This week is full of cosmic action, so start the week off with a positive intention and an open mind. On the 9th, Mercury will leave Scorpio (where its been since October 3rd) and enter Sagittarius until December 28th. For most (especially air and fire signs), this will come as a breath of fresh air. Scorpio is a very intense deep thinker, Sagittarius is light-hearted and optimistic. We could use a shift in energy. 

On the 9th, the Moon in Taurus will also oppose Mars in Scorpio, highlighting a tension between lovers.

On the 10th, the Sagittarius Sun will trine Chiron in Aries, encouraging us to trust in ourselves and personal power; we can manifest anything if we believe. The young Gemini Moon will also oppose Mercury in Sagittarius, emphasizing a contradiction between what we know and what we hope to believe. Be careful not to fall into a mental trap.

On the 11th, Venus will conjunct Saturn in Capricorn, emphasizing a new relationship to commitment and long-term ambition.

On the 12th, The Full Moon in Gemini will highlight our interests, friendships, and local connections. Many will find themselves reconnecting to old-friends and forgotten memories.

On the 13th, Chiron will station direct in Aries. Chiron’s direct station brings our inner work to light. Expect forward movement on a personal goal or mission.

On the 13th, Mars, still in Scorpio is trine Neptune in Pisces. This aspect highlights our ability and connection to the spiritual realms and higher dimensions. Venus will also conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, showcasing an impulse to invest in a long-term course of action.

On the 13th, the Moon in Cancer will oppose Jupiter in Capricorn and conjunct the North Node. For some, there may be a deep yearning to start a family or begin a side business from home. Be mindful that your goals may contradict one another. You may have to compromise or streamline your priorities to complete them all. 

On the 14th, the Moon in Cancer will oppose both Venus and Saturn in Capricorn. If something feels forced or invasive, don’t push it. The beauty of this transit is learning when to fold and when to force. This transit asks that we find the balance and beauty in both. Arguments and power struggles on the homefront make it hard to find peace, but it’s there. Don’t give up. 

On the 15th, Jupiter in Capricorn is trine Uranus retrograde in Taurus. Even though we feel an urge to get ahead, take it nice and easy. There will be several opportunities to get ahead next week. 

Aries: A work project may bring an unexpected raise or boost of income at the beginning of the week. With Chiron stationing direct on the 13th, take advantage of this new beginning, especially where your self-confidence and vision are concerned. If a mentor, boss, or elder gives you a piece of advice, listen. The Full Moon in Gemini connects you with someone in your local community who can help you solve an important problem or ascend to the next level. Tap in with your network. A major pay day is in store. 

Taurus: This is a very unusual week for you, Taurus. You will have very high moments and inexplicably low ones -- the key is not getting caught up in either. What friendships mean the most to you? Who do you confide in? What are your values? Honesty is the key to your redemption. If you’ve pushed someone away recently, this is your opportunity to make it right (or visa versa). Let your secrets finally rest and awaken in the light. You’re more romantic and affectionate than you want others to believe. 

Gemini: You could be feeling a strong call to stand in the light this week, Gemini, especially with the Full Moon shining its spotlight on you. But before you can get to the limelight, you have to make peace with the darkness. With Mercury in your opposite sign of Sagittarius, you could be feeling pulled in an uncomfortable direction. Don’t stress over what you can’t see or understand, instead focus on the big picture. By the end of the week, you should be feeling stronger and more in tune with the path you’ve chosen. Just don’t cover your eyes and pretend like you don’t know what’s best for you because you do.

Cancer: How is that new relationship going, Cancer? Your relationship with yourself and priorities are stronger than ever, and the long-term future has never felt more clear. But with the Gemini Full Moon highlighting your hibernation sector, you may feel like your past won’t let you live. But don’t let your mind play silly tricks on you. Your problems are not as bad as they seem. It may be helpful to take a break from external input and focus on your own needs and desires. The bottom line: What do YOU want?

Leo: Socially, this is an excellent week for you. The Gemini Full Moon highlights your community and friendship sector, bring you one step closer to your dream. If you’ve been hoping for a way to expand your network and net worth, this is an excellent time to share your private studies and interests. With Chiron stationing direct in Aries, you may be traveling soon or taking your spiritual evolution into your own hands. Take advantage of the Sagittarius Sun inspiring your sense of creativity and exploration. Let your inner child live. 

Virgo: Your career goals and interests are in the spotlight this week, Virgo. The connections you made in the past are finally catching up to you. Take advantage of the extra mental support. With Chiron highlighting your rebirth sector, you may be feeling alone or facing turbulence in your intimacy sector. If you and your partner battle over finances, shared decisions, or intimacy issues, be gentle but firm. The best way to move past this is honesty. Take your own needs into consideration but learn how to listen. Key: Avoid isolating yourself. You aren’t alone. 

Libra: The beginning of the week is a tough one, Libra. Relationship and finances will disturb your thoughts. With Uranus and the Moon in Taurus opposite Mars in Scorpio, the intensity and pressure you feel won’t subside overnight. Whatever is coming to the light needs too, so don’t disturb the process. Just learn how to go with it. The Full Moon in Gemini will highlight mental growth. Chances are the way you think has changed. Be on the lookout for new friends or acquaintances who have the exact skills you need. Key: Keep an open mind. You never know what’s right around the corner. 

Scorpio: This is a big money week for you, Scorpio. If you’ve been worried or sensitive about money, this week promises positive changes in this area. A huge portion of this success comes from your belief system and overall mindset. With the Full Moon in Gemini highlighting your joint finance and intimacy sector, you should be seeing a return on a joint partnership or collaboration (or receive an opportunity to contribute to one in the near future). Chiron now direct liberates your work and health sector, helping you to refocus on your own personal abilities and ambitions. Key: ease back into the grind, but don’t hold back. 

Sagittarius: Happy Birthday, Sagittarius. If you’ve been facing issues in your love or home life, you should start to feel a positive shift this week. With Venus aligning with both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, you should have a better sense of where things are going, even if it wasn’t what you had dreamed. With the Full Moon in Gemini highlighting your relationship sector, your mindset about love is changing. Use this energy to make peace with your shadows. You don’t have to be perfect to experience true love, you just need to be open and honest. 

Capricorn: Your identity is changing, Capricorn. How you see yourself, how others see you, how you think and relate, everything about you is evolving. For some, this could awaken serious anxiety, nervousness, and fear of the future. But once you get past the fear of uncertainty, you’ll experience the enthusiasm of the unknown. Stop looking at this period as a point of disruption or failure. Instead, use this as an opportunity to rebuild a life that you truly want, not one that you think you have to submit to.

Aquarius: Prepare for an intense week, Aquarius. If you feel a wave of limitation, self-doubt, or red-tape surrounding a project or relationship, respect it. The worst thing you can do right now is to push back against the shift that is here to help you. You are in the middle of a major clearing, allow the process to fulfill itself. On the bright side, the Full Moon in Gemini highlights a significant relationship or creative hobby. Your mantra for December should be “when all else fails, create.”  Expressing and transcending your emotions through movement, dance, writing, and the spoken word is just what your heart needs to heal. Key: Fall in love with the process. Give thanks for the space you are in. 

Pisces: Home and family take up much of your focus this week, Pisces. The Gemini Full Moon highlights a period of reconnection and familial celebration. You may be in a completely different space than you were last year. How can you celebrate and share this growth with those you love? You also will sense a shift in your career or direction of life. A feeling of purpose and commitment towards your long-term goals will grow. Don’t give it too much thought. Put the intention out there and let it be. Soon you will see how life always comes full circle.
