Sun in Sagittarius, Administration; Moon in Scorpio, Justice; Foci in 12, Confinement and 1, Identity
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues (until Monday morning)
/moon goes void-of-course at 5:35p PT | 8:35p ET | 1:35a(M) UT
until it enters Sagittarius at 10:32p PT | 1:32a(M) ET | 6:32a(M) UT
A wineglass falls while the chamber music plays.
The man all admire glances toward the sound
With perfect aplomb. Others glare nervously
In all directions. The waning moon stares at
Them as if winking. Some remember where
Their cars are parked. The military movement
Begins; violins screech to imitate trumpets.
Tea shall be served, and wine for the already-giddy.

Although I do not belong to or usually attend one of the ritualistic churches which make a great deal of the "church calendar" gradually set up by the early Church, I do believe that the Advent season begins on December 1--the period preparing for the Birth of the Christ Child. (Although as an astrologer I have doubts he was born on December 25, that does not disrupt the symbolic and spiritual meaning of the holiday, which is partly a celebration of Sol's rebirth in the Northern Hemisphere.) I have had evidences of that, and used to love the childlike Advent calendars which have a new window to open each day until Christmas. At least they put an emphasis on internal, imaginative gifts rather than external commercial ones.
The keyword "confinement" above can mean being alone actually or in spirit, somewhat contemplative, reaching inward more than outward. It is often appropriate for the final days of an Old Moon (the New will be late Monday afternoon).
For those determined to do Christmas shopping I would suggest today as better than either Friday or Saturday, up to the void-of-course time in evening.
A somewhat morose period is relieved by Luna's sextile with Venus in the morning and Mars in the afternoon-evening. This brings out the trine between our neighboring planets on which I have commented; technically it lasts through December 24. It has been obscured partly by other more difficult positions yet is a background harmony into which one could dip more easily today than Friday and Saturday. It's not that everyone is in love exactly but that love in its essence is available in smooth ways for those who can appreciate, accept, or evoke it.
Some more sombre positions and aspects are requiring us to think a lot of our missions, purposes, careers, even on a Sunday. It is healthy, so long as one does not merely worry negatively but rather "worries" creatively, in hope and expectation of solutions, which are very possible during a Bright Hermetic Epoch extending until January 22. Luna with Mercury today strengthens wise planning. Uranus trine Sol lends confidence, and Venus nonagen Neptune graciously pleasing serendipity.

*Strong Protective Preparation*
The stream of events inclines her toward her passions,
A swift glide through dreams, hopes, and desires.
Alert to a threat to her family, she rouses herself to
Sterling defense against a dominant male whose rigid
Control is sadistic. She could aim in this direction or that,
Bold like a lioness defending her cubs. She jumps
In her car and follows the signs to the left. She's in time
To stop this bald-headed male from his drunken campaign
To interfere with all she holds dear as honest endeavor.
The poetic statement may be overdrawn--it is not so much that you would encounter malice as perhaps bumbling attempts by somebody to do something he or she regards as fine when it really is not. People hurt others usually--especially if within the family or a circle of friends--without intending to and even with good intentions. It might be wise to watch for that.
An emphasis on money and career looks mostly positive, as if you had learned some important lessons during the past two weeks while Mercury has been with Saturn, sharpening your sense of how to proceed, your awareness of just the right or best methods to use in your work and financial planning. Now you can use all that, provided nothing pushes you off the track.
To some degree, pleasure and partnership mix with business. People are reorienting themselves within their boundaries, their homes and headquarters, and finding they know how to proceed provided they reconcile themselves to the urges and programs of the others close to them, avoiding them when necessary or encompassing and using them when possible.
After the New Moon in late afternoon-evening, things should be taking better shape in your consciousness. Things may build up to a peak of the week on Thursday, when you may feel you have reason to celebrate. Yes, do that before a slump begins Friday.
