December 2-9 2020

With the Sun in Sagittarius, the Moon on Wednesday is in Cancer where it will oppose the three power planets in Capricorn this Thursday. These opposition aspects bring the separating Pluto–Jupiter conjunction aspect into play again. More transformative moves will be underway this week. The Moon ingress to Leo on Friday morning, and will make a trine aspect to the Sun, bringing out beneficial and needed relief from painful cycles of Covid and economic distress. A few hours later, Moon transits to make a grand trine configuration especially indicated for those who have planets in their natal chart between 14-19 deg of a fire sign (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius). Good luck is indicated, or at least increased mobility either fortunate or disastrous, as illusions are revealed or deepened.  Hope for the best in the end. The Moon ingress to Virgo on Sunday evening, as we work on repairing what has been spoiled. On Tuesday, the Moon trine aspect to Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn, offer opportunities to find better ways to reach specific goals.

Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday December 2^nd — Chiron retro in Aries is in a square aspect from the Moon in Cancer. Is this a counter-intuitive moment? Maybe things are not as they seem?  The Moon in its home sign Cancer, is sextile aspect to Uranus in Taurus for a jolt of reality, out of your comfort zone. Later, a quincunx aspect from the Moon to the Sun releases a creative urge.  The Moon trine aspect to Venus in the evening is more rewarding.

Thursday December 3^rd — The Moon is square aspect to Mars in Aries in the morning hours (US time) and afternoon in the ME. A trine aspect from the Moon to Neptune is almost simultaneous —  distortions follow events. Anger could touch off religious furor and could become explosive as the lunar opposition aspect to Pluto in Capricorn is met, late in the evening (US time). The Moon combines the opposition aspects to Pluto and Jupiter, to become more explosive, touching off a round of political acrimony. Trump, in a turn-about, could concede the election, at last, or possibly launch an attack. His announcement to run for re-election in 2024 is one recourse he might take that at least is a manageable face-saving response to his loss.

Friday December 4^th — The Moon ingress to Leo, as pride leads actions. A grand– trine configuration with Chiron in Aries and Mercury in Sadge, all fire signs, at noon in DC (evening in the ME) for the planning stages toward a goal. The square aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus follows, upsetting events and increasing the urgency for action.

Saturday December 5^th — Venus in Scorpio trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces, deepens commitment. Illusions are resolved as plans proceed.  A grand–trine configuration in fire signs forms as the Moon is trine aspect to both the Sun in Sadge and Mars in Aries.  The Moon square aspect to Venus in Scorp and quincunx aspect to Neptune in Pisces could pump up the rhetoric. Mercury in Sadge is quincunx aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, an aspect of distrust and ingenuity. A possible dismantling of explosive issues could result, as the Moon transits to a quincunx aspect to Pluto.

Sunday December 6^th — The Moon in Leo makes its quincunx aspect to Jupiter and Saturn, combining the two power globes into the conjunction aspect. It is as though the beginning of the Jupiter–Saturn cycle, as the seeds for the cycle are made fertile. It marks the beginning of an administration, a birth of a powerful life force that combines the contraction and expansion issues to initiate an advanced world-view. Mercury in Sadge quincunx aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, and Venus in Scorpio quincunx aspect to Mars in Aries continue with innovative methods to distract and tame the powers that could result in violence. The Moon ingress to Virgo happens as we turn to practical day-to-day matters.

Monday December 7^th — With the Moon in Virgo is trine aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus early today (or overnight Sunday US time) so there may be practical measures to take, allowing an escape from dangers. The Moon is square aspect to Mercury in Sadge as ideas may be reversed or rejected. The Moon is in a square aspect to the Sun in the evening (US time zones) or overnight in the ME, for the 3^rd quarter lunar phase. The crisis in dissemination, as the Moon is in an opposition aspect to Neptune in Pisces and a quincunx aspect to Mars in Aries. If helpful solutions have been found, they can be applied now.

Tuesday December 8^th — The Moon in Virgo and in a trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn early in the day, allows for acceptance of the transformations already underway. A vaccine that will help to reduce the spread of the Covid pandemic becomes approved in theory. Hopes rise that the end of the pandemic is in sight, and the beginning of accountability in government as the Moon ingress to Libra late in the day.
