DECEMBER OVERVIEW

LUNATIONS

This NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE occurs on December 4, 2021, at 02:42:51 AM. On first impression, this lunation chart seems a bit vanilla! The Lights in Sagittarius form a double quincunx to retrograde Uranus in Taurus and form a double trine to retrograde Chiron in Aries. Preserve your security in all ways in case the unexpected occurs. Resume a healthier lifestyle and embrace what inspires you for the best results. Mars in Scorpio is in square to Jupiter in Aquarius and in trine to Neptune, now direct, in Pisces. The Water signs get a bump with their vision and instinct. Technological and mechanical items may prove to be a challenge. Have a backup plan! Thank me later!

This FULL MOON occurs on December 18, 2021, at 11:35:20 PM. The Moon is on the Gemini/Cancer cusp opposing the Sun on the Sagittarian/Capricorn cusp! It dorms a double trine to Jupiter in Aquarius and a double quincunx to Venus and Pluto combust in Capricorn! Obligation and honorable intentions are put to the test. The Jupiter trine will see you through as you think outside the box and maintain a Plan A and a Plan B! Social inspiration and gatherings, whether virtual or actual can enhance the thankfulness that we often choose to embrace in this holiday season. Invite and interact when you can!
