Week of December 9
Venus in Aquarius sextiles the North Node in Aries at 9:03 AM on December 9.
Venus in Aquarius values their friends, revels in experimentation and novelty, and will not give up on their dreams. Venus in Aquarius can sometimes symbolize an eccentric yet magnetic individual and spell innovative uses of money and other resources.
During Venus in Aquarius’s sextile to the North Node in Aries, fated-feeling introductions and conversations could take place. Maybe you, or someone else, will play matchmaker and introduce someone to a lasting and unique relationship.
The sun in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries at 12:48 PM on December 10.
You could read every book published, and your problems won’t be solved if you don’t try what you’ve read about. Theory is one thing, but practice is another. The wisdom gained through study, conversation, and research might be used well during this period.
Bruised egos and more could be healed during this period. An adventure could pull us out of the doldrums.
Venus in Aquarius opposes Mars retrograde in Leo at 5:45 AM on December 12.
This is a textbook “sexual tension” aspect. Someone has to make the first move, which can happen in a way you don’t expect during Mars retrograde. It could be wise to remember during this period that if you’re hiding yourself away, you won’t meet the love of your life, achieve those career goals, or go on fabulous adventures.
This could be a pivotal period, one of release. Tables could turn. The superstar could land in the audience, the wallflower on stage. Whether this is a crush to the ego, a stressful push into the spotlight, or a fun experiment in trading places, is up to the context of the situation and the individual.
Relationships could change at this time. Sparks could reignite, or we might part ways with people with whom we no longer share a romantic or creative fire.
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius sextiles Venus in Aquarius at 2:44 AM on December 13.
Conversations about relationships could be rehashed. What you thought you wanted could change based on new information, so it’s time to revisit. But, this can be a good-humored alignment for having these conversations. An easygoing, relaxed mood could flow. Expressing affection comes in unexpected or unconventional ways. This can be romantic and ecstatic, especially with the full moon in Gemini on the way!
