Cashmere Solstice Astrology: December 2024

Greetings Dear Astrology Friends,

It’s Sagittarius season – you are invited to tap into abundance and optimism, courtesy of our cosmic benefactor, Jupiter!

When the month of December begins with a buoyant New Moon in Sagittarius, you know it is time for an emotional reset. Clear your heart of any burdens you may have been carrying this year and make December the season for letting go and receiving joy.

It is time to forgive, time to be forgiven, and time to walk in the Light.

Mindful Living in brief this month

After the beautiful New Moon on December 1st, we have a few days to gather our joy and prepare for both Mars and Neptune to change direction between December 6 and 9. 

Mars’ retrograde motion in Leo this month offers us an opportunity to assess our energy flow. When we are doing what we love, vitality pours through the heart and daily life is handled with ease. When there is frustration, energetic blockages arise, and it is time to revisit our choices. Use this Mars retrograde in Leo period to focus on ways to free up your flow.

Mars will move retrograde on December 6 and Neptune will move forward on December 7: make sure to ground yourself during this week. Make extra time for reflection and creativity, asking your Higher Nature to support a lifestyle of ease and alignment.

December 10 and 11 present a magnificent opportunity for self-motivation and finding generosity of spirit deep within one’s core. The Sun, Mercury, Mars, the Moon and the North Node will all dance in an inspirational fire grand trine. We are called to surprise ourselves by daring to shine and lead from the heart!

The Full Moon in Gemini on the 15th is aligned with Jupiter, which tends towards expansion. Mercury ends its retrograde phase at this time, emphasizing communication. Be cautious of taking on too much and getting scattered. Focus on tying up loose ends and bringing projects to completion.

Celebrate the Winter Solstice on the 21st by snuggling up in style and reflecting on the true meaning of this sacred time. The days are about to grow longer as the Light returns… There is so much for which to be grateful. Many happy returns to my dear Capricorn friends, readers and clients!

December 26 is the ideal day to take off and put your feet up at home. Avoid the holiday rush and instead take care of your health with your favorite self-care routine as the Moon opposes Uranus.

By December 30, it is time to celebrate another New Moon – this time in the earth sign of Capricorn. With Jupiter and Saturn in a square aspect at this New Moon, motivation abounds! We are offered another opportunity to begin again and to dream our purpose for 2025 into being…

Wishing you all an opened-hearted and generous, cashmere-soft December,
Catherine
