Today's astrology Forecast | Thursday, December 9th, 2021 (plus Friday the 10th) - moving with the moon


 

 

The next couple days are all about our beloved Luna. 

 

TODAY - our waxing crescent Moon is finishing up in Aquarius - we are nurtured/nourished by change, the future, doing something different, unusual people and situations, our groups and causes, astrology, intellect, detaching emotionally from hot button situations. She meets up with Jupiter at 3:52AM EST and then goes void off a square to Mars at 4:59AM EST. That closing square could make us antsy, easily annoyed/angered or, since it follows the Jupiter conjunction add to our enthusiasm/get us really fired up. Watch for tendencies to take on too much now, act impulsively or over-react.


She will be void until she moves into Pisces at 9:53AM EST. 

 

In Pisces, we are nurtured/nourished by our imagination, spirituality, art, music, going with the flow. Our boundaries are more porous, so we are more likely to pick up other people's moods, thoughts, colds. She will square the North/South Nodes (Gemini/Sagittarius) and then go on to square Ceres backtracking through Gemini.


Squares to the Nodes speak of decision points. The Moon is our emotional compass, so what will make us feel better? Choices between the past and the future come into play. The North Node is still in Gemini, answering to Mercury and home to that retrograde Ceres. So, the way forward involves information, communication, staying flexible, keeping options open, thinking local and detailed. With Ceres activated situations involving mothering, seasons of life and things that are out of our control and require compromise might come to our attention. The Moon in Pisces wants to feel her way through whatever this is/use our intuition, but the North Node (our best way forward) is requiring logic/details. Ask questions. Stay open to new ideas/fresh intel. Keep things small and local.


TOMORROW - the Moon continues her journey through loving, but sometimes confusing/draining Pisces. She sextiles a retrograde Uranus at 6:21AM EST - time to do something differently or different - then reaches her first quarter square at 8:35PM EDT squaring the Sagittarius Sun and finally meets Pisces ruler Neptune at 10:50PM. 


At the first quarter Moon we face our New Moon's first tension/frustration. Pisces/Sag squares can bring a required sacrifice or test of faith. Beliefs can dissolve. Our hopes/plans for more can come up against our escapist tendencies (sometimes just exhaustion). Squares in Pisces are intended to enable release, so what will escape if we just open our fingers a tiny little bit? Are we able to let that go? This can also be about getting over an obstacle/closer to that greener grass over there by eliminating escape/distractions. The follow-up meeting to Neptune is good for creative work, healing, compassion, charity work, connecting with the past (is anyone else loving the Beatles documentary) and REST.


xo all - back tomorrow with the Venus retrograde post
