The Home

December 23: Luna in Cancer opposes Sol in Capricorn at the second degree; Sol conjuncts Jupiter in Capricorn at the first degree so that we feel generous in a material way. The new Capricorn cycle brings profit to business: Scrooge goes on a shopping spree.

Full Moon in Cancer brings an emphasis on home and family. This year, retrograde Mars is conjunct the Moon, bringing an irritated quality to the feelings for those who may be ruminating about the past and feeling slighted.

However, the Sun in Capricorn is in a stellium consisting of Mercury and Jupiter, with Pluto in Sagittarius trailing along. For people who make an effort to balance their emotions in a controlled way, this full moon offers many material blessings of security. Without such emotional control, however, people could find themselves angry and resenting the control of others. Young people in particular could be difficult to deal with and parents would do well to make an effort to be firm but fair.

Venus in Scorpio squares Neptune in Aquarius, saying that we should be careful of being too attached to our desires. There is the possibility of deception or fraud for those who do not exercise common sense in interpersonal relationships.

Luckily, retrograde Saturn in Virgo trines the Capricorn stellium, helping us to rely on old patterns of good sense and self-control in order to maximize the holiday fun.

Uranus in Pisces trines Venus in Scorpio, giving us the emotional depth to change our ways of expressing affection if we should so desire.
