Astrolore’s Weekly Astrology Weather: – December 16, 2019 through December 22, 2019
Pay attention to the building intensity that you feel. Saturn and Pluto have been playing hide and seek with each other throughout 2019. They finally make full contact on January 12, 2020.
It is time to face reality and do the work necessary to progress. It is important to know in what area of your life this intensity is occurring. Using the Whole Sign House System, look to the house that holds Capricorn in your chart.
You must take responsibility and face reality for your life and circumstances.
The powerful and challenging issues that are clear in the culture are reflected in your personal life. An inevitable conclusion and a new beginning are at hand.
You must take concrete measures to change the world and your own life. Are you ready? An astrological consultation will help clarify your path throughout 2020. Contact me for a consultation today.

Your support will help me continue writing these posts while developing other programs and the tool/game that I, Laurie Dawn, and Jennie Date are working on.
Please keep in mind that transits to your natal planets can override these more universal ones. A personal consultation offers deep understanding.
HOLIDAY TRADITIONS – Monday, December 16, 2019
Start the week with a passionate morning encounter.
If that option is not interesting or available, get out of bed early and go to the gym, dance, lift weights, go for a bike ride or a run. With the Moon square Mars, exerting physical energy will keep you from the alternative of early morning frustration and crankiness.
By the time you reach your workplace, focus on the playful side of the Leo Moon. Give everyone more attention than usual and allow yourself to shine with generosity and open-hearted kindness.
The Moon trine the Sun at 5:10 PM EST allows for a fun evening with friends or family. When you finish clearing the table after dinner, don’t turn on the TV or head to your separate corners. Spend the evening engaged in family holiday traditions or surprise everyone by getting out a board game to play together.

The Leo Moon is void-of-course from 5:10 PM EST until she enters Virgo tomorrow at 2:16 AM EST, suggesting that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.
ANOTHER OFFER OF OPPORTUNITY – Tuesday, December 17, 2019
With the Moon in Virgo, you may expect a day of practical accomplishment. As long as that accomplishment comes with a tinge of excitement and unusual new ideas, you will not face disappointment. If you try to stick with the status quo, you may face a good deal of anxiety.
By 7:12 AM EST, you know this is going to be an unusual day. Allow surprises and unexpected twists and turns in your conversations and circumstances. Look for a new way to stabilize the results of what you are currently building.
Today’s Moon re-energizes last Sunday’s Jupiter trine Uranus by forming a lovely Grand Trine. If you missed the open door of opportunity on Sunday, look for a renewed opening today.

MANAGE YOUR TO-DO LIST – Wednesday, December 18, 2019
Today is an active day that may feel a bit like being on a roller coaster. The Virgo Moon makes many aspects throughout the day, and as you get accustomed to one way of feeling, things shift in another direction.
The most challenging parts of the day come before 5:30 AM EST and 11:58 PM EST, leaving you feeling positive and accomplished for the bulk of the day.
You can get a lot of practical issues handled today. Sharpen your pencil as you will be able to check off more things on your to-do list than you can imagine.
Shortly before midnight, we reach the 3rd Quarter Phase of the Moon. Now begins the final potent stage of the lunar cycle. It is time to begin untangling the plans that you put into action with your New Moon intentions. The Moon is passing the torch as she loses light and energy, waning into darkness.
RESOLVE FADES TO FOG – Thursday, December 19, 2019
Early this morning, the Moon enters Libra bringing your desire for beauty and pleasure to the surface.
Mars sextile Saturn opens an opportunity for great resolve and stamina. You know what you want to get done, and you have the grit and fortitude to stick with a plan. Don’t procrastinate. Strike while the iron is hot!
Don’t let romance or shopping derail the progress this transit has in mind.
Shortly before the end of the day (11:19 PM EST), Mercury squares Neptune. As the day winds down, you may feel a bit dreamy or confused. For the next 24 hours, don’t try to explain yourself to others and don’t try too hard to understand others either. It may feel as though you are not speaking the same language.
In any communication, be very clear and keep to the basics. Lack of clarity can lead to misunderstandings and feelings of deception and duplicity.
Don’t engage in political discussions today as you will both be metaphorically shouting into the void. When Mercury joins the crew in Capricorn on December 28, we will begin to understand what is currently so elusive.

The Virgo Moon is void-of-course from 3:06 AM EST until she enters Libra at 5:05 AM EST, suggesting that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.
A GLIMMER BEYOND SEVERITY – Friday, December 20, 2019
Venus steps into innovative Aquarius, leaving behind the crowd gathered in authoritative Capricorn.
This shift gives us a glimmer beyond the harshness of this tough Capricorn Season.
Just as the Sun enters Capricorn, Venus leaves it behind. In Aquarius, Venus shifts our values to a more independent and unconventional stance.
Freedom of expression and humanitarian issues become significant themes over the coming weeks. This change may feel like a breath of fresh air as we can see and respond to a broader perspective than we have been.
Venus in Aquarius encourages you to take full responsibility for your most unique ideas and expression. You may surprise or shock others. You can live with that. Integrity and being true to yourself gains importance.
The Moon in Libra allows you to be yourself even as you are diplomatic enough to please others. Don’t worry about losing others’ approval. You can walk and chew gum at the same time.
WINTER SOLSTICE: WELCOME BACK THE LIGHT – Saturday, December 21, 2019
Today marks an important and intense weekend. The Moon enters Scorpio at 7:57 AM EST. You will not be in the mood for shallow connections or small talk. Seek out friends who can join you in excavating deep emotional depths.
By the end of the day, the Sun will have entered Capricorn. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, now is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. From here on, the Sun brings us a bit more light each day.
In the Southern Hemisphere, now is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. The Solstice comes at the moment the Sun enters Capricorn at 11:19 PM EST where it will remain until January 20, 2020.
0° Capricorn is one of the four most potent points of the zodiac. The next 24 hours may bring some important public issues to light. While the Sun is in Capricorn, we determine to face reality, our ambitions, and our responsibilities. In Capricorn, we seek tangible results. It is time to take on the administrative duties of a long term project. Working hard toward long-term goals is an important component of Capricorn. Set an appointment on your schedule to develop your personal goals for 2020.

The Libra Moon is void-of-course from 6:46 AM EST until she enters Scorpio at 7:57 AM EST, suggesting that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.
SPICE UP LOVE – Sunday, December 22, 2019
If your relationship has been feeling a bit stale, now is a great time to spice it up. When I say spice it up, I don’t mean blow it up. If you have been feeling stifled, it would be easy to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
What you are looking for as Venus squares Uranus is an increase in excitement or added stimulation.
Spend time with folks who bring something new to the table. Seek out entertainment or propose new experimentation in the bedroom.
If you must shop, make sure you have a clear list and budget as impulsive purchases will be nearly impossible to resist.
Thanks to Mars sextile Pluto, difficult projects you have been unable to complete can be finished today. You will be surprised to find you have almost limitless energy for action today.
The Scorpio Moon encourages depth and passion in all that you put your mind and heart to.

The Scorpio Moon is void-of-course from 10:28 PM EST until she enters Sagittarius tomorrow at 11:35 AM EST, suggesting that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.

* In these weekly reports, I explore 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 give rise to 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.
