The Astrology of the Second Half of December

A depiction of Mars By Sanju (1810)

On the 15th, we start the week with a clarifying, stabilizing energy with our first inner planet entering Capricorn for this season, Mars in Capricorn. Work on all the ideas you’ve had in the back of your head, but don’t be hasty. Genuine authenticity can take you far. Don’t forget you’re the king.

From the 16th to the 18th, be steady in your confidence and take care of your business on all fronts. Let your skills express themselves. On the 18th in particular, dabble in healing and Venusian activities.

The New Moon in Sagittarius, the last New Moon of the year, will be on the 19th. It is centered around changes, joys/disappointments, and advancement. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate these topics. Grounding meditations are an aid. You are wise, now truly act like it! Also, happy birthday, Capricorns! The Sun goes into Capricorn on the 21st. May you have a happy, healthy, and glorious new year of your life. Don’t forget to water your roots.

On the 22nd and 23rd, we start the week with new ideas, experiences, and a rebirth of structures. Look out for amusement within the ordinary.

Venus goes into Capricorn on the 24th. Let yourself romanticize the mundane so hard it morphs into something totally different, and you realize it wasn’t so mundane after all. Take up a challenge related to your craft.

The 25th to the 27th have a cozy aura, just beware of emotional hang-ups and dying on a hill that was never that serious to you in the first place. Find tranquility somewhere.

The 28th to the 30th has a retrospective/proactive energy. It is only natural to want to reflect and plan during this time. Be gentle with yourself about the things that didn’t go so well this year and nurture yourself as you dream for next year. Who have you been this entire time, and how have you grown from the start? Where do you want to start anew?

On the 31st, New Year’s Eve, we have our last (exact) aspect of the year. A trine from the Moon in Gemini to Pluto in Aquarius at 11:34 PM CST. This is a harmonious aspect, and I believe that this signifies that despite this year being the biggest whirlwind, we have the power as a society to grow and persevere beyond what we have been given. Thank you for reading, and may this next year be full of blessings for you ♡
