Three significant factors are exact this coming Sunday, but their effects extend from now until early next week. Mercury turns direct, there’s a Full Moon, and it makes a disruptive aspect to Uranus.
Mercury Direct
Mercury in Sagittarius turns direct on Sunday. This should relieve many people because Mercury retrograde periods tend to be problematic. Many clients and subscribers have complained about the havoc Mercury Retrograde plays with their phones, computers, data, and everyday affairs.
Mercury turning direct is also significant because there are usually substantial shifts and changes with our plans, decisions, negotiations, projects, and relationships around the days Mercury goes retrograde and direct.
Also, the choices you made and the plans you started when Mercury was retrograde are now seen differently as unforeseen assumptions and mistakes “come to light” because Mercury, the planet ruling thinking and communication, is changing direction relative to the earth’s movement.
Still, all this does not mean everything will now be fine and dandy for you and the world. Nor does this mean everything was supposed to go wrong the past three weeks when Mercury was retrograde. The past three weeks may have been outstanding for you, with many benefits.
There are always two factors to consider. What is occurring in the sky, which these newsletters cover, and what is happening in your horoscope, which these newsletters cannot fully cover.
A Volatile Full Moon
The most significant factor is a challenging Full Moon also exact on Sunday. Full Moons intensify matters, heighten emotions, and often create extremes like the weather. This Full Moon will likely be disruptive because it will be making a challenging aspect to Uranus. In effect the past week and extending through early this week, Sun in Sagittarius 150 Uranus in Taurus brings more excitement, restlessness, impulsiveness, aggravations, and ego battles than usual. The status quo tends to be upset with surprises, unexpected events, turbulent changes, and highly charged situations. It can be like lightning bolts coming out of nowhere.
Challenging Sun-Uranus aspects increase the chances for natural disasters such as blizzards, hurricanes, and earthquakes as well as accidents, attacks, violence, protests, anarchy, and escalated military tensions.
According to the principles of right timing, any business, project, decision, relationship, wedding, or child born, for example, started around this time, will have the qualities and characteristics of this aspect, which is more relevant for anyone with Sun, Moon, and planets around 24 degrees of Taurus, Leo Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.
Current Sun Sign Factors
These sun-sign assessments are only “the tip of the iceberg” for what you should know. Besides your Sun sign degree, there are many other factors to consider, which these newsletters cannot cover, such as the transits to your Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ascendant, and Midheaven degrees. However, awareness of the current transits to your Sun’s position can be invaluable because the positions of the slower-moving planets (Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius) can create significant trends and events in your life.
To use this information correctly, you need to know the degree of your Sun sign, but the degree of your Sun is not your date of birth. If you need to know the degree of your Sun, call me. I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects
With Moon in Aries, Taurus, and Gemini, the most important lunar aspects are listed below. The descriptions do not intend to tell you what will happen in your life at the listed times. Instead, they provide some of the possibilities you can expect around the times given so you can plan your life more wisely. It is often apparent which time frames are better for timing a party, trip, decision, project, business, or other events.
Lunar aspects are in effect for a few hours (versus days) before and until the times given for the Eastern Time Zone. Therefore, you need to adjust the times for where you live. For example, if you live on the West Coast, there is a three-hour difference, so you must subtract three hours.
The plus (+) lunar aspects are favorable. The minus (-) lunar aspects are more likely to bring challenges or difficulties. Sometimes, there is a + and – lunar aspect, which can exhibit positive and negative influences.
Monday, December 09
08:37 AM EST Moon entered Aries, where it will remain until Wednesday morning when it enters the next sign, Taurus.
02:36 PM + (Moon in Aries 00 Node in Aries) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for connecting with people via networking, social interactions, and alliances with large and small groups.
Tuesday, December 10
04:54 PM + (Moon in Aries 00 Chiron in Aries) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for family matters and more loving and healing relationships.
05:13 PM + (Moon in Aries 120 Sun in Sagittarius) a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Moon in the fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius.
05:13 PM Moon in Aries Void until 10:54 AM Wednesday when it enters the next sign, Taurus.
This Void is almost eighteen hours, so note that there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. What you start or implement will likely turn out differently than planned or expected. It’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose than to start something new and vital. For example, if you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, those activities will likely amount to little.
Wednesday, December 11
10:54 AM EST Moon enters Taurus, where it will remain until early Friday afternoon when it enters the next sign, Gemini.
Moon in the earth sign Taurus boosts Taurus and, to a lesser degree, the other earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn. In addition, Moon in Taurus helps any planets and points you have in Taurus and should bring together more things for Taurus on a short-term basis.
Moon in Taurus also supports anyone’s involvement with Taurus-related activities such as gardening, landscaping, agriculture, and geology; connecting with nature by walking in a park or going to the countryside; dealing with financial matters such as organizing records and collecting debts; buying and selling things of value; and artistic endeavors such as singing, painting, sculpture, and designing.
11:43 AM – (Moon in Taurus 90 Pluto in Capricorn) opportunities for digging deeper into your emotions and feelings. However, this aspect can complicate relationships with subtle yet emotionally charged situations, including manipulation, hidden motives, and power struggles, although you may only fully realize these factors later.
12:07 PM + (Moon in Taurus 45 Jupiter in Gemini) opportunities for any interpersonal situation, including meetings and working with the public. This lunar aspect also increases the possibilities for kindness, benevolence, positive attitudes, shared feelings, and uplifting emotional support.
08:01 PM + (Moon in Taurus 90 Venus in Aquarius) opportunities for cooperation, cheerfulness, affection, pleasantries, gracefulness, emotional sharing, and artistic expression, especially involving females.
08:49 PM – (Moon in Taurus 90 Mars in Leo) opportunities for bolder and more direct actions. However, this aspect magnifies feelings and passions, bringing impatience, rashness, impulsiveness, anger, and even forceful actions.
Thursday, December 12
10:33 PM – (Moon in Taurus 150 Sun in Sagittarius) a discordant aspect between Sun in the fire sign Sagittarius and Moon in the earth sign Taurus.
Friday, December 13
02:48 AM + – (Moon in Taurus 00 Uranus in Taurus) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for increased instincts, willfulness, and aspirations regarding anything new, different, exciting, and adventuresome. However, this aspect also brings nervousness, anxiety, upsets, restlessness, excitability, volatility, and emotionally charged situations.
12:21 PM EST Moon enters Gemini, where it will remain until Sunday afternoon, when it enters the next sign, Cancer.
Moon in Gemini boosts Gemini and, to a lesser degree, the other air signs, Libra and Aquarius. Moon in Gemini also helps any planets and points you have in Gemini and should help bring more things together for Gemini on a short-term basis.
Moon in Gemini supports anyone’s involvement with Gemini-related activities such as sales, teaching, writing, and intellectual pursuits; communicating and exchanging information by sending emails, writing letters, and calling friends; any social event that connects you with new acquaintances; exploring curiosity by reading a book, watching documentaries, and gathering information on different topics; and short trips for fun, pleasure, and education.
01:15 PM + (Moon in Gemini 120 Pluto in Aquarius) opportunities for digging deeper into your emotions and feelings.
Saturday, December 14
01:39 AM + (Moon in Gemini 120 Venus in Aquarius) opportunities for cooperation, cheerfulness, affection, pleasantries, gracefulness, emotional sharing, and artistic expression, especially involving females.
10:34 AM – (Moon in Gemini 90 Saturn in Pisces) opportunities for orderly, steady, conscientious, pragmatic, and realistic plans and activities. However, this aspect can also be challenging because it is emotionally restrictive and can create issues, worries, and differences, especially involving females.
01:42 PM + (Moon in Gemini 00 Jupiter in Gemini) this wonderful once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for any interpersonal situation, including meetings and working with the public. In addition, this lunar aspect increases the possibilities for kindness, benevolence, positive attitudes, shared feelings, and uplifting emotional support.
Sunday, December 15
04:01 AM – (Moon in Gemini 180 Sun in Sagittarius) the exact time for the Full Moon highlighted at the top of this newsletter.
09:31 AM – (Moon in Gemini 90 Neptune in Pisces) opportunities for daydreaming, imagination, creativity, prayer, meditation, and highly refined artistic and spiritual feelings and aspirations. However, this aspect increases the possibilities for haziness and emotional confusion and is not ideal for logical discussions and clear-cut decisions.
09:31 AM Moon in Gemini Void until 02:21 PM when it enters the next sign, Cancer.
This Void is almost five hours, so note that there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. What you start or implement will likely turn out differently than planned or expected. It’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose than to start something new and vital. For example, if you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, those activities will likely amount to little.
Guidelines for Using This Information
These newsletters are not your typical sun sign column. They provide much more information and guidance, but it may be challenging to sort everything out with so many factors presented, even for astrology students. Therefore, I keep everything as clear and straightforward as possible.
The most critical factor with right timing is what is occurring in your horoscope. When negative aspects dominate your horoscope, the chances of success with right timing diminish no matter how favorable the aspects are in the sky. These newsletters cannot cover what is occurring in your horoscope. However, applying the information in these newsletters with common sense allows you to time your decisions and activities better.
The basic premise with right timing is that it helps to have the “stars” on your side. Starting a marriage, trip, surgery, business, real estate deal, or a major purchase, for example, at an inopportune time reduces the chances of success no matter how good your intentions and how hard you try: the better the timing, the higher your chances of success. Even an hour can make a significant difference in important decisions and events.
Moon enters each zodiac sign about every 28 days and remains in each sign for about two and a half days. When the Moon is in your sun sign, matters will likely come more together for you on a short-term basis unless significant aspects are currently challenging your horoscope.
The traits and qualities I assign to the signs in these newsletters describe the signs’ functions and meanings versus describing your personality. However, the descriptions may be entirely accurate for you. Furthermore, to understand a person’s personality and character from an astrological perspective, dozens of factors besides one’s sun sign must be considered.
Contact me to know what’s going on in your horoscope and to make better decisions at better times. We will schedule a private consultation at my office or on the phone so you can know more about your future and better understand the issues and opportunities in your life as well as your relationships, job, career, education, finances, children, parents, travel, health, location, retirement, karma, and purpose in life.
