As I indicated in my last two posts, we have a lot going on in December & January. The next new moon will be in the sign Sagittarius on December 19. Between now and then we are in the final 10 days of the Scorpio lunar month which started mid-November that feels about three years ago. The Mars square Saturn on Dec 8 is loaded for bear. On Dec 10 Neptune stations direct and we are heading into its final anaretic days which will be potent. Also on the 10th is the final Mercury oppose Uranus which started Oct 29. How has your thinking evolved since then? On Dec 14, Mars tangles up with Neptune which suggests actions that are misguided or dissolve in front of us. On Dec 16 is the final Sun square Saturn between Sag and Pisces, which could feel like a crisis of faith. Or goals feel unattainable. There are also pleasant notes like Mercury trine Neptune (12/11) Mercury sextile Pluto (12/13) and Venus trine Chiron on (12/18) which will bring buoyance along the way and give us some lift.
Here's the landscape for the waning moon.

Disseminating: Reflect on what has transpired this month and earlier. What have you learned? How can you share some of your knowledge? What past experiences are you sharing? Are you in the need to teach? Or is it find a teacher? Maybe we find a rabbi or a minister or therapist who gives us more insight.
Focus on: How are you sharing the importance of being bold? How are you sharing the importance of flexing strength? How are you sharing creativity? How are you sharing the power generosity? How are you sharing the power of being a hero?
Planetary Notes:
12/7: Mercury trine Saturn (25 Pisces). Sharp thinking & communication that is based on responsibility will bring joy.
12/8: Mars square Saturn (25 Pisces). Mouthy ideas, over zealot opinions can inspire actions that lack sensibility. Wet blankets are wet and cold. Actions that are righteous but out of integrity will hit a wall. Reality checks, boundaries and consequences show up to unrealistic actions and foolhardy dreams. This is the last square of the two-year cycle that began April of 2023 when they were conjunct in Pisces. The next cycle begins April 19, 2026 in the sign Aries.
12/10: Neptune station direct 29 Pisces 22) (See separate post)
12/10: Mercury oppose Uranus (28 Taurus) This is the third time this aspect is perfected. #1 Oct 29, #2 Nov 19 and now today. How has your thinking and communication shifted? What have you released? What new awareness empowers of your thinking?
12/10: Venus square North Node (13 Pisces) Love & values that feel big and loud can miss the power of intuition, nuance and gentle.
12/11: Mercury trine Neptune (29 Pisces). There is a power that comes in being quiet, tapping the metaphysical, psyche and faith.
Last Quarter Moon Phase
December 11, 2025
12:51pm PST
Last Quarter moon: Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense. And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action. It is a time for living “The serenity prayer”
God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.
Focus on:
What actions are you taking that rely on details? What actions are you taking that need analytical and practical thinking? What actions can you take that speak to problem solving? What actions are you taking that seek order?
Planetary Notes:
12/11: Mercury enter Sagittarius. Joy, fun, adventure, learning and exploring is highlighted for the next three weeks
12/13: Mercury sextile Pluto (2 Aquarius 12). Fresh new thoughts that may be inspired by groups of people or friends.
12/14: Mars square Neptune (29 Pisces). Zealotry that motivates actions can be problematic. Big mouths meet Big Fantasy not good.
12/14: Sun trine Chiron (22 Aries). Finding independence and being authentic is inspiring and seeds new adventures.
12/14: Mars enters Capricorn. Practical, responsible, problem solving actions are highlighted for the next six weeks.

Balsamic Moon Phase
December 15, 2025
2:29pm PST
Balsamic: We let go. By releasing we can prepare for the new.
Focus on: How are you releasing strong feelings? How are you releasing passion? How are you releasing the need to control? How are you releasing intensity?
Planetary Notes:
12/16: Mercury exits shadow 6:51 Sagittarius
12/16: Sun square Saturn (25 Pisces). The final square between Sag and Saturn in Pisces. How can you find faith inspiring but not delusional? A twice of year aspect. Strident know-it-alls are doing what to humanity? How does an atmosphere of chaos and confusion not serve bigger goals? Where are we being checked? What are the consequences we are observing? Learn what you can because it will be thirty years before we are here again.
12/18: Venus trine Chiron (22 Aries) Love seeks and can find authenticity
Sagittarius New Moon Dec 19 (5:43pm PST) 28 Sag 24
