HeartwingsandFriends.com - Tasha's AstroPlanner (December)

This may well be a month to remember. The New Moon on the 5^th coincides with a powerful Uranian (meaning full of surprises) day. The Solstice falls on the Full Moon that is also an eclipse on the 21^st. And this is just for starters. Make use especially of the disruptive energies to do what is good and sensible rather than be afflicted by them. Look to the individual days for guidance concerning the many strong aspects in force this month.

In addition Mercury goes retrograde on the 10^th. If possible between the 10^th and the 30^th choose to do things that start with "re" like repair, restore, refurbish, reorganize, and so on, rather than buy anything new or begin a new project. Try to get your Christmas shopping done before the 10^th. On the positive side, because Christmas falls during retrograde Mercury you may find old friends and/or family members either showing up unexpectedly or returning after a hiatus. If going somewhere unfamiliar be sure to get accurate directions and go over them several times to make sure they are clear.

There is so much going on this month I am going to skip my usual quick review of the days of the month and take you straight to the planner. Blessings to all, may the season of Light take you farther from old habit patterns that no longer serve you and bring you closer to your own truth
