Saturn is still stealing the show in the transits this week. “Disciplined expansion of consciousness” is an appropriate keyphrase for this week. Sun, Vesta, Pluto, Mercury, and Venus reside in Capricorn, Saturn’s home sign, for the entire week, indicating an opportunity to use thinking, cooperation, transformative qualities, and self-expression to initiate and accomplish various concrete goals. Apollon (Transneptunian) aspects Saturn all week; Saturn gives structure to Apollon’s multiplication effect. Hard work this week has a greater than average chance of increasing returns, especially with Jupiter among the more influential energies.
What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.
Aries
Relationships are perhaps most important in this busy week for you. This week’s overarching Saturn theme suggests that working together with your significant other can be more rewarding than usual. Jupiter’s blessings are also prominent this week, especially by the end of the week – how can you attract abundance into your life this week? Your strong will and drive will be useful in staying on track this week, with Uranus still contributing to unexpected occurrences (bear in mind this is not always “bad” – for example, you might enjoy a more spontaneous feel to this week). Tasks requiring precise energy and creativity can be quite fruitful this week, especially from December 26 to 28. Just for Aries: if you’re spinning your tires with something or someone, is it better to move on?
Taurus
Jupiter helps give a good start to your week, and his optimism helps carry you through most of the week. The end of the week, especially January 1, can be a very stable time for you, but be aware of lack of progress or going in circles that day! Jupiter’s waning influence for you at the end of the week is compensated by a productive emotional base on December 31 and January 1. Assistance from siblings or younger people and strong communication can definitely be of benefit for you this week. Being social and enjoying family and marriage is a prominent theme for you from December 29 to December 31, with the best day on December 30. Just for Taurus: patience can pay off this week!
Gemini
The beginning of the week has promise for expressing your personal power and focus, especially at work. Relationships are quite important for you this week, especially from December 26 to 29. You might detect that you are in more of a support role in personal and professional relationships this week, but your quick thinking and adaptability can benefit both yourself and others. Also, Jupiter smiles on you from December 29 until the end of the week, indicating possibly significant progress for you this week in your life when you integrate Saturn’s structure and discipline with Jupiter’s expansive qualities. Creative thinking and planning can be especially effective on December 27 and 28. December 29 is a great day to energetically apply your plans, creating the opportunity for a very productive week. Just for Gemini: non-verbal communication can be a boon for you this week.
Cancer
The beginning of the week (December 26 and 27) is opportune for wrapping up various personal and professional projects. The first two days of the week is also opportune for reflecting, dreaming, and taking care of personal healing. December 28 and 29 shift to a more personal and driving feel to the week. This might be the toughest part of the week for you; watch for challenges in dealing with people in powerful positions. Uranus also shows his influence at mid-week, but just as with Aries this week, this could be a plus – can you make lemons from lemonade by being spontaneous and adaptable? The end of the week has potential to be the best part of the week for you, based on a harmonious sense of self, easily flowing thought and communication, and smooth relationships. Job and career is probably most influential this week. Just for Cancer: are you fully considering someone’s advice?
Leo
Jupiter’s expansion offsetting Saturn’s dour sense of responsibility is a theme hitting you hard this week. As the week progresses, it might feel more tense, but also bear in mind the opportunities. The week’s potential suggests an opportunity for you to observe and use perspectives quite productively. The week might feel more random and disruptive as it wears on…think “opportunity in crisis” however. Your natural leadership qualities might be very beneficial; and from December 29 to 31 you have the opportunity to shine as a leader and as an expert in some area of expertise that you’ve developed. You also have potential to use creativity to a greater than average degree from December 26 until about December 29. Just for Leo: look for opportunities to integrate family this week (siblings or children).
Virgo
Transiting Sun in an earthy sign, Capricorn, along with several other planets (including your Sun’s ruler Mercury) can be a “dream come true” for your productivity this week. Service to others, not an unfamiliar theme for your Virgo qualities, is more prominent than usual this week. Your mind tends to be razor-sharp this week, especially on December 27 and 28. Also, if the week feels relatively chaotic as it begins, the effect largely wanes by week’s end. If you need or want help from someone, the best time to look for assistance from December 28 until the end of the week. Overall reasonable chances for a productive and personally fulfilling week. Just for Virgo: can siblings or younger people help spur you to action this week?
Libra
This week will test your social graces and balancing skills at work and in public. Thought and communication, especially concrete thought and communication, are strong suits for you this week, which certainly can be of benefit when productively applied. Your people skills tend to be especially good on December 26, setting the tone for the week for you. In contrast to the more serious and achievement-oriented Saturnine energies in the transits this week, you have the opportunity to enjoy companionship and be social to a greater than average degree on December 29 and 30. Jupiter also contributes his optimism to balance Saturn’s influence from December 26 to 30. So potential “opportunity in difficulty” manifests just as with a few of the other Sun signs this week. Just for Libra: how interesting, potential opportunities to “re-evaluate” situations this week even with Mercury direct!
Scorpio
This weeks tends towards being very important for you. Self-awareness and self-development is a strong theme for you this week. The stellium of planets in Capricorn, including your ruling planet, Pluto, indicates public achievement is enmeshed in your natural ability to break down and rebuild – objects, people, and your self. The entire week, especially at the beginning of the week, is an opportunity to consider what your goals in life might be, and change direction to meet them if necessary. Your conscious functions and sense of identity are very important to this process. Hard work can result in “sudden change in perspectives”. A rather interesting week, especially if you have become more insightful from Poseidon’s recent influence. Just for Scorpio: is it better to choose one side over another this week?
Sagittarius
Saturn’s influence is strong for you this week, but the structure he provides might increase your endurance and productivity. You are also in a rather long cycle of an emphasis on relating to other people which continues this week. The relationship theme is very strong from December 26 to 30, and coordinating your efforts with other people and focusing on teamwork can be quite beneficial, especially at work. Using the power of the mind is also a strong theme this week, peaking on December 30. Having sudden flashes of insight and strong intuition is slowly building up for you again as a longer-term benefit. Overall a week of adjustment, but your mutable Sagittarius Sun probably takes this as “old hat”. Just for Sagittarius: will consulting an expert help you this week?
Capricorn
Happy solar return to those born with Sun in early Capricorn! Capricorn Sun signs, perhaps, are the most fortunate recipients of the Jupiter-Saturn theme this week. Controlled expansion, disciplined optimism, and structured growth are all self-explanatory and potentially productive. How can you make optimal use of your time and energy this week? Your natural sense of acclaim and achievement are magnified all week – how can you use this to accomplish your personal and professional goals? With all of the potentially productive energies this week, do be conscious of possible ambiguity or deception. Otherwise make the most of this week! Just for Capricorn: “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.”
Aquarius
This week seems to be important for you in examining how you function in your work and career, and what you personally want and need from your career. It’s all about you this week – and that’s okay! Poseidon’s wisdom is a continuing theme for you this week (“instant spiritual insights”). Self-conflict is a rather abstract type of issue for your Aquarius Sun to wrestle with this week, but ultimately of course that can result in personal growth and increased consciousness. Your mind’s potential is particularly strong from December 26 to 28. Relating to others is a strong suit for you this week as well, despite the emphasis on self. Also a lot of potential personal energy available this week. Just for Aquarius: how do your unique qualities contribute to a relationship between equals for you this week?
Pisces
Saturn’s ingress into Sagittarius might be hitting you hard, but ask: how can he help make your dreams into a material reality? Reflecting and looking inward on December 26 and 27 (especially December 26) can help you answer this question. A bit of effort in examining your conscious functions and roles goes a long way this week, especially from December 26 to 30. Your natural creativity is likely also on overdrive at the beginning of the week. Just as with Sagittarius, your ability to adapt and adjust will help you prosper this week – if you combine Jupiter’s potential for growth with Saturn’s discipline, your strong watery energies can begin to create earthy form. Just for Pisces: how can feeling emotions of others benefit you this week?
