December-January Cosmic Clock

Cosmic Clock for December-January
No matter your Sun Sign – December 2019 through January 2020 shines the light where you want to take a risk to get out of your comfort zone, and at the same time (still) play it safe! The two go hand-in-hand, even if they seem to be unrelated or opposite.
In December, you’ll be balancing career opportunities with responsibilities at home to make sure bills get paid, and something’s left over for a rainy day or self-indulging. Like walking a high wire rope – you make sure there’s a safety net below – and avoid worse case scenarios if you misstep and fall.
We begin December with high optimism that carries through much of the month and into January, too! This is a welcome relief after a somber November that delivered (or threatened to deliver) unpleasant realities, resulting in a need to re-set your life’s trajectory as a result. Collectively, we take a hard look at old systems that no longer serve their intended purpose and need to be phased out – quickly! A feeling of “go big or go home” strikes the first “blow” to demolish an old status quo that is outdated and nearly useless.
There’s a desire to “share the wealth” by creating more access to what has been limited for one reason or another. The blend of Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius energies happening December thru January will open more doors to the world and welcomed new ideas and philosophies to blend in ways that transform many parts into a new whole.
Astrologically speaking, December and January would be busy without the holidays, and the workload is such that it’s best to prioritize and do what is a must and avoid burn-out. Time management is your friend! Watch the tendency to be hard on yourself and others and push beyond limits, that’s a sign you have made work a priority over responsibilities at home.
Above all, December thru January there’s a strong urge to merge the spiritual with the physical worlds and not separate as before. We want to fulfill our mission to ourselves and each other and have more meaning in our life that aligns with what we believe.
Astro highlights for December and January
Jupiter enters Capricorn – Dec. 3 (thru Dec. 19, 2020) – Jupiter brings blessings wherever he goes, and he brings optimistic fresh eyes and new vision to update systems overdue for an overhaul, including people and routines. The proverbial “bottom line” will add a new line-item to include spiritual values in addition to how much money is in the bank. One of those values entails “sharing the wealth” to give back and reward those who are customers and employees in a business setting, and family members and community in our personal world. These goals are meant to be a long-lasting legacy beyond 2020.
Mercury enters Sagittarius – Dec. 9 The planet ruling our thinking process says “Go big or Go home” when he moves into this expansive fire sign! Still, we’ll have a Plan A and Plan B if projects don’t go 100% as hoped. We take calculated risks but remain highly optimistic – knowing that is essential to ignite excitement and imagination in others we must convince to gain their support.
Full Moon Phase Dec. 11-13 Sun in Sagittarius Moon in Gemini – inspires us to see a bigger picture (Sagittarius) and more possibilities than before (Gemini). A higher calling beckons us to aspire to new heights and leave limiting thoughts and feelings behind.
Venus enters Aquarius – Dec. 20 – The holidays receive a sensual blend of Venus energy who rules love, beauty and the arts with the zodiac sign of humanity and friendship – Aquarius. Who could ask for more in how we will feel the Christmas spirit that inspires us to open our hearts and home to welcome more people than usual and express our appreciation through various acts of giving?
Sun enters Capricorn – Dec. 22 (through Jan. 20, 2020) Triggering new ambitions and physical activity to make them happen. A major lesson for this period will be about balancing your arena of work in the world with home life and family relations. This is where you see it is “easier said than done” to keep promises about spending more time with people and projects you’ve neglected!
New Moon Dec. 25-27 in Capricorn (Moon in Cancer) – The old saying, “when one door closes, another one opens” applies to this New Moon and there’s nothing subtle about it to doubt what’s happening! Our ambitions in the world can co-exist with our home & family life, and emotional fulfillment will play a big part in setting new priorities that are meant to support human needs for giving and receiving nurturing and quality of life that “money can’t buy”.
Mercury enters Capricorn – Dec. 28 The mental planet enters hard-working ambitious Capricorn and the urge to set goals and get super organized has everyone busy making plans! We are serious about being serious, and easily forget to have fun and experience the holiday spirit. Expect reminders about recent promises made to be more balanced in the world and at home.
Mars enters Sagittarius – Jan. 3 –Mars is the planet that drives us to work hard and play hard and now enters the sign of “play really hard” (Sagittarius)! There’s a tendency to put too much on our plate to possibly finish and make too many plans and buy too many supplies (toys) for our new adventures. We are fired up and ready to move mountains and if anything gets in the way. This energy can do more harm than good if we miss the “big picture” and act without considering consequences.
Uranus Direct (in Taurus) on Jan. 10 The planet of sudden changes will change direction to bring more certainty to global influences affecting the economy, trade and territorial boundaries. There appears to be fewer “paths of possibilities” to help narrow the predicted outcomes. Still, these moving targets are far from being completed until Uranus leaves Taurus in 2025! Sometimes dramatic global change seems like watching paint dry!
Full Moon Phase, January 10-12 with Sun in Capricorn and Moon in Cancer that (again) highlights the balance at home and work, and/or activities that take you away from family. We’ll identify where and why we neglect some responsibilities to pursue certain priorities that may not serve their intended purpose. With Uranus going direct at the same time, the likelihood of sudden changes makes this Full Moon a potential game changer to force issues you thought you had more time to resolve!
Saturn Conjunct Pluto – Jan 12, 2020 – The planet of structure and time (Saturn) meets the planet of transformation & rebirth (Pluto) with an exact conjunction (meaning same place in the zodiac). No - it doesn’t signal Dooms Day, as these two power players began joining forces in Dec. 2018 with one more year to complete! Still, this action is getting lots of astrological “hype” and some people fear its affects. The world has survived these conjunctions every 33 to 38 years, and the long-lasting effects are best seen in 20/20, rather than while we’re in it. Yes, there are shifts and reversals of power happening, and it’s an opportunity for us to learn acceptance of the “natural life” of everything before it recycles into another form and to take over in its place.
Venus enters Pisces – Jan. 16 – The goddess of love is now in her Exalted place in the zodiac to reveal how beautiful the world is and how much there is for us to enjoy! We feel compelled to smell the roses more and likely to indulge in pampering ourselves and experimenting with a new look…that often has fantastic results!
Mercury enters Aquarius – Jan. 16 – The planet ruling our thinking goes into hyper-mode in electric and futuristic sign of Aquarius – and often shows-up with our mouth not able to catch up when we speak and difficulty sleeping at night. Techniques to slow the mind will help those “symptoms” and allow your intuitive side to tap into the “genius within” that is often missed with so much mental noise in your head.
Sun enters Aquarius – Jan. 20 (thru Feb. 18) Hectic becomes more hectic if that’s possible and its challenging to put stability back into your ever-changing routines! Still, the trajectory has been set and you’ll find creative ways to “invent more time” to allow you to do more. This is a magical time that brings many new faces into your world and expose you to alternative ways of thinking, feeling and living more by spreading your wings!
New Moon Phase Jan 24-26 with Sun and Moon in Aquarius leaves the body tired but the mind and emotions on overload. Activities that help you “sync-up” these energies will be the type that distract (yet relax) your over active mind, and also tap into your sixth sense!
Dec-Jan. forecasts to read for your Sun and Moon and Ascendant Signs.
Aries (March 20 – April 20) This is a highly optimistic and productive time as you decide to “make hay while the sun shines”, at work and at home. You exude the holiday spirit and look for ways to outdo others, as Aries loves to do! You are figuring out that you have been fighting with yourself and tired of losing those battles - but at least you gained insight into what makes you tick and how to move beyond self-imposed limits on your happiness. You are developing a new philosophy about yourself and life to embrace!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) What some would describe as stubborn, you call “staying the course” and for that, you have achieved what you wanted and make no apologies. Now is when you set new goals that have new values that have been in the back of your mind, waiting for the right time to bring forward. You hope to share more, but not give away what is not yet earned, so the value is not lost, unappreciated and under-utilized.
Gemini (May 20 – June 20) This is the time of year that is more difficult and demanding than usual for Gemini, and its likely to feel even more of a challenge than you can recall in quite some time. Life is challenging you to challenge yourself and that’s hard for a busy and fun-loving Gemini to admit! Your routines are becoming ruts and your fears of failure surface when you think about changing them. Still, your extreme FOMO is alive and well, and you decide to take calculated risks rather than do nothing at all!
Cancer (June 20 – July 22) The holidays for Cancer are usually a mix of ups and downs because of memories of loved ones and happier times that are long gone. This is a period where you (more than most) are taking a hard look at changes you want to make to maintain and build on a happy home life. Read the descriptions above for the New & Full phases as they are very impactful to Cancer (Sun, Moon & Ascendant signs).
Leo (July 22 – August 22) You love the holidays more than most, but once they are over early January – your focus is all about work and business interests! You are likely to team up with polar opposites to see how they can help you get ahead, using their different styles and tactics that are foreign to you, but effective. You blend and shape their advice to get ahead and make it uniquely your own (new) authentic style and practice. The New Moon phase Jan. 24-26 is extra insightful for Leo (sun, Moon and Ascendant).
Virgo (August 22- September 22) December is extra frazzled for organized Virgos who find their routines are not able to stay routine! This throws you off “your game” and the challenge is to think outside your box. It helps to relax, which is easier said than done, and allow the “Mother of Invention” to send you some inspiration for solutions to get (most) everything done. You are a happy camper again in January as the world seems focused on work and setting goals and sticking to plans!
Libra (September 22 – October 22) Even Libra likes to buck authority and bend (or avoid) rules, and that tendency is highlighted in December and January. The consequences are quick to show up, including the “price to pay” and the question becomes – is it worth it? While proving a point, it can easily become a rabbit hole that leads to nowhere but dead ends and more unintended consequences. You like to take opposing sides, but what’s the harm in playing by the rules?
Scorpio (October 22 – November 20) Scorpio is never afraid of a fight but might be afraid you are fighting the wrong issues and people now. As you soul search to find the source of your anger, it points right back at you! This is a game changer that clears the picture and releases so a lot of anger and resentment. Watch the tendency to make it harder on yourself by sharing your revelations with people who only make it worse with their reactions. This is a time to heal old wounds and release their hold on you.
Sagittarius (November 20 – December 20) So much importance has been placed on your ruling planet (Jupiter) leaving Sagittarius that you may think you will now lose your Midas Touch! Not so! Now is when your Midas Touch is more potent to activate what you started in 2019! Woo Hoo! Still, this is a time for action, and it helps to work closely with hard workers to stay on pace with demands and deadlines. Like running a race, you’ll run faster and longer than you would on your own.
Capricorn (December 20 – January 19) Stars really do align for you this December and January, and you can thank yourself for the hard work put in to make it happen. Still, the universe helps you when you help yourself, as you are finding out more and more! This is a golden time of year for you Capricorn, and 2020 is full of opportunities that seem to be yours for the asking. There is a tendency to bite off more than you can chew right now and jeopardize overall success.
Aquarius (January 19 – February 18) Energy levels are lower than normal, but you push yourself to meet deadlines and demands of the holidays. You know what they say about all work and no play, and you are less tired when stimulated by fun and energetic people, rather than retreat into solitude. Still, you’re very introspective now and eager to identify aspects of yourself that you want to develop and fully emerge, and that requires quiet time!
Pisces (February 18 – March 19) It’s easy to feel whiplash in December with so much activity in your world. There doesn’t seem to be any small problems – only big ones – and that includes emotions that people get carried away with and want you to drop everything to come to their rescue! You are often your own worst enemy when it comes to turning off the calls and interruptions, afraid that you are the only one who can truly help!

This New Moon and Solar Eclipse is unlike most because of the ending of a major cycle that began May 2020 that started the process of letting go of people (including groups) and of activities that were no longer “working for you”. No doubt you have engaged in saying goodbye to a number of folks and projects – and are now in final stages of letting go of the last remnants of incompatible people and certain pursuits.
