Dec. 28th – January 3rd

Breaking Away from Traditional Values

 

This week’s headline items: Chiron’s Station phase ends on Monday; the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Uranus starts to slow down (station) on Wednesday; and Venus moves over the degree of Dec. 14th’s Solar Eclipse on Saturday late evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over 5 hours), and Saturday late afternoon (for a little over 3 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to…

Wish everyone a beautiful transition into the New Year! May we all be able to let go of what has burdened us in 2020, and move with vigor, lightness, and joy into 2021.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, Dec. 28th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early morning. Today, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Monday at 10:01pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 7.5 hours, until 5:28am EST (Tuesday early morning). If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to move things forward for yourself, especially anything connected to personal goals or projects.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening until Tuesday early morning ahead of time.

Also, Monday, Chiron ends its Station phase (at 5º of Aries) and gets back to its normal pace through the sky — We have a chance to implement everything we learned during the Retrograde phase and move forward with healing any physical, sexual, or “identity” wounds, or insecurities and sensitivities that came up around the masculine energies.

Tuesday, Dec. 29th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 5:28am EST; at that time, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Thursday early afternoon. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact late this evening).

Tuesday late evening, at 10:28pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun (in almost 9 degrees of Cancer). Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Members Full Moon video.

This Full Moon shows us how far we have come since the last Solar Eclipse in Cancer (which was exact on June 21st, 2020) when it comes to self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also how far we have come since November 2018, when the North Node moved into Cancer, and we started our journey towards greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.

Ask yourself: What have I learned about self-care and where I feel most “at home” over the past two years? What have I learned about my emotional needs? How has an emotional connection to myself and loved ones been of benefit to me? How has it shifted my priorities?

Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart — Mercury, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Neptune — and all play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment…

But first, let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon: The Moon in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer opposes the Sun in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn.

We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our feelings and emotional needs (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn).

It’s important to realize that we all have limitations and challenges in life — and when we approach those in a nurturing way, taking care of our feeling body and inner baby, and allowing ourselves to receive support from family or “familiar” connections”, we are more likely to overcome those challenges and be realistic about limitations — our own, and other people’s.

Ask yourself: How am I…  To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s Full Moon, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

 

Wednesday, Dec. 30th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Tuesday early morning for details).

Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning, Uranus starts to slow down (station). It will come to a halt in almost 7º of Taurus (on Jan. 14th — ending its 5-month Retrograde phase). Uranus will move more slowly for four weeks, between now and Jan. 27th, anything connected to its energy will come into our awareness quite strongly: We have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us.

Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional values, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.

Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don’t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to those messages from the Universe 😉

As best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is “in your face” for the next 4 weeks. Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.

What might this be for you? Where do you feel the desire to break free? If “Freedom” were an important value for you, how might it show up in your life? Where have you denied yourself permission to be free? Unique? Simply yourself?

With this much erratic energy moving through us, we are best off honoring this movement, and “shaking it out”. Rather than expecting everyone’s values to be the same, it will serve us now to focus on aligning our own unique visions and desires with certain partnerships, creating deeper, more trusting connections wherever we can.

This also provides an opportunity to look at how free we truly feel within our financial partnerships and intimate relationships. Are you expressing your individuality to the fullest in those partnerships? Are you connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding you back? What did you discover about your unique visions, values, and financial freedoms these past 5 months?

Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in Aquarius? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius or Leo? If so, you are more affected by this station.

Wednesday early morning, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:19am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Sunday (Dec. 27th) on, it will be strong until this Friday evening. We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money — so it’s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas — if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.

We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love — if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days — it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).

Wednesday late afternoon, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.

Wednesday early evening, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect with others and have an adventure — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.

 

Thursday, Dec. 30th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 1:58pm EST (see Tuesday early morning for details).

Thursday at 8:45am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 5 hours, until 1:58pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for personal projects that you feel passionate about and for emotional or family issues…

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.

Thursday at 1:58pm EST, the Moon moves into fun-loving and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Saturday evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

 

Friday, January 1st:

Friday, the Moon remains in fun-loving and attention-loving Leo all day (see Thursday early afternoon for details).

Friday very early morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with our inner child-energy (creative self-expressions and joy), on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.

As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.

Friday morning, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:18am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday afternoon on; it will remain strong until Sunday morning. This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.

Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

Friday early afternoon, we are still invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?

 

Saturday, Jan. 2nd:

Saturday, the Moon remains in fun-loving and attention-loving Leo until 8:13pm EST (see Thursday early afternoon for details).

Saturday at 5:00pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 3 hours, until 8:13pm EST. Use this intuitive time to get excited about an adventure — you have an opportunity to step into an exciting project from a creative, self-expressed place.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon until the evening ahead of time.

Saturday 8:13pm EST, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until next week Tuesday very early morning (Jan. 5th); turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Saturday late evening, around 11:11pm EST, Venus reaches 23 degrees and 08 minutes of Sagittarius, she aligns with the degree of Dec. 14th’s Solar Eclipse.

This might trigger some relationship or self-worth issues connected to outdated belief systems, or attitudes and perspectives towards life; these will need to be addressed over the next 5.5 months.

The key here is to heighten awareness of two things: First, how can we be open to more heartfelt interactions around our Soul’s journey and whatever is next for us?

Second: how else might we tap more into our heart energy to feel more uplifted and free? What messages are we receiving today that might deliver a better understanding of this process? What needs to be released or redefined?

 

Sunday, Jan. 3rd:

Sunday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Saturday evening for details).

Sunday early morning, calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness/anger, leadership, taking actions) — and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines.

Sunday morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable.

Sunday evening, this could be a great time to clarify what’s important to us. Ask yourself: What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? What might show me how to easily implement my business goals?

And…

A heads up for next Monday (Jan. 4th): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Saturday evening for details— Jan. 2nd). At 4:34pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 8 hours, until 12:42am EST (Tuesday very early morning- Jan. 5th). In the evening, a Mercury/Pluto alignment in 24 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 7:58pm EST; we started to feel this aspect from Jan. 2nd on; it will remain strong until Jan. 6th. Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, at 12:42am EST, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Thursday early morning (Jan. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
