Wednesday, DECEMBER 4

Retrograde Mercury opposes Jupiter early today, and we need room to explore and create, visualize new solutions to problems, and express ourselves freely. However, we are inclined to exaggerate or miss the bigger point. It’s best to watch for a strong tendency to overstate or overestimate in our quest for meaning.

The Sun forms a square with Saturn in the late morning, and we might face obstacles and challenges. We can feel underestimated, unrecognized, unlucky, or unrewarded! Perhaps most importantly, we should watch for setting unattainable standards for ourselves, others, and situations. Our commitment to rest can temporarily interfere with a need for adventure. We face obstacles, but this puts us in the position to recognize our ability to overcome them. It can be a time to face reality or the practical side of a situation and assume more responsibility.

As well, a Venus-Neptune sextile is in play, softening our interactions. With this influence, we want to see the best in people and situations. We tend to approach one another more gently and sensitively. We see the spiritual dimensions of our relationships and aim to treat others with increased compassion. This influence encourages us to open up and embrace loving feelings. It also detaches us just enough from our feelings that we’re less possessive.

The Capricorn Moon hooks into this energy as it aligns with Venus this evening, and diplomacy helps us advance our goals. The Moon in Aquarius from 11:22 PM EST onward stimulates our progressive, inventive, and innovative side.

The Moon is void from 6:35 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 11:22 PM EST.
