This week’s headline items: Three planets end their various Station phases this week: Neptune, Mars, and Mercury. We start with Neptune on Wednesday (the planet remains in direct motion); we continue with Mars on Thursday (it stays Retrograde); finally, Mercury on Friday (it stays direct.) In other headlines, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn early on Saturday, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and a last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact late Sunday afternoon/early evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 5 hours), Thursday night/Friday very early morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over 5.5 hours).

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day; it will journey there until Tuesday evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and therefore, our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key for the next two and a half days!

Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar, and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday morning until 10:35am EST, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges…

On the one hand, the desire to collaborate with like-minded people who share our vision for a better future — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 8:34am EST)

Monday 10:35am until 4:35pm EST, is a great time to focus on spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and to lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, focus on the here and now, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. (Moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces, exact at 1:34pm EST)

Monday late evening from 8:15pm EST on, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:14pm EST)
