Week Ahead Transits 2 - 8 December

Sometimes what we need to feel productive is a clean and organized work environment. With the Moon in Capricorn aspecting its ruling planet Saturn, we seek familiarity, stability and security outside in the world by first finding that within our own homes. With practical, self-reliance at hand, we are focused on the goal. This is a good day to tackle any long term projects or plans that had been put on the back burner for a more productive day because we are probing ahead with emotional resilience.

Mercury conjoins with the Sun at 14° 11’ marking its transition into its morning star phase, causing us to instinctively recoil at any hint of restriction on our freedom of opinion. While Mercury is obscured by the Sun, Mercury is taking it upon itself to spread the knowledge of a higher order to the masses. The desire to speak freely of one’s own volition without the rules and restrictions of the somber, stick in the mud Scorpio raining on the parade with skeptical realism. Reminder that every single word we use can be misconstrued into a thousand other meanings than what we had originally intended.

With such an active day, it becomes difficult to know just what to expect. Mars stations retrograde in Leo, which causes an abrupt change in direction. Your passion might all of a sudden fizzle out or the realization of the long term effects causes one to lose interest in either a project, person, goal or motivating factor. Venus entering cool and detached Aquarius adds to the unexpected pivot in what we originally thought we so desperately wanted. We may be affected by someone else who has a sudden change of heart which leads to us having to reconsider how we are to continue moving forward.

The confusion around direction and aim continues as we may be feeling like boiling over with the amount of strong feelings that slowly percolate to the surface of our consciousness. Perhaps some answers came during dreamland with Neptune stationing direct. The Sun opposes Jupiter, the authorities are being challenged and scrutinized over spiritual and religious beliefs. The Moon entering Pisces today begs of us to just take a moment out of the chaos for just a brief moment of introspection. If you are feeling the feels, Venus conjunct Pluto certainly is there crying with you, allow yourself the process of catharsis, however that looks for you today.

The first quarter Moon meets with Saturn in Pisces, bringing forth a grounded and wise perspective that may not be what we want, but is certainly what we need. Take the day to heal and connect with community, organize the home. Try and explore big feelings through an artistic medium, create a container to channel the subconscious mind. The Sun in Sagittarius requires freedom to roam untethered and the Moon in Pisces will allow it, which becomes the rub. Sometimes too much freedom is the ailment to begin with and what can quell the unease is a bit of compartmentalizing.
