Astrology for Tuesday, 3 December 2019:

The skies are busy today: Mercury in Scorpio makes its third and final sextile to Pluto in this retrograde cycle, completing a story that has been unfolding since October 19 when this aspect first perfected. How are you speaking truth to power? How are you advocating for change and transformation, in your life and in the world? The Moon ingresses into Pisces and immediately forms a sextile to Jupiter, its ruler, in Capricorn. Jupiter is the wise teacher, and in Capricorn, Jupiter offers wisdom that comes from maturity, from having done the work necessary to integrate and grow from life’s difficulties. As the Moon pulls us toward boundless empathy, sensitivity, and emotional connections, Jupiter reminds us to take responsibility for what we are feeling, to remain accountable to our own boundaries and the boundaries of others, and to build emotional connection on foundations of trust. Venus in Capricorn makes a sextile to Mars in Scorpio, and we may feel motivated toward commitment in our partnerships. What actions do you need to take in order to support the kind of love that you want to share in the long-term? The Moon in Pisces then moves through a trine to Mars in Scorpio and a sextile to Venus in Capricorn. Love has the capacity to endure when it is built on ongoing honesty and courageous vulnerability. How much more sustainable could our relationships become if we entered them again and again from the honesty of our felt experiences, rather than all the psychic labor required to withhold or elide parts of ourselves from the love we are trying to build?
