This week’s astrology forecast:

December 15th – 21st  

Message for the week:

The week starts with the Sun, Mercury and Venus all in normally inspired Sagittarius feeling hemmed in by a square to restrictive Saturn, deflating self-esteem and confidence—play within your limits at the start of the week. A potent, yet somewhat confusing, New Moon in Sagittarius occurs on Friday, the same day that 3I-Atlas is its closest to Earth, followed by the Winter Solstice on Sunday. The New Moon is the best time for new beginnings and a fresh start.

This New Moon squares other worldly Neptune, making one vulnerable to pursuing unrealistic fantasies, while Venus square Saturn will pop soap bubble fantasies. To avoid disillusionment, invite spirit into your life, rather than escape your life to find spirit.

The Winter Solstice occurs on Sunday as the Sun moves into Capricorn conjunct motivational Mars. The solstice is an excellent time to set your intentions for the winter season—set you sights for accomplishments high on the mountain with this ambitious energy.

Monday: Mars, the planet of initiating action, puts on its tool belt and is ready to get to work, having just moved into ambitious Capricorn. The Moon is in financially shrewd Scorpio with no aspects throughout the day, excellent for business transactions and dealing with financial matters.

Tuesday: The Sun is square to restraining Saturn today—best to drive with one foot on the brake and play within your limits. The Moon is in emotionally intense Scorpio moving into a supportive Grand Trine with Jupiter and Saturn this evening, fortifying emotional strength and clarity.

Wednesday: The Moon is in Scorpio opposite Uranus and trine to Neptune in the early morning, creating a sense of uncertainty. This quickly passes as the Moon then moves into jovial Sagittarius as the day gets going, lifting spirits with its optimistic outlook. The Moon will be in a favorable sextile to transformative Pluto, enhancing self-confidence.

Thursday: An upbeat day with the Moon in happy-go-lucky Sagittarius with no aspects throughout the day. Venus is trine to Chiron, offering healing energy for relationships. Venus is also in a quincunx to Jupiter, creating a yearning for pleasure—don’t look for it, experience it by lingering in delightful moments.

Friday: A potent day in the heavens with 3I-Atlas being closest to the Earth and a New Moon in adventurous Sagittarius conjunct magnetic Venus. Stay open to receiving messages from this cosmic visitor, and trust what you attract to you today. The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs at 5:43 PM PST—plant the seeds you wish to see develop in your life. This New Moon will be in a testing square to the Saturn/Neptune—testing your ability to navigate fear and faith; hold strong to your vision. The energy stabilizes tonight as the Moon moves into down-to-earth Capricorn.

Saturday: The Moon in task-oriented Capricorn conjunct empowering Mars, is excellent for taking on a big project or intense physical activity. The Sun is square to otherworldly Neptune and Venus is square to restrictive Saturn. It would be best to tether your imagination to avoid the disillusionment this combination can bring if you act on fantasies. Invite spirit into your life rather than escape your life to get to spirit.

Sunday: The Winter Solstice occurs this morning as the Sun moves into Capricorn at 7:03 AM PST. An excellent day to take some time to set your intentions for the winter season. The Moon is in highly aspirational Capricorn opposite expansive Jupiter and sextile to boundary enforcing Saturn tonight—dream big within what is realistically possible.

May the stars be with you!
