12/19/21 ✨ Venus Retrograde Begins
✨ Happy Sun Day!
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I focus on the journey, rather than the destination.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♑️VENUS RETROGRADE IN CAPRICORN (DEC 19 UNTIL JAN 29)
The planet of love and money stations retrograde early Sunday morning. Venus will continue its backspin in serious Capricorn until January 29, asking us to review our long-term commitments and relationships as well. Retrogrades are known to reveal things we’ve been ignoring or dismissing. During the next month-and-a-half, Venus could show us if there are any financial or romantic situations that won’t stand the test of time. This is not an ideal time to start a new relationship or make major financial investments. Oh… and don’t text your ex!
**Heads up: Mercury also goes retrograde in mid-January. The overlap of these retrogrades could cause major misunderstandings or clashes in partnerships. Buckle up, friends.
♈️CHIRON DIRECT IN ARIES
On the contrary, Chiron is stationing direct on Sunday morning. The Wounded Healer has been moving backwards in our night sky since July 15, asking us to review our healing and putting a spotlight on past traumas. Now that Chiron is resuming forward motion, we can move forward with what we’ve learned over the past six months and begin to help others in their healing.
♐️SUN SEXTILE ♒️JUPITER (4:30 PM PT)
Sunday afternoon, the Sagittarius sun gets support from optimistic Jupiter, giving us a boost of energy and excitement. With the countdown to Christmas officially underway, we’'ll be feeling extra generous and abundant. This is the perfect energy to manifest following last night’s full moon. Your rituals are still powerful tonight as well! Enjoy the good energy and allow it to carry you into the coming week.

THE MOON:
🌕MOON ➡️CANCER ♋️ (2:00 AM PT)
The full moon moves into its home sign of Cancer overnight, giving us ALL the feels. We’ll feel comfortable hanging at home on Sunday and giving our bodies nourishment and rest. Being around family will feel good for the soul.
♋️MOON QUINCUNX ♐️MARS (10:00 AM PT)
The moon’s awkward angle to Mars can bring lower energy levels. It might be hard to pry yourself off the couch on Sunday morning or get the motivation to get out of the house. Listen to your body and allow yourself to rest if possible.
♋️MOON SQUARE ♈️CHIRON (6:00 PM PT)
The Cancer moon stay quiet for much of the day until it clashes with Chiron on Sunday evening. This 90º angle can remind us of the healing journey we’ve been on while Chiron has been retrograde for the past 5 months. The key word here is journey. Remember there’s no destination when it comes to healing. Give yourself grace.
♋️MOON OPPOSITE ♑️MERCURY AND QUINCUNX ♒️SATURN (10:00 PM PT)
As we round out the weekend, the moon opposes Venus (now retrograde) and forms an awkward angle to Saturn. It might feel difficult to express our needs or understand our feelings. We can swing from using only our practical mind one moment and then fully embodying our emotions the next. Saturn’s influence brings a level of negativity, worry, or anxiety into the energy. Taking time for reflection and stillness can be helpful.
♋️MOON SEXTILE ♉️URANUS (MIDNIGHT PT)
Late Sunday can heighten our intuition and bring surprising downloads. This can also bring a physical change to our body - perhaps a random surge of late-night energy. If you’re already snoozing at this point, you might experience exciting dreams or astral encounters.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
We' experience a major shift in energy this Sunday. Venus stations retrograde, forcing us to review our long-term commitments in matters of money and love over the next six weeks. Meanwhile, Chiron stations direct, ending a five-month period of introspection in our healing journey. The moon moving into Cancer might feel a bit like a hangover from last night’s celebration under the social Gemini Full Moon, especially as it forms tense and awkward angles to Mars, Chiron, Mercury, and Saturn. These transits can slow the energy quite a bit and might make us a little bit more irritable or negative. Under the Cancer moon, resting and listening to your body can be your greatest asset.
