This is a quiet, albeit potent time.
As the year 2020 comes to a close, we’re placidly heading into a portal of powerful initiation, marked by the end of Eclipse season and the beginning of a new astrological, personal, collective era.
Later tonight, the Moon enters the discreet, pristine sign of Virgo, encouraging a more methodical approach to our daily routines and rituals. Tomorrow, Monday, December 7, the Moon in Virgo trines Uranus while clashing against the disseminating fire of the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius. Mutable energy wants to flow in multiple directions; the risk is that we could spread ourselves too thin and dissipate our focus. Everything flows more harmoniously when we focus on the right details — those that can take us where we want to be.
On Tuesday, December 8, the Moon in Virgo squares the Nodes, forming a flowing trine to Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn shortly after. A crossroads moment that helps us sorting out what needs to come with us into the next two decades of our life, and what needs to be left behind.
On Wednesday, December 9, the Moon enters Libra, opposing Wounded Healer / Healing Portal Chiron in Aries. This tense confrontation between desire for self-affirmation and emotional preoccupation with achieving equality can be mitigated through perspective, compassion and radical honesty.
Thursday, December 10, seems like a slightly more eventful day: the Sun in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces and trines Mars in Aries, the Moon in Libra squares the Capricorn planets, and Venus in Scorpio forms a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. The energies are a mix of turbid, sensitive and confrontational — a day to be particularly mindful of our own motives, impulses and agenda.
On Friday, December 11, the Moon enters Scorpio, inviting us to think and act strategically in the pursuit of what nourishes us; the next day, Saturday, December 12, Luna conjoins Venus, setting the tone for the weekend and helping us to find agreeable outlets for our emotional vulnerability.
For the upcoming week, I picked the Two of Wands, from the Wild Unknown Tarot.
