Nerdy Numbers, Longest Night and New Moon bookends - BitchScopes for December 19-26

As I write this it is December 18th.  But as per my usual dufus-ness, I almost prepared Scopes from December 19th through January 2nd. And I was wondering how in the world next week was already the end of the year! Well it's 2 weeks away, still SO close but first we have Christmas, if you celebrate that. But for us astro nerds, what’s more interesting is the Winter Solstice on the 21st and the New moon in Capricorn on the 23rd

We have a podcast episode about the solstice up (or going up very shortly) so check out BitchStory on Apple or Spotify for all kinds of nerdy education about this winter holiday season.

"Winter Solstice" by tijanadraws

The solstice is the longest night of the year, the peak of winter’s coldness. When we emerge on December 22nd (ish) we welcome back the Sun as the days slowly get a little bit longer. You might notice the potential play on words with welcoming the Sun and welcoming “the Son” (of God) and the timing of Christmas. Interesting eh? For real, check out the podcast episode. But basically the Romans incorporated many of the Pagan traditions into newly formed Christian traditions in order to roll those people up into the Roman Kingdom rulership. So almost all the Christian traditions, rites, and holidays have roots in the Pagan deity worship and their traditions.

Shortly after the solstice, which also marks to Sun’s ingress into Capricorn, we have a Capricorn new moon. This moon is at 1° of Capricorn, so there’s all kinds of fresh new beginnings possible as we wrap up 2022 and head into ‘23. But, nerd alert! There’s more! We started 2022 with a new moon in Capricorn. On January 2nd, we had a 12° new moon. Let’s get nerdy about the numbers:

12 is a number of awakening, growth, cycle completion, and the pause before the changes happen. In our everyday life, there are 12’s everywhere: 12 months, 12 hours in the day, 12 hours in the night, 12 days of Christmas, 12 disciples, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 colors on the standard color wheel, 12 people have walked on the moon, 12 jurors on a trial, 12 knights in King Arthur’s court, and many other examples. 12 represents a graduation of sorts from the physical to the spiritual. 1is the number of manifestation, 2 is the number of faith and balance and relationships. You get the idea.

This new moon is at 1°, and 1 correlates to freedom, independence, leadership. It’s also interesting to note that Jupiter moves into Aries this week, where it will be for most of next year. Jupiter has a way of coloring and giving a theme to the year, and in this case, Aries echos all of those number 1 qualities. (Jupiter in Pisces had that 12 energy from the 12th house!)

Capricorn, like Aries, is ambitious and goal oriented. Aries tends to be a little more impulsive and sprint-y, where Cap is more of a marathon and long term goal energy.

On the same day as the New Moon, Chiron goes direct in…Aries! So there is a lot of healing that can happen under this lunation. What are your wounds and how can they, or have they, informed your feeling of purpose in the world? I have said many times that our greatest weakness is also our greatest superpower. Give that some thought and see what comes up for you.

Set an intention for finding and connecting with your current purpose in life (your purpose can change many times!). What new skills do you want to attain? What changes to your business would you like to make? Even if you don’t work, own a business, or have any desire to acquire new skills, you can use this new moon to set intentions for personal or spiritual goals for the next year.

In other news for this week, Venus and Mars are still not 100% on the same page, so relationships may still feel slightly off. Mars is still retrograde and doing some healing of the past. Venus is getting antsy waiting for his ass to come out of his little man cave.

Mercury offers a mood lift as he is buzzing around shaking hands and rubbing elbows before he goes retrograde starting next week.

2 interesting degree aspects this week involving the asteroid Chaos. Chaos is retrograde has has been in Cancer. This week he backs into Gemini and stirs up a little shit. He, at 29° Gemini, will square Jupiter at 29° Pisces, and oppose the sun Sun in the last degree of Sagittarius. As I have mentioned many times, 29° is a real bajiggity energy, and since we are talking about Chaos, there is both a burning need to create, and one to fuck things up a bit. Gemini and Sagittarius are the student and the teacher/philosopher so this aspect could give you some kind of intellectual breakthrough if you wanted to harness it.

This week’s scopes will focus on the new moon where it hits each sign’s chart, and I’m pulling a card to indicate “your Christmas wish”.

Happy whatever! I love all you magical bitches!



ARIES - The moon hits your 10th house of career and public image. What begins around this time is going to move you forward a great deal on your path. You might be recognized for some accomplishment in the coming few days. This is a benchmark for a new beginning of some kind in who you are to the world at large. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Mermaid Soul”. This speaks to your magical qualities and feminine freedom. You crave interesting things and are easily bored so you need to magic you can find in life. Live your life according to what fills your soul!


TAURUS - The moon hits your 9th house of experience and adventure. A new chapter of your journey (maybe literally) might be starting. Your beliefs and worldview may undergo a significant shift. Reconnect with hopes and dreams and your true aspirations. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Daughter of the Sacred Heart”. You are an infinite being and as such, there are no mistakes or misses in life. There are only experiences and growth. You are loved unconditionally regardless of what paths you’ve taken or how you may have “screwed up”. You are a child of the Divine and you are loved and protected!


GEMINI - The moon hits your 8th house of (kinky) secrets and other people’s money (I love the 8th house and I think I change what I call it every week. heehee.) This house is what you gain from other people, and also what you carry for other people to some degree. This moon might give you access to something you haven’t been able to get to before. This is a deep house and the meaning of this new moon here will also be deep. This is also a place of control and power (Pluto). and transformation. Perhaps there’s a “rising from the ashes” coming for you. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Angel of Truth”. This is a great cue to take stock of your life and see what is true for you, what have you outgrown, and what just feels absolutely bullshit to you. The 8th house loves the deeper truth, so I love the way this card plays with that.


CANCER - The moon hits your 7th house of relationships. So you could start a new relationship, a new job, get a new contract, or something of that nature. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Rockstar”. Have you ever had “imposter syndrome”? This would be a great time to work that out. Set intentions with this moon to be given opportunities for letting your light shine its brightest. No more being held back or down. Bust out into your own spotlight!


LEO - The moon hits your 6th house of work, routine and habits. This plants a seed for a new way of life, new lifestyle, new habits etc. Seemingly small changes you make in your daily life can have a positive effect on your long term health and wellness. If there are situations at work that are icky, this new moon could be the turning point. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Moon Child”. This card is a strong indicator that by pulling down the energy of this new moon in the darkness of this long night, you can really activate changes!


VIRGO - The moon hits your 5th house of play and romance. Heads up about pregnancy in this lunation. If you are trying, have fun! If you are not…back away slowly haha. This moon also gives a breath of life to any creative projects you have and offers a sense of freedom for the next chapter of your life. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “wild and free”. The quote on the card says “all good things are wild and free” which is from Thoreau. This card goes perfectly with the energy of freedom and creation.


LIBRA - The moon hits your 4th house of home and family. Because this is a new moon, I feel like you are turning a page and starting a new chapter. Old karma has possibly cleared, or can be healed with this moon. And a renewal can come as you emerge into the new year and beyond. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Divine Bad Ass”. I feel like this card gives a nod and a high-five to the unhealthy familial patterns and chains that you’ve broken. You have that ability and energy that allows people to feel safe so that wounds can be healed. Going forward, give that energy to yourself, in spades! Stand up for what you are worth in every aspect of life.


SCORPIO - The moon hits your 3rd house of communication and learning. If you aren’t learning something new now, you will be soon. Your social life, and maybe your social media presence, can feel busier during this lunation period. You might be working on gathering inspiration for a book or something you will publish. This moon can help you a lot with that, especially as you generally feel more inspired in the quiet of the dark anyway. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Free Spirit”. Give yourself permission to make “mistakes” by saying yes to more things, more opportunities, more people. Your spirit is a beautiful bird that many admire. Don’t leave it in the cage to protect it all the time…let if fly!


SAGITTARIUS - The moon hits your 2nd house of earned income. This is a good time to take stock of your income and debts, wishes and things you’ve saved up for. Going forward, you can look forward to higher earnings and more money that stays with you. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “be there for you”. You are a loyal and trustworthy friend who offers great advice. Going forward you’ll have more people that reciprocate that back to you, more of a feeling that someone “has your back”. But you also need to have your own back as much as you have everyone else’s.


CAPRICORN - The moon hits your 1st house of self and as we emerge from this dark moon, you may see yourself differently, in a “whole new light” so to speak. This moon really speaks to who you are and what your purpose is right now. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Tribe of the Kindred”. Your tribe, your sacred connections with friends and loved ones, is going to be strengthened. The card actually references one of my all time favorite poems by ee cummings: “I carry your heart with me”, so you might check out the poem and see what it brings up for you. A deepening of the knowledge of who you are means you will attract in people and connections that are much more congruent with your spirit.

AQUARIUS - The moon hits your 12th house, which I think is a fascinating house. It rules the unconscious mind, past lives, isolation, unfinished business, karma, and pretty much everything that didn’t fit in the other 11 houses. I refer to it as the closet. Things you’ve put on hold can be activated by this new moon. Your dreams may be more vivid during this time. Everything will lead you to the next right launch point. The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is…well…perfect. It’s “On your own terms”...as if an Aquarius knows any other way. I think you are headed into a period where you feel much more in control of your path. This also means you will be your own savior, superhero and knight on a white horse. But you’ve always been that for yourself. You get to call the shots much more going forward!


PISCES - The moon hits your 11th house of hopes and dreams and who helps you find them. A new moon here can bring a new alliance, friendship, or even a new dream. Magical surprise gifts can show up after this kind of moon, and if that happens just say Thank You! The card I picked from the “Love your Inner Goddess” deck (by Alana Fairchild) is “Starborn”. Piscean people are always magical. As such you can sometimes feel like you don’t quite belong on earth. But you’re here for a reason and the Earth loves and needs your energy. Earth is a messy place but has so much beauty. Next time you look up from this rock to the night skies, recognize that you are made of the dust of ancient stars.

Teenager Energy - BitchScopes for the Week of December 12-19

Mercurial - /mərˈkyo͝orēəl/ adjective subject to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind.
Synonyms: volatile capricious temperamental excitable fickle changeable

It’s going to be a Mercurial kind of week, y’all. Mercury is busy and enters its shadow phase this week. Mercury will retrograde in Capricorn from December 29 until January 19th. We will begin 2023 in Mercury retrograde AND 2024. This month’s retrograde will usher in Mercury retrograding in earth signs until 2024. So starting this week, pay attention to what is happening for you around career, ambition, and public life. Things may get bumpy with authority figures or your social media presence, and other things that put you in the public eye. Obviously Capricorns and the other earth signs could feel this the most, as well as the other Cardinal signs of Libra, Aries, and Cancer. But honestly, generally Mercury retrogrades touch everyone to some degree.

This week Mercury also forms awkward quincunxes with Mars and Venus, and Mars and Venus quincunx each other, so disagreements and harsh words are possible. Again, just watch yourself. Fun fact: As someone who tells people every single week to “be aware”, you might (not) be surprised to know that I always step in the planetary shit I am warning you guys about. *eyeroll*

Mercury trines Uranus this week, which portends “exciting news”, and with Mercury in Capricorn territory, it is likely related to those 10th house things already mentioned. “Exciting” is subject to interpretation and experience and this is a good reminder that Mercury (or any) retrograde is not “bad”. A lot of great things can and do happen under retrogrades and it doesn’t mean they won’t “stick” or last. So Mercury trine Uranus could be a great thing. Optimism, bitches! Optimism!

Mercury trines the North Node this week, which gives your words a certain kind of magic and magnetism to attract good things and fated people that can help you toward your goals.

The Sun conjuncts the Galactic Center (every year at this time), and this is a time when we can get powerful spiritual downloads that can provide inspiration about our path and purpose. The Sun also trines Eris, increasing feistyness, but squares Neptune, decreasing motivation.

Galactic Center as captured by Hubble

So this week is basically a teenager: moody, full of potential, but lazy and argumentative… Yes I would like a glass of wine, thanks. 

ARIES - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 9th house of ambitions, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 10th house of career. You could really be preparing (whether you are conscious of it at this time or not) to launch something big in your life. Neptune is in your 12th house, which can be a very psychic placement for it. It is squaring your 9th house of big dreams so you may be resisting some adjustments to your dream board. Mars is retrograding in your 3rd house, so your communication might be a little hampered, or your dialogue is mostly internal. That’s OK. You will come out with whatever feels right when it is right. Make sure your professional emails remain professional this week and going forward through Mercury retrograde, and likewise, keep your words in check. With your 10th house energy squaring your 3rd house, you might insert foot in mouth. 


TAURUS - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 8th house of intimacy and secrets, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 9th house of ambitions. This is a time when you can really take deeper knowledge of yourself and start to carve out a deeper or new path. Neptune is in your 11th house of friends squaring that deep 8th house, so your friends group may be changing because you are changing. Mars is retrograding in your 2nd house, so your money might be feeling tight. Use this time for budgeting, so that when Mars goes direct, it can shoot out of that bow like an arrow on target for making, having, and keeping more of your money. With your 9th house of big dreams squaring your 2nd house, make sure are not over extending yourself based on idealism alone.


GEMINI - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 7th house of contracts, agreements and relationships, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 8th house of intimacy and secrets. Your experiences in the present time are going to take you deeper into yourself and your relationships if you let them. Neptune in your 10th house can make things really hard to figure out or have the energy to do, and Mars is retrograding in your 1st house, so your sense of identity might be either really inspired or struggling to find its light. But when Mars goes direct, the energy will settle and you will feel like a new you in some ways. What motivates and drives you will shift and change next year, so don’t be surprised if what used to turn you on (both intellectually and physically), doesn’t really anymore. It’s just growth - nothing to self sabotage about.


CANCER - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 6th house of routine, health and habit, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 7th house of contractual relationships. Taking care of yourself is something you owe not only to yourself, but to those that depend on you. That means don’t burn the candle at both ends, delegate, and generally engage in self care more regularly. Neptune in the 9th house of ambitions squares the Sun and Galactic center, so you may be resisting some necessary work changes. Mars is retrograding in your 12th house, so your energy could be off, subdued, or just plain ol’ low. It will definitely get better after Mars goes direct. But this is your not so subtle hint by the Creator that makes all this magical shit work together to take advantage of this quiet time of inspiration, and make yourself a priority!


LEO - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 5th house of creativity, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 6th house of health and habits. That 5th house energy is your home and dominion, so you can really feel inspired and get some juicy downloads from the Sun at the Galactic Center on Sunday the 18th. I would encourage you to really tap in, meditate, or create on that day. Mars is retrograding in your 11th house, so your social life might be more low key than usual. That is not only ok, it gives you permission to really squeeze everything you can out of this creative energy without distraction.


VIRGO - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 4th house of home and family, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 5th house of creativity, fun, and romance. Are you introducing your significant other to your family this holiday season? Maybe your sweetie is on your nerves, and you can blame that Neptune Square Sun for that. It’ll pass. Holiday traditions may be shifting to include more children and even with a few hiccups, the holidays look pretty yummy and sweet. Your career may feel kinda meh right now, and that’s because Mars is retrograding there. It will start moving forward after the new year and you’ll be plenty busy and hair on fire to serve, as you are wont to do. Have some fun. “Make hay while the sun shines”, as they say.


LIBRA - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 3rd house of communications, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 4th house of family. Even though Mercury is slowing down, conversations with family, or information about family roots can be enlightening. Mars is retrograding in your 9th house of travel and experience and Neptune is transiting your 6th house, so you may be questioning if your current “job” (or routine) is really what you want. Your dreams and ambitions may not fit the way they used to, and that is likely due to some kind of family dynamic. Maybe they need your more or less than they used to so that changes the plan.


SCORPIO - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 2nd house of money, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 3rd house of information. With Mercury slowing down and preparing to retrograde in that 3rd house, and with the inspiration from the Galactic Center, you might be struck with inspiration and ideas for some kind of income stream. Use sunday the 18th to meditate around these issues. Mars is retrograding in your 8th house of debt and other people’s money, so that will figure into this equation too, especially once it goes direct in January.


SAGITTARIUS - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 1st house of self. Happy Birthday! No wonder you are such a source of inspiration and deep thought…you get it from the galaxy! When Mercury retrogrades in your 2nd house of earned income, your income might slow down a little. Adding to this, your contractual relationships (that means marriage partners and bosses or employees) are being affected by Mars retrograde in your 7th house. That will get much better when Mars goes direct. Take time to clean up your bookkeeping so you can have a 2023 of maximum financial efficiency!


CAPRICORN - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 12th house of isolation and old crap, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 1st house of self. You are very likely going through some deep changes and healing from things in your past (even past lives). Also at this time, Mars is retrograding in your 6th house of work and routine. When Mars goes direct in January, things at work are going to pick up speed so take this opportunity to do the deeper self examination. You will be a bit of a brand new person in 2023, so make the most of this time so that you can emerge as a badass butterfly!


AQUARIUS - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 11th house of audience, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 12th house of old crap and karma. Friendships that ended badly could be on your mind. This is a chance for you to heal that shit and be done with it! Mars is retrograding in your 5th house, so your relationships with your kids, or other people’s kids (or your creative process) might be a little strained. It will improve in the new year. You have Neptune sort of clouding issues and energy levels in your income sector, and that will continue to bounce around a bit for another year or so. Keep your focus on what you feel most passionate about even if that has changed. Your vision will align you to your best life!


PISCES - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 10th house of career, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 11th house of audience. Your career should be pretty strong right now. Even with Mercury getting ready to retrograde in that 11th house, you are likely to just glean deeper knowledge about who you are trying to reach with your work. That Galactic Center situation on Sunday the 18th could give you some real juicy inspiration about your public life/career. I don’t have to tell you to meditate, as your life is a walking meditation - especially with your ruler and Jupiter in your 1st house. If family connections seem “off”, it will improve when Mars goes direct. I think I’ve said this to you before but it’s ok to focus on your career dreams right now! Everything has a season (cue the song)!

Bitchscopes for December 5-12 & Wonder Twins Gemini Full Moon

Alright, let me just jump into this. This week we have Mercury and Venus operating in tandem, like the Wonder Twins, not to mention a full moon in Gemini, sign of the twins!

Wonder Twins, form of a Capricorn!

Both Mercury and Venus move into Capricorn this week, and then both Mercury and Venus oppose the asteroid Chaos. Mercury and Venus will be at 0 degrees of Capricorn, and Chaos at 0 degrees of Cancer. 0 degrees of a sign is strong, undiluted energy of that sign. Keeping with our Wonder Twins them…let’s imagine Chaos at 0 degrees of Cancer is our villain (it isn’t a villain, just go with it for now). Chaos stands at the entrance to Cancer-land holding alllll of the feelings and intuition and memories in his grasp. “Mwuahahaha! I have all of the feelings! I will use them for my own Chaotic purposes! Mwuahahaha!”

However, Chaos has met his match with the 0 degree Capricorn Twins! No one can organize like a Cap under pressure! No one can keep a Capricorn Venus from what she desires! Our Capricorn heroes are uber focused, no nonsense and “get out of my way”.

All of this to say, our feelings and intuition may be hard to access during this brief tussle. What we want, and how we express what we want may come out very awkwardly, if at all. So be aware and don’t go blowing up your relationship over a meaningless fight. Utilize the massive creative and nurturing energy of Chaos in this placement to heal yourself of whatever is currently ailing you, especially things of an emotional nature.

The next thing that caught my attention is that Mars and the Sun both oppose Juno, the ruler of marriage. Squabbles could happen. And going back to that chaos situation above, they might even be likely. There may be fundamental incompatibility that becomes obvious. If your ideals or levels of commitment are not the same, you have an issue. Also possible - being attracted to someone who isn’t available, or feeling jealous and insecure. The good news is that Mars might make you determined to make something work, to work out the problems of a good relationship. So not all relationships will suffer.

Next up, Pallas is conjunct Lilith. Pallas is a brilliant mind, a strategic planner, a mastermind. Lilith is rebellious, take no shit - the original feminist. There is a vision, there is a rebellion, and there is a master plan to realize that vision. Furthermore, Venus quincunxes both Pallas and Lilith. Venus represents our values and these quincunxes can cause upset to the status quo. If I was planning a women's march or a protest, these would be great days to do it! (see transit list)

Our stalwart duo, Mercury and Venus both square Jupiter this week. It can be difficult to trust people this week. And we may have a hard time knowing our limits, either in play or in work. Socializing with our friends and co-workers looks great this week, but over indulging is something to watch for.

Last and certainly not least, we have a Full Moon in Gemini! This full moon is conjunct Mars, and Mars in retrograde doesn’t make it any calmer. This full moon can trigger sensitive areas for us and make us more reactive. Mars is our drives and when he is retrograde he will examine motivations, where we put our effort and if it is misplaced or is our energy being wasted. We can question ourselves and WTF we are doing. Furthermore, Mars’ energy is occulted/blocked by this full moon, making our true desires a little harder to access. Our feelings, not our drive to fulfill our actual needs, are going to be driving the bus. This is a recipe for acting out and not really understanding why… like starting a fight and not realizing it's not at all what you want to fight about but you’ve dug in your heels and won’t turn back now.

Also when Mars opposes the Sun, competitive energies arise. Egos get involved and so can hurt feelings. It’s important to be aware of your energy at work, and if your boss is being extra “whatever”, do what you can to avoid them. Don’t get into a drinking competition at the company Christmas party. There are all kinds of scenarios that are possible and most of them will end poorly if you are not operating in awareness.

Full moons are great for releasing things. If you have anger or resentment about something, or you’ve remembered something hurtful (Gemini keeps the receipts!), use this full moon to let it out. Write it down. Or have one of those one sided imaginary arguments while you shower. Yell and scream if it feels right. If you need to be able to do that, but have roommates or neighbors - drive out to an unpopulated area and put on whatever kind of loud music work for you and just rage it out in the car (not while driving. Driving is good for warming up. Some angry Adele singing is good.) If you yell at the imaginary not-present person until you cry, cry it the fuck out! If you’re a writer, write the scathing letter to your boss or partner or ex and say all the things you couldn’t say. Read it out loud. (And make sure you destroy that letter afterward!)   If you have been healing or hurting from a relationship this year and you’d like to move the fuck on and get unstuck, this is a good moon for that. Cleanse your emotional energy and make room for fresh, new, good stuff in the coming new year. Maybe even clean out a drawer or a closet for your future lover or partner. Donate your old stuff. Use your old partner’s abandoned underwear for your full moon ritual fire. You get the idea.

The full moon will always illuminate things. With the full moon in Gemini, information and ideas can show up for you. It will always be something you need. Write things down, because Gemini’s energy is fast-moving. And remember this week that while you are conscious and aware and trying to heal and not sabotage, they may not be at that same level of awareness and might start a petty argument or some other kind of shit or drink too much at their company Christmas party etc. etc. Be forgiving and compassionate where it is important. Have good boundaries where you need to. Try to stay calm. A good night’s sleep and a couple days time can do magic.

If you do start a feminist revolution this week, please email me the date and time.

Above all, try to have some fun, find peace, appreciate beauty, believe in magic. We are all the goddamn Wonder Twins!



ARIES - Your wonder twin powers fall in the 3rd house of communication. Expect information to show up within a couple weeks after this full moon. Your communication and values are lined up in your 10th house of career, and the Sun in Sagittarius offers a lot of optimism for your work life right now whether you are content or looking elsewhere. If your job feels like it doesn’t align with your spiritual values, or if your intuition is telling you something is off, I wouldn’t act on it just yet. That is possibly the squares of Mercury and Venus to Jupiter so I would wait until the dust settles from all this full moon and other activity this week when you can access truth and your real feelings.


TAURUS - The wonder twins grace your 2nd house of income, and you could receive news about a raise or a job offer after this full moon. The Sun in your 8th house could get some passive income, loans, or investments percolating and have you feeling optimistic. But keep your wits about you and watch out for over spending or over extending yourself. Mercury and Venus in Cap are in your 9th house of travel and experiences, squaring Jupiter in your house of friends, hopes and dreams, and groups. If you’ve got some travel plans, your friend(s) may flake out (and Mercury is retrograding in Cap at the end of December so keep that in mind), so maybe you’re better off adjusting those plans or having a plan B.


GEMINI - The wonder twins full moon hits your 1st house of course, and this can light up your path for you and show you your next steps. Jupiter is in your 10th house and it can offer some foundational wisdom on how to build whatever it is you’re trying to build. Mercury and Venus in Capricorn can do the same, as well as bringing in ideas and people to add to that foundational structure. The sun is in your partnership house, bringing focus and hopefully warmth there. However, the full moon may agitate your partner and they may be a shit starter. It will pass, so keep your wits about you and keep your sharp tongue in check until the dust settles!


CANCER - The wonder twins moon hits your weird 12th house. Weird isn’t always bad, but it can be eerie, other worldly, unseen…its like the energetic stuff that gets swept under the rug. The full moon might shine a flashlight into those untidy corners. Your sleep and your dreams may be screwy. Any intuitive hits you get about your body or your health at this time are things you should explore. New relationships can get serious with Venus in Capricorn in your 7th house. Communication can be a bit more no-nonsense in your marriage or relationship now as well.


LEO - The wonder twins moon hits your 11th house of friends, dreams, and people who help us achieve those dreams. This full moon can light up and draw into your life people who can help you further your goals and find your audience. The sun in Sagittarius is in your 5th house of creativity and Mercury and Venus in Capricorn will give you the right head for making great strides toward your vision. Don’t be alarmed if there are spats between you and your friends during this full moon energy. But there is also clarity around these issues, so you’ll know if you need to do something with the information that comes up and out.


VIRGO - The wonder twins moon lights up your 10th house of career, which can bring attention to you. But because Mars is involved, I am thinking you’ll need to be aware of blowing up on someone. This could happen anywhere in your “public life”. You might loose your cool on social media, or at work, or in an email (Gemini!) Try to keep your shit together and not blow up, but if you do, all you can do is move ahead. Things might get emotional or pissy at home as well, because the Sagittarius sun is in your 4th house, opposing that moon and Mars. You do have great creative resources this week, so lean into that energy to get done whatever you need to get done and move past all the drama and dust. This too shall pass!


LIBRA - The wonder twins moon lands in your 9th house of ambitions, so you might get a glimpse of a future job or something along those lines. But the Sunis in the 3rd house of communication opposes that moon and Mars. Because Mars is involved, there could be some tension and it would likely be of a know-it-all nature. Mercury and Venus are in your 4th house of family, squaring your routines and work, so things just aren’t aligning with your personal life and people and your ambitions and career. But these things come to light for our benefit and it isn’t likely to be anything huge, just some agitation.


SCORPIO - The wonder twins moon hits your 8th house of secrets and intimacy. You might become aware of something in the light of this moon. With Mars involved, things could get heated. You might also become aware of a debt you owe or someone wants something paid back. Mercury and Venus in Capricorn will be in the 3rd house squaring your 5th house. This makes me think of an argument with a child or a creative block. Whatever comes up around the full moon, take it in stride and try not to overreact. When the dust settles, whatever it is will not be so jarring.


SAGITTARIUS - The wonder twins moon hits your 7th house of partnerships and is conjunct Mars. So an argument is possible. You could also meet someone in this full moon energy, and in this case, Mars would just be making things hot. Money is likely to be a conversation at home, and it may be a source of friction or tension. Make sure that you’re holding up your end of the agreements. This energy will pass and money will start flowing in with more ease in the coming months.


CAPRICORN - The wonder twins moon hits your 6th house of health and habits. You might start to see the benefits of things you’ve been working on, or something could come to your attention that you’ve missed. Mercury and Venus move into your first house, giving you extra charm and wit, so don’t be surprised if you get more attention than usual. The Sun in Sagittarius is in your 12th house, so as I’ve mentioned before, you may have the birthday doldrums. It will pass and you’ll be back on your game later this month.


AQUARIUS - The wonder twins moon hits your 5th house of creativity, play, romance, and offspring. So, if you were trying to get pregnant, you might find out now (and it could be twins!). Creative projects might also be finished or your work on them completed. Jupiter in Pisces is in your 2nd house, so you might be getting paid now for your work too! The Sun in Sagittarius is in your 11th house of friends, so this could be a great period for you socially, however, Mercury and Venus move into your 12th house, where things are a bit more introverted. Mercury will be there for a while, but Venus will move along and you can find more romantic prospects if you are looking.


PISCES - The wonder twins moon hits your 4th house of home and family. That is a Cancer ruled house, so feelings may come out under this moon. Jupiter is still in your sign, bestowing a good amount of luck and juju on you, which is likely to show up in your 10th house (where Sagittarius Sun is) or your 11th house of hopes, dreams, friends, associates, and audience. Things still look really good for your projects and prospects! You’re on Fiyah!!
