The last month of the year.  Wow, what happened to 2023?

This December most of the action will be taking place in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces and Taurus.  Mercury will be in retrograde during the second half of the month between Capricorn and Sagittarius. Jupiter is standing still in the sky and its energy is potent for the rest of the month, which brings our attention to resources, money, gifts, growth and stability.  Any planets or points between 6 - 8 degrees of the fixed signs ( Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will receive the most out of Jupiter during December.  Venus is making its last quarter square to Pluto on December 3rd. This could be the moment that what you have been trying to avoid, catches up to you.  The Sagittarius New Moon on December 11th will be a great moon for planting new seeds and intentions as long as we aren't biting off more than we can chew.  The Sun makes its final quarter square to Neptune just days after it turns direct.  Neptune is very powerful in Pisces, which is all about dissolving what no longer serves us and then putting us back together into new form.  Neptune is transiting the last 5 degrees of Pisces and because it is the ruler of Pisces, many of us will see what has been removed from our lives and perhaps some clarity about what lies ahead. December 22nd Mercury and Sun make a conjunction at the 1st degree of Capricorn before retrograding back into Sagittarius.  This is going to be an interesting energy.  Mercury in Capricorn is cool, calm and collected.  Mercury in Sagittarius is anxious, overwhelmed and has too many irons in the fire.  While we may feel like we are receiving more clarity about a specific part of our lives, our nervous energy could make us question any new information we have.  Capricorn season begins December 21st.  As the Sun moves into a sextile with Saturn this will help us stay on our path in spite of the confusion that Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius will be throwing our way. While this may give us a foothold into conventional thinking, any illusions or delusions we have been entertaining will come to an abrupt end during the Mercury/ Mars conjunction on the 27th.  So the month of December will be heavy on communications, interactions, travel and the media along with all the problems that come with them.  Pay attention, read and reread anything before signing.  Prepare for any delays or obstacles that could pop up concerning these themes.  Stay with the energy of Jupiter to bring more compassion, pleasant surprises and abundance into life.
