Weekly Astro Forecast for December 25 – December 31:
The third quarter phase of the Moon occurred on December 21 at 1:55AM in the zodiac sign of Virgo and this energy sets the stage through December 28. This Moon phase heralds the moment to advance from and release the ties that bind us to the past. After reflecting on your accomplishments, you must accept that you have done everything that was possible for you. Now is the time to heal and revitalize and to wisely plan your next move.
Sunday, December 25. Christmas Day (Merry Christmas). The planets help you enjoy the holiday season and you’re going to feel more friendly and want to embrace the day with your family and renew old ties. The Scorpio V.O.C. Moon brings a silent stinger, but you need to consider that the silent and secretive Moon might work to your benefit and help you keep certain feelings close to your chest.
The Transits for Sunday
Saturn (the taskmaster) Trines Uranus Rx (the awakener) at 00:20AM UTC Time. Today is a day when you will be enjoying the holiday season after all the hard work you did to get ready for the day!
The stars like you today and you won’t feel challenged – just don’t take something for granted!
The third quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 7:21AM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Scorpio. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Sometimes the void-of-course phase makes you feel like you got out on the wrong side of your bed — you feel irritable or in a bad mood because you stepped into a crisis-in-action before you’ve had your first cup of coffee or you just start off with the wrong foot forward!
Venus (wants, desires and needs) Trines Jupiter at 01:22PM UTC Time. You’re going to feel more friendly and open and want to socialize with others, open your heart and express your feelings, but it’s not a good idea to give all your secrets away until you are sure about other’s intentions.
The stars like you today and you won’t feel challenged – just don’t take something for granted!
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Sextiles Uranus Rx (the awakener) at 04:35PM UTC Time. Today is the day of social gatherings and the time when you’re ready to enjoy the day and leave your fears and nonsense behind you. Uranus wants you to take a risk, and Venus wants you to embrace the day and commit to your family and close friends, or commit to someone you love.
The planets like each other and cooperate and inspire each other, bringing you into a new creative opportunity to take for a spin.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Sextiles Saturn (the taskmaster) at 06:32PM UTC Time. Venus wants you to renew old ties and existing friendships, but Saturn wants you to keep your feeling close to your chest until you get the green light.
The planets like each other and cooperate and inspire each other, bringing you into a new creative opportunity to take for a spin.
Monday, December 26. Today you might feel more optimistic and ready to get the ball rolling and take a risk, but you might feel overconfident and leap into something blindly if you are not careful. If you leap blindly, you might need to overcome an obstacle, or overcome something you did not expect, so think carefully before you take the leap of faith today.
The Transits for Monday
The third quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius at 3:18AM UTC Time.

Jupiter makes you think big and Uranus makes you want to run off and do what you want to do, but the opposition makes you take care of what you need to do, or get rid of the obstacles that are in your way. You might not get to do what you really want to do today.
The planets don’t like each other and you’ll feel torn or divided by circumstances and experience an inner struggle that needs to be resolved before you can move forwards.

The Transits for Wednesday
The third quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 11:44AM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Sometimes the void-of-course phase makes you feel like you got out on the wrong side of your bed — you feel irritable or in a bad mood because you stepped into a crisis-in-action before you’ve had your first cup of coffee or you just start off with the wrong foot forward!
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Semisquares Venus (wants, needs and desires) at 04:08AM UTC Time. Your mind might be in the wandering mode today, and you might have a hard time communicating, or you might have a hard time disciplining yourself to do what needs to be done.

Saturn (restrictions) Squares Chiron (the wounded healer) at 11:06PM UTC Time. You might feel annoyed or dissatisfied with something that is going on in your life. It’s possible that you buried your dissatisfaction a long time ago and now the situation is messing with you again. It might be time to break to break a bad habit, say no to a commitment, or end a relationship that is not right for you so you can release yourself from a restriction.
The planets are experiencing tension and you’ll feel challenged to release what you’ve been holding on to so you’re not restricted, but you might walk into a nasty storm if you’re not careful!
Thursday, December 29. Today, with the New Moon in the zodiac sign of Capricorn, you might have an emotional need to roll up your sleeves and get to work to get things done to stay on course.

Uranus turns direct at 09:28AM UTC Time. When I see Uranus in my transiting birth chart, I always ask, “Why are you here?” Did you know that Uranus brings you into sudden unexpected changes? The Planet Uranus is the revolutionary change agent that comes with an electric lightning bolt and brings you into that ‘AHA’ moment.
The planet Uranus visits you to help you break new ground, and then suddenly, you’re off doing something you never expected. Did you experienced some big changes during the last 6 months? During the last 6 months, I created the Hero Tarot Deck during this retrograde. What big changes did you make?

The Transits for Friday

The planets don’t understand each other and cannot merge. They are in conflict and you might need to make an adjustment because you may force something to happen!
The Ace of Wands – The Journey of a Thought that Manifests Into a Flame
Uranus turns direct at 09:28AM UTC Time. When I see the planet Uranus in my transiting birth chart, I always ask, “Why are you here?” Did you know that Uranus brings you into sudden unexpected changes?
The Planet Uranus is the revolutionary change agent that comes with an electric lightning bolt and brings you into that ‘AHA’ moment of change.
This electric lightning bolt was holding hands with Aries (the element of fire).
Once upon a time you received the “Gift of Fire” and had a sudden flash of inspiration that passed through you like fire and this was the time when a thought manifested into a flame of action.
You are the Hero, the Ace of Wands who is associated with a continuous cycle of change and the seventy-eight passageways of growth that will open up and lead you into new opportunities that are ready to be explored.
The Aces are known as the “Controlling Cards” in my deck and they control your path. They point to the new beginning and where you are headed, but also indicate the birth of an idea that brings you into the “Waxing phase of the Moon” and the time of growth.
The Ace of Wands is associated with a turning point of change: a new opportunity, goal, or something might fall into your lap that you did not expect, something that brings you into a new beginning; or you receive the gift of fire to start a new beginning with determination and power because you want to expand.
When you receive the gift of fire and creativity, a thought manifests into a flame of action. The sleeping volcano of fire has awakened, filling you up with passion and desire that will guide you towards your destiny to start something new that will be very important to you. This could be the birth of a fresh new idea, inspiration, optimism, drive, creativity or initiative.
There is a “Single Wand” which represents the self, and a white hand emerging from the storm clouds suggests the appearance of an idea from a HIDDEN PLACE.
The white hand gives you the gift of fire and creativity that is associated with your passion and desire to reach new goals. The Wand is sprouting new growth in the form of green leaves that suggest a new start and a new direction towards a new dream or venture.
Numerical Number 1: The number 1 is related to the start of a new cycle and the time when a thought manifests into a flame of action. This is the time when you are ready to pull the trigger and start something new to live your dreams.
The Element of Fire: The Ace of Wands is related to the angelic elemental qualities of fire (Archangel Michael).
The elemental qualities of fire are also associated with the combination of the planets Mars in Aries (determination to succeed), Sun in Leo (power to lead) and Jupiter in Sagittarius (expansion, growth and luck).
See you next week!
