weekly astrology forecast | December 19th - 25th, 2022 - the week our painful vulnerabilities push us toward something better, a second wind and a second chance, new goals and ambitions and upgraded traditions

 

 

I am a bit slammed for time tonight, so let's jump right into the week and we will iron a few wrinkles out in the New Moon post next!

MONDAY, December 19 - Venus squares Chiron, Venus trines North Node, Sun crosses Galactic Center

TUESDAY, December 20 - Jupiter re-enters Aries!!

WEDNESDAY, December 21 - Sun into Capricorn (Winter Solstice northern hemisphere)

THURSDAY, December 22 - Venus trines Uranus

FRIDAY, December 23 - Chiron stations direct, NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN

SATURDAY, December 24 - Mercury sextiles Neptune

 

On MONDAY - Venus in Capricorn squares Chiron, Mars retro in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries then Venus trines the North Node In Taurus (a sign she rules) 

The Venus/Chiron square is painful/hurts. We could be reminded of how we don't quite fit in. Maybe this is a work situation where we do not feel like we are good enough or we feel unappreciated. Maybe we feel unattractive or too old. Maybe we make a mistake/feel humiliated/vulnerable. Venus is inconjunct Mars, so what we want and how we go about getting it are not so compatible right now - our actions/words can be awkward. This is a Cappy/Aries square - authority/rules vs the individual.

 

The good news - Venus immediately moves into a trine with the North Node (our best way forward - something more stable and more simple and more abundant). So somehow this pain/vulnerability is helping us move in a more solid direction. Something falls together as we take small practical steps in a new direction. Time to value ourselves. Keep in mind also Mars retro's opportunistic sextile to Chiron - keep things light, say it again in a different way, do something over, ask another question, make a different decision. Mars in Gemini is quick, so don't dwell on the painful situation/keep going.

 

This is also the day the Sun crosses over the Galactic Center - our homing center/seat of creation/source - pray, meditate, light a candle, ask for guidance.

 

On TUESDAY - Jupiter returns to Aries!! - crossing an Aries point (where our collective attention is all on the same thing) and GIVING US A SECOND WIND and A SECOND CHANCE. 

 

We are back where we were on May 10th when Jupiter moved into Aries the first time, but now we are older and wiser. If we jumped into something back then that didn't seem to go anywhere, or we didn't jump and wish we had, or we jumped too quickly and made a mess of things, well, we might just get a second chance now to do it BETTER. If a situation got stuck or turned around back at the end of July or end of October, well, here's where things can start moving again. Keep in mind, Jupiter's propensity for 'bigger-is-better' - hopefully we used the the retro period and Jupiter's backtrack into Pisces to get an assessment of the reality of something here. If something starts to grow that is not to your liking think about what you have learned in the last few months and use the retrograde Mars in Gemini to make different choices and take different actions.

In Aries, Jupiter will get all of us fired up in some part of our life. Our Aries house expands. Jupiter, the natural ruler of fiery Sagittarius will increase our optimism/faith. We will talk about this in the next few posts. Jupiter will only be in Aries until May 2023, so because Aries is impulsive and this transit will be quick, there will be times we might feel like we have to grab onto things before we are sure and sometimes we will (why Jupiter rules FAITH) have to do this, but, we can also take something too far or go too fast, especially with Mars retrograde and Mercury about to be. Opportunities WILL present themselves. We are going to have to know ourselves/what we really want and need and be smart about things. Sometimes we are going to have to jump onto the train without the itinerary all set out for us and maybe with some of our luggage still at the station. We'll talk about this in the New Moon post and as we move through this. Keep in mind mid-January is going to launch a very clear GO cycle of many weeks.

On WEDNESDAY - the Sun moves into Capricorn (Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere) - we will talk about this in the next post on the New Moon. The standing Sun - 0 degrees Cappy - with beneficial Jupiter at 0 degrees Aries, the FIRST DEGREE of the zodiac - feels like a BIG FRESH START with an extra push. Multiple planets in Cappy should keep our feet on the ground.

Post to follow!

On THURSDAY - Venus in Cappy trines Uranus in Taurus. Like Mercury did last week, now serious Venus in Capricorn wants something ELSE. We are attracted to what is new and unusual. Traditions are upgraded/changed. Maybe we are stepping into new responsibilities, making new commitments, setting new goals. Career changes should provide more freedom. Something can fall into place here. Earth trines are solid/practical. Something here just makes sense/cents. And of course, Venus/Uranus can bring surprises with love and money! 

On FRIDAY - Chiron stations direct. New Moon in Capricorn squaring an optimistic and expansive Jupiter in Aries.

Chiron direct means we are moving forward with whatever hurt/vulnerability we have been re-working since the middle of 2021. Collectively this will be about our ability to take care of ourselves and be ourselves and personally our natal and progressed Aries house themes will apply, too. With Jupiter in Aries now, too, we will have increased confidence and courage to deal with what hurts, trash any self-sabotaging crap and move on. I like the timing of this one.

This is also the day the Moon meets the Sun at 1 degree Capricorn giving us this month's New Moon, our annual New Moon in serious Capricorn. This New Moon is all about setting and applying ourselves to new and realistic, long-term goals and ambitions, making commitments to situations and people that make sense/cents - things we want to grow and taking responsibility for ourselves, BIG girl pants on. That square to a fiery Jupiter is going to push us to take some risks over the next few weeks. There is potential and optimism here, but we will surely have to watch for exaggerated hopes and over-doings. Expect a BIG post!

 

I hope something here is helpful. Short and sweet because I am a bit wiped out from a holiday party we threw tonight and the week looks pretty damn good. 

 

The Moons on Christmas Eve (Cappy) and Christmas Day (Aquarius, so yes the mood will change) both look seriously dreamy and Mercury will be sextiling Neptune for even more 'making our dreams come true' energy.

 

Back with that important New Moon post next!
