December Stars

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland explains how he planet Mercury is in full action for all of December and delves deep into the information we are given and how we might be thinking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mercury is starred in most key aspects this month, including his rulership of the Gemini Full Moon and the Mars Retrograde, as well as his own Mars Retrograde. The first week starts with an augmentation of our dream world and any delusions we find ourselves being told, or telling ourselves. Have the lies been pushed too far? The Gemini Full Moon in the second week may force decisions to be made or fresh information to come to light that changes the dynamic of many situations. Mercury will be going retrograde at the end of the month, but enters the shadow zone on 12th, so we need to be aware of what is happening around this time, that then takes on a life of its own. This may also be connected with the Mercury (and Venus) retrograde of December 2021, where we were expecting the banking crisis to begin. Jupiter moves into Aries for some fresh thinking that might even get angry, and then Jupiter joins the New Moon in Capricorn, and this is a time to get any business ideas off the ground as it has that gung ho, starter klaxon energy and will help build things that will last. The square of Neptune in Pisces, the king of delusion, and the Moon has cosied up to them as well. This is a triple layer of inconceivable artifice which prompts and forces more lies. Like telling lies to cover up the lies. It’s a formidable subterfuge that’s going on at the beginning of December. Later, Venus makes the same square in Pisces, enhancing our belief system and making us feel happy being told all these lies.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Pluto comes back to American (and the West’s) Pluto Return, which pushes our world further along its evolutionary path and we may see this turn to revolution.’ ‘We end the year with Venus working with Pluto, which often creates obsessions and powerful shifts or changes of hearts.  Probably an appropriate energy to end a dynamic year on.’ ‘Mercury is a bit of a trickster, he’s a lot of fun and gives us information and connections, and makes thing happen around us, we get news from him. He’s a real player in our lives, but this month there are several key aspects he makes to the big planets.’ ‘This is a good time for anyone to start something business-minded, make a commitment to something and even if you’re not ready to start a business, make a commitment, etc, all you need to do is open a document or an email and start it by giving it a title.’ ABOUT THE HOST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
