This week we see a rare connection between charming Venus and transforming Pluto – a time of deep changes in how we feel.
Thursday, Dec. 9: While fate may shine on all today, we are likely not too willing to return the favour. Jupiter brings gifts but we may be too self-centered to take them. The longest-running TV soap opera, “Coronation Street,” celebrates 61 years today. It first aired in Britain on Dec. 9, 1960.
Friday, Dec. 10: The first quarter moon in Pisces is 90 degrees to the sun in Sagittarius and in the same place in the sky as Neptune. Challenges are met with tons of imagination and good fortune. On Dec. 10, 2016, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature.
Saturday, Dec. 11: Today Venus is conjunct Pluto. Not only will Venus and Pluto be holding hands pretty much the whole month of December but since Venus will be retrograding this month, we have a record of three exact Venus-Pluto conjunctions, the last one happening in March 2022. Venus and Pluto conjunctions are really intense, even when they last for only three days like they normally do. We are now about to have a three-month long conjunction. Venus is our feelings, our subjective experience of life – and that includes our values, likes and dislikes, the kinds of things and people we are attracted to. When Venus is conjunct Pluto, some dark Venus truths come to light. Some uncomfortable, unprocessed feelings ask for release. Pluto demands to get real about what we want – and there’s always something brutal about Pluto’s revelations, no matter how much shadow work we have done in the past, or how spiritually enlightened (we think) we are. What we really want, what we value, the source, the underlying reason for everything, is something so primal, so rooted in our identity, that it is directing our life in a way that leaves us powerless – until we become aware of the dynamic. Marconi first demonstrated his invention, ‘the radio’ on Dec. 11, 1896, with a short broadcast from Cornwall, England, to St. John’s, N.L. – a distance of more than 1,700 miles.
Sunday, Dec. 12: Every day, Neptune has a new role to play. At least this week that is so. A 90-degree square from Neptune to the sun may bring wonderful gifts. Or not. Or, as sometimes becomes Neptune, we get both the good and the bad. Music fans get to celebrate Frank Sinatra, born Dec. 12, 1915.
Monday, Dec. 13: The north node of the moon engages in a few connections today. Our ideas focus on long-term plans, our spiritual goals and not just our thoughts, but our actions are there to support this as well. Improved health comes with increased faith. Christopher Plummer was born Dec. 13, 1929, in Toronto. While he is best remembered for his role in “The Sound of Music,” he also won praise for his role in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”
Tuesday, Dec. 14: As the moon moves into surefooted Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius is there to say, “No, not so sure about this.” We need to determine what the problem is in order to move forward. Happy birthday #518 to Michel de Nostradamus, French apothecary and astrologer whose rhyming predictions include Hitler and the Second World War.
Wednesday, Dec. 15: While Uranus has been lazily moving through Taurus since 2019, rarely do we see the gas giant in action like we will today. Be prepared for a major surprise, if possible. Gustave Eiffel was born Dec. 15, 1832, in Dijon, France. In addition to the Eiffel Tower, he also designed the support for the Stature of Liberty.
Next week, we see the full moon in Gemini and the start of Capricorn.
