Responsible & Flexible Choices
This week’s headline items: Neptune and Chiron remain exalted all week; the first Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Tuesday afternoon; Thursday late evening, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere; Mercury re-enters Sagittarius very early Saturday; Jupiter starts to slow down again (station) at 5.5 degrees of Taurus — preparing to end its 4-month Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 2 hours), Thursday late evening (for 3 minutes), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for a little over 1.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, it’s not too late to watch…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, December 18th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive, intuitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
However, that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities.
A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
Monday late morning, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 9:28am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Dec. 4th on; it will remain strong until Thursday afternoon (Dec. 21st), an unusually long time due to Mercury’s Station and Retrograde phases. This is the second time this aspect will be exact within two weeks — the first was on Dec. 7th.
Think back to that time and ask yourself: what connections or interactions with others felt like a boost for your confidence or your pocketbook?
During this time, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively, and readily inspire others.
We are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, and countries — and places of great natural beauty.
Ask yourself: What could I learn about my business, long-term goals, or standing in society that would expand my horizons? What might support a more abundant approach long term?
Optimism plays a big role here as well. Ask yourself: What could I take care of at this time that would support building for the long term (and my bank account too)?
With this aspect, we can also gain a new perspective or philosophy around our social obligations, personal sovereignty, and self-growth.
What does “personal sovereignty” mean to me? How could optimistic thoughts help me have a healthy relationship to myself? How about around my self-worth? My body? Talents? Finances?
Ask yourself: If I start to put pressure on myself or others, could I experiment with making responsible and flexible choices that support my self-worth?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-9 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday evening has a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, and allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you and others (Moon in Pisces trines Venus in Scorpio, exact at 7:30pm EST)
Monday late evening, we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little — and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension invites us to stretch a little and seek resolution via creative solutions — the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy. (Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius, exact at 8:58pm EST)
