December 5-11
Right away this week we’re feeling determined and capable! We recently set our new moon intentions during the solar eclipse over the weekend. And now we’re powering forward and happily destroying paradigms, mindsets, and structures that don’t align with our new intentions.
Use this energy to take meaningful action towards your goals this month. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. But do challenge yourself to go the extra mile. Determination is running high and by embracing it, you’re already moving forward.
Midweek we’re likely to feel a little snappy. We might feel like we’re not making enough progress (even though we are). Or that our progress has come to a screeching halt. There’s a bit of tug-of-war going on between our hearts and our heads.
This energy is going to shine a bright, harsh light on what we actually should be focusing on right now. We’re tempted to dream the day away, but our dreams are moving so quickly because we’re so passionate and excited about so many different things.
Use this energy to regroup and recenter your focus. There is time for all your dreams and passions to manifest–just not simultaneously. Think through the practicality of all your dreams and ideas, then consult your intuition. Combine this guidance for clarity on your direction.
We’re ending the week with some transformative and romantic energy. This is a chance to examine the bigger picture of our relationships to see what we can redefine. Especially if this is a long term relationship. We’re likely in a new season of life since it started, and it’s time for our relationship to grow accordingly. This is likely going to happen very naturally and easily.
First Quarter Moon in Pisces
The intentions we set at the last new moon solar eclipse are really ramping up! We spent all week being fired up about it, and now it’s time to mellow out and infuse more creativity into our action plan.
How can we be more innovative in our dream/goal chasing? How are our actions contributing to our higher purpose? How do my goals, dreams, and actions feel in my body? What does my intuition have to say about my current path?
If something doesn’t seem to be working, find a new solution. If something doesn’t feel good, replace it with something that does feel good. You are the creator! And the creation energies are still very strong as the moon is growing bigger in the sky each night.
December 12-18
It’s time for a reality check on our dreams. Not in the “give up and be realistic” sense. More like “let’s think practically about achieving our dreams” sense. How serious are you about your dreams? And what is your motivation for going after them? Are they your dreams, or are they the dreams of someone else? Are they dreams you were told are yours? Or do you actually feel them in your own heart?
We wouldn’t be given a dream if we weren’t also given the ability to achieve it. If something isn’t turning out, or things seem way too difficult, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate. There is something hiding behind the hustle and grind that will give you more insight into why this “dream of yours” isn’t panning out.
Are you ready for the fire?! Mars in Sagittarius is all about going as far as possible, as quickly as possible. This is unstoppable energy and it’s going to be awesome! As Mars moves through Sagittarius, we’re going to feel sudden bursts of energy on a near daily basis. Our eyes are on the prize now, and we are quickly rushing up to the finish line.
Use this incredible energy to get things done and make huge strides towards your wildest goals. Sagittarius loves diving deep, and Mars loves being driven. This combination of energy will send us flying into the new year. Nothing can stop us now–no drama, no BS, no roadblocks are standing in our way.
Full Moon in Gemini
The Full Moon in Gemini is guiding us to reflect on the amount of balance we experience in our relationships, and in the relationship with ourselves. How is the balance of give/take in all our most important relationships? Are we being truly honest with ourselves about how much we give/receive?
Communication is very important now. If you’re giving too much, ask to receive more. If you’re taking too much, make the effort to give more. And communicate with yourself, too. Are you putting everyone else before yourself? Gemini craves balance, so release whatever blocks you from sustaining balance in your relationships.
There’s also a sense of adventure happening during this Full Moon! All the Sagittarius energy is building up. Release some of that pent up urge to wander by actually going out and wandering around. You can plan a full blown trip if you are able, otherwise take a trip around your hometown and visit some place you’ve never been within it.
December 19-25
Beware of hyper-tension around your goals this weekend! There’s a lot of fiery energy mixed with driven Capricorn energy right now. We want so desperately to move forward but we’re feeling stuck and confused. We’re feeling this urge to bust out and rebel against everything, in the hopes of finally gaining momentum. But is this really the best course of action?
Use this tense energy to slow down and hone your focus on one specific aspect of your goal or project. This is a good time to make plans, do “brain dumps,” and strategize your next move. This will help ease some of the tension and you’ll realize that there are other ways to move the needle.
Think back two weekends ago when Venus conjunct Pluto. What themes came up in your relationships? What strides were made? How did things change or uplevel? Because now that Venus is in retrograde, we are reliving that day (for better or worse). We’re being guided see what happened through the eyes of the other person, in case we missed anything or were left clues on what to do next.
Chiron Direct in Taurus
Chiron is an asteroid known as the Wounded Healer. It’s important to keep track of in astrology because it helps us heal so we can better contribute to the healing of others. It has been in retrograde for quite some time, allowing us the chance to reflect on our deepest wounds and explore their origins.
Now that we have a better idea of where our wounds came from and how they’ve affected our lives, it’s time to own up to them. We aren’t victims, nor are we completely void of responsibility. In fact, we are empowered to choose how we handle our emotional wounds and how they play out in our personality.
But, there’s no rush. We all deal and heal in our own time. Be careful not to ignore the wounds, either. The speed at which the wound heals isn’t important, as long as we’re working on healing it with intention.
Part of the healing process is existing in the pain for awhile. We can’t completely bypass all the pain and expect to be “over it.” Lovingly allow yourself to sit with that pain, and lovingly pull yourself out when it’s time to begin healing. You can do this by journaling, crying, talking it out, or resting.
Venus Retrograde in Capricorn
Remember how we recently upgraded our relationships when Venus conjuct with Pluto? Well, keep those themes and lessons in mind as Venus is going retrograde in Capricorn for the next month or so.
It’s time to take a step back and rethink our romantic expectations. What we expect from our relationships could put a big damper on how our relationship actually is. This isn’t to be confused with our emotional needs being met in our relationships, or our path as a couple. Rather, we’re reconsidering if we’re trying to make our relationships something they’re not.
This could be quite liberating. Allow your love to be just as it is. If you’re not trying to force something to be what it isn’t, you have so much more bandwidth to bask in the beauty of what it actually is. This can also be liberating in the sense of finally letting something go that isn’t serving your needs or highest good.
Sun in Capricorn
Capricorn season is upon us! Have you ever wondered why January feels like such a great time to take action on goals and projects? Capricorn fuels this desire within us to move forward and banish all the BS.
While the Sun is traveling through this Earth sign, we’re going to be overly fond of structure, plans, and our goals. I know we talk a lot about goal achieving, but there does come a time where it’s counterproductive. Capricorn is risk of becoming a workaholic who is overly obsessed with reaching their desired outcome. But even once they get there, they keep going.
This is a good trait to have! Nothing is unachievable with Capricorn. But be wary of burnout and use delegation wisely. And while responsibility is easy to handle right now, don’t forget to have fun! Capricorn loves to infuse their work with joy and laughter.
December 26-31
This week is perfect for writing poetry, or painting, or playing music, or anything that is creative self expression. Be careful not to be a perfectionist about it–simply get your feelings out in a beautiful way.
As far as relationships, we’re being lovingly guided to consider what exactly we love about the people we love. Once we pin that down, we can tell them in a sweet way that will make their hearts swell up.
We might also consider revamping our entire communication style, especially in relationships. We might want to try a new form of self expression, perhaps an art medium we’ve never tried before. We might want to be bold and straightforward in expressing our feelings to others when we haven’t before. These could be very beneficial right now as Mercury is quite active this week.
Last Quarter Moon in Libra
After a challenging weekend, the Libra Last Quarter Moon will bring much needed balance and harmony. What was causing so much tension just a few days ago seems much more manageable now. The energy is winding down, the tension is dissipating, and we are much more level-headed.
Use this energy to get some of the easy stuff done. Get all those “quick wins” under your belt so you can more easily determine which path is best to take.
Take some time to express gratitude for all the tools you have already to achieve your dreams: funding, support, knowledge, anything contributing to your success. The Divine timing of everything has brought you exactly where you need to be right now in order to grow.
Jupiter in Pisces
Our dreams just got dreamier! Jupiter in Pisces is expanding our dreamiest dreams into even dreamier territories. There’s likely to be an overlap between our spiritual growth and our dreams of the future.
Don’t undervalue the power of compassion, especially towards others. Kindness and love takes us so much further with other people than force or intimidation ever will. Give back to the world and your community what you want to receive.
Jupiter is the planet of joy and abundance. Pisces loves this energy because it’s a chance to expand its already mystical perspectives of the Universe. Our spiritual awareness is likely to grow and grow and grow. Stay grounded while this is happening, and you’ll experience some profound soul upgrades!
