December 1st – 7th

Beginning out the month…

December 2nd: Mercury sextile Saturn

Mentorship. Clear your mind, clear your heart – get ready to learn. The student becomes the teacher and vice versa. This is a great transit to work with when you need to come across as an authority, or step into the authority of your own life. It’s also optimal for studying your family lineage, working with people who are older and wiser, and negotiating long-term deals. Know this: Sometimes the best teacher is silence. This can be felt a day in advance and occurs April 5, May 12, May 19, December 2, and December 21.


Then, on the third: Venus square Pluto

Are you feeling the intensity? Breakups, breakdowns, and breakthroughs are all possible in love and money. Aim to be the best, most honest version of yourself and give everyone space to experience their own truths. This transit can start bubbling emotions around a day in advance and occurs March 16, and December 3.


Continuing on into the month, 

December 4th, Venus enters Scorpio

Stay curious. Lady Venus moves into hotel Scorpio where she inspires us to wonder about the mysteries of life. Love takes on a deeper meaning, finances get a boost, and work life feels more empowering. The magick of life works when you stay focused on self-growth through December 29.


December 5th, Venus trine Saturn

Commitments in love feel good right now – and you’re able to make some headway with longterm goals and plans in all areas of your life. This can be felt coming in a day early and occurs May 13, and December 5.

Last Quarter Moon at 12° Virgo

This is harvest time. Something that started 2.5 years ago, and was propelled into action 1.5 years ago—is now coming to fruition. What is completing now? This Moon marks wisdom, experience, and seasoned perspective. Bills are due—it’s time to pay things off, or invoice for money owed. Can you provide awards or recognition for something that is wrapping up?


December 6th, Neptune Direct in Pisces

Neptune retrogrades in Pisces June 30 through December 6, 2023. This can be a time of inner reflection and increased psychic awareness. Do you want to recommit to your meditation practice? Write a new song? Keep a dream journal?

December 8th – 14th

The second week begins on December 8th:

Venus opposite Jupiter Abundance can be a blessing and a curse. Be careful about overdoing sugar, and overspending. If things don’t gel today – no sweat. Do you want to let some time pass before making decisions and important appointments? Take nothing personally. This over the top energy can arrive a day in advance, and (friendly reminder) isn’t about ‘you’.

Then, on the eleventh, Mercury sextile Venus

Love letters. Ease, harmony, flow. It’s a good day for a good day. Shop the sales, find deals at vintage markets, and interesting items at garage or estate sales. If you’re organizing, and you don’t love it, let someone else have it: it’s an equally good time to put your unwanted things on the market and clear your clutter. It’s amazing what a clean ‘junk’ drawer can do for the mind. This can be felt a day in advance and occurs May 12, June 17, November 15, and December 11.

Closing out the week: the New Moon at 20°Sagittarius, on the 12th

Emotional-Illumination.

Set intentions around wrapping up anything that no longer serves you, removing any blocks to new beginnings, and removing anything that hinders your confidence and clarity. Under the light of the Full Moon it’s time to face facts, make adjustments, and reflect on what is seen at this time. Do you want to make a bold declaration for yourself?
