Wednesday 12/28/16--Capricorn new moon

Moon joins Sun at the bottom of our seasonal cycle (into Capricorn 7:12am PT), completing the solstice process (new moon 10:53pm PT), a new foundation grounded in reality, empowered for transformative development (with Pluto in Capricorn).

At the same time, revolutionary wisdom completes months of backtracking and internalizing, building potential in personal passion (Uranus ends retrograde in Aries 1:29am PT Thursday), ready to move forward with new self-expression.

Monday 12/26/16

Soul grounding (Sun in Capricorn), heart settling (Moon in Sagittarius). New moon late Wednesday (Moon meets Sun in Capricorn 10:53pm PT) completes this year's solstice bottoming and rebounding renewal.

Core passion is reinforced, charged with potential (Saturn in Sagittarius trine Uranus retrograde in Aries), big feeling for love and harmony is energizing emerging wisdom (Jupiter in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries).

At a time of transformation rooted in the power of nature (Pluto in Capricorn), healing deep feeling in tender sensitivity is activated into expression (Mars with Neptune and Chiron in Pisces).

Wednesday 12/21/16--solstice

Sun hitting bottom for the year, into grounded constructiveness. The return of the light.

(Solstice/Capricorn 2:45am PT)

Wednesday 12/21/16--solstice

The Sun reaches its lowest point in our sky, the bottom of our seasonal cycle, winter solstice/shortest day in the north (2:45am PT). Grounding us in reality, we rebound with the constructive power of physical nature (Sun into Capricorn). From here the days get longer, the light returning to a darkened world.

This year, mind is reflective amidst it (Mercury retrograde until 1/8), with big heart for love and harmony (Moon in Libra with Jupiter). The new moon on 12/29 brings empowered renewal rooted in core needs (Sun and Moon with Pluto in Capricorn), just as revolutionary wisdom, after months building potential, shifts forward with passionate expression (Uranus ends retrograde in Aries).

We will move through a winter of essence alignment toward a new spring of flowering emergence.

Monday 12/19/16--Mercury retrograde

Mental Mercury goes retrograde (2:55am PT), apparent backtracking, in the grounded nature force of Capricorn, until 1/8. Nothing wrong with this if we accept reflection, giving pause and depth moving forward.

Saturday 12/17/16

Core passion reinforced, with revolutionary expression. Mind slowing to a stop in grounded constructiveness. Getting down to the bottom of things.

(Sun with Saturn in Sagittarius, Moon in Leo, Uranus in Aries--fire signs. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn Monday. Solstice Wednesday 2:45am PT.)

Thursday 12/15/16

Four-way energizing releases: Moon in sensitive Cancer, Pluto in grounding Capricorn, Jupiter in loving Libra, Uranus in Aries passion. Stabilizing and activating.

Mental Mercury slowing to a stop, retrograde for a few weeks Monday. Sun reaches low point for the year, winter solstice, 12/21.

Tuesday 12/13/16--full moon

Getting down to the bottom of things with reinforced passion, full moon in mentality, amplified and activated, shifting to flowing release Wednesday. Primal power leads the way, rooted in core needs. Healing deep feeling in tender sensitivity. Soon, the season of grounded renewal.

(Sun in Sagittarius with Saturn, trine Uranus in Aries. Moon full in Gemini trine Jupiter in Libra, Mars in Aquarius, 4:05pm PT. Moon into Cancer 4:09am PT Wed. Mercury with Pluto in Capricorn. Chiron and Neptune in Pisces. Winter solstice 12/21.)
