspects he makes over the next couple of weeks will be revisited. Venus will make her way through Capricorn, leaving Mercury behind in January, and is helping us open up to new ways to achieve based on our new desires. It will take our minds a little longer to catch up as we rewire our perspective to fit the needs of our new self-discipline strategies. Take your time and don’t worry about trying to start anything new at the moment, just tie up any old loose ends that may still be hanging around  so you will have the time and space you need once Mercury (and Mars) are direct mid-January.  

It is certainly worth noting that this is familiar territory, as Venus had her retrograde from 26°-11° of Capricorn at the beginning of this year and Mercury stationed direct at 24° of Capricorn during his first retrograde of 2022 in late January/early February. (Look back at your journal!) We have been opening up to a new level of responsibility and commitment in our daily life, and we are now gearing up to examine what needs to really change to achieve the new goals we have opened up to for the future.

Mercury squares Chiron (retro) in Aries at 11° on Thursday overnight and trines the North Node in Taurus at 12° in the morning. This could be a day where you are needing to make a choice to further heal towards your new integrity and the integration you are seeking between your mindset and your behaviors. His trine to the North Node is bringing about the support our minds may need in taking on these new habits that will ultimately help us manifest in the future. 

Mercury trines Uranus (still retro) in Taurus at 15° on Saturday and our minds are opening up to a new vision of what the identity we are refining looks like. These two will meet up two more times in this trine, once on Jan 8 when they are both retrograde at 15°, and a third time, when they are both direct on Jan 29 at 14°. It is interesting to note that Uranus moves several days after Mercury goes direct. Get ready to move ahead with the details of your new identity then! 

Mars (retro) in Gemini moves from 14°-12° this week and we are reviewing the ego behaviors we felt we belonged with in the past that reflected the beliefs that we used to have. Now that we have acquired new knowledge, and continue to develop new understandings we may see very strongly the roots of our old behavioral patterns. This will help us in our reconsideration processes around how we behave and what behaving with our new beliefs might look like. 

Jupiter is taking its time at 29° of Pisces for another week (making a total of 16 days here) and you could feel a little tested on how you are expanding into those new ideas and opportunities that are available to you now. Go ahead, make yourself a Christmas list for your life. What experiences are you ready to have? What are you sure you want to do in this lifetime? It’s time to explore all of the possibilities, and while doing so gracefully wave goodbye the old storylines you are leaving behind. 

Saturn in Aquarius moves to 21° on Friday, and we are beginning to see how what we are committed to, based on our beliefs, creates the vibe that we are emitting and hoping to attract others with. You may see where you need to realign your commitments to better achieve the vibe you desire. Once our commitments match our beliefs we can begin to attract the people and situations we need to achieve our goals.

Chiron (retro) in Aries moves to 11° on Monday and the healing process we are moving through around our behaviors and response style begins to filter through what integrity of character used to mean, and what it means now. You may see more strongly the old characteristics you are wanting to move away from. Be mindful, and gentle with others who are also doing the same. As we are all seeing a new integrity with ourselves and our behaviors, we may have to eat some humble pie (or pickled foot) this holiday as we begin the work of refining what integrity of character means now. 

Uranus (still retro) is at 15° for several more weeks, and is helping us to reconsider the vision that we had opened up to around how we wish to manifest our identity. Once we have a better grip on the commitments we need to make and how our egodrive has changed, we will have a better idea of what identity we wish to manifest with going forward. Until then, chew on your options. 

Neptune in Pisces is moving forward with the cosmic puzzle pieces that must align to take you to the next path. Feel into your intuitive awareness to see where things are aligning for you, or where you are strongly drawn. Your higher self is whispering to you where you truly belong, pay attention to signs and symbols that will assist your mind in accepting it. Mercury makes 3 sextiles to Neptune at this degree starting next week, so we will have multiple opportunities to grasp the message God is sending us. 

Pluto in Capricorn is now at 27° and you may feel a forward momentum occur around the structures you are building for your life. It’s time to work via your reframed schedule/pay grade. You are building a specific style of structure for your new life and you are in the process of ordering the appropriate fixtures. What are your transformation behaviors? 

Black Moon Lilith in Cancer moves to 27° on Tuesday and continues her opposition to Pluto. This could put those transformation behaviors in quite the tight rope as we face fears around the self care actions we have taken for ourselves in the past. It’s time to level up and plan according to the new care that we need. Whatever fears you have around self-care are based on an old way of valuing yourself. To get to where you are going and to achieve your new goals, you’re going to have to recognize what your new care needs are and implement them into the new structures you are building.
