What does it all mean?
- The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon rules this sign.
- Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now too.
- We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
- Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do, and we can find joy in focusing on our home comfort and safety.
- Cooking may be fun and can have a positive healing effect for some people, so go ahead and try out that new recipe. 🙂
- The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense more easily, or may feel more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised, check your facts before you “accuse”.
- Some folks may come across to others as being needy, while others are happy to be the needed, helping our loved ones feel secure. Caution is advised not to go over board on the needy thing during this moon period. It may be easy to inadvertently push a loved one away from you, when you thought you were just helping them out. “mother don’t smother”😉 ..
- It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old loving’s 🙂 Enjoy time spent with loved ones.
- This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.

NOTES:
Venus turns retrograde December 19 @ 5:36 am(ET) @ 2:36 am(PT)
in the sign of Capricorn.
- Venus is the planet of love, beauty and money…
- Venus rules Libra and Taurus.
- Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.
- Saturn is the planet of discipline, authority, the father figure, boundaries and is resistant to change.
With Venus turning retrograde in such a “disciplined” sign, we could face frustrations, delays and set backs when it comes our financial world. It isn’t wise to push beyond our spending limits during this time. Keeping to a workable budget can be helpful and is suggested, especially as we are in the midst of the “happy season” 🙂 Watch over your finances and resist the urge to buy or spend when you really don’t need to. Spend wisely… have fun… 🙂
In our relationships, we may come up against some tough issues. If possible, remain focused at the center of the issue, don’t allow emotions to expand the problem. Some of us may face “resistance” from our loved ones and others, it’s probably not a good idea to try and force anything right now, instead, finding common ground is advised. With the option of revisiting the situation at a later date.
2) Chrion Turns Direct on December 19 2021 @ 11:33 am (ET) @ 8:33 am (PT).
Chiron is known as the “wounded healer” and as he turns direct in the fiery sign of Aries, it is hopeful that healings (in all shapes and sizes), may begin, and that those that have been suspended, can move forward again. Aries is action orientated, he doesn’t mess around, he is not afraid to “tread” where others hesitate. He is ready, willing and able to assist Chiron, however, we must be aware of the wound in order to help it heal.
The Moon and Astrology
HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES…
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. 🙂
The Moon Void-of-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon…
Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
- Cancer
- Taurus
- Sagittarius
- Pisces…
Opportunity Periods
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as Opportunity Periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. thanks to Paula Belluomini astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.
