  • Date: December 19 @4:42 am (ET) @1:42 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: December 21 @9:44 am (ET) @6:44 am (PT) to moon into Leo later in the afternoon.

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.

  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface).
  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn



NOTES: 

depositphotos_156247980-stock-illustration-venus-planets-and-stars-of[1]Venus turns retrograde December 19 @ 5:36 am(ET) @ 2:36 am(PT)

in the sign of Capricorn. capricorn-759379_960_720[1]

  • 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).

Zodiac Girl Vector Sign.

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.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: December 1 @6:55 am (ET) @3:55 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-off-Course: December 2 @9:22 pm (PT) December 3 @ 12:22 am (ET) to moon into Sagittarius early morning December 3 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Scorpio is very intense and one of the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature. 
  • Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :) 
  • Some of us may be highly creative while this influence is about, while others may get connected to their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s… take care who you share your “secrets” with. 
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Taurus
    • Moon in the 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon, the Sun or Plut0

NOTES: Neptune Turns Direct

Astrology Dice with zodiac symbol of Pisces and its ruling planet Neptune

  • Neptune, the planet of romance, nostalgia, magic, avoidance and fantasy, turns direct on December 1 @ 8:22 am (ET) @ 5:22 am (PT). 
  • Neptune is our “dreamy” planet, its’ where we escape to especially when life has been particularly challenging. When Neptune goes retrograde as he has been since June 25, our sense of what is real and what isn’t can become cloudy. 
  • As Neptune becomes direct, the veil that has been preventing us from seeing clearly slowly begins to lift… Relationships may be on the agenda of what needs to be improved or “discarded”..
  • Neptune is creative, and now that he has turned direct, creative ideas, projects and plans can begin to flow freely. 
  • Under the retrograde motion of Neptune, it’s possible to become more “connected” with our psychic side. With Neptune direct, we can take what we have learnt over the last 5 months and apply it to todays situations or challenges. 
  • It is hopeful that as Neptune turns direct, the cloud will disperse so one may see the reality happening around them. 
  • Because Neptune is an outer and slower moving planet, his influence is subtle for most of us… However, those with the following chart influences, may feel his influence stronger. “go with your gut instincts” :) 
  • Pisces in Neptune
  • Pisces Sun 
  • Pisces Moon
  • Any aspects to Neptune 
  • Neptune in the 12th house
  • To a lessor effect: Any Virgo chart influences.

The NEW MOON in Scorpio

November 4th 

  • The new moon is traditionally the best time for beginnings… The influences listed above will be stronger under a new moon… especially for those who have Scorpio chart placings… 
  • When the moon renews herself in the sign of Scorpio, it may be wise for us to “be careful what we wish for” … Scorpio, has a connection to the “mysteries of the under world” She is intrigued by it… She will research it and sometimes embrace it… She is ruled by Pluto (old ruler is Mars) and connected to the 8th house. 
  • Scorpio is intense, everything she does she must feel “connected” to… This means our emotions during this new moon will also be intense… Be sure that what you are feeling is real and not enhanced by the Scorpio moon..
  • If you have an idea or project you want to get off of the ground, the better day to begin would be on the 5th when the moon has moved into her first quarter. 

NOTES: 

  • Venus, the planet of love, beauty and money enters into the sign of Capricorn on Friday November 5th @ 6:44 am(ET) @ 3:44 am (PT). Capricorn is the “sensible” sign, interested in business and career and connected the 10th house of public image. We may find ourselves combining diplomacy with our business dealings, and we may be extra careful about our appearance when dealing with the public. Take advantage of this time when it comes to your career or work, you may be more noticed by the boss, promotions could be at your door. If you are looking for work right now, you could do well.. it’s all about charm, and Venus has loads of that share… :) When it comes to our personal relationships, some of us may want a commitment from our other half…
  • Mercury, the planet of communications, technology and transportation, moves into the sign of Scorpio on Friday November 5th. Our communications could get a little more passionate during this time. Need a loan or a Mortgage? this could be a good time to apply for one… Financial dealings with partners, both personal and business could also go well… Discuss what you need to and get things sorted now. Our thinking may delve into the underworld, and some of us may be drawn towards esoteric subjects, let your mind wander and wonder…
