A change of heart is possible today as Venus in Capricorn harmonizes with disruptive Uranus. Considering our long-term desires could lead to new insights. At the same time, we’re attracted to eccentric people, unconventional experiences, and risky investments. The dark moon in Sagittarius allows us to surrender to the unknown and have faith in what’s to come.

On the darkest day of the year, we experience a turning point. In astrology, the Winter Solstice marks the sun’s transition from outgoing and optimistic Sagittarius to cold and practical Capricorn. As we head into Winter, Capricorn season helps us plant the seeds in the dark for our future success to bloom when light returns in Spring. As soon as the sun moves into Capricorn, it makes a tense 90º square to Jupiter in Aries, pushing us to grow and evolve. We have ample confidence today, but it’s all too easy to overestimate ourselves or overextend our energy.

Let’s goooo! Jupiter enters Aries and it’s full speed ahead! With the planet of abundance in the first sign of the zodiac, it feels exciting to embark on new endeavors. We’re motivated to go after our desires and optimistic about the outcome. But it’s also possible to be a little too eager while Jupiter is at 0º. The waning Scorpio moon connects with Saturn and Neptune to start the day, making us feel like checking out or isolating.

Love and money triggers could pop up as Venus squares Chiron this Monday. Considering the long-term potential of relationships and finances could bring up insecurities or past wounds. But Mars makes its own connection to the Wounded Healer this afternoon, helping us move forward and take action on our healing journey. The Scorpio moon brings deep emotions to the surface.

Fated moments in love and money are possible this Sunday as Venus harmonizes with the North Node. We can easily align with who we’re becoming and the lessons we’re learning, but at the same time, we must acknowledge the parts of ourselves we’re leaving behind in the process. How we spend our money today could also open opportunities for our future. The moon makes its final connections in Libra this morning, highlighting our emotional investments in relationships.

Ch ch ch ch changes! Mercury and Uranus harmonize this Saturday, opening us to changes of plan and changes of mind. We can experience flashes of insight and new ideas during this transit. Surprising information and stimulating conversations are also on the agenda. The waning moon in Libra puts the focus on our relationships with others.

What are you still grasping tightly? The last quarter moon moves from Virgo to Libra today, asking us to release control in order to find balance. But the moon makes the most of its last hours in Virgo! A square between the moon and sun creates resistance, showing us where to let go and trust. Connections to Pluto and Lilith highlight transformation, helping us reclaim our power as emotions and connections fall away. And a potent opposition between the Virgo moon and Jupiter at the 29th degree makes us feel restless, inviting a major purge of emotion.

What would happen if you let go of control and leaned into trust? The waning Virgo moon takes us on a tender emotional ride throughout the day. An overnight trine to Mercury allows insights to flow through. But a square to Mars makes for a night of tossing and turning. Feeling restless is in the forecast. We wake up feeling anticipation and excitement under a harmonious connection between the moon and Uranus. Following our instincts and doing things differently is favored today.

Feeling a little lost or confused? The Sagittarius sun squares Neptune, stirring up doubt. This transit can cause anxiety and sensitivity, but at the same time, it can make us feel sleepy or lethargic. Rather than searching for clarity, take stock of blurry boundaries and unanswered questions. Meanwhile, messenger Mercury connects with Chiron and the nodes of fate today. We can understand the direction we’re meant to head as our path unfolds, but letting go of the past can bring up triggering thoughts. Watch your words- our expression can come across as harsh (or even hostile) tonight.

This Mars Day invites us to tap into our power! We’ve been experiencing a potent opposition between Pluto and Lilith for several weeks now, but the polarity comes to a head today. This transit can help us find confidence in the midst of transformation, but it could also bring out our inner-bitch. Remember- there’s a difference between owning your power and being overpowering… Stand in your worth without tearing others down.

What lessons are you learning? As the sun and Saturn lock into a supportive angle, we can make practical sense of the expansion we’re undergoing. This sextile can help us find concentration and get work done. Getting advice from elders or sharing what we’ve learned with others is favored now. The waning Leo moon invites us to release through playful expression.

Sunday starts with a burst of intensity as the Cancer moon meets up with Lilith at the most distant point on its orbit. At this dark and shadowy station, emotions buried in our own depths can rise to the surface. A simultaneous opposition to Pluto amplifies the intensity. We feel a need for control today- but watch out for power struggles and manipulation tactics. By the middle of the day, harmony between the moon and Jupiter brings our emotions to a head.
