Dec 1: It may take us a little time to figure out what we want to do today, so it's best to embrace the day at our own pace.
(Cancer Moon opposes Capricorn Mars and trines Venus in Scorpio, 4:00 - 5:45 am).
Dec 2: As long as you're okay with 'hanging' with your dreams today, you'll enjoy this Sunday.
(Sun opposes Jupiter, exact at 5:45 pm).
Dec 3: We want to be on the move with this Leo Moon. Following a schedule, may not be inviting for us today, so we can slip into Monday morning blues. However, that creative spark makes itself known to us mid afternoon and early evening.

Dec 5-6: Virgo Moon comes up against the big guys, which can indicate fluctuations in focus, energy levels, and our level of interest.
(On Dec 5, Moon opposes Neptune at 5:00 am, so we may need extra time to putter, before going into the day. When the Moon trines Pluto and 7:30 pm, we're in the mood for organizing and getting things out of the way.
On Dec 6, the day begins with a productive influence, a call for action oriented activities. At 2:00 pm, Virgo Moon sextiles Venus in Scorpio, lending itself to quiet, inner focus).
Dec 7: Restlessness toward the end of the day may result in a change of plans, opting for being out and about, instead of settling in to an evening at home.

(Moon conjuncts Saturn in Scorpio at 2:30 am)
Dec 11- 12: With influences leading up to the Sagittarius New Moon on Dec 13th, we're not likely to be thinking much about domesticity and routine -rather about fulfilling our dreams and purpose, contemplating travel, and the bigger picture.
Dec 11: Emotional sensitivity, and daydreaming are our ticket to 'la la' land this morning. If you enjoy the process of connecting with your imagination and exploring the subtle realms, this can be a delightful experience. Not the optimum day for lots of detailed mental work. By late evening, we've likely received insights are are ready to put them into action.

(Uranus trine Mercury and Moon-Pluto conjunction 3:30 am)
Dec 16-18: The backdrop of influences, Sun thru Tues are philosophically and spiritually oriented, bringing our attention to the bigger picture. It's easy to slip into 'dreamtime' and have little interest in pursuing outer activities, so don't be concerned about mis-placing your mojo.
(Sag. Venus squares Neptune in Pisces on Monday at 10:30 am; Mercury opposes Jupiter on Tues at 11:15 am and the Moon conjuncts Neptune and squares Venus in the evening. On Tuesday morning, we do begin the day with a stable, focused influence (Moon trine Saturn) at 7:45 am, however the mutable Pisces Moon goes onto to create a T-square with Jupiter (Gemini) and Mercury (Sagittarius 9:00 am - 1:00 pm)
Dec 19: Fabulous, creative and enthusiastic ideas today, keep the spirit vibrant and happy.
(Uranus trines Sag. Venus)
Dec 20: We're off and running today. These action oriented influences capture our sense of freedom and release the free spirit within us.
(Aries Moon conjuncts Uranus at 8:30 am and trines Venus in Sagittarius at 10:45 am.)
Dec 21: Happy Winter Solstice!
Dec 22: The energy is a little antse, so don't be surprised if you feel the desire to get out of dodge today. If you decide to do some last minute Christmas shopping this evening, know that you can easily go over your budget, and then some!
(Capricorn Moon squares Mars at 5:00 am; Venus in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter in Gemini, exact at 7:45 pm).
Dec 23: A ruffle of unhappy feelings can cross your radar upon waking, but these move right on, like the clouds.
(Taurus Moon opposes Saturn in Scorpio and trine Pluto at 4:00 - 4:30 am).
The Moon is in the mellow sign of Taurus Sat and Sun (Dec 23 & 24), which contributes to relaxation and choosing simplicity and elegance for the festivities.
Dec 25: Merry Christmas! Lots of time to chat and hang out, with this communicative Gemini Moon. Focus is on being open to the views of others and being gracious and in the flow. It's best to have your celebration in the early afternoon, for the energies change in the late afternoon/early evening, creating a need for movement and individual emotional space.
(Gemini Moon sextiles Uranus at 8:45 am and conjuncts Jupiter at 4:15 pm. Sun squares Uranus at 5:30 pm)
Dec 26: Penetrating late afternoon influence can have us thinking about changes we'd like to embark on, as the New Year comes toward us. This combo carries the energies associated with focus and determination, and is felt 3 days either side of when it is exact.
(Saturn in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn).
Dec 27: With the energies beginning to build toward the Full Moon in Cancer on 28th, we may feel subtle emotional ups and downs.
(Moon trines Neptune at 2:00 pm and squares Uranus at 9:30 pm).
Dec 28: Full Moon in Cancer. See Lunar Activity.
Do yourself a favor, and allow yourself ample time for puttering (and processing) this morning, before heading out the door. There's a good 'send off' influence comes into place just at the right time.
(Moon opposes Pluto at 6:30 am, and goes on to trine Saturn at 6:45 am).
Dec 30: The idea today is to find balance. Early morning influences are intense, so we're more likely to use our will to push and force an agenda. How-ever, a breakthrough moment, can clear the air, bringing a more opportune outcome. A stabilizing influence takes hold before mid morning. Keep your eye on an early evening influence, which can bring trigger passive-aggressive behaviors.
(Sun conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn at 5:30 am and Leo Moon opposes Mars in Aquarius at 6:45 am; Moon trines Uranus at 9:00 am, followed by Capricorn Sun sextile Saturn in Scorpio at 9:45 am. Moon squares Saturn at 6:15 pm.)
Dec 31: Great influences on New Year's Eve, usher in a wave of hope and excitement for the New Year.
(Leo Moon trines Venus in Sagittarius at 1:45 pm. Mars (Aquarius) sextiles Uranus (Aries) at 6:30 pm and Mercury (Capricorn sextiles Neptune (Pisces) at 10:45 pm).
Lunar Activity
Dec 13: New Moon 21 deg Sagittarius 12:42 am
This New Moon carries the Sagittarius idealistic outlook, in being ready to embrace the hero's journey, inviting change with courage and conviction and in wonder about the 'magic' being revealed along the way.
Dec 28: Full Moon 7 deg. Cancer 2:21 am
This Full Moon dances to a very different tune than the Sagittarius New Moon, described above. Now, the New Year is right around the corner and some of us may be entertaining doubts, uncertainities, insecurities triggered by this security-oriented Full Moon in Cancer.
By the time the year ends, we will likely swing back, finding ourselves planted somewhere in the middle between the energies of the New Moon in easy going, philosophical Sagittarius, and the energies of the security oriented Full Moon in Cancer.
