Solstice and Full Moon in Cancer 0º - December 21-22, 2018.

This Full Moon picture looks like an eye in the night.

We got to the darkest possible point of this year for the Northern Hemisphere. From now on, light will increase constantly. AND, saving Uranus that will join the party on January 6th, all planets are now moving forward! We have the green light!

However, in the darkest moment the night luminary is at its brightest, even closer to Earth, shining its light powerfully on some important issue we have to acknowledge, complete, or change. This Full Moon in Cancer shows us very clearly something crucially emotional happening in the house where Cancer falls in our Chart. Is it in the 7th house, about long term committed relationships? Or in the 4th house of home and family? Or is it in your 6th house of health, fitness and daily work routines?
While the Moon casts its light on the seat of our emotions, opposite, the Sun in Capricorn is our self authority telling us what is socially acceptable, what is in fact possible to materialize, what are the boundaries, or showing the unavoidable reality.

Sun and Moon square Chiron

The Sun and the Moon square Chiron forming a T-square. And Chiron is approached very soon by Mars, just 3 degrees away, which I consider already a working conjunction. Mars and Chiron dialog about wounded will and passion, inadequate expression of anger or unexpressed sexual desire, resentment, passive aggression, becoming sick with the bottled up desires, unable to express what we really want, frustration, wounded assertiveness. This T-square is a dynamic force, a conflictive planetary energy, helping us to change directions. Something got to give! Something in that zodiac house is too painful and the Full Moon is showing it very clearly.

Often times, the resolution of the conflict can be found focusing on adjusting the theme of the 4th leg missing in the T-square. In this case, it would be helpful to look a the zodiac house occupied by Virgo and its theme in your particular Birth Chart. For example, if Pisces is in the 2d house, Virgo is the 8th house of transformative crisis, energy merges, financial or sexual, with partners.

Mercury square Neptune

We are practically forced to see. However, we may try to avoid seeing it, because Mercury in Sagittarius, close to Jupiter,  approaches a square to Neptune in Pisces, obnubilating our mind, or coloring our understanding with a higher inspiration or unconditional feelings. Fantasy can get creative here. At the same time this square may give us a clearer insight to finally see a higher truth, a higher purpose of the events we are living between the zodiac Houses (themes) occupied by the transiting Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune.  If, for example, Mercury and Jupiter transit the 11th, squaring the 2d, something may happen with friends, in networks or social groups that can either confuse or illuminate the truth on personal finances, self-esteem, the body or self-worth.

Venus trine Neptune

Venus now direct in Scorpio after her retrograde evaluation, has found what she really values about money, in relationships and love. She feels very intensely in Scorpio that it's all or nothing. For now, Venus in trine with Neptune feels unconditional love, and spiritual connections in her relationships, personal or financial. She flies high with her heart full of hope, unconditional love and goodwill.  In a favorable relationship with Saturn in Capricorn, her values are supported, with high possibilities of manifestation, of becoming real with time and much work. Hopeful about love and relationships, very soon, Venus will be powerfully supported by Pluto, the planet of transformations, who, by the way, rules Scorpio and her transit there.

Remember that I only explained here the transits. When you see your chart, the transiting planets will make connections to your Natal Planets, giving a completely personal flavor to the energy experience.
