My Astrology is based on AEST, remember to adjust this to your timezone
Monday
We will awaken with Mercury stationing direct, allowing communication to flow more smoothly, while yesterday's full moon helped us cleanse, release, and attune to our inner wisdom and higher self. We've cleared our minds from a year of intense mental activity, which could have left us feeling tired.
2024 felt like a hectic period, and approaching its end is liberating.
On Monday morning, the moon is in Cancer, beginning its waning phase, yet the full moon's influence remains strong.
We have become aware of many things; Gemini brought news and revealed multiple aspects and perspectives of a situation, take note.
Our minds have been enlightened, enhancing our ability to understand and expand our thoughts.
Reflect on the projects that have occupied your mind since November 26th (the start of Mercury retrograde) and consider how you can now begin to move forward.
These are also the final days of the year, and we are still experiencing Mars retrograde... so there might still be delays in starting new things, but you can now begin to move your first steps into initiating something or deciding what you would like for 2025.
Mars retrograde is still interacting with Mercury, so our thoughts are empowered, filled with passion, fire, and a drive to act, today is a great day to take advantage of this energy; however, if
the Gemini energy of the full moon might have left your mind somewhat scattered, use this strength to reorganize your thoughts.
It is also crucial to ground ourselves, as Gemini is a mutable air sign with very volatile and electric energy; grounding will bring us back to Mother Earth and shift us from the mind into the body.
Tuesday
It seems that we are still in the process of reorganizing our thoughts, projects, and mental activities, and today feels much like yesterday in that regard.
With the Moon in Cancer forming a trine with Saturn, those in later time zones will feel its influence, emphasizing efforts towards home and family, supporting their aspirations.
Tuesday unfolds smoothly; the mutable energy of Gemini is calming, and we are becoming increasingly aware of our environment, gaining clearer insights.
Our perspective is broadening, and despite the waning Moon, there is a great deal of communication, new connections, and social interactions.
We are occupied with family matters, work, and holiday preparations.
There is a sense that something is developing, and despite any previous challenges, the outcome promises to be rewarding.
Pursuing your aspirations and listening to your soul's mission and true desires can lead you toward achieving your objectives.
Wednesday
Midweek is for the dreamers. We enter the realm of magic and vision,
The sun in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces will lead us on a journey where boundaries blur, making everything possible yet also an illusion.
This energy might prompt us to question our current stance and whether we should embark on this new adventure. Doubts may arise about how and when to proceed.
This situation could unfold in two ways: making a reckless decision with the feeling of having nothing to lose, which could turn out to be a blessing, or applying the brakes and waiting for a clearer mindset.
As an astrologer, in a typical scenario, I would advise waiting, but this time I might suggest moving forward.
The moon supports Neptune in Pisces, symbolizing dreams, home, and family. I wonder how many of us are currently building something greater than ourselves, something for future generations and our loved ones.
This week is also filled with positive aspects, and we are approaching the solstice, which always brings celebration.
In the Southern Hemisphere, we conclude expansion and begin contraction; however, we harvest the garden, enjoy the sun's warmth, and swim in the ocean.
In the Northern Hemisphere, we finish a contraction and start the expansion, moving through the year's shortest day, and starting to look forward to the end of winter.
I think we are approaching the year's end with enough momentum.
The solstice is infused with positivity this year and I think we should start to get ready for the party.
Thursday
The moon is waning in Leo, forming challenging aspects in the morning, yet the energy is building into something very beautiful, and I don't think we will feel the effect of the morning moodiness.
Jupiter in Gemini, which kept us very busy and filled our minds with countless ideas, is currently influenced by two energies:
A square with Saturn in Pisces, which has been a recurring aspect, brings the energy of a brilliant idea that requires significant effort. It feels promising in our minds, yet there are some unclear elements, and we're unsure how to achieve it.
We all understand that the best projects are those with solid foundations, and they may take time to develop.
A trine with Venus this week is simply wonderful and makes me want to sing. If you have placements in Aquarius or Gemini, this could be incredibly fun, flirty, witty, free, social, and highly creative.
However, I believe it will positively impact everyone.
The mutable signs are teaching us a valuable lesson, and we need to pay attention and follow. While it's indeed the right time to communicate, we should listen first.
The cosmos is in harmony, and the full moon led us to discover something new. Now there is liberation, rebellion, connection, and the opportunity to solidify the spiritual work we began this lunar month.
Move forward with your dreams, share them, cultivate Joy
Friday
Everything that started on Wednesday and Thursday is becoming increasingly powerful.
The lead-up to this solstice is truly beautiful, and I believe all witches should be crafting love spells this Friday for the highest good of us all and the protection of the lovers.
I view this as an opportunity to support the LGBTQ community, all families, and all forms of diversity.
The energy is both grand and enchanting.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are experiencing a wave of high energy and positivity.
The moon is waning in Leo and positively aligned with the sun in Sagittarius, celebrating the fire signs and adding an extra boost to the day. The moon is waning, entering the third quarter phase, and still having enough light to enhance this beautiful sky.
Embrace your inner fire.
The only advice I could possibly have is to pace yourself and I wouldn't party too hard too early, as the best is yet to come.
Saturday
Today, the Moon is waning in Virgo, a beautiful earth sign associated with healing and caring for the body. It's an ideal archetype to celebrate the solstice.
Whether it's the summer solstice or the winter solstice depends on which hemisphere you're in, yet the energy, preparation, and commitment to this time of year remain consistent.
We reflect on our emotions and assess the situation through the perspective of the Gregorian calendar year.
As we transition from one season to another, our hearts grow warm, we come together, we celebrate, and we are reminded of the passage of time in a reverent communion with Mother Earth and her gifts.
In some places, snow will arrive on cold, gentle nights, while elsewhere, the hot sun will make us feel alive. Regardless of the conditions, the outcome remains the same: transitioning, evolving, shedding layers, connecting with the earth, dancing with the ground, and acknowledging our unity.
It is a wedding with our Great Mother, it is big and loud as we dance the vibration of our heals on the soil resonates everywhere.
Solstice Ritual:
Be physical: dance, love, feel, let your senses a little wild
Celebrate: music, chants, food, or anything that suits your celebration style, perhaps buy a cake
Ground: be in nature, hug a tree, talk to the birds, practice, presence and gratitude.
Be tired: feel the day, let energy move through, and don't hold it back, release and embrace the exhaustion that will come, rest.
Sunday
What a week it is as we officially enter Capricorn season. Today, the Sun is at 0 degrees in Capricorn.
Capricorn is a fixed Earth sign that thrives on work and achieving goals. I will explore this archetype in greater detail in my report next week for the moment, feel the earthy energy and tune into unwinding from the busy week,
The Moon remains in Virgo, and this Sunday, the earth archetypes come to ground us, guiding us from the sky into the heart of our great mother.
The Moon is moving to a trine with Uranus, and we may genuinely feel the energy shifting today, leading us to a place of profound freedom as we also embrace Gaia, our mother, our home.
Today is ideal for channeling, connecting, healing, and gardening. Allow these activities to naturally unfold, let the surroundings draw you in, and let the elements lead you on a journey back to yourself.
Happy solstice,
Happy Capricorn season
Love
Vanessa
