December Astrolights 2020

December is going to be a power packed month. Mars has turned direct on November 13^th and a lunar eclipse in Gemini occurred on the 30^th. This sets the stage for new directions, good and bad, for months, even years, to come. In Gemini it brings an intensification of all sorts of turmoil relative to communication – ballots, counting, litigation and media. The 14^th brings a tidal wave of changes continuing on the 17^th, 19^th, and the 21^st.

The solar eclipse on the 14^th is in Sagittarius. This brings crises’ in culture, values, customs, and education (including media). But, based on the changes demanded by the “modified” opinions of the general public by the media, the conflict has become overwhelming and intolerable. The year’s buildup of venom and resentment have created an explosive atmosphere.

On the 17^th and 19^th, respectively, Saturn and Jupiter move into Aquarius. The implications for social unrest and scientific emphasis are staggering. Saturn is again in his rulership. Saturn in the sign of humanitarianism brings a pressure that runs contrary to the current social preference toward tribal dominance. This bring tremendous suppression and censorship of free expression which is so desperately needed for the easing of social tensions. Saturn’s arrival compresses the energies that live under the Aquarian rule of Uranus. On the 19^th Jupiter also moves into Aquarius. True to form, Jupiter will expand what it touches. Unless order is brought on quickly, the explosive possibilities are off the scale.

On the 21^st the Moon moves into Aries, the first quarter of physical action approaching Mars who is also still in Aries. This creates an approaching Square to Pluto in Capricorn. On the same day the Winter Solstice occurs with the Sun moving into Capricorn and Jupiter conjuncting Saturn in Aquarius. Winter Solstice always speaks of new cycles.

On the 30^th the Moon will become full in Cancer making for a very emotional end to the month and year.
