Rumi – Why stay in prison when the doors are wide open.
This month is packed full of aspects. One is the Eclipse on the 14th which will conjunct President Trump’s natal lunar eclipse. This is the same date as the Electoral College. This eclipse could just eclipse him out. See my eclipse report here.

Let’s look at what we are finished with, what aspects are ending. First is the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn, (expansion of Corporate and government control). We had that all year. We are also finished with Mercury, Mars, and Neptune moving retrograde. We have been stuck and unable to move ahead most of the year. We have clear sailing now to go into 2021.
+++++
The biggie this month is the Jupiter Saturn conjunction at 0 degrees Aquarius on the 21st. Jupiter and Saturn rule our culture, values, economy, politics, and society. Jupiter represents an expansive and imaginative vision, Saturn is structure and discipline. Jupiter and Saturn conjunctions occur every 20+ years. But this is a special conjunction called the Great Mutation because it will start a series of consecutive 20-year conjunctions in air signs that will continue until December 20, 2159. While this is happening, Pluto is still in Capricorn until 2023 deconstructing the old paradigms.
The last 200 years have seen this conjunction occur in earth signs. Earth signs value success in a worldly sense believing that hard work following the rules and obeying laws and saving money is the way to approach life. One’s status during this period was defined by the amount of material wealth one attained, or the influence and power one could accrue in the political or governmental sectors. In Aquarius, success will be based on creativity and intelligence. Knowledge communication and ideals will shape the next two centuries.
Communication will be conducted over the airwaves. New social media platforms will be more popular in Aquarius and there will be new ways of connecting as well. We are now seeing the rise of Parler, an alternative to Twitter, and Pure Social Network, an alternative to Facebook. My favorite new media is Periscope, especially the show called Agenda free TV. The host, Steve Lookner, takes one issue and shows videos of the corporate-owned mainstream media and also alternative media, at the same time he is reading Twitter feeds on the subject. He is also reading comments from viewers and they are commenting back and forth to each other. I like this way of learning about a topic and being able to form my own opinion. I think this is the wave of the future. People may not want to passively watch the mainstream media and have the so-called experts tell them what to think.
Capitalism is the old earth model, and may not survive this era. Something new will come in. Aquarius could bring in the worst kind of Socialism.
+++++
We may see some startling advances in science. Some of the newest work that neuroscientists and mathematicians are doing now imply that our space/time world, our reality, is an illusion and that there are infinite worlds that go beyond space/time. This idea would agree with some of the great spiritual transitions of the world such as Advaita Vedanta (an ancient religion of India) and Buddhism. Quantum theory implies this, but they’re going much further now and proving it mathematically. In this research, we may discover and prove multiple universes.
+++++
Look to the house of your chart that contains Aquarius: Ending and renewal in the areas of life ruled by that house. Has something outlived its time?
It’s up to us to imagine the world we want to come in.
Dates to Watch:
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.
Dec 1 – Mercury enters Sagittarius until December 20. Look for hyperbole and exaggeration and tall tales during this period. Don’t promise more than you can deliver. Don’t brag. Try to be humble. Mercury in Sagittarius is hubris. I’m a Mercury in Gemini person so I love Mercury in Sagittarius, I can swap outrageous stories with the best of them.
December 5 – Venus Trine Neptune at 16 degrees of Scorpio and Pisces. This is a very creative aspect. Especially in poetry, art, and dance. Watch Fred Astaire dance on youtube.
December 9 – Sun Square Neptune at 18 Sagittarius/Pisces. This aspect can be very confusing. You are not thinking clearly. You feel sleepy and thinking is just too hard.
December 11 – Sun Trine Mars at 19 degrees of Sagittarius and Aries. This is like taking an extra cup of coffee. You feel energized. Take advantage of this aspect and try to get something accomplished.
December 13 – Mercury Square Neptune at 18 Sagittarius and Pisces. Neptune loves to sleep and Mercury is your mind. Can you just stay in bed today and daydream? If you do go to work, you may be stumbling over your words and become completely incoherent. You may get lost driving.
December 14 – Solar Eclipse at 23 Sagittarius. Look at the life topics associated with the houses containing Sagittarius. The new story emerging with one pair of eclipses will go thru major developments when the new pair of eclipses come in 6 months later. See the meaning of the houses here.
Mercury trine Mars at 20 degrees of Sagittarius/Aries. Start a new project. This is right after a New Moon, Solar Eclipse, and the energy and brilliance help you to accomplish something great.
December 15 – Venus enters Sagittarius until January 9, 2021. Are you dating someone with Venus in Sagittarius? After 7 years you are probably still waiting for some kind, any kind of commitment.
December 17 – Saturn enters Aquarius until March 8, 2023. We can make the changes promised by Jupiter in Aquarius starting on Dec 19, but we have to have accountability for the changes. Saturn is the taskmaster, so you can make changes but only through hard work. We may want to enforce some brakes to the revolutionary energy around us.
December 19 – Sun conjunct Mercury at 25 Sagittarius. You get some clear ideas about what you want to pursue in the future. Is it ambitious goals or a trip? That depends on the other transits to your natal chart.
Jupiter enters Aquarius until Dec 30, 2021. We think about the future, we become more progressive, politically. We search for more enlightenment, greater discoveries, especially in science and technology. A strong urge to move forward. To have more individualism, freedom equality, and human rights. We become impatient with the old traditional ways of doing things. Protests and rebellions can occur against lockdowns and the wearing of masks.
December 20 – Mercury enters Capricorn until Jan 9, 2021. It's time to get serious and think of what you own, your responsibilities, and how to proceed into 2021 in a practical, down to earth manner.
December 21 – Sun enters Capricorn until January 2021. A major turning point of the year. The Goddess is giving birth to the Sun. Celebrated around the world, especially in indigenous cultures where they use this time to manifest the world they want to see for the next year out of the ethers.
Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 0 degrees of Aquarius. This is a major conjunct because it is happening at 0 degrees a very powerful degree and also on the winter solstice, a turning point in the year. See my comments above for more information.
December 23 – Mars Squares Pluto at 23 Aries/Pluto. Don’t force actions on anyone. Don’t begin anything of importance. Focus on your own work.
December 25 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 6 Capricorn/Taurus. A good holiday aspect. This is a creative, happy aspect. Uranus likes to find new friendships and radical ideas.
December 27 – Sun Trine Uranus at 6 degrees of Capricorn/Taurus. Entertainment and fun. You may be invited to a party. Unexpected visitors may show up.
December 30 – Venus Square Neptune at 19 degrees of Sagittarius and Pisces. Don’t let others take advantage of you. If you try to bend over backward for someone, you might lose your balance and fall.
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:
JUPITER is now in Capricorn until December 20, 2020. This month Jupiter moves from 26 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius. Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the houses in your natal chart that contains Capricorn and Aquarius. Jupiter isn’t very happy in Capricorn because he has to get down to business; become responsible, and build a career. He is happy in Aquarius because Aquarius is about rebelling against the status quo and Jupiter likes to make a lot of noise and be excessive
SATURN will move from 23 Capricorn to 1 degree of Aquarius this month. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 21 to 25 degrees of Capricorn or from 0 to 1 degree of Aquarius, may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Capricorn he is asking about your ambitions, your career, and your work ethic. In Capricorn, he is right at home and wants to build something When he goes into Capricorn, he may cause restrictions in your community work and communications.
URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. This month he is retrograde and travels from 7 to 6 degrees if Taurus. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, you will feel a need for freedom and for making some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, go on a long vacation, move or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth. Expect earth events such as earthquakes and hurricanes during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.
NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month Neptune is staying at 18 degrees all month. A lack of focus, a sense of drifting, or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the ascendant or Personal Planets at 16 to 20 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time Neptune is in Pisces.
PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023. This month, Pluto is moving from 23 to 24 degrees of Capricorn all month. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 21 to 26 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?
Enjoy the Holidays,
