Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday December 16^th — With the Moon in Capricorn today, there is a full stellium, a configuration that requires at least 4 planets in one sign. Jupiter is about half a degree approaching Saturn, so effectively within the orb of influence, as the two giant planets of our solar system combine their influence in astrological terms. As the Moon transits Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn, the influences combine and blend, activating their powers. Threatened violence is met with force until peace is restored.  Action by Congress on the distribution of relief for businesses and individuals is likely to succeed now as the vaccine is administered to front-line workers.

Venus in Sadge is quincunx aspect to Uranus in Taurus, an indirect compliment to the actions. The Moon in Pisces transits Neptune later in the day, as mixed messaging brings confusion.

Monday December 21^st — The early morning solstice point that is the Sun’s entrance into Capricorn, and the Jupiter –Saturn partile conjunction, with Jupiter superseding Saturn at zero degrees Aquarius coincide with advancements in social justice and universal acceptance.

Conflicts are likely to continue through Wednesday, when the Moon in Aries reaches the conjunction aspect to Mars.
