Happy Solstice Happy Hannuka Happy Christmas Happy New Year

Today the Moon is New in Capricorn. This is the time to set your intentions in place for the New Year as this Moon cycle will carry us over the threshold.

And the Sun and Moon are in an auspicious trine to Jupiter (the planet of good luck and adventure), which  turns direct tomorrow for  Christmas day. 

It seems quite appropriate for this expansive jolly generous planet (shades of Father Christmas/Santa Claus?) to start anew on this day of celebration and giving. Jupiter is also about aspiration and our expanded selves. . . and  not just the expanded waistline  (hehe)  though we best watch out for that, as it is going to be harder than usual to not overindulge with Jupiter in Taurus  (wine and food and sensual delights).

There are some irksome aspects as well that could stir up a bit of trouble...  what's a Christmas without a bit of angst !? ... yet overall the climate is excellent for convivial delights and family sharing.

Next week I will do an overview of the year we just had  (whew!!) and a bit of a peek into things to come.

In the meantime I wish you a Very Merry Christmas
