Weekly Horoscope Preview, December 15-21, 2024
December 15 | Full Moon in Gemini; Mercury Direct in Sagittarius; Moon Enters Cancer
December 17 | Moon Enters Leo
December 20 | Moon Enters Virgo
December 21 | Sun Enters Capricorn
Gemini Full Moon
Welcome to our final full Moon of the year. It’s an illumination, release, closure, and realignment of what exists within our minds. And it invites us to witness the stories and thoughts that shape our lives.
As the Moon meets her fullness, she remains there for only several sacred moments before beginning to release what is no longer supportive or needed in her next chapter. We are invited to do the same.
If we desire to bring new realities to life in the year to come and beyond, we must become present, intimate, and intentional with our narratives and what we broadcast into the world. We need to observe with honesty what exists within us and what we have accumulated. Only then can we release or rewrite what is no longer in alignment with who we are and where we are going.
Mercury Direct
Since November 25, 2024, Mercury has been in retrograde motion. From this vantage, it has been inviting us on an inner journey of exploring, contemplating, reviewing, and realigning our perspectives.
Spinning backward in the sign of Sagittarius, Mercury retrograde has been asking us to review the framework through which we perceive life and form our larger truths. It has been compelling us to examine the way hope, faith, opportunity, and belief in goodness and possibility exist within us. And it has been inviting us to review the previously unquestioned constructs in our minds that shape our realities.
Mercury emerges from the underworld of its retrograde hours after the full Moon on December 15, 2024. As it does so, it brings a treasure of realizations, perspectives, information, and insights that could have only been found from pausing and looking within. This is the medicine of retrogrades.
As Mercury continues in its forward movement, we can begin intentionally recreating our lives, updating our beliefs, and dreaming in new ways.
Sun Enters Capricorn
When the Sun shifts signs in our cosmos, everything seems to shift along with it. Our energy, our hearts, our minds, our perceptions, and our very beings. Our bodies begin to emanate as if we are channeling that sign’s energy through us. Depending on our personal relationship with the sign currently influencing the Sun, we can feel ease and comfort or discomfort and uncertainty. Whatever our experience, it is an opportunity to bring awareness, healing, and realignment to how we relate with aspects of ourselves and life.
As the Sun leaves the expansive and adventurous fire sign of Sagittarius, it enters the grounded, responsible, and determined earth sign of Capricorn beginning on December 21, 2024. It will remain here until January 19, 2025.
Capricorn is the sacred builder of the zodiac. It weaves visions into tangible form and desires into practical action. It is ambitious and disciplined, patient and consistent. And it invites us to stand in greater self-authority, leadership, and ownership of our role in the building of our lives.
Under the Sun in Capricorn, we experience a sense of practical planning and building as we review our lives and plan our visions for a new chapter. As we do so, we are asked to review our definitions of success, purpose, and legacy.
To receive the medicine of Capricorn, we must be willing to meet ourselves with loving self-responsibility and honestly look at how we move through the world. Only here can we realign our actions and take steps toward our desires.
