The holidays are a tough time of year for many people. Some of us feel forced to spend time with bio family that do not understand or accept us. Some of us have been rejected by bio family for who we are. Some of us have abusive bio family and the holiday reminds of this hole in our hearts. Some of us are overwhelmed with the consumerism of the season and feel like if we don’t spend extravagantly, we are missing out.

Capricorn represents what is pragmatic, goal or mission oriented, and traditional. Capricorn is interested in strategy, ethics, discipline, and loyalty. The shadow side of Capricorn is being self-deprecating, pessimistic, too restrictive, status obsessed, prone to depression and loneliness. What is a good way to channel Capricorn energy?

Today the Moon in Aries conjuncts Chiron in Arie at 5:27 pm PST. This is a sensitive and emotive transit. The Moon represents our personal needs, our unconscious, feelings, maternal parent and intuition. Chiron rules our unresolvable wounds, childhood scars, our biggest vulnerabilities/strengths, insecurities, and our spiritual gifts.

Good morning! Today the Moon in Pisces is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Conjunctions are when planets are close together in a chart, typically in the same sign and the planetary energies are fused together. Today is an emotionally complex and heavy day.

Today Mercury in Capricorn trines Jupiter in Taurus. I asked my Guides what insight does the collective need for today? I pulled the tarot card 8 of Stakes or 8 of Wands. The world does not stop because Mercury goes retrograde. Communications are still ubiquitous. Jupiter is increasing and expanding communications. 8 of Stakes is reinforcing this sentiment that we must go forward even when it feels like walking through mud.
