WINTER SOLSTICE

The Winter Solstice (Hibernal Solstice) takes place on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at 4:19 a.m. EST in the northern hemisphere. December 21 will have the least amount of daylight as the sun will be at its lowest arc in the sky for our area.

 

Shortly after December 21 daylight will start to increase, and our precious sunlight will return.

 

As nature sleeps and the light is low, we can use the long nights to reflect on our life’s journey. Go inward and plan your intentions for when the energy and the light return.

 

Mother nature knows best. Follow her example. Many animals are now hibernating or slowing down, resting and waiting for the return of light, for the return of warmth, the return of the energy that nurtures us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

 

Our current lesson could be patience. Utilize this time to look deep into the shadows of self. Bring light to the darkest corners of your being without judgement. Fill each corner with love and allow spirit to grow.

 

Is it coincidence that during Yule season (the rebirth of light), many celebrate the birth of Christ for example (the rebirth of salvation)? This is a time of celebration for many, whether it is Yule, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day, Saturnalia, and the list goes on.

 

We have much to celebrate. Be filled with promise, with faith in all that is. Be filled with gratitude, with love and with inner healing light!

 

Blessings to all!

SUN IN CAPRICORN ASPECTS

We continue our post from December 16, 2024 https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-capricorn-december-21-2024   

 

The sun goes into Capricorn on December 21, 2024 and the following aspects will relate to those individuals that have their Sun in Capricorn at the corresponding degrees.  You can allow a 5–8° orb of influence. Within this range, the aspects will be in effect in your chart and will automatically strengthen as they near  the exact degree of your Capricorn Sun.  Review an ephemeris to get the exact degree and timing of the planets that we are about to speak about.

 

We will look at transiting Uranus and Saturn as they have a greater impact than any of the inner planets to this position.  The inner planets move too quickly to have any type of lasting influence, whereas the outer planets move much more slowly and will therefore have a longer and more lasting impact in your life.

 

Currently (December 2024) we see Uranus at 24° in the sign of Taurus and Saturn at 13° in the sign of Pisces.  Both contacts or aspects to Sun in Capricorn are considered positive in nature and carry with them the energies of easy flow, opportunities, change and stability.  Saturn and Uranus will be making a tight sextile to one another as well from March to September of 2025 becoming exact March and April of 2025 in and around 24/25°.  If your Sun is around these degrees (and taking into account the orb of influence), then this will be a prime time for needed change and then a stabilization period shortly thereafter.  You will likely have known that a change of direction was coming prior to this time frame.

 

From the time of this post (again December 2024), Saturn will move through the sign of Pisces entering Aries for the first time towards the end of May, 2025.  Saturn in Sextile to your Sun suggests that there may be some extra lessons that have to be undertaken with your spiritual connectedness and a stabilization period connected to these goals if this is part of your current assignment.  (The reason I use the term “assignment” is due to the fact that Saturn is known as the teacher and also the disciplinarian. Although it often indicates more duties and some testing along the way it also brings with it, using a steadfast approach, the opportunity to build a solid foundation to whatever you might be trying to implement into your life’s lesson).  This aspect is goal oriented and can also suggest changes to your path or changes coming from within.

 

During December 2024, Transiting Uranus will be at 24° Taurus moving into Gemini, which is a much more comfortable place for Uranus, in July 2025.  It moves back into Taurus in November 2025, and then will finally stay in Gemini towards the end of April 2026.

 

Uranus is making a trine to your Sun if your sun is in the later degrees of Capricorn from about 20° onward.  The trine is indicative of easy flow, good opportunities, promising outcomes through change and reorientation.  This may be a time of looking at your life’s path and making changes because where you are no longer suits your current path forward.  Change can be difficult especially when we speak of Uranus in Taurus as Taurus likes things to remain the same but Uranus’ upcoming position in Gemini will likely foster in change in a much easier manner.  Much will depend on the areas of life affected (house positions involved) and the other aspects within your natal chart.  You can expect some disruption and perhaps some of these changes might take place with little notice especially if you have been putting off what needs to take place. 

 

Sun in Capricorn aspects include Saturn and Uranus and together they will create a push and pull situation where you will want things to remain steadfast and at the same time want change.  This can be difficult, but life will take you where you need to go. Make the move before life forces it on you. The outcome can enhance your life.

REGENERATION AND TRANSFORMATION

A shift occurs for many around the age of 29, again around 42 and once more about the age of 59.  These are common times when we go through major regeneration and transformations inside and out. These times can be rather traumatic or in contrast quite liberating.  These are turning points in our ongoing evolution.

 

At the age of roughly 28-29, we find ourselves moving through a period of testing and a time of new beginnings, and in some cases, endings.  We enter a new stage in life where who we were previously no long matches the person we are becoming or we may set out to accomplish something that we deem necessary in our life. We may reach out for change to gain momentum and cement our future.  In a year or two after our 28^th or 29^th birthday, life looks completely different and our groundwork we created during this transition period laid the foundation for what is yet to come.

 

Between the age of 40 to roughly 43, we are again faced with decisions.  Has our life become stale? Is it time for regeneration? 

 

What used to be likely no longer suits our current journey.  During this phase, we are subject to sudden moves and sometimes these are rather unpredictable. There is a degree of uncertainty as to “should we or should we not” with whatever we are contemplating.  When we do decide to move in a new direction, other people may be surprised because what was in place seemed normal or traditional and our current actions seem a little erratic.  But as we go through this period, we find that life’s direction has changed, and our actions have put us on track and have moved us in the right direction.

 

At around age 58 or 59, we go through another major transformation as we approach the senior stage of development.  Some contemplate retirement.  Some are put into situations where life takes them down a road that they did not foresee.  Some change direction and begin anew although not often as dynamic as the previous change period around 42.  This current stage is a time of maturation and development that will now push us forward into our golden age although this may still be a long way off. We are preparing for these days and understand that time waits for no one.

 

During the periods around ages 28-29, 40-43 and 58-59, we move through stages of development sometimes brought on by others, sometimes brought on by our own needs and sometimes brought on through life circumstances.  We learn to adapt, regenerate and push our way forward through the continual regeneration and transformation of life.

SUN IN CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21, 2024

On December 21 the Sun moves from the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius into the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn.  Sagittarius is very much about exploration and as we move into Capricorn, we carry forward the need for exploration but we now move into the area of success and what that might mean. 

 

Cardinal signs are known for action and decisiveness and want to achieve what they set out to do.  They do this with perseverance, persistence and especially in the case of Capricorn with conviction.  Capricorn knows that the ladder of success is not always an easy one, but that with hard work and achievement-oriented goals, the only thing that holds us back is our inability to push forward or obstruction from others.

 

In many cases, the ladder of success has to do with material achievement but there are exceptions. Sometimes, this can be very personal and may entail something important and that perhaps requires dedication and yes, a lot of work. 

 

Saturn is Capricorn’s ruling planet, and it always insists on hard work and a diligent effort in order to achieve what we set out to do, but Saturn’s rewards are often sustainable and produce structures that can stand the test of time. Capricorn knows that the effort is worth the struggle if that is what is required.

 

Most Capricornians are steadfast and reliable and are usually placed over time in a position of authority as they are good at enticing others into action.  They are leaders, and often not very good followers, unless those that are in positions above them can be viewed from a place of appreciation and with a degree of respect.  Capricorn’s themselves want respect and will work hard to make a name for themselves.

 

If by chance you find these characteristics do not fit, it would be important to look deeper into the chart and figure out why, especially if you are not goal oriented.  There can be many significators that can modify this energy, but most Capricorn people have some or many of these traits in common. 

 

Capricorn individuals are emotional but may have a hard time showing others this sensitive part of who they are.  They appear professional and do not like to show any type of perceived weakness.  They do not like criticism although if the criticism is valid, they will do what it takes to correct things.  Capricornians want to be viewed as diligent, and having the ability required to meet certain standards, they will work extra hard to prove this to others.  Some can be too restrictive and need to find ways to lighten up and enjoy life a little more.  Achievement, although the end result, does not have to be the only end in life.  Success is important but sometimes we learn more from our mistakes than from our achievements. 

 

Happy solar return to our diligent, motivated and reliable Capricornian followers.

BELONGING

Whether you are living on your own, have a family to care for or a circle of friends that are important to you, it is important to have a sense of belonging.  We have a need to be a part of something.

 

There are times, however, when we not only feel alone but are alone in the general sense of the word.  We are by ourselves due to circumstances and have no one but ourselves to rely on.  These moments can be challenging.

 

We need to feel loved and appreciated. Humans in general need sensitivity, compassion and care.

 

If we require these needs so do others around us. We too need to show and give what we want and need to others as well.  If you need love and affection, so do others! The wind of compassion must blow in both directions. Be mindful when others need the comfort of your loving touch or your compassionate understanding.

 

To take the human personal need for belonging one more step, it is imperative to feel a “belonging” or connection with who you are within yourself.  You must understand and accept that you are a work in progress, but no matter how many times you stumble and fall, you still deserve love and affection which must begin with you as self love.  You must learn to love yourself before you can truly love someone else.

 

This journey to feel belonging can be a long tedious one. It can manifest through different life experiences. 

 

We all need to feel a sense of belonging. Open your heart to others but just as importantly to yourself as well. Life will open the door and show you the way to love and compassion when you first open the door to love and compassion for yourself.

FULL MOON DECEMBER 15, 2024

On December 15, 2024, we will be experiencing a Full Moon at 24° in the sign Gemini, the twins.  With the Gemini influence there are always at least two roads to choose from.  In some cases, they are completely different paths.  In other cases, they are linked with each other.  Much will depend on the areas of life determined by the Astrological house position of this Full Moon in your chart (which is, once again, 24° Gemini).

 

Gemini is about versatility and diversity and being able to change directions in a moment’s notice.  It is also about the need to remain steadfast once you make up your mind although this can be challenging, so as you can see, immediately there are choices to make, and fortunately, we can adapt to our decisions.  We can also go with the flow suggesting that we can adapt more easily to circumstances which may be determined by our course of action. 

 

This interchange of ideas or circumstance began some six months ago when the New Moon was in the sign of Gemini, and now we have reached a culmination point where we will need to decide to continue or change direction based on what has been leading up to this point in time.  We have likely been feeling the energy concluding in the past two weeks and may have an idea which road we wish to take.  Preparation since the New Moon over the past six months was key.

 

You will need to have planets within about 3° of this placement either by Conjunction, Opposition and to a lesser degree by Square, Trine or Sextile.  The Conjunction and Opposition are by far the most significant aspects to influence this energy. 

 

Fortunately, we also have a Grand Fire Trine that might help in our decision making as it will force us into action and help us to connect to our best choices.  Sometimes the choices we make do not look overly pleasing or we may not know where these choices will take us. Under most conditions, the road we choose to pursue will take us to where we need to go regardless of where that might be.

 

This Grand Fire Trine incorporates the energies of Mars, which will be the driving force, Mercury which will incorporate our decision making and is tied to the sign Gemini and the North Node which often indicates that an important figure is part of this process. It also indicates that the path ahead is significant in nature. 

 

This Grand Trine will help with an easier flow and may present us with opportunities and good luck in our decision making although the rest of the chart will, of course, play into what unfolds. 

The December 15, 2024 Full Moon in Gemini will provide us with different roads to choose from and the Grand Fire Trine will push us into action and offer easy flow and opportunity. Stick to it once you have made your decision.

 

You can expect the energies to influence our chart some two weeks prior to December 15 and last approximately one month after being exact.  Use the energies well and move ahead not allowing your mind and misconceptions to stand in the way.

SEASON OF GIVING

Although our traditional season of giving is still a few weeks away, giving does not have to happen on just one day of the year. We live in a commercialized world which pushes us to spend our hard-earned money during these times on “things”.

 

We can share with others at any time, and the season of giving is not a season, it is any time we decide to share with others.

 

The holiday season, (Christmas, Hanukkah, Bodhi Day, Kwanzaa, Posadas Navidenas, Winter Solstice, Yule, Soyal, New Year, Ōmisoka and the list goes on and on) is a wonderful time for many to celebrate their own traditions with family and friends   

 

Although these celebrations are special, we must not only count our blessings at being able to commemorate these special times but to share life with loved ones on every other day of the year as well.

 

Our time and attention is the best thing we can give to those we love. Create and share memories that will last a lifetime. Do it often and without hesitation.

 

Our money can be shared to help those who live with shortages, again at any time of the year.  How can we help those that live in fear, in dangerous situations, with shortages? These individuals may be someone right next door or someone half a world away.

 

Not just during these seasons, but daily, be thankful for the magic we experience in our lives.

 

This season and every day after it, offer a lending hand to those in need.  Share your compassion and open the door to giving.  Be a part of it all and not just a spectator.  You are blessed to be here. There are no guarantees for the future, so celebrate your life, share the moments and be thankful for what is. 

 

You are one of the lucky ones. Be sure to acknowledge this and share where you can in any way you can, not just during the season of giving but always!

PLUTO TRINE NATAL NORTH NODE

When transiting Pluto is making a Trine to your natal North Node, it is also making a Sextile to your natal South Node.  Both aspects are considered to be quite favorable as they offer opportunities and easy flow when it comes to reaching our objectives.  Life flows in a more positive and promising manner during the period of influence.  The Trine is the more favorable one of the two and suggests that there is good luck, easing of any tension that might otherwise have been in place and now is the opportunity to advance in a direction that is very suitable for your path in life.  Goals can be reached easier, and you are in a better frame of mind and seem to know where you are headed.

 

Pluto’s action is unavoidable and pushes us to make changes suggested by the houses connected to it in the Astrology chart.  Pluto often begins in a subtle manner gradually pushing harder and harder until eventually if you are not abiding to the change, the energies can take control and move you in the required direction.  There are no halfway measures with Pluto; but with the Trine, the path forward is very satisfying. Eventually, you will see that the intended route is exactly where you need to go.

 

Pluto can be forceful especially when you are not wanting to move in the required direction.  There can be ego disputes, and, in some cases, we are not totally clear on where our North Node will take us. As a result, there can be fear or anticipation and anxiety of just what that might be. 

 

The North Node is often a direction which we are not accustomed to or do not know, so it can be uncomfortable when we are asked to make these changes. Rest assured however that you will go where you need to go. With the Trine, this likely will work out very well for you and be much easier than you first might have thought it would be. 

 

Worry and anxiety come from our mind’s interference, and we should not be overly concerned when the Trine is part of the picture.

 

The Sextile is also considered favorable and suggests opportunities for regeneration and transition but not without some effort on our part.  We can choose to act and then the potential is stronger and likely also advantageous, or we can sit back and do nothing which would most likely make these energies pass by with little to no notice or affect.

 

Both aspects, the Trine and the Sextile, are what we wait for and after the energy has dissipated some 2 years down the road, we will appreciate the direction that life has taken us.  Things shift often in profound ways and meeting new people along the way is often a side-shoot of this combination. 

 

With Pluto Trine Natal North Node be ready for change and learn to adapt because this is exactly what you need for the time being. If you are not open, Pluto may push for this change anyway.  Don’t fight the inevitable.
