Overview
The Sun in Sagittarius squares Jupiter in Virgo on December 14th, and moves on to square the South Node in Pisces/North Node in Virgo on December 18th. December 14th to 18th will be days of prime opportunity that bring you to a crossroads. There’s something that’s been fully developed and is now ready to be completed or released (symbolized by the South Node). The North Node and Jupiter is your path forward. You’ll be moving from what’s insubstantial, vague or idealistic to what’s real and precise. "Details" are your key word for this one.
On December 18th Venus in Scorpio inconjuncts Uranus Rx in Aries, creating tension and surprises around money, personal values and relationships. Venus in Scorpio wants it all, while Uranus in Aries suggests contradictory reactions. This can be a case of you expressing a preference for X and someone else wants the complete opposite, just because. But the December 19th trine between Venus and Chiron in Pisces suggests that it can work out. While you may not get everything you want, the tension that’s triggered can be the key to increased compassion, understanding or release. These brief influences use discomfort as the gateway to healing.
Also on December 19th, Mercury in Capricorn conjoins Pluto, adding an even deeper layer of understanding to the Venus/Chiron trine. Mercury/Pluto is about focused understanding and profound statements. But Mercury will also be approaching a disruptive square to Uranus Rx in Aries, exact on December 20th. So the depth of what you discover or discuss will not unfold lightly. The deeper you go, the more extreme the reactions will be. Or, it may take a jolt to loosen your grip from an idea that you’ve been clinging to. The outcome will be truthful, and your best approach is to adopt a lighter attitude to your “truth.” Beware the obsessive urge to convince someone else that you’re right, or that they must do what you say.
Aries:
The Sun in your opportunities sector squares Jupiter and the Nodes, pointing to a hopeful development (involving long distance travel, education, legal matters, publishing or education) that you can keep dreaming about, or make real. There may also be some temptation to gloss over details, but your best bet is to hone in on exactly what you’re tempted to avoid.
Venus (in your sector of shared resources) suggests an unpleasant jolt (regarding finances or intimacy) may reveal more than you wanted. But this might not be such a bad thing. Here’s a chance to have a heart to heart, or open up about what you really want (or are unable to give). Mercury in your career sector conjoins Pluto and squares Uranus Rx in your sign, triggering tense conversations with those in authority. Or, your orders may be challenged by someone else. You could be pushed to launch a verbal smackdown, or find that your future plans are not in line with current rules. Arguments and verbal power struggles will be public, and could impact your professional reputation.
Taurus:
The Sun in your sector of shared resources squares Jupiter and the Nodes, boosting your desire to spend, get closer or go deeper. There’s a chance to take a romantic, creative or financial potential from big picture hope to reality, but you’ll have to dig into the facts. How serious are you (or they), and how much are you willing to commit? Developments with children/pregnancy may also be hi-lighted.
Venus in your partnership sector can stir up unexpected relationship tensions, as a hidden or unforeseen want sneaks out. Too, an unpleasant clarification could make you nervous. Whatever develops, know that you’re not the only one going through this, and others may be able to provide key support or relief. It’s also possible that going public may be the best option. Mercury conjoins Pluto in your sector of opportunities and squares Uranus Rx, bringing surprising news related to long distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You may be powerfully focused on a certain outcome, but last minute information may shed new light. What you’re communicating may have a broader impact than you imagined.
Gemini:
The Sun in your partnership sector squares Jupiter and the Nodes, suggesting a career or future opportunity can come to fruition. There’s potential to take that external success and apply it to a domestic/family situation, thereby continuing the growth. Don’t stop moving forward, but you may need to adjust your course a bit to include a domestic partner. Too, your partner’s decision may have a significant impact on a your professional life.
Venus in your sector of routine can stir up the unexpected with work (work routines, co-workers) or health, but those in authority will have your back (or at least, a sympathetic ear). Efforts that you make to detangle a frustrating situation in your daily life can lead to positive outcomes in the big picture. If you need to file a complaint, express your dissatisfaction with an obligation or just vent about how crappy you feel, these energies can support you. Mercury conjoins Pluto in your sector of shared resources, and squares Uranus Rx. Discussions/information involving shared finances (debts, taxes, your partner’s finances) or intimacy can feel extremely heavy, and may be triggered by matters outside your control. Too, something you had decided on may be completely disproven. However, the talk needs to happen, or the investigation needs to be done. Dive in and focus on hammering out a solution.
Cancer:
The Sun in your sector of routine squares Jupiter and the Nodes, bringing a rush of ideas, solutions or work. While there may be more to handle, this is also a chance to grab a vague plan and give it practical application. You actually know what you have to do or say. Now’s the time. Medical issues can be frustrating/overwhelming, but know that common sense and attention to the facts will get you further than what-if scenarios.
Venus in your sector of self-expression suggests you may take something (a creative project, a new attraction) a bit too far. You’re feeling inspired or moved, but what you want doesn’t exactly line up with where you’re going. Nonetheless, there’s still room for progress if you regroup, refocus, and keep exploring new potentials, in spite of your discomfort. Mercury conjoins Pluto in your partnership sector and squares Uranus Rx, signalling a confession, or confrontation about what one or both of you really think. Communication may be challenging, but it will clear the dust.
Leo:
The Sun in your sector of self-expression squares Jupiter and the Nodes, bringing you to a decision point about an attraction (go deeper/push for more) or financial matter. You certainly want more, but the question is, would it be in your best interests? Before taking the next step, look carefully at what you’re gong to invest, and if the returns would empower you. Too, these influences can put you on notice that it’s time to get serious about spending/saving. There may be a “nice to have” that’s calling your name, but do you really need it?
Venus in your domestic sector suggests that unexpected developments around holiday plans, a relocation or legal issue can disrupt your domestic security. Family dynamics can be tense, but there’s also an opportunity to come clean as you purge a toxic build up of stagnant history and old grudges. Use the unexpected as a way to set new habits. Mercury conjoins Pluto in your sector of routine, and squares Uranus Rx. A medical issue, discussions with co-workers, information on work tasks or obligations can rattle you, but the key is adjusting to the new focus that’s demanded. A new set of facts can provide a more effective solution, as long as you don’t cling to old routines or habits. What you’re learning now is essential, and cannot be denied.
Virgo:
The Sun in your domestic sector squares Jupiter and the North Node in your sign, and the South Node in your relationship sector. A partnership or domestic situation will arrive at a crossroads. Growth beckons. Perhaps you’re considering moving in with a special someone, or making changes to your home/home business. Relocation may also be an option. Should you step forward? Jupiter and the North Node suggest that new developments will probably be in your best interest, but first, you’ll have to clarify the specifics (what the other person wants, what your next step is). You may also need to release old partnership disappointments or fantasies. Whether they were hopeful or corrosive (and whether you’re single or involved) past illusions can muddle your future path.
Venus in your communication sector can stir up sensitive discussions. Whether you’rerevealing a deep fear/anxiety, or you say something that triggers the other person, more could come out than anticipated. Fortunately, there’s understanding and compassion on tap. Even the most uncomfortable discussions can lead to healing. Mercury conjoinsPluto in your sector of self-expression and squares Uranus Rx, continuing to push on that sore point as you assert your wants and needs. There is a personal or romantic goal that you’ve had your eye on, but know that someone else may not be in total agreement about how you’re approaching it. Also, watch for unexpected news about children/pregnancy. Shared finances (debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances) or physical/emotional intimacy can be high tension areas.
Libra:
The Sun in your communication sector squares Jupiter and the Nodes, presenting a key message/messenger, meeting or piece of information that pushes you to look beyond your daily routine. It may be time to explore what has true meaning for you, or to make the shift from sacrifice to healing. A health or work issue may reach the point where you need to let go or try a different approach. The key is tuning into what has meaning for you, rather than just going through the motions and allowing your energy to be drained.
Venus in your sector of personal resources suggests an unexpected partnership development may rattle you. A surprise attraction, separation or revelation can disrupt your security, even as it pushes you to access an area of healing potential. Yes, as jagged as this feels, there’s a solution/release. The way to boost your self-esteem may involve giving something up that you thought you wanted. Mercury/Pluto in your domestic sector squares Uranus Rx, triggering intense discussions with family or a partner. The unexpected partnership issue may disrupt your holiday plans. You may be alerted to deeper and more urgent dynamics happening at home. It’s definitely time to stop glossing over the real issue. Issues around relocation, home repairs, parents or home finances may also be emphasized.
Scorpio:
The Sun in your sector of personal resources squares Jupiter and the Nodes, suggesting a financial or emotional opportunity may be in front of you. But it’s how you go about manifesting it that counts. This could be launch time for a creative or romantic potential; time to take it public and show others what you’ve been working on. It may also be time to stop dreaming about what you want/might do, and start connecting with others.
Venus in your sign hits the accelerator with a surprising offer or change in your routine that may not be entirely welcome. Health wise, it can be a high stress time as you scramble to find a regime that keeps you feeling sane. Even if something that you were hoping for does not work out, you can find strength and compassion through honest expression of the issue. What you first thought was a flaw or wound can actually boost your appeal, as others are drawn to your power and empathy. Mercury/Pluto in your communication sector squares Uranus Rx, suggesting that conversations and all communications will be a bit jagged, as attempts to assert opinions in an all or nothing manner trigger abrupt reactions. A medical or work issue may take an unexpected turn, and new developments could challenge what you thought was right. Too, the unexpected could reveal some crucial information. Sibling discussions could be especially tense.
Sagittarius:
The Sun in your sign squares Jupiter and the Nodes. You’re poised on the brink of opportunity, and the future (especially career) looks good. So why aren’t you moving? Something from the past (a habit, addiction, pattern of helplessness) is preventing you from seeing things clearly. It may feel easier to avoid looking at exactly what you need to do, and that approach of closing your eyes and hoping for the best may have worked in the past. But now it’s undermining you.
Venus in your hidden sector suggests a gift disguised as a disruption. That background hope/attraction/potential that you’ve been nurturing may be exposed to the light, and you’ll see it for what it really is. Part of this is rooted in past/family patterns, and that’s where you’ll find solace as you actively release what no longer serves you. Mercury/Pluto in your sector of personal resources squares Uranus Rx, bringing disruptive financial news/information that also jolts you out of your complacency. The urgency you sense means the clock is ticking; it’s not enough to just say you’re going to overhaul your spending/saving/earning habits, you have to translate those words into a major transformation. While you’re at it, know that this will also have a significant impact on your self-esteem, while redefining what makes you feel worthy.
Capricorn:
The Sun in your hidden sector squares Jupiter and the Nodes, hinting at a background potential, secret or unacknowledged issue. What you can’t see is what you should be paying full attention to, because it’s your prompt to look further, explore or expand on a conversation/idea. This could be an idea whose time has come. Long distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are potential areas to branch out into, and the theme is taking what’s in the shadows and bringing it out into the open.
Venus in your social sector can bring a surprise or two involving friends, groups or a public event. An uncomfortable social incident can be soothed with empathetic discussions, or you could try listening to what the other person has to say. Mercury/Pluto in your sign square Uranus Rx in your domestic sector, suggesting tense or disruptive family conversations. You may be aiming for one thing, but a domestic partner/family member could have a totally different idea. Too, your extreme focus on a particular outcome could be disrupted with a surprising reveal. The best way to handle this is stay open to whatever surprises come out. While you have significant power and force of will on your side, steamrolling others with your “my way or the highway” rules will only make the disruptions more severe.
Aquarius
The Sun in your social sector squares Jupiter and the Nodes. A friend, acquaintance, public encounter or group event will be your cue to develop a financial or emotional scenario. You’ve done well in matters of survival, but now it’s about more than just surviving. You can go a step deeper, which may involve getting closer to someone, or doing more with your existing finances. There are opportunities in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. Whether this means paying off a loan, investing your money, seeking financial advice, or opening yourself up to the possibility of not being alone, it’s time to expand your understanding of what makes you feel secure.
Venus in your career sector can trigger some disruptive contacts or discussions with management. Complete honesty may net unexpected results, or you could be presented with an exciting but challenging opportunity. Overall, there looks to be good potential for you; the level of discomfort can actually push you past a security fear.
Mercury/Pluto in your hidden sector squares Uranus Rx, suggesting that the unexpected offer/comment/discovery will hit you on a deeper level. It could challenge a private notion that you’ve been clinging to, or reveal something that’s been simmering for a while. Too, you may say what you’ve really been thinking, which ends up saying more than anyone anticipated. All conversations will have added depth and impact, so don’t take them lightly.
Pisces:
The Sun in your career sector squares Jupiter/the North Node in your partnership sector, and the South Node in your sign. This influence is about taking your dream, personal goal or public identity a step further. A career opportunity or idea about your future is nudging you, and it’s time to pay attention. There may be a potential new relationship (business or romantic) or a chance to develop the way you’ve been relating to others. The specifics matter, even as you’re presented with a ton of new information/feedback to sort through.
Venus in your opportunities sector suggests some disruptions to travel plans, or a surprising development that sets you on a whole new track (perhaps romantically). But Venus’ trine to Chiron in your sign promises a helpful way forward, as long as you’re authentic about what you’re really looking for. It’s ok to just put it out there. Mercury/Pluto in your social sector square Uranus Rx, stirring up tense conversations with friends/groups. There may be a very public declaration or revelation that yanks the rug out. Or, your adamant words may surprise everyone (including yourself).
