Astrological Forecast for December 2020

The last day of November ended the month with a partial full Moon lunar eclipse in Gemini showing the fulfillment (Full Moon’s Represent Completions) of efforts to overturn election results.

Remember, election day started off with Mercury stationing direct. Mercury left its shadow on November 19^th and Mercury is the depositor of the full Moon lunar eclipse since Mercury rules Gemini.

So, one door closes and another opens. December starts off with Mercury entering the optimistic sign of Sagittarius. For those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Sagittarius, you are ready to create a whole new life over the next 6 months.

This could mean going back to school to attain new knowledge that will help you reach some of your new goals. Higher education is ruled by Sagittarius and they are known to be walking sponges that absorb any new knowledge and information that can help them attain more power through the avenue of knowledge.

It is on December 14^th at 11:17AM, we have a TOTAL new Moon solar eclipse in Sagittarius at 23 degrees. New Moon’s represent new beginnings.

With all we have heard from the leaders of healthcare in America, the astrological signatures from December 1^st, 2020 to January 21^st, 2021 are matching up.

A TOTAL eclipse disallows any light to shine and with Mars squaring to Pluto, the planet of death, we are headed into a dark holiday season. Your prayers and meditations are so needed during this time.

Venus will move into Sagittarius on December 15^th a day after the total eclipse and is square to the rising sign of this full Moon chart cast for Washington, D.C. This is when the economy meets head to head with the virus.

So far, as I type this article on November 24^th, Wall Street hit a record high yesterday, so there is not much to be stressed about. What will happen when the virus metastasizes from the Mars square Pluto at the onset of the eclipse AND, Mars will square Saturn from January 9^th to the 16^th of 2021, is another story all together.

Saturn will enter Aquarius on December 17^th starting a two- and half-year cycle of building a new world of ideas with differences that find unity. Aquarius knows how to work with others in large groups such as organizations that are humanitarian. This is good news.

However, our medical workers are tired and food bank lines are long. Without a stimulus we could have a double nightmare. It is the combination of Mars square to Pluto and afterwards square to Saturn in Aquarius, that sets off an alarm of emergency that overrides the conflict within congress regarding the second stimulus.

Just when you think Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell have the power to control what is going to happen with the next stimulus, Covid-19 steps in and screws up all their well-defined party agendas. There are too many people dying between December 14^th to January 16^th that Congress, President Trump and the newly elected Joe Biden will have to move the stimulus by the middle of December or face a recession by the time Joe Biden is sworn in.

It’s getting to be such a dark situation from the TOTAL new Moon lunar eclipse energy that any light generated from prayers, mediations, a new stimulus are needed more than ever.

With the part of fortune conjunct, the rising sign of Aquarius in this solar eclipse chart, we can make the adjustments needed to climb out of this horrific holiday energy. We will come out of the other end of the dark tunnel.

Even thou Mars is moving into an exact square to Pluto from December 20^th till December 26, it is trine to the Sun, Moon and Mercury all in Sagittarius in the TOATAL new Moon solar eclipse chart.

Trines are the wind at our back and this Sagittarius eclipse lasts for a six-month period.

Sagittarius is known to be the most optimistic sign in the Zodiac. They can pull themselves out of any situations with a smile. So, hang in there as we await the rollout of vaccine to bring confidence back to the economy and health of our nation.

What would happen if the Congress did not move on a second and third stimulus? A disaster for the American economy and the Congress leaders are all to blame for playing games with this pandemic and holding Americans hostage to it for their own political outworn rules and regulations.

I don’t think this will happen, but you can never underestimate their lack of awareness between themselves as representatives and what the people of America are really going through.

Jupiter will move into Aquarius on December 19^th, 2020 for a one-year period. Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto have all been in Capricorn which rules big business and government.

I think Saturn and Jupiter moving into Aquarius gives power back to the people and organizers to make it happen from people around the world to help each other rather than so much dependency on federal governments or large bodies of government.

A new temperament is dawning and setting up a new way of doing business in the world and how humanity sees itself more united rather than separate. This Saturn/Jupiter sets up Pluto moving into Aquarius at the end of November 2024.

What a great time to be living in. We are seeing the last days of darkness and a world that thinks its separate. We are moving into the Age of Aquarius.

Mercury will move into Capricorn on December 20^th over the next few weeks and Capricorn’s are trying to hold onto the old but are unable to stay with traditional ways of doing things as the virus takes everyone through a second wave of isolation where work is replaced by family values.

The Sun will enter Capricorn on December 21^st and we have the Winter Solstice (5:02AM EST). The balance between Aquarius and Capricorn is here. Depending on ourselves by working with others in our communities (Aquarius) verses working with traditional government leaders (Capricorn) to fulfill our lives.

Merry Christmas everyone. Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa. Deep prayer and celebration bring light to our dark times.

December 29^th brings home family values in Cancer at 8 degrees (10:28PM). Cancer is the birth sign ruler of America. The statue of Liberty is female holding the light of inspiration in her hand.

This full Moon conjuncts America’s Sun, Jupiter, and Venus all in Cancer. We unite in our hr. of need. Work and family find balance. Tradition meets with self-empowerment. The full Moon represents completing or turning the corner of the virus towards the light.

Look for the vaccine to be on its way into the public and security starting to manifest.

We must get past January 16, 2021 to really start feeling more comfortable with how the vaccine is being distributed. There will be some bumps in the road as we have a couple of T-Squares in this full Moon chart.

Balance: This is a balance point of time in the vaccine distribution and the economy. A testing of our patience as American and the world try to organize vaccine distribution and at the same time keep a world economy alive.

I will continue to write updates on the astrological signatures that are ahead of us in 2021. My intuition says the month May 2021, we know we are well on our way out of this pandemic.

By July 4, 2021, we should have group celebrations that are not limited anymore but still on the side of safety measures.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season. May God bless us and everyone in every country to maintain patience and balance as we walk through a tough December of 2020 and a tough January of 2021.

My deepest prayers to the medical healthcare workers and the families who are losing loved ones. May the angels of God bring your families closer as you go through the pain of loss. May we not lose so many and start to see a major wave of healing energies for everyone in the world.
