Thursday, DECEMBER 12

The Moon spends the day in Taurus, and we crave stability, favoring steadiness over innovation. With the Moon’s harmony with Saturn, we’re interested in building on our new ideas or what we already have in place.

This morning, however, the Venus-Mars opposition perfects and the Sun forms a sesquiquadrate with Mars, pointing to the potential for too-quick judgments and actions. We might be anxious to put something behind us, rushing decisions in the process. This transit adds instigating, tense, or impatient elements to the early day. We might crave action but not know where to direct this energy.

Coming into play today is Jupiter’s sesquiquadrate with Pluto, exact very early tomorrow. This outer-planet transit with longer-term influence can point to events or circumstances that subtly challenge our beliefs, kickstarting a need for an attitude change. We might struggle between the desire to learn through experience and the compulsion to follow our ambitions.

It’s crucial to find a balance in our journey of growth and advancement, as taking shortcuts or pushing too hard can ultimately set us back. While it can be tempting now, we should avoid exaggerating our importance or power to ourselves, as it’s easier to make costly mistakes this way.

We’re also approaching a Mercury-Venus sextile. Mercury is nearing the end of its retrograde cycle, and the Mercury-Venus sextile helps ease this sometimes rocky transition.
