A lot of energy packed into a few days. Today, December 21, 2018, is the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere). It marks the longest night of the year and the shortest day. This season is also known as Yule, if you follow the Wheel of the Year. The sun is now in Capricorn. Which is where Saturn is, and will stay until 2020. Saturn is at home in Capricorn. So a grounded, responsible, stable energy.
There will also be a full moon in Cancer on December 22. Interesting that we have the darkest night of the year followed with this bright full moon. Cancer is a sensitive, family oriented water sign. Not at all surprising that this full moon falls around Christmas – when a lot of people are around family. There may be something coming to completion with this moon concerning family issues. Perhaps a dynamic within a relationship within the family. Full moons complete a lunar cycle, so they are known as times for finishing and ending. And, as always, they can bring with them a lot of emotion. So go easy with family and with yourself.
The nodes of the moon are also in Cancer/Capricorn. So this full moon may be felt more strongly by these two signs or by people with a lot of water and/or earth in their chart. This also kicks off the eclipse season that literally starts at the beginning of 2019. There will be an eclipse in January in Capricorn. So what happens right around now may highlight some of the issues that may come to the fore at the beginning of 2019.
We also have a conjunction between Jupiter and Mercury. This should be fairly positive with a focus on “living life large.” Jupiter is currently transiting Sagittarius so travel may be highlighted. So too will be learning or study. And there may be a tendency to talk about it. Just be careful because there may be too much talking. Where Jupiter goes, so too does expansion and excess.
Light a candle tonight to signify the light that will soon be coming into your life. After the solstice, the days begin to get longer and brighter.
Be open to what calls you…
