Overview

As charismatic Jupiter heads to the ingress of Aries on December 21^st, at the solstice, as monumental change is breaking around us. You are encouraged to make changes now. Change what you have always wanted to change. A new beginning in community support is one positive note for Jupiter in Aries. This week, as Jupiter moves through the last half of the last degree of Pisces, envisioning a future requires personal courage. Neptune remains in Pisces for another five years, with a 6-month sojourn in Ares in 2025, then back into Pisces until January 2026, as we move out of the fog and into the sunlight, possibly marking a new renaissance area. Saturn ingress to Pisces in March 2023, gives more structure as the lessons learned over the past decade are brought into focus. The Moon in Virgo this week is trine aspect to the planets in earth signs, Capricorn and Taurus, as plans are readied, and bridges built for the future, and the end of the calendar year approaches. The 3^rd Quarter Moon phase on December 16^th, as the Moon is in opposition aspect to Neptune and Jupiter, then transits to Libra and Capricorn. The solstice on December 21^st marks the seasonal change as the darkest night in the northern hemisphere.
