A Look Ahead: Friday, December 1–Thursday, December 7, 2023

Communication Glitches, Relationship Itches and New Frontiers

Welcome back to Light World Astrology! I am so happy to have you here.

I’ve highlighted the major aspects and ingresses for the first 7 days of December. This gives us a broader feel for the underlying energies as we go through our week. I hope this information is helpful to your path.

Mercury, in Shadow, headed towards a retrograde.

Give yourself some room this week. Mercury has slowed down for a retrograde, causing snags in communications, electronics, and transportation. Look at where Sagittarius and Capricorn are in your chart for more insight where this can cause issues for you.

Double-check your bank account, read the fine print, and pay attention to vehicle maintenance. Proofread your work. Some people find editing their speech to be helpful at this time, too.

Mercury enters Capricorn

On Friday, December 1, Mercury enters Capricorn. This makes me think about the post office, IRS, and paychecks. With Mercury already in shadow, save your receipts. Get those gifts ordered early. If there are power outages due to weather, have alternative fuel sources. With Saturn in Pisces, a shortage of oil and gas are possible areas of concern, too.

Moon enters Leo

Friday and Saturday warm up with a Leo Moon. This Moon encourages an already optimistic Mars and Sun in Sagittarius to be confident. Make things happen. Be proud of your ambition.

Mercury Sextile transit Saturn

Mercury in Sextile to Saturn will bring on serious discussions. Given that Mercury is retrograde, going back and working on projects that were set aside will be the best choice right now.

Saturn also rules the elderly. Check on the seniors in your life. You never know what valuable nuggets of information they may share. Offer them tech support or a drive around town in exchange for their wisdom.

Neptune Station Direct Saturday December 6th

All week, revelations could prove shocking, as Neptune has slowed down from its backwards motion. Neptune—the planet of deception, illusion, dreams, and spirituality stations direct on Wednesday morning. Once Neptune picks up direct speed, I wouldn’t be surprised if Psyop Season 117 rolls into motion. Detox and pray up. Your discernment needs to be at its best.

Venus Square transit Pluto
Venus enters Scorpio Monday at 1:51pm

Tensions build with relationships—both in our lives and in the world. Power struggles and jealousy could cause some real issues. If you know someone in an abusive relationship, check on them.

This aspect can result in significant changes. If single, this square could push people together.

Pluto/Venus squares bring love that transforms. It could be something you’ve waited for your entire life. Alternatively, obsessive, abusive or violent aspects could show on the lower octave.

Venus Trine transit Saturn

Venus begins a trine to Saturn, taming the wildness into sensible and time-honored traditions. Marriage proposals could see an upswing this season. The fear of being alone is stronger than the fear of commitment.

Money is another issue under passionate discussion. The trine with Saturn can help us get serious about stretching the dollar. In a tough economy, cutting the fat and finding luxury for less is important this holiday season. This aspect makes Christmas happen, even with the tightest budget.

With Mercury in retrograde, go back over long-term investments options you may have overlooked. Find something you are passionate about that can fill the bank account, too.

Moon enters Virgo Sunday Evening

The Virgo Moon makes an opposition to Saturn. Feeling down and sad is common with this short transit. Go to bed early. By lunchtime, the Moon will Trine Jupiter, bringing spirits up once again.

Sun Trine transit Chiron

I’ve seen a lot of talk lately about how everyone just forgot about Covid and the injustice, deceit and tragedy that went along with it. No doubt, Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, and Pluto squaring Venus in Capricorn’s last degrees, will continue to dredge up 2020 drama. Neptune stationing should reveal even more truths.

Thankfully, Chiron in trine to the Sun can help build a bridge of healing. Sunlight disinfects and heals wounds. The Sun in optimistic Sagittarius can remind us of the bigger picture. The spiritual side of humanity needs a good turn.

Mercury Trine transit Jupiter

When we need some good news, Mercury in trine to Jupiter beings it in. This can remind us of our blessings—both earthly and spiritual. Share good news, give compliments and say your prayers. Each evening, review your day and find the blessings. Talk about beautiful things, listen to music, and communicate with nature once more.

Moon enters Libra on Wednesday Morning

Relationship tension requires balancing. Contemplate the changes, losses, and gifts Venus brought to this spot these past few weeks.

New Moon in Sagittarius

Next week, we get a New Moon in Sagittarius on Tuesday, December 12th. Set fire to new projects a few days after the New Moon.

We’ve already had Mars and the Sun igniting our interests in new frontiers. Start your engines. All planets are direct in January. A new world awaits! Start your plans now for a prosperous 2024.

Blessings on a fabulous week!
