Weekly Astro Forecast for December 3 – December 9:
Your Weekly Astro Forecast: This week Mercury (how the mind works) turns retrograde on December 3, the day of a Full Moon and the timing of change when something might come to a head.
Chiron (the wounded healer) turns direct on December 5, after being in retrograde motion since June 30. If you looked within and did the work you needed to do during the retrograde period, you will no longer feel like you are wounded and fumbling around in an illusion.
Mars (the troublemaker) enters the zodiac sign of Scorpio (transformation and power) on December 8, and you begin a new cycle of change. Use this power wisely.
Sunday, December 3. 
Jupiter (expansion) Trines Neptune (the spiritual awakener) at 02:19 AM UTC. Your intuition might feel stirred up regarding a new creative idea, or you might decide to make a personal sacrifice to help someone out of a bind, or you might act on your impulses today and try something different and make new connections.
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) turns retrograde at 02:19 AM UTC. This retrograde period starts on December 3 and ends on December 22. With the Full Moon at the start of this retrograde and the Solstice at the end of the retrograde, you will get the help you need to tie up loose ends before the year closes. This retrograde makes you look back to the past to see what you have accomplished but also helps you release what is not working, or what needs to change.
Retrograde motion also brings out unexpected snafus with communication and travel. During this period, there is much gossip, unexpected messages, many glitches related to the radio, phone, computer and internet, as well as local transportation glitches with cars, buses, planes and trains. Writer’s block occurs, with your mind feeling clouded and stuck, and unusual weather patterns and floods will cause delays with communication and transportation.
The Sun (what you want) Squares Neptune (the spiritual awakener) at 11:43 AM UTC. You might have a difficult time knowing where you stand with others, or understanding where you are headed today, or understanding what you really want or what you do not want. Confusion is front and center, so try not to make any big decisions today and let this confusion fade away.
There will be a Full Moon in the zodiac sign of Gemini at 3:46 PM UTC. This energy sets the stage through December 9. Since the energies of the Full Moon will only decrease, weaken, and wane after this point, the Full Moon is the time to either celebrate or to abandon the path that has failed to serve you. The seed you planted during the New Moon phase has grown and blossomed or remained stunted and miserly.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Semisquares Pluto (power and transformation) at 04:11 PM UTC. Relationships (personal or professional) might be front and center today. This aspect brings out tension, suspicion, jealousy, ulterior motives, hidden agendas, possessiveness and manipulation. This is not the day to rock the boat because you might lose someone close to you, or you might make an enemy. Best advice is to avoid any kind of power plays today or make any big decisions.
Mars (the troublemaker) Sesquisquares Neptune (the spiritual awakener) at 07:22 PM UTC. You might feel scattered today, disorganized, passive and aggressive, impulsive, careless, or you might feel like the escape artist on a mission headed off into some fantasy of yours. This energy can take you by surprise and you might feel like a hamster running in circles going nowhere, wasting your energy because you cannot see where you are headed or where you want to go.
Monday, December 4. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 7:12 PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Gemini. With the Moon in Gemini, do not let yourself get into an argument, rather, listen to what others have to say, or start fact checking to get the information you need, that way you will be able to make better decisions and not shoot yourself in the foot.
Meanwhile, the Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Cancer at 8:36 PM UTC. With the Moon in Cancer, you might decide to look inwards, or you might get wrapped up in your feelings, or you might be looking back at the memories of the past, or you might decide to hang out at home in your comfort zone and spend time with family.
Tuesday, December 5. Chiron (the wounded healer) turns direct at 09:46 AM UTC. Chiron is the asteroid that orbits between the planet Saturn (restrictions and lessons learned) and Uranus (the awakener, the planet of the future). It represents the bridge between your past and the future. While Chiron was retrograde you probably found yourself on a mission to heal a deep wound from the past.
But now that Chiron has turned direct, something amazing should be happening if you looked inwards and did the hard work on an inner level. You should feel healed and restored if you rolled up your sleeves and examined your wound and connected with your higher-self.
If you did the inner work, then you opened the gate of awareness, surrendered to the situation and invited the old friend from the past (the wound) to enter your space again. But this time, you were smarter, you listened to your inner voice, the higher-self (the keeper of secrets).
You stopped fooling yourself because you got the memo from your higher-self and read it from start to finish and got the answers you needed to heal yourself. Now you should be ready to leave the broken part of yourself and walk through a new passageway feeling restored!
The old wound from the past cannot come back and haunt you unless you let it back in and get stuck in fumbling around in the illusion again. But you won’t because you will feel the burn of a new self-emerging!
Wednesday, December 6. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 5:55 PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Cancer. With the Moon in Cancer, be careful and do not give all your secrets away or you might end up getting mad at yourself in a few days and asking yourself why you did this.
Meanwhile, the Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Leo at 8:37 PM UTC. With the Moon in Leo, you might feel restless and change your mind, or you might need to adjust your schedule at the last moment and go with the flow because of something unexpected.
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Conjuncts Saturn (hard work) at 12:05 PM UTC. You might feel on the ball today. Your focus might feel amazing because you are able to concentrate and ready to get from point A to point B. To get to point B, you might need your space today because you are working on something important, or you might seal a deal, or make time to talk to someone about a project you are ready to start.
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Sextiles Mars (action) at 03:57 PM UTC. You might make a decision on the spot, or you might feel more upbeat and productive and get things done today.
Mars (action) Sextiles Saturn (hard work and restrictions) at 09:20 PM UTC. You might run into a problem that you need to solve, or you might need to help someone solve a problem, or you might feel frustrated because something or someone is blocking your progress.
Thursday, December 7. Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Semisquares Jupiter (expansion) at 08:05 PM UTC. You might feel like you are experiencing an information overload, or everything seems harder to get done, or you cannot calm the restless energy you are feeling.
Friday, December 8. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 10:40 PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Leo. With the Moon in Leo, you might feel in a funky mood today, or feel like you are not appreciated, or you might be more judgmental and look at who supports you and who does not.
Meanwhile, the Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Virgo at 11:08 PM UTC. With the Moon in Virgo, you might be on a mission to straighten something out, or you might be jumping into the pile of work that needs to get done.
Saturday, December 9. 
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Trines North Node Rx (the future) at 10:57 PM UTC. You might reach out to others today because you need help, or you might decide to help someone out.
Pluto (transformation and power) Inconjuncts North Node Rx (the future) at 10:45 PM UTC. This is a fated aspect and someone might show up in your life today, or you might experience a major turning point with your lifestyle or need to make a big decision.
Mars (the troublemaker) enters the zodiac sign of Scorpio at 08:59 AM UTC and you begin a new cycle of change to pluck out the old weeds and plant a new foundation, or to tear something down and rebuild it again, or to pluck out who or what is disturbing you and you are going to do it with power because you might feel like a warrior on a mission. Just be careful with how you use this energy.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Semisquares Pluto (transformation and power) at 04:40 AM UTC. This transit brings tension, suspicion, hidden agendas, jealousy, passion running hot and cold, possessiveness, manipulation and power plays. Social interactions (professional or personal) might be front and center today. If so, try to stay away from getting into a heated argument or power play because you might experience something you will not like if you do not use this energy wisely.
See you next week.
