December 2019 Love TarotScopes—Jupiter in Capricorn, Full Moon in Gemini!

Unexpected opportunities help us close the door to past limitations as we embrace exciting new adventures!

The moon at 19 degrees Gemini opposes the sun in Sagittarius on December 12, 2019 at 12:08 a.m. EST. This quicksilver moon in the sign of the storyteller loves gathering and spreading the latest information, while the nature-loving sun in jovial Sagittarius favors teaching, learning, exploring foreign cultures and places. Both enjoy sharing ideas, intellectual discussions, exploring a variety of subjects and experiences. Matters involving communication, siblings, the media, long distance travel, belief systems, higher education, and publishing will fall under the silvery beams of this lunation. Full moons bring things to completion and may also bring issues that were hidden into the light. We may have a desire to communicate or share our knowledge at this time.

Neptune in Pisces, forming a square aspect to the moon, can bring confusion, cloudy logic, or deception in matters involving communication. We must be wary of avoiding harsh truths, falling under the spell of wishful thinking, idealization, or being deceived by snake-oil pitches from charming orators at this time. Dig deeper for the facts, and don’t rely on gossip or glamour when making choices or decisions—go to the source! Remember, it’s not what they say, but what they do that counts.

Saturn, Venus, and Pluto in Capricorn form an uncomfortable aspect to the moon in Gemini. Although Gemini energy is usually light, airy, and talkative, this moon is influenced by the heavy weight of Capricorn in spades. If we are tempted to skim the surface of issues, Saturn in Capricorn will bring us back to reality and demand that we put some sweat equity and a practical plan behind our talk. Socially pleasant Venus is not “warm and fuzzy” in the sign of the goat. We may feel uncomfortable sharing our love or feelings. Money may be tight while Venus is here. We may prefer the company of those who offer stability and longevity in partnerships at this time, instead of “fly-by-night” charmers. Pluto may bring intensity and power struggles to debates, contacts, or conversations—especially when dealing with authority figures or controlling individuals.

Mercury in Sagittarius in tense aspect to Uranus in Taurus can bring surprising messages from afar, or difficult discussions around spirituality, foreign cultures, money, and security. We may get into challenging conversations involving our belief systems, with both sides clinging to their positions. The goal here is to try to meet in the middle, to see things from the other person’s perspective, or at least agree to disagree. Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune gives us the courage and energy to fight for a goal or dream, against all odds. We are ready to do battle for a cause or follow our passions, even if we must march into hell in the process.

Our saving grace comes from benevolent Jupiter, moving into Capricorn on December 2nd and forming a favorable aspect to Uranus in Taurus at the full moon. This aspect can bring sudden opportunities from out of the blue that offer wealth, stability, and a chance to build something solid that will last a long time. With Jupiter in Capricorn, we will have to embrace discipline, commitment and hard work to make a dream real. But, when we least expect it—a stroke of luck may get us out of a rut and onto a new adventure!
