Daily Astrological Forecast, December 1–9, 2024
A great day for retrieving our vision and expanding our horizons, thanks to the New Moon in Sagittarius, today’s pioneering numerology of 1, and aspects that support goals of expansion.
November put us through some intense and perhaps dark processes, and we may still feel like retreating and hiding in our own little world. But today’s influences call us to pull our heads out of the hole, reconnect, and actively move on our visions.
On the doorstep of a trine from charming Venus to revolutionary Uranus, we can imagine freer alternatives in business, finance and relationships. In spite of the excitement though, we need to hold to our own North Star and act boldly on that which resonates with our authentic values and ideals.
Moon’s early square to strict Saturn stresses the more constructive side of this lunar placement, and favors a review of practical strategies. It can generate stressful emotions, yet also strengthen the Sag New Moon’s practical potential. We can use morning to pull our minds out of a slump and get reorganized for progress.
Moon’s opposition to ruler Jupiter at 12:45 pm (3:45 ET), favors emotional connections and touching the world, the public and the angels with our message. This influence is highly motivational and great for media activities or promoting our image, cause, product, or service. The astrological support for connections continues this evening, thanks to Moon’s conjunction to Mercury—though with the messenger planet in retrograde, it’s best to focus on messages and ideas we’ve shared previously.
At 10 degrees of Sagittarius, the Sabian symbol for this lunation says:
A THEATRICAL REPRESENTATION OF A GOLDEN-HAIRED GODDESS OF OPPORTUNITY… Society’s efforts at dramatizing the greatness of what it offers to the ambitious person. Civilization as a process demands the goading of individuals to spend their vital energies in the pursuit of achievements which, while fulfilling the individual’s ambition and greed, nevertheless generate various forms of what we call “progress.” The result is all too often a process of FORCED GROWTH.
Affirmation:
I am not alone in my desire for progress. Evolutionary forces are working to support me and move me into a new and better phase, here and now.
Monday, December 2
Creativity and spirituality flow, strengthening innovative directions in relationships and finance and release situations that don’t resonate with our values.
Moon in adventuresome Sagittarius accents sociability and expansion. Aspects emphasize the cosmic, universal side of this placement, with sweet Venus perfecting a trine to liberator Uranus, and sensitive Moon squaring mystical Neptune. With this combination, we can focus on:
- Spiritual healing or study
- Activism
- Travel
- Research
- Spending time outdoors
- Writing to Congress
- Connecting with those who resonate with and stimulate our ideals
- Prophetic dreaming
- Fueling excitement in love
After 1:09 pm (3:09 ET), Moon enters practical Capricorn, changing the combination to support to:
- High finance
- Asking for a promotion
- Decluttering and organizing with an eye on new directions
But, look out for a tendency to be bossy or cold.
Affirmation:
I am one with universal good that appears in my life as true people and opportunities, here and now.
Tuesday, December 3
A great day for work, organizing and practical progress. Afternoon is good for people connections.
Moon in practical Capricorn awakens the inner executive: we can take the reins, exert our leadership, and make concrete, lasting progress.
At 12:30 pm (3:30 ET), Moon sextiles Saturn the builder, a highly constructive aspect. We can reach out to a teacher, a boss, an elder, a client or someone in a position of authority, and move towards long-range results. This wonderful sextile is followed by Moon’s connection to expansive Jupiter, facilitating emotional connections with individuals, with angels and with our public—whether that be family, friends, social media followers, students, etc.
In the wee hours, Mercury the messenger opposes Jupiter, expanding the reach of communications, fueling faith, and precipitating contacts with angels and spirit guides.
Affirmation:
I release everything and everyone, and the best good continues to flow for me, here and now.
Wednesday, December 4
Dedicated, constructive action brings lasting results. Connections can be expansive. Creativity, spirituality, and romance flow.
Worker Saturn can come on strong today, in a square with Sun and as ruler of Moon in Capricorn and today’s numerology of 4. We may pressure ourselves this morning, but we can also be productive creatively and take steps to limit distraction.
However, not not all is demanding. Mercury the messenger opposes his elder brother, Jupiter the broadcaster, offering an opportunity to promote, sell, convince, and take our message to a new level.
This afternoon drips with love. With a sextile from Venus to Neptune, planets of personal and spiritual kindness, magical doors can open in relationships, romance, even finance. Knock on them! We can beautify our creative work, and contribute to a compassionate or spiritual cause or endeavor, particularly something involving women.
We should use these great vibrations before 3:34 pm (6:34 pm ET), when Moon goes VOC until 8:21 pm (11:21 pm ET), awakening deep emotions as she joins Pluto, newly into Aquarius. Now we may wish to dive into our feelings, do shadow work, make an important decision, release a situation that no longer resonates, research a change of residence, or act boldly on a new direction.
Affirmation:
I visualize and invoke the sacred elephant spirits to put their earth-shaking force behind my actions, here and now.
Thursday, December 5
A day for freedom, with morning favoring independent activities such as decluttering, armchair activism or creative work, and afternoon for connections with others.
This morning, Moon in rebellious Aquarius opposes bold Mars, bringing out Luna’s most daring side. Moon-Mars can make for hurt feelings, so it will be more effective to focus on independent activities: break out of a rut, try something different, engage in armchair activism, go on a walk and pick up garbage, set a limit, close a cycle, quit a job. We can also go over our datebook and eliminate trivial or stale engagements. This rebellious influence can stir the coals of discontent around Trump’s presidential win.
Nighttime is better for people connections, as Sun in extroverted Sag joins Mercury the messenger. We can teach, study, promote, campaign, sell, exchange inspiring words.
Two late sextiles, one from Moon to Mercury and the other, Moon-to-Sun, are great for creative writing, people connections, activism, study, and research of something relating to beliefs, foreign lands or higher education.
Invocation:
I invite the angels of freedom to expand their reach through me, in me and around me, here and now.
Friday, December 6
We’re feeling extroverted and can make good connections, which we can use to fight for freedom and work on long-term goals.
Today’s numerology of 6 facilitates abundance and provides a shield of protection. This morning, Moon’s trine to Jupiter brings also brings expansion—through feelings, communications, and connections. Empathy exerts a magnetic effect on others.
Mercury the messenger is squaring tough Saturn, bringing a serious tone to our communications. If faced with an involuntary pause, we can use it to review thoughts, plans, papers, and words with an eye to lasting results.
Mars the warrior turns retrograde. In orb of an opposition to intense Pluto, he reconnects us with ongoing concerns related to leadership, goals, competition, and lines of action. With Pluto in Aquarius, this can spark a fight for freedom, reengage us with recent challenges, and reignite our fervor as it moves us out of our comfort zone.
Idealism burns bright, and we can also make practical headway and constructive connections for finance and expansion. Reach out strategically and use these energies before 4:01 pm (7:01 ET), when Moon goes VOC.
Late tonight, Venus shifts from grounded Capricorn to independent Aquarius, preparing us for a winter of connection with humanity and with spiritual family.
Affirmation:
I am a child of Source, and this awareness connects me with my spiritual brethren who appear here and now.
Saturday, December 7
We feel compelled to deepen, transform and empower our love nature and self-esteem. Angels, intuition, and spirit guides offer light. Communications are luminous.
Strong influences of Jupiter and Neptune converge to awaken magical vibrations and fuel contacts with angels and spirit guides. Sun opposes Jupiter (in loquacious Gemini): we can share our light in a large way.
At 1:39 am (4:39 ET), Moon enters mystical Pisces, fueling sensitivity and creative thinking. This influence is strengthened by today’s station direct of Moon’s ruler, Neptune. Since early July, there’s been an inward expansion of intuitive processes, lessons from dreams, and spiritual understanding. Now, with Neptune direct, these gifts emerge, shining new light on underlying divine patterns.
Another deep and major transit is Venus’ conjunction with transformational Pluto. Our passion is renewed in love, values, healing, and self-worth. We want to shed worn-out appearances and ways of relating. We can research and/or fuel innovative pathways for abundance and relationship.Pluto can bring up shadows, so this isn’t the weekend for an intimate date with a new flame or a visit with a toxic ex. Rather, we will be well served by focusing on research and acting on something important in finances, for self-esteem, and with/on behalf of the female gender. Not that there may not be passion, but Aquarius gives it a freer, more idealistic bent.
Today’s numerology of 7 accents cognitive activities, spotlighting mental, verbal. and intuitive activities.
Affirmation:
I give thanks for my intelligence and I heed my intuition, here and now.
Sunday, December 8
We can get a new level of results in spirituality, success, finance and something related to our path of power.
Today’s Moon in mystical Pisces spotlights spirituality, intuition, dreamwork, music, visualization, and magic. Today’s numerology of 8 brings added power to materialize a dream we’ve been working on.
This morning offers a special space to reconnect with our intentions, when at 7:27 am (10:27 ET), Moon reaches her Second Quarter. We might start the day by making a date with our higher self, reviewing our progress since last week’s New Moon, listening within, and writing down what comes up.
Tonight, a sextile from Moon to Uranus, planet of breakthroughs, opens a door of opportunity for our own unique pathway—in relationships, with groups, for activism, or in finance.
At 18 Pisces, the Sabian symbol for today’s lunation is:
IN A GIGANTIC TENT, VILLAGERS WITNESS A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE… The collective appeal of a well-staged and exciting display of skill and/or oratory… the use of personal achievement and conviction to bring a crowd to a state of enthusiasm… The implication of the symbol, whenever it is found operating, is that the time has come for the individual to dare to present himself and his works to his community for applause, or for the purpose of attracting a following. What is suggested is PUBLIC SELF-DRAMATIZATION.
Affirmation:
I invite the Christ Mind to prosper through me, here and now.
Monday, December 9
At 5:38 am (8:38 ET), Moon leaves the cool, mysterious waters of Pisces and steps onto the hot coals of Aries, where she pushes us hurriedly along to avoid getting our feet burned.
Connections smolder, as Moon sextiles intense Pluto and charming Venus, facilitating powerful, sexy, transformative encounters that may even seem hypnotic.
Reach out to others who can give you their best, or to whom you can give your best, as today’s connections can be of lasting influence.
Areas that will repayour focus today:
- Sales
- Social change
- Healing
- Lust
- Therapy
- Finance
- Activism
- Success
It’s probably best to make connections before 3:38 pm (6:38 ET), when Moon trines ruler Mars, and soon thereafter, Mercury. These fuel our courage, but diplomacy wanes, and a brusque encounter can easily lead to hurt feelings.
What we can do is defend a cause at a distance, through sharing an online petition, making a donation, or writing to Congress. We can also review and write down our goals, or a negotiation or sales strategy. On a more active level, we might wash the car, declutter the garage, clean the oven, or enjoy an action film or NBA game. Save in-person arguments, “having it out,” and direct confrontation for another day.
Affirmation:
The success power of the universe moves me and supports to finish what I’ve started, here and now.
