‘Tis the season to be merry and December is topped and tailed by an auspicious pair of Full Moons. The first in Sagittarius on December 1st and another in Capricorn on December 30th so we receive a double whammy signal of new beginnings.  Mars begins its long retrograde on December 6th taming Leo the lion into a slower pace.  The knock-on effect in the collective is a revision,  so keep expectations loose.  Mercury is also retrograde until December 15th when we get the full-on Gemini Full Moon – a celestial Christmas decoration which lights up the middle of the month.   Optimistic Jupiter has been squaring pessimistic Saturn on and off since the Summer and they’re in close orb with their mixed message which is big in Christmas week.   We are treading the line between a desire to go all-out and reining it in – a balance to be struck.  As we move towards the start of 2025 the New Moon offers us the eternal cosmic message that there is always a new dawn, a movement in the heavens, the opportunity to start over – and when better than when a New Year is on the horizon.
