Healing Compassion — Forecast for Dec. 3rd – 9th<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"This week’s headline items: <\/strong>the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday afternoon; the Neptune Station phase ends on Tuesday; Chiron’s Station phase intensifies on Wednesday; Mercury comes to a halt on Thursday afternoon, ending its 3-week Retrograde phase; the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Thursday night\/Friday very early morning; and Chiron comes to a halt on Sunday early morning, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase.<\/p>\n

There will be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 1.5 hours), Wednesday late afternoon (for almost 5 hours), and Saturday early morning (for 2 hours).<\/p>\n

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: <\/strong>

 <\/p>\n

Now, this week\u2019s Forecast:<\/h3>\n

Monday (Dec. 3rd):<\/strong> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> until 2:55pm EST. <\/strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/p>\n

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/p>\n

We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<\/p>\n

Monday at 1:16pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC<\/a>), that last for a little over 1.5 hours, until 2:55pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection and collaboration with my desire for freedom and individual self-expression?<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC,<\/a> 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 afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Monday at 2:55pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong>,<\/em> where it will journey until Wednesday late evening.<\/strong> We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n

The Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s thus an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\u2028Moon in\u00a0Scorpio\u00a0tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can\u00a0be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so\u00a0best as you are able, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s\u00a0ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n

Also on\u00a0Monday afternoon<\/strong>, the Balsamic Moon phase beings when the Moon reaches 0\u00ba of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>. This phase lasts until late Friday very early morning<\/strong> when the New Moon in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0becomes exact (more on that on Friday\u2026 In the meantime,\u00a0feel free to watch my video on the subject<\/a>). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing\/intuition.<\/p>\n

For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.<\/p>\n

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<\/p>\n

Tuesday (Dec 4th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in…<\/em><\/p>\n

…<\/b> passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0all day<\/strong> (see Monday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Monday night\/Tuesday very early morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 12:53am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (Nov. 29th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (Dec. 13th).<\/strong>This aspect is a wonderful possibility for deep emotional healing in regards to our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures.<\/p>\n

We can bring compassion, for ourselves and others, to emotionally “difficult” communications. We are able to allow more for a flow of feelings as we share ourselves; forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves and others comes more easily now in general.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of\u00a0Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer<\/strong> or 0-1 degree of Sagittarius,\u00a0Aries<\/strong>,\u00a0or\u00a0Leo<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday early morning,<\/strong> we have an\u00a0opportunity to form long-term commitments with others, to be more practical, and to appreciate maturity in our intimate relationships, and financial partnerships.<\/p>\n

Tuesday late morning\/early afternoon: <\/strong>it’s easier now for us to connect with others (and ourselves) with gentleness and compassion. Taking action on deeply transformative and spiritual endeavors is favored right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday mid-late afternoon<\/b>, we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving, trusting the process and going with the flow are key!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on Tuesday<\/strong>, Neptune resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station (in 13.5 degrees of Pisces)<\/strong><\/em>. What has\u00a0come up in the last four weeks around resting, trusting and allowing? How closely are you in touch with your intuition? Now is a good time to bring some of these realizations you’ve had to the outer world, implementing some of it in your daily life, and moving forward with something that requires inspired trust, intuitive guidance, and allowing for the flow.<\/p>\n

Wednesday (Dec. 5th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in\u00a0passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0until 9:49pm EST<\/strong> (see Monday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Wednesday at 4:53pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that last for almost 5 hours, until 9:49pm EST.\u00a0<\/strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with others (and with yourself) on an authentic, deep emotional level. Could you permit yourself to trust others and communicate your needs?\u00a0What if it was safe to let others know what you feel (even if what you feel is dark or scary)?<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, 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 Wednesday late afternoon until the late evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Wednesday early evening<\/strong>, a challenging Sun\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:22pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening (Dec. 2nd) on, it will remain strong until this week, Saturday evening (Dec. 8th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect asks\u00a0us to stretch and grow:\u00a0On the one hand we want to use our mind to feel confident and expansive, on the other hand, we are compelled to listen to our intuition and let our imagination go wild.<\/p>\n

As you can probably guess, we’ll experience more “flow” in areas that favor intuition and imagination, such as creativity or spirituality. If possible, hold off on plans for more “practical” things.<\/p>\n

We might feel confused; but we are being asked to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe \u2014 whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).<\/p>\n

Seeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to shift from our conditioning to feeling<\/em> into the truth of who we are?<\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius, Pisces,\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo, Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday at 9:49pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon move into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday morning.<\/strong> New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. The Sagittarius Moon persuades us to come from intuition and think in a broader manner.<\/p>\n

We seek meaning and ideas that expand upon the “here and now”; we pursue truth and a new vision — the big picture, rather than the details. Spontaneity is key, we’d rather improvise than plan; this may tip into just “winging it”. We could also overdo or overstate. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the New Moon (exact Friday very early morning – Dec. 7th).\u00a0Feel free to watch my New Moon video<\/a>, if you haven’t seen it yet.<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday<\/strong>, the\u00a0Chiron Station intensifies<\/em> in almost 28 degrees of Pisces<\/strong><\/em>, as Chiron comes to a halt on Sunday (Dec. 9th); we will feel effects of the station\u00a0until Dec. 14th<\/strong>. As mentioned in last week’s forecast already, Chiron’s energies are more exalted during this period.<\/p>\n

Chiron is the wounded healer; currently in 28\u00ba of Pisces<\/strong>, our attention is guided towards our emotional and spiritual wounds. Chiron represents our inner insecurities, those self-conscious and wounded places. Chiron also represents the inner wound of abandonment and our need to “make it on our own”.<\/p>\n

We are invited to approach these wounds on a holistic level, to heal them such that others are healed thereby. This is accomplished very simply and naturally when we work with the true beauty and strength of this energy: Compassion. Having compassion for our own wounds heals them and allows healing compassion for the wounds we now see in others.<\/p>\n

What emotional or spiritual sore spots could you acknowledge? What needs to heal? At a different level, this time might also see an increased emphasis on water as a global and environmental issue.<\/p>\n

Those of us with personal planets and points (ASC. or MC) <\/i>in the following:<\/i> 26-29 degrees of <\/i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> <\/i><\/b>0 degrees of<\/i> Aries, Libra, Cancer <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Capricorn<\/i><\/b> will feel this station more strongly.<\/i><\/p>\n

Thursday (Dec. 6th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/em> all day (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n

Thursday at 4:22pm EST,<\/strong>\u00a0Mercury comes to a halt in 27 degrees of\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0and\u00a0slowly starts its direct motion,\u00a0after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase\u2026more on that later.<\/p>\n

We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3\u00a0weeks?\u00a0How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to\u00a0 or ?<\/p>\n

When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by\u00a0Dec. 10th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.<\/p>\n

Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in the following: 25-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, <\/strong>or Aquarius <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As you may recall, I mentioned\u00a0Mercury shadow phases<\/em>\u00a0in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular\u00a0shadow phase ends on\u00a0Dec. 24th <\/strong>(at 13.5 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong>).\u00a0Click here to read my blog on the subject<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday late evening,<\/b> <\/i>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and <\/i>your need to go within. <\/span><\/p>\n

You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday (Dec. 7th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n

Thursday night\/Friday very early morning at 2:20am EST<\/strong>, the\u00a0New Moon in 15 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0becomes exact.\u00a0With the\u00a0New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>,\u00a0we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth.\u00a0Also feel free to watch my New Moon video\u00a0on the subject<\/a><\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding on life? Do I see the glass as half-full or half-empty? Do I shy away from new adventures or thrive on exploring new territory?<\/p>\n

The New Moon aligns with Jupiter in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>.<\/em>\u00a0We have a chance to create a world of adventure and personal growth. We feel optimistic — and that helps us attract positive circumstances.<\/p>\n

Anything that expands our perspective is of interest to us at this time; this could involve things like travel, higher education, foreign cultures, or the search for a higher “meaning of life” and our existence on this planet…\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Might stepping outside of my daily routines bring me to a place where I can see myself (or life) from a new perspective?<\/p>\n

Spiritual\u00a0or mental journeys\u00a0can definitely flourish at this time, as can\u00a0ventures into a greater truth; we may well feel more vital, confident, and optimistic when it comes to those journeys — but if we don’t channel this energy into something that elevates our mind and soul, we may become a little restless.<\/p>\n

With this much Sagittarius<\/strong> energy, we may also be prone to exaggeration or impatience… as best as you can, channel all that fiery energy into something worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Ask\u00a0yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What can I do with all the energy coming through? How might I use it to my advantage? Could I go beyond what I’ve known myself to be?<\/p>\n

Be open to shifting your perceptions. You might ask:<\/strong> What are my attitudes towards life? When do I insist on “being right”? How do I usually feel afterwards?<\/p>\n

Here it’s wise to distinguish between three truths:\u00a0my truth, your truth, and “the truth” — what we need to watch out for is when “my truth” morphs into “the truth”.<\/p>\n

Seeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. Which brings me to the next aspect in the New Moon chart:\u00a0The Sun and Moon in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0also\u00a0squares the Neptune-Mars alignment in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What might be possible if I allowed myself to shift from my conditioning to\u00a0feeling\u00a0into\u00a0the truth of who I am?<\/p>\n

This aspect asks\u00a0us to stretch and grow:\u00a0On the one hand,\u00a0Sagittarius\u00a0points us toward exploring via our mind to experience \u00a0confidence and a sense of expansion, on the other hand, Pisces draws us to connect with our intuition and let our imagination go wild.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0Where am I being challenged to “be with what is”? What does “spiritual expansion” mean to me?<\/p>\n

The challenge with this particular Square is fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, outer engagement with life vs. inner engagement with intuitive Self; it’s also about burning lots of energy as we explore life vs. a need for rest and inner peace, achieved through acceptance and communion with our inner divinity.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself<\/strong>: What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down and get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?<\/p>\n

As you can probably guess, we’ll experience more “flow” in areas that favor intuition and imagination, such as creativity or spirituality. If possible, hold off on plans for more “practical” matters..<\/p>\n

Explore<\/strong>\u00a0your\u00a0conditioning and programming: What messages did I receive from my parents around\u00a0my intuitive gifts or creative aspirations? How about from teachers? Religion? The culture(s) I grew up in? How does my actual experience differ from those messages? Where am I ready to expand beyond old programming? Which one of my “filters” could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?<\/p>\n

We have two planets that are exalted at the time of the New Moon:\u00a0Mercury (the communicator or messenger) in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0and Chiron (the wounded Healer) in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0are both Stationing<\/em>.\u00a0Mercury ended its 3-week retrograde phase a day before the New Moon becomes exact, and Chiron follows suit two days after the New Moon becomes exact.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0Where am I ready to move forward with my Healing Journey? How could an emotionally authentic approach to others support\u00a0\u00a0the next phase of my life? What am I ready to talk about that has been in the back of my mind for the last several days? What inner or outer conversations are ready for completion as a next step towards expansion and a greater understanding of life?<\/p>\n

Not only are Mercury and Chiron <\/em>exalted, they are also trining each other<\/em>: This aspect is a wonderful possibility for deep emotional healing around our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures.<\/p>\n

We can bring compassion for ourselves and others to emotionally “difficult” communications. We are able to allow more for the flow of feelings as we share ourselves; forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves and others comes more easily now in general.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What might be possible on my healing journey if I listened to the wisdom of my heart and soul? If I accepted my own humanity and my sensitivities? If I communicated all of this within my intimate relationships? What role would trust play?<\/p>\n

Uranus in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0squares the Moon Nodes in\u00a0<\/em>Capricorn\/Cancer<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our personal and individual goals.<\/p>\n

We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on self-care and emotional connection with others (via the North Node in Cancer<\/strong>); on the other hand, Uranus in Aries<\/strong> asks us to individuate and learn about our personal passions and drives \u2014 and to have a breakthrough when it comes to walking our own path. We may also feel a\u00a0desire to break free and rebel against obligations (this from the square to the South Node in Capricorn<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0How unique do I let myself be? Where do I stop myself from passionately stepping into my unique self? Could I give myself permission to “let my freak flag fly?” What if I lived without apologies just for today?<\/p>\n

If this New Moon had a core message, it would be:\u00a0\u00a0As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding — embrace your inner divinity in all its infinite wonder and capacity to simply know.\u00a0Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0If there was a reason for me to be here, what might that reason be? Where am I headed? What do I believe — and what do I simply \u201cknow\u201d? Where do I need to take a leap of faith… or simply trust?<\/p>\n

As best as you can, question your assumptions.\u00a0Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About myself? About life itself? What does my direct experience show me? How could “Beginner’s Mind” support a different perspective? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy — and\u00a0vice versa?<\/p>\n

Keep looking at what needs to heal, what needs to be communicated, and keep looking for the completion of “deeper” issues in your life.\u00a0Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video\u00a0on the subject<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees of<\/i> Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces<\/i><\/b>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in<\/i> Leo<\/i><\/b> or<\/i> Cancer<\/i><\/b> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course<\/a> phase.\u00a0So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 2:20am EST Friday very early morning (Dec. 7th) until 5am EST Saturday morning (Dec. 8th); <\/strong>and then again from 7:01am EST on Saturday (Dec. 8th) until 2:20am EST Sunday very early morning (Dec. 9th).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note, however, that there is a Moon void of course\u00a0on Saturday early morning — it runs from 5:00am EST until 7:01am EST<\/strong>.\u00a0Don\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0set your intentions during those 2 hours \u2014 instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

Friday late morning,<\/strong> a Mars\/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of Pisces<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 9:11am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Sunday evening (Dec. 2nd) on; it will be strong\u00a0until next week, Tuesday evening (Dec. 11th).<\/strong> This might contribute to feeling either a lack of physical energy, or a need to connect to spiritual or creative endeavors.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, be patient with your energy levels for this week; go with the flow whenever you can, and, just for now, see what is would feel like to let go of wanting to be “the first and the best”.<\/p>\n

This is definitely a highly imaginative time. The highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; the lower level vibration is about not seeing reality clearly (or wanting to avoid it altogether) — because it may be to painful to accept as it is. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy. Check in with others (or Source) when creating new goals for yourself during this transit: get reality checks!<\/p>\n

Remember: the more we fight against any energy pattern, the more we will experience its lowest vibration. As best as you can, let go and let flow \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of\u00a0Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces\u00a0(<\/strong>Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday (Dec. 8th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, until 7:01am EST<\/strong> (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n

Saturday at 5:00am EST<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that last for 2 hours, until 7:01am EST.\u00a0<\/strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self \u2014 explore, take a risk.<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, 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 early morning until the morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Saturday at 7:01am EST,<\/strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong>,<\/em> where it will journey until next week, Monday evening<\/strong> (Dec. 10th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<\/p>\n

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.<\/p>\n

As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Saturn is the ruler of\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.<\/p>\n

For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon,<\/strong> we have the opportunity to make meaningful connections that could support our long-term goals.<\/p>\n

Sunday (Dec. 9th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday morning for details).<\/p>\n

Sunday\u00a0early morning, at 3:52am EST,<\/strong> after a 5-month retrograde, Chiron comes to a halt (in order to turn direct) in almost 28 degrees of Pisces<\/strong>.<\/em> Chiron is the wounded healer; in Pisces<\/strong>, it brings our attention towards our emotional and spiritual wounds. As best as you can, watch out for any triggers that are connected to your past. (see Wednesday’s entry — about Chiron’s station intensifying — for more)<\/p>\n

Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: Do you have your Ascendent, your Career point or any of your personal planets in the following: 26-29 degrees of <\/i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini,<\/i><\/b> <\/i>Sagittarius,<\/i><\/b> or 0 degrees of <\/i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Capricorn<\/i><\/b>? If you do, you may need to take your emotional or spiritual wounds under the magnifying glass. Take a closer look at how you can bring compassion and understanding to those wounds\/insecurities.<\/i><\/p>\n

Sunday late morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday Nov. 30th on, it will remain strong until next week, Thursday Dec 13th<\/strong>.\u00a0Due to Mercury’s Retrograde phase, this is the second time this aspect has become exact this week.\u00a0\u200bAgain, this\u00a0aspect is a wonderful possibility for deep emotional healing in regards to our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures. For more, see Tuesday’s entry)<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of\u00a0Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer<\/strong> or 0-1 degree of Sagittarius,\u00a0Aries<\/strong>,\u00a0or\u00a0Leo<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday late morning\/early afternoon<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach. As best as you can, take actions that feel in alignment with your heart, and your intuitive sensing.<\/p>\n

Sunday late evening,<\/strong> our focus intensifies — we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

A heads up for next Monday (Dec. 10th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0until 6:39pm EST<\/strong> (see Saturday morning- Dec. 8th for details). At 4:27pm EST<\/strong>,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that last for a little over 2 hours,\u00a0until 6:39pm EST<\/strong>;\u00a0as 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\u00a0plan Monday late afternoon\/early evening\u00a0ahead of time.\u00a0At 6:39pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking\u00a0Aquarius,<\/strong><\/em> where it will journey until Thursday morning (Dec. 13th)<\/strong>. Also on Monday<\/strong>, the<\/span> Mercury Station ends (28.5\u00ba of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>). More about the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
