The quality of time in December speaks of positive feelings and a fundamental openness throughout the month. However, in the middle of the month, when Mercury turns direct on the Gemini Full Moon, excessive expectations could lead to disappointments and require a reality check. Invigorating tension characterizes the last third of the month. It could make this year’s Christmas a special occasion.
On December 1st, there is a New Moon in Sagittarius. Shortly after that, the Moon reaches the opposition to Jupiter in Gemini.
This is a week when artistic, innovative, eccentric ideas will clash with conventional, conformist, go by the book; go, by the established outlooks. This is not the time to make new pitches at work due to the thick, stuck energy.
On December 2nd, Mercury in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries and Venus in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. The time quality of these days speaks of positive feelings and a willingness to stand up for what is good without much fuss. You can now clarify relationships or establish new connections. The current openness to new ideas goes hand in hand with a realistic perception of the world and allows you to see the bigger picture.
On Wednesday, December 4th, Mercury reaches it’s opposition to Jupiter. Go with your established projects because starting anything new just won’t get off the ground. Also, The Sun squares Saturn. If you shift your focus to dating your soulmate, then romance is in store for you.
Saturn, two days later, forms a conjunction with Mercury. Now is the time to take a concrete step forward and make dreams come true. These days, many conversations and discussions may also be necessary, although the respective points of view could be noticeably subjective. Also, Friday could be emotionally dragged down by intellectually tedious conversations leading to arguments over individual ideas. Mars turns retrograde in the evening, slowing down activity, which won’t pick up again until Mars turns direct in late February, 2025.
In the following days, the quality of time will intensify significantly. On December 7th, the opposition between the Sun and Jupiter will be exact. Mercury is in exact square with Saturn. Venus leaves the somewhat sober Capricorn, enters experimental Aquarius, and immediately meets Pluto. Mars in Leo stands still and begins its retrograde phase, which lasts until February 24th, 2025. Until then, expect several delays and set backs.
Neptune, on the other hand, ends its retrograde on December 8th. It will continue to move through the last degrees of Pisces over the next few months and enter Aries for the first time in March 2025.
The weekend swings between hot and cold with your emotions. Some egos could be out of control so try to rein in feelings of boastfulness and invincibility.
Sunday we come back down to earth and into logic and reality. Be careful now, because cold logic could lead you to make some bad decisions because your natural intuitive flow could be cut off. There is a powerful energy present this week to conform. If you’re sticking out like a sore thumb, prepare to be stepped on and perhaps bruised.
During these days, desires, longings, and demands could be pretty powerful. The desire for a new experience, a new kick, or a profound change could sometimes feel a bit compulsive. Excessive expectations can lead to disappointment. Do an honest reality check and adjust your plans to those possibilities.
