As we step into this Christmas week, the skies want to illuminate our paths with a mix of both beautiful opportunities and possible tense situations that ultimately are catalyzing movement towards our best life. If you’re feeling like I am, I can’t believe we’re at the end of 2024! Talk about a fast moving year! I feel we will continue to shift into more fast moving energ
y as the astrology cycles continue to weave patterns in the sky in next years to come. We’re in unchartered energy! The enegy this week is a wrap up of alot of themse in 2024, but we're still moving towards new insights and directions.
This week’s energy offers us some deep insights and reflective moments, which are helping guide us toward authenticity amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I am not going to lie, it’s a bit of a gnarly sky if you’re not in the drivers seat. As the week commences we can practice intentional mindful practices I've been discussing recently about self awareness and being true to you. I wanted to present both the high and low side of energy manifestations. Let's face it, people are charged up! I love the energy as it really asks us to show up! *Noone comes to save us. We are the hero in our journey. This is both empowering and does ask us to be courageious in our course of action! I digress.
Let’s look at the key transits this week and how they might manifest in our lives.
Monday, December 23 – Sun in Capricorn Squares the Nodes of Fate
As the Sun moves into a square with the nodes of fate in Libra and Aries, we are being presented with a moment of reflection for pivotal moves. This alignment calls us to assess where we stand in our journey towards authenticity in our worlds. What changes are unfolding in your life? How can we align more closely with our true self? What is presenting that feels it may be the course I am moving forward with? Watch for it. The energies of destiny are at play, encouraging us to take bold steps toward transformation.
This day invites us to honor the balance between our personal desires (Aries) and our relationships with others (Libra). As you gather with loved ones in the spirit of Christmas, consider how you can honor your authenticity, letting your light shine through—how can you express your truth without compromising your connections? How can you honor your loved ones truths and not feel that yours are being compromised by allowing theirs to exist along side you? This is an intimate energy that can offer us such a gorgeous awareness we may not have had in quite some time. Our confidence can soar with this.
Tuesday, December 24 – Jupiter Retrograde Squares Saturn
On Christmas Eve, Jupiter in Gemini retrogrades to square Saturn in Pisces, creating a tension that will absolutely prompt introspection. This aspect may present challenges but also paves the way for newfound opportunities. It’s all in the way we approach the scenarios that may present, internally and externally. The wisdom of this square lies in recognizing where we might need to take action, or what areas of our lives require a reevaluation of our goals and structures! I love this energy. So many have felt either pulled by obligation or bored with stagnation! *This depends on where these planets present in your personal chart.
Ask yourself: How can the tension created by this aspect inspire you to pursue a more meaningful direction? Perhaps a conversation with a loved one reveals new insights that lights a fire in you. This might also encourage a simple approach to holiday planning: Instead of overspending or overcommitting, find ways to celebrate that align with your values without compromising your financial or emotional well-being.
Thursday, December 26 – Mercury Squares Jupiter and Saturn
As we transition into the day after Christmas, Mercury in Sagittarius gets involved with the dance in sky as it forms a square with both Jupiter and Saturn. Mercury is all things communication, information or news that we may find our or share. This intense alignment suggests that conversations may be infused with tension but also the potential for growth. Be mindful as you engage with family, friends and peers during the holiday reflections.
This energy can trigger thoughts that lead to profound realizations or revelations that bring clarity to your goals and alignment, or misunderstandings if expressed in frustration or lower energy. Embrace the enlightening moments that arise, but remain aware of the potential for miscommunication. Listen actively and express your thoughts with both honesty and compassion. Be the solid version of self. Stay grounded!
Saturday, December 28 – Venus in Capricorn Squares Uranus in Taurus
As the week winds down, Venus in Capricorn will encounter a square with Uranus in Taurus, creating an intriguing blend of tension and excitement. This dynamic may offer unexpected shifts in relationships or finances, prompting you to reassess what truly matters in your connections.
However, this square can also manifest as conflict, particularly regarding values or expectations in relationships. The key lies in embracing the excitement of change while being mindful of potential upheaval. Reflect and consider how you can explore new ways of connecting and expressing love with new perspectives on partnerships in your life.
Navigating the Week with Grace
As we journey through Christmas week, the intricate dance of the planets invites us to reflect on our authenticity, embrace opportunities within challenges, and communicate with clarity and compassion. While the cosmic energies may bring a mix of positive spins and potential pitfalls, we have the power to navigate these influences with intention. That is the beauty of astrology, in my opinion. It gives us the weather map of energies that are playing out, allowing us to be mindful and act with intention in our lives.
Allow the sparks of inspiration and authenticity to guide your holiday celebrations. Embrace the love, joy, and connection that the season brings, honoring both your needs and the needs of those around you. Enjoy this magical time of year as the stars align and remind us of life's beautiful tapestry, woven through our experiences, relationships, and cosmic connections.
I am so grateful to be able to celebrate the year with my loved ones. I’ll be missing Woodward as much as I have for the months he’s been gone, but I will celebrate his life and spirit and allow that to sine through in all my connections.
We are so blessed when we can step back and see with clarity. The gift f the holiday is here, and whether you’re alone or with loved ones, may the spark of inspiration, renewal and reset, cheer and adornment of memories made be yours.
I am grateful for so many things this year and I look forward to the growth and change that 2025 will present for us all!
Merry Christmas and Happiest of Holidays to you and yours!! 🌌✨
