Winter Solstice

The Planetary Outlook





On December 21, 2018 at 5:24 EST the Sun will entered the sign of Capricorn officially starting the winter season in the northern hemisphere, summer in the southern hemisphere and the last quarter of the astrological year. 




A chart cast for the time and date that the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn gives us a glimpse of the coming trends and events for the next 3 months.  

The Sun, Saturn, and Pluto are all in the sign of Capricorn indicating a focus on government, business, personal responsibilities, and obligations. There is an overall sense of limitations and restrictions during the Sun's transit of Capricorn which will increase as the Sun approaches a conjunction with Saturn on December 31, 2018.

With Saturn in the sign of Capricorn we are required to work hard to reap rewards. This is a time when concentration and persistence will pay off in the long run. In the short term we must be organized, determined, and steadfast to accomplish our ambitions. Saturn is only one third of the way through the sign of Capricorn so we are just beginning to see the affects of this transit. 

With Pluto in the sing of Capricorn we as a whole are seeing the transformation of governments, businesses, as well as physical structures. It is a time for regenerating those things that are no longer useful or out dated. Pluto is two thirds of the way through the sign of Capricorn and we can plainly see the affects of this transit on a daily basis in the media headlines. With Saturn coming within 3 degrees orb of Pluto we will see an intensification of this planetary energy over the next 3 months and beyond as we approach the exact conjunction on January 12, 2020.

The planet Jupiter has returned to his home sign of Sagittarius and is joined by Mercury on the Winter Solstice. This is a great combination for expanding on thoughts, ideas, and setting goals. The only caution here is to not over expand beyond ones means. In most cases to much of a good thing ends up being a bad thing. With Mercury and Jupiter in a square aspect to Neptune there is a tendency to get lost in the details. It is helpful to those in the arts as one can produce work that touches the soul of others. 

The planet Mars is in the sign of Pisces which creates difficulty in focus, consistency, and tends to dissipation of energy. When Mars returns to his home sign of Aries on January 1, 2019 the energy will shift to adventure, action, and forging ahead. As Mars is often called the angry planet it is a good time to avoid being impulsive and argumentative. 


Mercury will enter the sign of Capricorn on January 4, 2019 just prior to the New Moon Eclipse in Capricorn again reinforcing that our attentions will be on the daily grind over the next three months.

December New Moon 2018

The Planetary Outlook

 New Moon in Sagittarius




On December 7, 2018 the New Moon will occur in the sign of Sagittarius and will be within orb of the planet Jupiter bringing us truly into Sagittarius season. This holiday season will have the feeling of prosperity and joy that most have not experienced in quite some time. I expect retailers to do very well during this time as Jupiter rules expansion, customers, and abundance. 

On December 13, 2018 the planet Mercury re-enters the sign of Sagittarius turning out thoughts to the future and setting goals for the New Year. On the 21st of December Mercury will be conjunct Jupiter giving a sense of optimism and the ability to not only expand upon our plans but the energy to put them into action. This is a good time to negotiate agreements, formulate contracts, and creating marketing strategies.

The caution for the New Moon is to keep all things in moderation. Jupiter likes to make things bigger and better but must keep in the bounds of Saturn who rules the next New Moon. For instance if you over extend yourself financially during this New Moon Cycle you will have to deal with limits and restrictions of Saturn in the months ahead. The New Moon is also in a square aspect with Mars and Neptune which can lend to a feeling of confusion and a loss of which way to go, using alcohol, drugs, and fantasy as a means of escape from reality, and/or being deceived by others. So keep your feet on the ground whilst your head is in the clouds during this Sagittarian Season!
