Astrology December 2017
Merry Birthday Sagittarius & Happy Christmas to us all!
The Sun has burst forth from Scorpio & shines brighter in Sadge now. Though we do have a fair few Saturn Aspects going on, we’ll be able to look at the bigger picture, rather than get pulled down into our emotional depths, focusing on tiny detail. Think forests rather than trees now! Venus also moves into Sadge, right from the December get go. So if you are feeling a little overwhelmed & heavy, the key this month is to embody the Sagittarian Sun & Venus vibe. Stay as up beat & positive as you can, approach things in a light hearted manner. Think about future freedom & plan an adventure, Sadge always has one eye on the horizon. What makes you feel buoyant & care free? What’s FUN to do? What makes you HAPPY? Be a little more out going than usual & stay open to possibilities. Sagittarians are jovial, charismatic, happy-go-lucky & flirty people. They are infectious, inspiring, spontaneous & LOVE a good surprise. They are lovers not fighters, they’re thinkers & philosophers, they always relish a great company & a great debate!
Pulling yourself UP by your boot straps is important this month, especially through December 22nd to 27th. These are days where the above mentioned Sun & Venus will run into Saturn & may make us feel a little somber & overwhelmed. Think about what you HAVE got, not what’s lacking or missing! I’d say our Christmas break may be more about times gone by, a tad serious & perhaps melancholy. At the same time, the energy is good for family & tradition & for contemplating our roots & our long term relationship future goals. Long talked about, Saturn will go into Capricorn in this period, hence the tendency for hefty thoughts rather than dancing a jig on the festive table. I’d be putting together a more classic look for Christmas day do’s; dig out the pearls, elegance is what we’re aiming for. The Sun will be in Capricorn & the Moon in Pisces. Alcohol may be free flowing, be aware that its effect with this Moon can be, lets say… amplified. All in all, during December, we’ll be wrapping up a cycle that started back in December of 2014. But don’t keep looking back! Instead, set your sites on newness, find excitement for the coming fresh energy we’ll be catapulted into mid January. Doors may have closed but major new ones are being flung open!
As mentioned last month, Mercury will be Retrograde for much of December, mostly in the Sign of Sagittarius. I’m sure many of you are familiar with his usual trickster energy & things unexpectedly getting mixed up or going awry. So make sure you check you have your keys when you leave home, keep an eye on your phone & if your car starts making “funny noises”, go & get it seen to! Back up your data, double check all your appointment & meeting times, read fine print, etc, etc & stay grounded as best you can. Having said this, Mercury Retro IS good for all the things you can place a RE in front of! REconsider, REthink, REcollect, REaddress past projects & conversations, to gain better clarity & understanding which will help you move things forward, next month. Situations & people can pop up unexpectedly (I’m flagging December 11th to 17th especially!), which can be a good or bad thing depending. But regardless, try & see things in a different light, there may be some gold hidden there!
The Full Moon this Month happens in a couple of days, in Gemini at 02:46, on the 4th (@11″ degrees). Venus (love & money) & Mercury (thought & communication) are both involved here, in a lovely way =) Information with regard to these two may be incoming, news should be positive. As this Moon is a Gemini one, there’s likely to be a flurry of chatter. If that’s not coming at you from those around you, it could just be an over busy head & scattered thoughts. Keeping your feet on the ground however is also supported, so think of ways you can use news constructively. As is usual for a Full Moon, it could be hard to focus & to get to sleep. Try writing out your feelings & ideas. Try drinking Chamomile tea whilst you do so. That will go a long way toward getting things off your chest & calming your nervous system too.
The New Moon in Sadge is at 17:30, on the 18th (@26″ degrees), it’ s our time to set inspired intentions. Venus is highlighted, so fresh ways to approach our romantic lives are approaching. Ideas re new ways to redecorate our homes (& wardrobes!) are in flowing & new plans for our saving accounts & investments should serve us well. Aside from this, Mercury will allow us to see where we have come from & how we can use our experiences to build a stronger, more informed & brighter future! How can you convert past knowledge & wisdom into a solid, abundant year ahead? Uranus (innovation & change) is really supporting this New Moon too, which should assist us to break out of old patterns & ruts. Right now, it’s a great time to brainstorm & plan, but keep things on the low & save talking to the world about them. January holds a much better start time.
Pace yourself over the break & know that we get a lovely few days toward the end of December, with Mars (what we do) Trining (positive!) Neptune (The Pink Cloud Planet). You’re allowed to be a slacker & have a couple of lazy daze. The energy is perfect for hanging out with friends or simply staying at home (staying in bed!?), listening to music, having a movie-fest, kissing your pets, dropping your routine on it’s head & getting stuck into your creative projects. Dream, Relax, Dream! The Chart for New Years Eve is looking great with lots of hopping around, social energy. Plans may change spontaneously & last minute, so aim to be flexible. We do have a couple of challenges though, so your intention should be more one of damping down any fires, rather than pouring petrol onto flames.
This month I’ve chosen Clear Quartz as my pin-up Crystal. What better way to express Jupiter energy too? Both Clear Quartz & Jupiter expand everything they touch. Use this Stone to open your mind, to gain clarity & to clear out lethargy. Clear Quartz can be used on its own, or you can pair it with any other Crystal to amplify & grow your intentions & set purposes. Looking through a Clear Quartz on a sunny afternoon will inspire & help you connect with the sparkling joy children experience in each & every day!
Have a Wonderful Festive Season… may Love abound for you & yours!
