Everyday Life / Profession:
This week begins with the Moon in Virgo, which reminds us of work, duties and organizational things, while Mercury advances extremely close to Pluto, and then goes retrograde. It looks as though Mercury does not dare move past Pluto, or as though Pluto would not permit it until Mercury has done its Capricorn homework (discipline, honesty, responsibility). The two have stared deep into each others eyes: it is serious. Christmas time brings us into connection with old family issues (also Mars in Pisces on the Moon’s South Node), which have to be reprocessed gradually, and which appear to rob us of time and energy now. On the 24th and 25th of December the Moon is in Scorpio and lets us feel soul connections. Venus in Aquarius indicates feminine independence, which “the Moon” (whoever feels addressed by that) pushes against it.
Partnership / Love:
The feminine becomes strong because it moves freely in masculine space and finds support (Venus in Aquarius in connection with Jupiter and Uranus). With Mars in Pisces the masculine can become strong by entering feminine space and engaging in familial and ancestral topics (Lunar South Node and Neptune in Pisces). Retrograde Mercury indicates that we should look at our old faces, search for the truth, and recognize the patterns that we fall into again and again.
