Moon in Aquarius   * * * *
Sun enters Capricorn (Winter Solstice) at 8:29a PT | 11:29a ET | 4:29p UT

Those who veer off the beaten course may have something to give you (intentionally or otherwise). A youthful yet mature friend senses that he or she is right about things, contemplatively self-possessed. 

There is burgeoning nobility, a desire to do something benefiting your nation or world. 

Someone with skill as an ambassador or diplomat may get your attention. Masculine and feminine energies and proclivities alternate with each other either in your mind and behavior or someone else's, "A boy and girl standing with arms entwined." It may be too early for huge romantic developments; Mars and Venus however will be in a favorable sextile aspect from December 25 through January 24, and even earlier by a septile aspect on the 24th, Christmas Eve. No promises, but this is always good at least for social contacts and friendships if not full-scale romance.

Some are brimming over with energy no matter how limited their resources. They are warmhearted, generous and impulsive. Such friends are treasures, pulling one out of inertia. Others share themselves spontaneously and acquiescently, "A girl's face breaking into a smile." 

Some are deep and sympathetic, no matter how masked and playful on the surface. Being in rapport with them is effortless, "The moon shining across a lake."

The most crucial distinction is between one or two-star times versus three, four, or five-star times. It's wise to "lay low" on the former (except in one's inner, spiritual life), but expand and be more daring on the latter. Sometimes long-term aspects will depress the ratings for weeks at a time, or raise them. The indications are intended to be most accurate from dawn of the given day until midnight. Then, from midnight until the next dawn, that quarter-day may partake of the nature of one or both days on either side. It is a transition period, usually reserved for sleep. Note: I am not giving any five-star ratings until the Dark Hermetic Epoch ends on January 10. The other ratings remain the same, but the uncertainty in the DHE makes * * * * * unrealistic.
