This month marks a watershed moment in terms of planetary cycles, as the movement of Jupiter and Saturn into a new sign signals the end of their connection to Pluto over a year that saw the beginning of three new long-term cycles. Saturn-Pluto brought us a pandemic, Jupiter-Pluto brought a nationwide and even worldwide campaign aimed at settling social and racial differences. Finally, Jupiter’s conjunction with Saturn on the 21st begins a cycle often related in the past to the rise of new leaders and new ways of thinking. That seems like plenty to deal with all in one year, but we need to keep in mind that the cycles associated with these conjunctions all bundled together are only at their beginning, so their effects are not simply going to…

It’s always exciting when December arrives. It brings the end of one year and the start of another. This year, with its challenging concerns about a discomforting virus and “social distancing” may make traditionally joyful holiday occasions somewhat complicated. The parties, religious services, and family events on your agenda might seem to foreshadow stress, but you can minimize and even eliminate such feelings by maintaining a positive attitude, and not expecting everything and everyone to be perfect. About every 20 years, Jupiter’s cycle meshes with Saturn’s, as happens when these two planets blend energies through a conjunction on December 21, shortly after both enter Aquarius. Jupiter represents expansion and enthusiasm; Saturn represents discipline and restriction. When these planets join forces, Saturn tempers your enthusiasm and encourages you to have realistic…

Jupiter moves into Aquarius on December 19; Saturn does the same early on December 17. Jupiter remains in Aquarius until May 13, 2021, but he returns to that sign on July 28 and stays there until December 29, when he enters Pisces for good (so to speak). So between December 19 and May 13, and again from July 28 until December 29, Jupiter will make challenging aspects to natal Saturn for anyone with that planet in a Fixed sign: Transiting Jupiter conjoins natal Saturn in Aquarius: 1/1903-4/1905, 8/1905-1/1906, 2/1932-8/1932, 11/1932-2/1935, 1/1962-3/1964, 9/1964-12/1964, 2/1991-5/1993, 7/1993-1/1994, Transiting Jupiter squares natal Saturn in Taurus: 5/1910-12/1910, 1/1911-7/1912, 12/1912-3/1913, 7/1939-9/1939, 3/1940-5/1942, 5/1969-6/1971, 1-2/1973, 7/1998-10/1998, 3/1999-8/2000, 10/2000-4/2001.

With the New Moon (solar eclipse) joining Mercury in your solar 10th on the 14th you will be excited about people with whom you network at holiday functions, hoping to continue to see them after the new year.

If there is a key mood that promises to unite the various celebrations that will mark this holiday season, it comes from the fact that two quite different planets, Jupiter and Saturn, leave Capricorn and move into Aquarius. In doing so they mark a new path, a turn away from the sometimes tumultuous events we’ve all experienced over the last 12 months. A new day has its promises, but also has its challenges. How we can meet them is explained in the lead article on page 32. Many people are familiar with the story of two talented actors, Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner, from their lives together to its tragic finale, told in a recent HBO documentary and a book by Natasha Gregson Wagner. The astrological side of it (page…

ARIES ★ LOVE: First Week. The cold winds of December chill your passions, but you’ll look twice at a scholar or cross-cultural activist. Second Week. Venus sextiles Pluto on the 10th, enticing Cupid to take aim. Both parties will feel the tingle. Third Week. Venus enters Sagittarius on the 15th, creating love affairs in far-flung locales, with a happy-go-lucky approach. Fourth Week. Venus squares Neptune, creating disillusionment in affairs of the heart. Artists and musicians allure and intrigue you. ★ MONEY: Uranus currently in the house of your cash flow (the 2nd) creates a roller-coaster ride with financial management, but keeping tight control of your bottom line helps you avoid unforeseen pitfalls. On the 12th the Moon conjoins Venus in Scorpio, your house of credit, insurance, mortgages, your partner’s income, loans,…

If this column had individual titles for each installment, then for this month’s it would be something like “Let’s Pretend.” If you take a glance at the double chart on page 31, you’ll quickly notice that it includes two inaugurations: one for the 2009 swearing-in of Barack Obama, and the other for the swearing-in of…someone in January of 2021. After all, even though readers of this month’s magazine will probably already have seen the results of the November 2020 election, and thus will know who won, someone writing in mid-summer 2020 doesn’t necessarily know much of anything. That “anything” includes which of two 70++ (yes, that second plus is intentional) prospective nominees might have won, or whether what some astrologers have been predicting as an electoral muddle (somewhat like the…

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Downtime break. Take a break between holiday shopping and planning to arrange an intimate dinner with your significant other or close friend, Taurus. On the 5th, Venus in your solar 7th forms a trine to Neptune in your solar 11th, so find time for romance and close connections, since the whirlwind of the next few weeks will make it almost impossible to relax. 9th-16th: Perfect solutions. Finding perfect gifts for family members and close friends is always a challenge, but this year may be more difficult since you may not be able to give them to everyone in person.

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Creative planning. Family comes first as you plan for the holidays over the next few weeks, Leo.

With the New Moon (solar eclipse) falling in your solar 5th on the 14th, plan a romantic date night where you can enjoy a meal at a fancy restaurant, attend a concert, or just stay at home watching a film together. If you are not attached, go out with friends, and if there is a…

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Fun and romance. Make time for fun and romance before holiday stress sets in, Scorpio.

Find a place where you can take long walks and enjoy sharing a great meal. 9th-16th: Pace yourself. Venus in your sign forms a sextile to Pluto and Jupiter in your solar 3rd on the 10th and the 14th, so pace yourself as you enjoy socializing at holiday functions. There may not be as many as last year, but you will have the opportunity to relax with friends, colleagues, and even meet like-minded people who…

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Express yourself. Carve out “alone time” so you can continue to focus on your creative projects, Aquarius. On the 5th, Venus in your solar 10th forms a trine to Neptune in your solar 2nd, so your desire to express yourself artistically is high on your priority list. Seek out others with whom you can share your work and ideas. 9th-16th: Giving back.

As each year begins, we nearly always feel as if a strong wave of change is about to transform our lives. This is a natural way to feel as we leave the old year behind and look forward to a new year, and though sometimes that change happens, sometimes the new year is just a case of “same old same old” all over again. However, two unique events in this month of December are quite likely to make the change very real this time, as first Saturn and then Jupiter leave the sign of Capricorn where they have spent the last year with powerful Pluto, and enter the sign of Aquarius, where they will preside over events for much of the year to come. Between the powerful energy that we…

Before going into this month’s transit-to-natal discussion, let’s get the lowdown on Capricorn and Aquarius, both ruled, in what we might call the traditional system of planetary rulerships, by Saturn, with Capricorn as Saturn’s night sign and Aquarius as his day sign. In contemporary astrology, we may often forget this older system, seeing Aquarius as concerned only with the new and the groundbreaking, matters connected in myriad ways with Uranus, the sign’s “new” ruler. However, Saturn continues to hold some sway here, though in a hidden way. This shouldn’t surprise us, as mythologically Saturn is associated with Tartarus, an underworld that we might describe as hidden in plain sight. Why Capricorn and Aquarius? The reason for focusing on these two signs is that both Saturn and Jupiter move from the…

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Quality time. Rise to the occasion during this holiday season and prioritize spending quality time with those you love, Gemini. On the 1st Mercury enters your solar 7th, so ask others to help with holiday preparations. This year may be completely different from past celebrations, so you will be gratified at how everyone steps up to work together. 9th-16th: The extra mile. On the 11th, when the Sun in your solar 7th forms a trine to Mars in your friendship sector (solar 11th), take all the time you need to shop for holiday gifts. Go the extra mile to make sure you select personal presents from people’s wish lists. Seeing everyone’s reactions to what you bought will be the best present you could ask for. 17th-23rd:…

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Family tree. Continue to research your family tree since you want to make it a point of discussion at this year’s holiday gathering, Virgo. On the 1st Mercury enters your solar 4th so look at this as an exciting challenge and as a way of reconnecting with relatives whom you have not seen or even heard from for quite some time. 9th-16th: Share memories. Continue to gather anecdotes, photographs, and memories that you can show your holiday guests and those family members who may be in touch through online sessions. The New Moon (solar eclipse) shines its light in your solar 4th on the 14th so this may also be a new beginning for how those close to you appreciate one another. 17th-23rd: Staying healthy. Jupiter…

YOUR DECEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Practice multitasking. Perfect your multitasking skills as you will be asked to participate in several projects that you should complete by the time the holidays arrive, Sagittarius. On the 1st, Mercury enters your sign followed by its semisquare to Pluto in your solar 2nd on the 7th, so put one foot in front of the other, and you will achieve your goals. 9th-16th: High energy. The New Moon (solar eclipse) occupies your sign on the 14th followed by Mercury forming a trine to Mars in your solar 5th on the same day. Your energy is at its highest level, so hang out with close friends. Enjoy participating in winter sports like skating or skiing before family gatherings become the main focus. 17th-23rd: Money rules. The Sun…
