Eclipse Recovery

Congrats, you made it through the last eclipse season of the year!

How are you feeling? What got cleared out, turned over, or pushed through? Where was there an influx of something unexpected?

As we settle down to integrate any surprises that transpired over the past two weeks, we’re also looking through what’s left of the tunnel that’s been 2021.

These next few weeks are great for reflecting and visioning. As Mars finishes up his last stretch at home in Scorpio, this time is great for finishing up any projects you’ve been putting off, and getting things done while the momentum for doing so is strong. Mars will enter Sagittarius over the next two weeks, and we might become less interested in being productive and more in galloping towards the next shiny promising thing.

Holiday festivities are in the air, and we’re well in the shadow of Venus’s upcoming retrograde in Capricorn. Notice any relational themes beginning to surface, as they’ll likely be revisited this winter.

Here’s what the next two weeks have in store:

Monday, December 6th

Mars in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn. Today packs a punch in a much needed way. It can be great for powering through a project, confronting something you’ve been avoiding, and generally making any kind of impactful moves. You might find yourself feeling empowered enough to take a risk or put yourself out there in a bold way. If there’s been a project or task you’ve been putting off or dreading, today is a great day to face it and get into the grimy details. It will probably be less excruciating than you’ve been building it up to be.

Tuesday, December 7th

Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Not a smooth day for logistics. Try to give yourself as much time to be dreamy and creative as possible today. Because anything concrete and detail-oriented is sure to dissolve or get distorted in Neptune’s funhouse mirror. If you have writing or editing projects, today is not the best weather for getting them done effectively. It’s best to take frequent breaks, naps, or journal about the visions you’re seeing through the fog.

Wednesday, December 8th

Mars in Scorpio squares Jupiter in Aquarius. Today might bring some tension between our actions and our awareness of their consequences. With Mars overcoming this square, we might feel energized to do something, to create a path of potential to meet some vision we’ve been forming in our minds. Actions we take today can feel especially pronounced, or charged with a deeper meaning, purpose, or principle.

Saturday, December 11th

Venus in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury in Sagittarius sextiles Jupiter in Aquarius. Today is bound to be intriguing. As Venus saddles up to Pluto, our encounters may feel charged with intensity, and desire can manifest as a seductive siren. Our conversations can run wild as we take spontaneous detours and roundabouts while avoiding the practical details. Today we might be encouraged to ditch the map and opt for the road less travelled for the sake of adventure. Watch for big lofty promises that sound too good to be true and don’t seem to come with accountability.

Sunday, December 12th

Sun in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Today brings another dose of delirium as well as the potential for a breakthrough creative solution. Best to keep your mind open and remember your rose-colored glasses are still on. That said, try to enjoy the ride instead of getting frustrated by the seemingly endless detours. Seize whatever inspiration comes your way today.

Monday, December 13th

Mars enters Sagittarius. Mercury enters Capricorn. As Mars and Mercury change signs on the same day the vibe suddenly changes. Mars will have us jumping out of our seats eager to pursue the next horizon, and Mercury will have our minds scanning for what’s essential to keep and what can be discarded. Wherever you have Sagittarius in your chart will get a burst of energy, and wherever you have Capricorn will get busier and more heady.

Wednesday, December 15th

Mars in Sagittarius conjoins the south node and opposes the north node in Gemini. Today you might find yourself feeling a bit compulsive to do the thing that’s familiar yet you know won’t get you where you’re trying to go. Stretching towards what feels newer and less comfortable is well, less comfortable but only until we get used to it. Remember that every move becomes habitual with practice. The same applies for changing patterns of behavior.

Saturday, December 18th

Full moon in Gemini. Mercury in Capricorn squares retrograde Chiron in Aries. Today’s full moon might feel a little tender. It might bring up memories or trigger our primal wounds of not-being or not belonging as we are. If you find yourself feeling stuck in your head repeating the same sad stories you know aren’t actually true—use this as an opportunity to break the pattern and get into your body. Either through movement, or with gentle arm and leg sweeps, remind yourself that you’re no longer bound to these histories. Try pushing them away (literally with your arms), and see what changes with that kind of somatic practice.

And that’s a wrap! These next two weeks should feel a bit lighter and more gentle than whatever eclipse season dropped on us. Hope you feel the relief!

As much as I try to keep these forecasts relevant, it’s likely you may not experience these transits in the same way I write about them. This is because you have your own chart that’s being uniquely aspected all of the time.

As we make our way through the last stretch of 2021, now is a great time to gain some retrospective on what you’ve experienced and learned. An astrology reading might be one of the best tools for this kind of reflection. Kind of like your cosmic Spotify wrapped.

I still have a few spots left for readings this December. Together, we’ll locate where you are after all the things this year, translate what’s been at play in the sky, and allocate resources for you to move into your next year with clarity while staying firmly rooted in your power.
