INDULGE IN MAGIC
Monday, December 24, 2018:
For most of you, this won’t feel like a normal Monday. Many of you will have the day off and many more of you will go home early. Perhaps you are traveling or busy with company and doing last minute preparations.
You will likely wake early with lots of energy while still focused on family and creating comfort for others. However. when the Moon enters Leo at 11:59 AM EST your focus will shift to celebration, playfulness, and fun.
As the evening approaches allow yourself to release expectations and all the ‘shoulds’ that often crowd your mind. Mercury square Neptune at 7:32 PM EST suggests a lack of clarity in your thinking. Therefore, allow your mind to dream. Listen to music, read poetry. Indulge in the magic of the season with imagination and dreamy sensitivity.

GENEROSITY AND GIVING
Tuesday, December 25, 2018:
This is a lovely day for a holiday celebrated with generosity and giving! The Leo Moon allows us to fully embrace and engage with the playful heart of a child. Dramatic self-expression and playful creativity are front and center. This is a day for open-hearted generosity, a time to embrace the child within. Express love and appreciation in a big way. Think about the stage that is your life; express what you want the world to see. Take a creative risk, allow others to see a part of yourself that you normally keep under wraps. Allow your most sparkly side to shine through. You may be surprised at how good it feels. Your inner child wants to come out to play.
If you are an introvert, express your appreciation of others. If you do not want to be on stage, applaud someone who does.
A SATISFIED EVENING
Wednesday, December 26, 2018:
A great post-holiday morning made for brunch with family or friends. The Moon remains in expressive, fun-loving Leo until she enters Virgo at 12:49 PM EST. At that point, you may want to head home and spend the afternoon tidying up after the festivities. You can expect a practical afternoon where productivity feels deeply enjoyable due to a lovely trine aspect formed between the Capricorn Sun and the Virgo Moon. Settle in for an afternoon and evening of practical activities. Remember that the Moon sets the tone for each day and changes sign every 2 ½ days. With the Moon in Virgo, you will find yourself serious, dedicated, and thoughtful. This is a good time to accomplish a project that requires detailed effort and efficiency. Enjoy a quiet and satisfied evening.

BACK TO WORK
Thursday, December 27, 2018:
If you need to head back to work after the holiday this is the optimal day to do so. The elementally stable Virgo Moon keeps things chugging along with practical efficiency. You will likely encounter both challenges and flow as the Moon alternates between aspects of ease and struggle throughout the day.
Watch your expectations and be easy on yourself. Watch the tone in your voice and curb any tendency to be critical. Showing kindness through practical service to others will ease your own self-criticism.
While the Moon is in Virgo you are deeply dedicated, thoughtful, and detail oriented.
As we come to the end of 2018 you may be thinking of New Year’s resolutions. The Virgo Moon offers the perfect time to consider that new health or fitness regime.
SOCIAL CHARM
Friday, December 28, 2018:
Mostly a quiet day of simple productivity on mundane issues or projects that are already in full swing. When the Moon enters Libra at 3:23 PM EST focus shifts from solitary service to a deep desire to connect with others. Offer the gifts of Libra this evening; the desire to please, engage in social niceties and create beauty. Commit yourself to achieve balance, fairness, and pleasure in all your interactions. Remember that as an air sign Libra’s charm comes from a fundamentally intellectual place. Libra knows how to create companionship, romance, and social alliances.
At 4:31 PM EST with Venus (the planet of love and beauty) forming a sweet sextile aspect of opportunity to Pluto (the planet of empowerment and productivity). Look for an opportunity to release something that is holding your back from your true calling of human love and kindness.

“Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.” ~ Og Mandino
RELEASE AND REFINE
Saturday, December 29, 2018:
The Moon continues through diplomatic, social Libra reaching the 3rd Quarter Moon Phase in the early hours of the morning. The themes to work with at this phase are those of release, letting go, and forgiveness. Let go of any grudges, and all messes, this intense holiday season has left you with. The challenges you release now with help you fully engage with the new cycle that begins at next week’s New Moon. Clean up any mess left over from the revelries of the past week. Go into the next phase and the upcoming new year with a clean slate. Shed what is no longer needed.
This is a great weekend to enjoy cultural activities, go to a museum, a concert, or gather together a group of friends. Any issues that arise are best met with dispassionate objectivity. Put cooperation, the harmony of the group, and an attitude of refinement ahead of other consideration. It may not be easy to take a stand, be decisive, or speak up for yourself., but that is how it should be right now. Let yourself off the hook. Rest in the pleasure. There is always another day to take action or speak up.
POWER BELOW THE SURFACE
Sunday, December 30, 2018:
The Moon remains in diplomatic, relationship-oriented Libra and offers her gifts throughout the day. She brings the desire to please, engage in social niceties and create beauty. You may find yourself looking to others for balance, fairness, and pleasure. While the Moon moves through Libra we all desire companionship, charm, and beauty. Remember that Libra is an Air sign, it is fundamentally an intellectual charm and connection that is important here. Seek out companionship, friendships, social alliances, and intimate gatherings.
At 8:23 PM EST the Moon leaves all that politeness behind to enter the dark passionate waters of Scorpio. It is time to release the need to charm in order to engage on a deeply emotional and passionate level. 2018 ends and 2019 begins with each of us fully aware of the deeper intensities that reside below the surface, personally and socially. Even as we come to the end of the year and want to bring in the New Year with excitement and fun we are powerfully aware of the transformations that await us in the coming year. There are deep and powerful questions below the surface of your mind and the wider culture. As you fall asleep you may want to begin looking into those deep corners, ask yourself what you can personally offer to the cause of human transformation.

* In these weekly reports, I am exploring the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and are often fleeting moods. I will consider the final major aspect formed by the Moon prior to its VOC* time, as that aspect holds its influence throughout the VOC*.
The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
