December Transits and Monthly Overview
December Transits and Monthly Overview


December has a calm-before-the-storm quality, but one that may not be immediately clocked due to the pace of events. The coming weeks forecast substantial activity and noise; good-humored, celebratory, an atmosphere imbued with promise. Amidst festivities, office parties and family gatherings, disputes arise and are quickly quashed. Disappointments give way to unexpected surprises. Miscalculations bring people closer together, possibly generating some quality lore in the process. These are not monumental situations. In many ways, they are the prosaic, no-big-deal life events that we retrospectively label 'a whole lot of nothing.' Yet it’s funny how a bunch of 'nothings' can architect the most important something; a backdrop for togetherness and gratitude.
 
There is a tone shift mid-month as Mars enters Capricorn, offering fortitude to those who might be feeling anxiety around the holidays or around holiday financial realities. From this point on, a series of squares between Saturn/Neptune and the inner planets following one another into the sign of the sea goat adds to the tension. Nonetheless, December asks us to be present and enjoy the mundane nothings, and to reflect with reverence on the past year before the new year brings greater change to our doorstep. 


NOTABLE TRANSITS

December 10/11 – Neptune is direct: with Saturn close on its heels. This is Neptune’s final full month in Pisces.

December 11/12 – Mercury enters Sagittarius: finishing up its post-Rx shadow. A breakthrough regarding arguments or impasses arrived at circa October 30 is discovered.

December 14/15 – Mars enters Capricorn: awakening our inner strategist and encouraging us to play the long game.

December 21/22 – Jupiter square Chiron: a limiting belief requires direct action to resolve.

December 21/22 – Sun enters Capricorn: winter/summer Solstice (Northern/Southern hemisphere) inspires reverence for the wisdom of the seasons.

December 24/25 – Venus enters Capricorn: love is patient, love is kind, as long as you have commitment in mind.
