On
Christmas Day, at 11:11am, GMT, there is a Full Moon in the emotional,
protective and introverted sign of Cancer. The Moon rules Cancer, so while
there it effectively satisfies its basic needs for affection, emotional contact
and safety. Just like it happens with every Full Moon, the Sun is in the
opposite sign, the sign of Capricorn in this case. Thus, we are expected to
strike the right balance between career (Capricorn) and family (Cancer), work
(Capricorn) and home (Cancer), physical (Capricorn) and emotional security (Cancer).
This balance is supported by Neptune, the planet of escape, being the focal
planet of an ambivalence triangle where the Lights are involved. So, it seems
that, if there are people who work on Christmas Day, they will manage to take
some time off and spend Christmas with their families, even at the very last
minute.
After all,
Mercury is no longer out-of-bounds – as was the case at the previous New Moon
on December 11 – which helps us keep a more predictable routine, especially
when it comes to professional obligations (Mercury in Capricorn). It is also
worth noting that Mercury has already entered its shadow period while preparing
for its retrograde period (January 4-24) and, therefore, it will return to the
degree it occupies now both on January 15 while retrograde and on February 7 while
direct. This means that professional agreements, discussions and negotiations
are slowly starting to enter a revision period which will be initially
completed during the first ten days of February.
Indeed,
Mercury’s involvement in a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Venus shows that
these professional discussions will easily open up new horizons, albeit
short-term (Mercury trine Jupiter in Virgo), and they will bring opportunities
for financial rewards (Venus at the apex). However, Mars’ harsh involvement in
the formation above, as well as its position in Libra at a critical degree
ruled by Mars, reminds us that despite any insecurities we will have to fight
for balance and fair play if we want to reap the fruits of this formation.
Finally, the applying trine and the separating square that Saturn forms with
Uranus and Neptune, respectively, supports the opening-up of new professional
horizons while leaving behind hard feelings that may have arisen lately due to
professional frustrations or resignations. Let us also note that Uranus is
about to go direct; this may electrify the atmosphere and highlight the sense
of renewal, subversion and sudden change. Happy Full Moon and Merry Christmas
to you all!
