Astrology for Sunday, 8 December 2019:

Today the Moon ingresses into Taurus, the sign of its exaltation. With reception from its ruler Venus, this is a stable, supported, nourishing Moon, drawing us toward reconnecting to our sensuous experience, feeling deeply into our bodies, and investing in our practices of pleasure. The Sun in Sagittarius makes a square to Neptune in Pisces. This aspect creates the conditions for dazzling illusions, for misunderstanding or confusion. What you see may not be the truth. Or it may be that you find what you know to be true is in conflict with evidence that is being presented to you. It’s difficult to know how to proceed when truth and evidence seem to be at odds; it would be best to wait, allow this fog to pass, and see what new understanding becomes available in the days ahead. The Moon in Taurus makes its monthly conjunction to Uranus, which can unsettle our systems, agitate or disrupt the steadiness and ease that we might otherwise experience as the Moon moves through Taurus. It may be that your body is demanding new approaches to grounding and stability; the old ways of accessing rest and pleasure may no longer be working. Finally, Venus in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, a romantic aspect that invites us to share our dreams and fantasies with those we love. While Venus in Capricorn is drawn to the practical work that it takes to build and sustain meaningful connections to others, Neptune is inviting us to be swept up in one another, to lose track of time, to dissolve into each other in the ways that we can, and to listen to our fantasies as guides to new practices of love.
