Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 1-7

Sunday (New Moon), Monday: the Moon is in Sagittarius
If you feel like you are in a rut, in a routine that simply needs to change or you are going to go nuts, then start this new month – during this new Moon – by shrugging off “stuff” that is no longer related to who you really are. Plan to be more in touch with who you authentically are by the beginning of the upcoming year.

Tuesday, Wednesday: the Moon is in Capricorn
Mars (action) is in Cancer, across the zodiac wheel from the Moon in Capricorn. Venus (special relationships) is concluding a transit through Capricorn (conjunct the Moon). So there is a strong interest in personal feelings and activities during the middle part of this week. Don’t be surprised if someone challenges you, but not in a very bad way, just with some constructive criticism.

Thursday, Friday: the Moon is in Aquarius
The planet Pluto is now in Aquarius (see planet list below). The outer planets – Uranus, Neptune, Pluto – travel way more slowly than the more personal planets and therefore are not always included in horoscopes. However, it’s good to be aware of when one of them changes signs because that places astro energy in a whole different place. Pluto in Aquarius generally indicates significant changes/transformations that affect the bottom line of existence.

Saturday: the Moon is in Pisces
Saturn is moving rather slowly through Pisces. This means that every time it is in an aspect to the Moon, dreams and longings simply feel like they have been put on hold. And, perhaps they have. Patience is required, as hard or as yukky that may seem to be.

When reading this weekly horoscope, check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply forecast information to that area of your life as well. For example, if the Moon is currently in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain – however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place…then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place…have a party! It is also interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.

Note: Weekly horoscope timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on same Eastern time zone).

∗Mercury Retrograde – the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, traffic and mail can become very mixed-up, delayed, or go on the ‘fritz’ during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct (resumes its regular speed) to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after (to resume regular activities) a Mercury retrograde period. (Read More about Mercury Retrograde including *Direct & In-Station)

*Venus Retrograde – just like Mercury, the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Relationships, especially love relationships, will likely be more in the background than upfront. Take it easy with expressed feelings of that nature and agree to address any concerns after Venus goes Direct. (See info about Mercury Direct & In-Station and apply that to Venus when appropriate.)

*Mars Retrograde – just like Mercury, the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Decisions and actions will be more difficult to implement. Avoid confrontations. Be careful about cuts & burns. (See info about Mercury Direct & In-Station and apply that to Mars when appropriate.)

**Total Lunar Eclipse – when the Moon appears to be completely covered.
**Partial Lunar Eclipse – the Full Moon is not completely covered.
**Lunar Eclipse/A – appulse, a penumbral eclipse, the Moon enters only the penumbral of the earth. (penumbral = shadowy, partial shadow, marginal area)
