The Moon and Mars' planetary journeys for December

Because of the Moon entering Sagittarius on the 4th, your energetic efforts will be supported in setting an intention or goal of expansion, abundance, growth, and joy. If you choose this day to start a new hobby or venture that is right outside your current horizons, the chances of success are high. This is an ideal time to do ritual and planetary magic in favor of the moon. Whether you light a candle (perhaps black to represent the new moon) and say your intention three times in the darkness of the night, or vow to the moon’s spirit that you will forego something you care about until the full moon a la Lent is up to you.

Be sure to thank the moon for this cycle when it goes full in Gemini on the 18th. Get ready to receive or give a big announcement on this day! Be prepared to answer an unexpected phone call and have a lovely conversation. You may be blessed with some surprise travel here as well. If travel was already in your plans, prepare for a rewarding detour!

12/6 will present an opportunity for boundless energy as Mars makes a sextile with Pluto. Mutual attractions will become direct during this period--don’t be surprised if you get asked out or if your love initiates some serious physical contact. When Mars square’s Jupiter on the 8th, go with the second wind you get, but be careful that all that inspiration and energy don’t get used up, resulting in burnout. 

Same goes for Mars entering Sag on the 13th: slow and steady win the race. After creating a sextile with Saturn for the year’s end, there will be a final uptick in productivity, and any extremes will naturally balance themselves out beautifully.
