As we edge closer to the end of the year, the celestial skies have their own dramatic story to tell, one of tension and transition. In this week’s episode of the Mainly Moonology Podcast, we explore the dynamic interplay of planetary aspects that could influence your end-of-year reflections and resolutions. Join me, Yasmin Boland, as we delve into the astrology and moonology of the week, uncovering how these cosmic forces can impact our lives.
The Astrology of the Week: Finding Balance Amidst Challenges
This week, the celestial dance brings us into a tense square between Jupiter and Saturn, a challenging aspect that asks us to find a middle ground between expansion and contraction. Here’s what this means for you:
- Jupiter Square Saturn: Occurring on Christmas Day, this aspect can stir up friction between our desire for growth and the reality checks imposed by life’s limitations. This square might manifest as a conflict between wanting to indulge in the festive spirit and needing to maintain discipline, perhaps in spending or personal commitments.
- Venus Sextile Chiron and Square Uranus: These aspects bring a mix of healing potential and unexpected changes. While Venus sextile Chiron on December 24th offers a chance to mend fences and heal old wounds, especially within relationships, Venus square Uranus on December 28th warns of sudden disruptions in our love life or finances. These energies encourage us to stay flexible and open to new ways of achieving harmony.
- Mercury’s Dynamic Aspects: As Mercury opposes Jupiter and squares Saturn later in the week, expect communication to be a minefield of overexpansion and restrictive backlash. These aspects are perfect for reevaluating your communication strategies—think before you speak, and plan your messages carefully.
Moonology of the Week: Reflecting and Releasing
Post the Last Quarter Moon in Libra, we are reminded of the importance of balance in our lives. As we move through the Waning Cycle towards the New Moon:
- Last Quarter Moon Reflections: Use this time to assess the balance in your relationships. Are you giving as much as you’re taking? This phase is about letting go of what no longer serves you, making it a great time to cut ties with unhealthy habits or people.
- Preparing for the New Moon: With the New Moon on the horizon, now is the time to clear the slate. Reflect on what you’ve learned from the challenges of the past month, and set intentions that will launch you into a more balanced and fulfilling path in the new year.
