Astrology for Thursday, 19 December 2019:

In the early hours before dawn, the Moon in Virgo makes a trine to Venus in Capricorn, offering support for the practices of love and devotion that we are embodying. What does it mean for you to be in service to that which you love? Mars in Scorpio makes a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn, reminding us that clear and effective boundaries are necessary in order to act from our most vulnerable places in ways that are sustainable. The Moon ingresses into Libra with reception from Venus in the final degrees of Capricorn. Libra calls our attention to connection, cooperation, and collaboration, bringing together different experiences and points of view in order to create inclusive, harmonious relationships. With the ruler of the Moon in Capricorn, we are asked to recognize that in order to foster more inclusive collectives, we must be willing to question or challenge long-standing assumptions and established institutions—even those we hold most dear. The Moon makes a square to Jupiter in Capricorn, reminding us that the growth we are looking to see will take time. The work of justice is slow and ongoing; how are we putting practices into place today that have the capacity to endure in the long-term? As Mercury in Sagittarius makes a square to Neptune in Pisces, confusion in communication may become heightened. Be vigilant about the ways in which you find yourself interacting with your own projections or the ways in which others are projecting their own ideals or traumas onto you. These patterns of projection can teach us a lot about ourselves and others, but they are not ideal for cultivating clarity and understanding.
