December 16 through December 22, 2019
The Sun moves into Capricorn on Saturday, marking the winter solstice (summer in the southern hemisphere) and the start of a brand new season. Astrologically, both seasons represent the spiritual sides of the year, whether we’re being called to go within and hunker down during the cold or slow down and lay low in the heat of the days. So with that in mind, we can expect four weeks of internal movement, evaluation and patience as we nurture out souls and hopes and dreams for the future. The other astrological change we’ll encounter this week is Venus’ move into Aquarius on Friday. Our love of the unusual, the innovative and the opportunity for change will come to the forefront as the plant of love urges us to embrace unconditional love no matter what our unique differences are. We’ll power up and get ready for the holidays, and backed by the Leo Moon on Monday and Virgo Moon on Tuesday and Wednesday, things should start coming together at record pace. Striving for balance (and not overdoing the prep work and spending) will be easier when the Moon moves into Libra Thursday and Friday. The Sun’s entry into Capricorn on Saturday will set the stage for a shift of focus over the weekend, as the Pisces Moon encourages us to let go, step back and move into the holidays with open hearts and minds.
