Hey there! Thank you so much for reading this horoscope :) Hope that you are happy and safe where you are. I have been in Cali meeting with Amy Dee from the Gold Pill this week <3 <3 I have my notes on all of my 2024 readings and am going to record them all when I get back to NC on Wednesday. :)
Mercury has stationed retrograde (since December 13th at the 8th degree of Capricorn until January 1st after Mercury moves into Sagittarius). This for me looks like an opportunity to get caught up, but I think for everyone this is looking at the sustainability and the durability of the structures and systems that we have in our life. Pluto is at the very last degree of Capricorn officially… quite intense being on the cusp of a new world. The phases between big outer planet transitions are so… liminal they can feel like a waking dream and there’s a feeling of surreality creeping over the scene for the holidays here, at least for me.
This is a pretty positive Mercury retrograde because of the three trine aspects to Jupiter in Taurus (which will probably feel a bit better on January 19th once both are direct) which is really letting us know this week on Monday where the potential is to build and if there are any gems in our past to go back to take a look at. The end of this year is very reflective and we’ll need all the rest and reflection as we come into 2024.
On Tuesday, the moon will move into Aries. I’d like to suggest that you really make use of all of this fire because there’s about to be no more fire in the astrology for a few months! So use this moon in Aries to be active, to go do things that you need to get done and to find inspiration (and for the rest of Sagittarius season!)
On Wednesday, the moon will connect with Chiron and the North Node, which are growing closer and closer together for their conjunction in February for a very humbling moment for the collective and a very healing moment for individuals that kinda takes us back to March of 2023 when Jupiter and the North Node connected with each other. Wednesday could be pretty emotionally weird… and with a bit of foreshadowing.
On Thursday, Venus in Scorpio is going to oppose Uranus in Taurus which is intriguing and potentially exciting. Mars, the Sun and Mercury have all been through this with Uranus in Taurus around October 28th where there was a full moon lunar eclipse at the same degree that Jupiter is stationing retrograde on December 31st. Venus since this summer has been on quite a journey and there are aspects of us that need some retrieval and some TLC from that, in my opinion. Venus’ opposition to Uranus is really highlighting what needs restoration and healing.
Also on Thursday, Mercury retrograde in Capricorn makes a sextile aspect to Saturn in Pisces which is really good in my opinion. This is like the feeling we get where we really slow down to listen to our elders and afterwards we are glad that we did ~ there’s a message waiting for all of us through unexpected mediums on Thursday through this sextile and then this sextile will re-emerge when Mercury moves into Capricorn after January 13th.
After Mercury passes over that sextile to Saturn, Mercury will move into a conjunction with the Sun as it’s just come into Capricorn to initiate the winter season officially. I’d pay very close attention to what comes into our awareness and the messages we’re getting Thursday and Friday as it seems like the energetic peak of the week (in 2023 this being an energetic peak doesn’t really come close to what we’ve been regularly seeing!)
Friday, the moon will move into Taurus and will connect with Jupiter for the last time before it stations direct on December 31st so there’s a very interesting almost nostalgic component about our tangible world and circumstances ~ perhaps just like thinking with gratitude about what we have in our lives now and experiencing a sense of emotional positivity.
Then, Saturday, the moon will connect with Uranus ad get involved in the Venus-Uranus opposition, bringing along with it emotional clarity and maybe even some ideas for how to get through some of the pieces that are left undealt with from this summer.
Sunday, the Sun in Capricorn is going to make a sextile to Saturn in Pisces and honestly I see these transits as being very clarifying and nourishing to us. The combination of Capricorn and Pisces can be very mystical, spiritual and attuned to destiny. The moon will move into Gemini which is kinda at odds with Capricorn ~ this is an energy that we really want to stay busy in and guard against being double minded.
I’ve decided to jump ahead and write about Jupiter stationing direct on December 31st for all rising signs :) This is where the energy is going to begin to feel way more forward and then January and February are flying months… Will be writing more about that this week. The following horoscopes tie in the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction that is happening in April which is going to be a very big deal both in the world and in our personal lives.
