December Updates !!!!! Astrologically, the last solar and lunar eclipses surfaced things from our pasts needing to be healed. Eclipses bring out things we couldn’t see or didn't know. They bring past secrets out of the shadows. These are not always the things we want to see, but they are the things we need to know to heal. It’s through the healing process that we reach our inner selves, which connects us to the divinity within. Looking ahead, Mars is currently in retrograde in Taurus until January 12, 2023. Retrograde planets allow us to reflect, review, reassess, and reaffirm who we are. Mars is the planet that deals with energy, passion, anger, weapons, and even war. In this retrograde process, Mars will dig deep to uncover any past unresolved issues, particularly those concerning angry feelings. The Mars retrograde will also surface mass hostility concerning injustices worldwide This process is about deep healing concerning our pasts, which will clear the way for a better future in our lives, society, and world. While Mars is retrograding in the sign of Taurus, it is crossing over the stars in the Pleiades, which are called the “seven weeping sisters.” In the myth, the seven weeping sisters were falsely accused of betrayal, which is why this very treacherous part of the Zodiac deals with betrayal. Remember, between now and March 12, things will not appear as they truly are. During this process, Mars will uncover many hidden truths, surfacing corruption, deceit, and lies. This is not a time to jump to conclusions; it is a time to seek the truth without opinions or judgment. These truths will set us free. Currently, and until December 5, Venus is in Scorpio and Mars is in Taurus. Since they are in each other’s ruling sign (Mars rules Scorpio and Venus rules Taurus), both planets will be empowered for this duration. This will bring balance and healing, especially around personal relationships. Venus was involved with the solar and lunar eclipses and combust the Sun in November, all of which caused great difficulty in relationships. Now that Venus is in Scorpio, healing will give us the ability to relate to others again. December 4, before entering Sagittarius, Venus will be 29 degrees of Scorpio. This is Gandanta, representing out-of-control behaviors worldwide. December 5, Venus, and Mercury will be transiting together in the sign of Sagittarius, the sign ruled by Jupiter -- indicating issues concerning the law, government, righteousness, and justice will be the focus. On December 7, the full moon will be extremely eventful, as the Moon sits exactly conjunct Mars at 21 degrees of Taurus, exactly aspecting the Sun at 21 degrees of Scorpio. The Moon represents the masses or the public, but conjunct retrograde Mars brings out any suppressed anger about war, violence, and hostility. The Sun, aspected by Mars, brings up matters from the past that have not been resolved. This can result in some explosive events, such as protests or riots. The Sun can represent leadership around the world who may experience many attacks upon their lives or political positions.Saturn is the planet that pertains to government as well as the sign of Capricorn. From now until January 17, as Saturn finishes out its transit in Capricorn, many of the old government positions will fade away. This will finalize an ending of the old and give way to a new world as Saturn transits into Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign that pertains to humanity. The old, outdated conditions and rules will begin to be eliminated over the next two years while Saturn transits through Aquarius. December 14, the Sun will be at 29 degrees of Scorpio. This is Gandanta, which represents the realization that a massive change is essential to bring people together. As the Sun transits into Sagittarius on December 15, many will speak of the need to unite and heal our differences. December 30, massive closure will disrupt with anger in hostility. At this time, Mars will quincunx the Sun. Mars will be stationing around 15 degrees from Taurus, which is opposed to the fixed star Antares, the star of war. This will produce anger towards leaders and governments around the world. The fighting is not over till Mars begins moving directly on January 12.
