We all come together with the same like causes of spirituality and astrology. So I hope I'll see you there. So. So let's move on and look at what is happening for the very last week of December. So starting with December 22nd. Yes, December 22nd.
We have the Moon with Jupiter and it is in Aries, but it's in the Nakshatra Bharani. So most of the day is going to be in Bahraini. And that Nakshatra deals with major breakthroughs. It means there is change that's going to be happening and quite unexpectedly because the Moon is with Uranus. And I'm just sitting up here looking at the chart and we have the Moon wedged between Jupiter, Uranus.
This will deal with just unexpected things this day and breakthroughs. Now the Moon is also opposing Venus. Venus is still in Libra. And this is an interesting day for love, romance, coming together with friends, very social. While Venus is still in Libra and the Moon's being aspected by two benefics, Jupiter and Venus. But Uranus makes it this kind of exciting quality. So this can be a very interesting day. Now Mercury is still retrograde and on this day it is exactly conjunct the Sun. So in other words, this is what we call an inferior conjunction. Because when Mercury's retrograde, it's on the the inside of the sun instead of the outside. The superior conjunction, this is the inferior conjunction that happens only when Mercury's retrograde. So this means the sun and Mercury come together as one. It's actually a cassimi. It's not just combust because combustions mean, you know, a planet's burnt. But this one means actually this one day. It's a day that things really come up that are relevant concerning learning, communications, everything to do in this area. You're going to find is going to be an extreme, a big extreme. And I think there's going to be some new awakenings that are coming about today. And it is a very interesting day. It's a little, it's a little confusing just because the Mercury sun. With Mercury retrograde, feelings change, people change. This is a day of radical shifts and changes. But with the Moon in Aries, you remember it's about something new coming about that you want to do something new and exciting in your life. Now one thing I will point out about this day too is that the Moon is waxing. It's a bright moon, it's actually increasing in light. So moving forward, even though Mercury retrograde is the thing to do, even though there's going to be some uncertain predicaments and it's time to move forward on projects, I believe that you probably already started because there's this air of unpredictability going on with Uranus. So expect this day to be day of moving forward. Exciting events, love and romance, social events. But still there's something about this day that I wouldn't start brand new projects or start businesses, but finishing through projects you've already started. This is what it's best for. So expect the sudden and unexpected today.
So December 23rd, let's move this forward a day and let's see what's happening. Because December 23rd we have an unusual aspect. Venus is in a Quincunx with Rahu. So there's this just unforeseen, unusual quality dealing with relationships and love. It's just.
From yesterday. Today things change pretty radically and the Moon, let's see here, is going to shift.
It's almost in Taurus. Not quite. It will change into Taurus. Sometime today the moon changes. 4pm Central Standard Time, the Moon will change into Taurus. So this will make things a little bit more peaceful and flow easier. Because with the Moon being in its exaltation sign, it's more at home. But still be careful of things behind the scenes because we've got Jupiter with being 12th from where the moon is. And the 12th house means things that you can't see, things are hidden. But we're coming upon right before the full Moon. If there's something like you want to put your house on the market. Even though Mercury's retrograde when the Moon is waxing, it is a great time for this, especially since we have the Moon being in Taurus, its exaltation sign, it's actually not so bad. But the Moon will change. Nakshatras.
Early in the morning from Bahrain into kritika on the 23rd. So this is 9:50am the moon changes into Kritika. And Kritika by the way is the Nakshatra that can deal with sharp cutting.
Difficult events. So Kritika is unpredictable, especially.
Around the time that the moon is in kritika. But from 9 till 4 before the moon moves into Taurus. So be aware that once the moon goes into Taurus, things will go smoother and more peaceful. And that's around 4:00pm Central Standard Time. But throughout the day the moon is in the Nakshatra Kritika which means sharp cutting. It's actually a good Nakshatra, believe it or not, for surgeries because it deals with the knife and getting to the core and the bottom of things. Although it's best to avoid such such things while Mercury is retrograde. But Mercury retrograde is not the worst of all evils. It is actually the moon that you want to find in a good placement.
Let's progress to December 24th where the Moon will be in Taurus and Rahu will be in a trine aspect to Mars which, which is rough because this can mean.
I mean this is like a Mars Rahu conjunction when Rahu aspects Mars. So this is intense and this can deal with fighting, violence, disruption, most of all anger. So watch what you do and what you say today. Don't get riled up too easy. Chances are you will just contain it and you'll be okay. Because this aspect doesn't last that long. It lasts for a couple of days. But on the 24th at 9:50am the moon will enter into Rohini. And Rohini is the best Nakshatra for the moon. So this comes just in time for those that celebrate the Christmas holidays that the moon and is entering into a much nicer place. Rohini, Rohini actually deals with anything to do with the senses. It's very sensual. So it's a good time to have parties, to eat, to celebrate, to give gifts. This is a great moon placement Rohini and it will lighten up things. Now the moon being Taurus, Mars is going to be opposing it. So be careful once again not to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. So be cognizant. You will get riled up a little bit with the Mars still being in Scorpio in Jaista and it's opposing the moon. So there's a lot that could make you angry and there's a lot of things that may come out of the blue that, that may be a lot of secretive, underhanded events can be going on with foul play. So be aware of what's happening. Major plots I think may be coming into being that are undermining those in power. Leaders of countries watch how that's happening in the big picture.
Now another thing to be concerned and aware of is by December 24th through the 31st, Mars is Gandanta in Scorpio. As it moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius, it will be Gandanta because remember Gandanta is when a planet is the last few degrees of water and the first few degrees of fire. And this makes Mars out of control. Mars deals with anger and hostility, hostility. So Mars is causing big problems again through the end of the year that couldn't be associated with violence. But after that into around the first of the year, we will have so much more peace. The holidays will be over with and all the threats will be over with. So let's talk about December 25th.
Venus will enter Scorpio. So we lost the beauty of Venus being in Libra. But Venus in Scorpio can make love affairs more intense, more.
Passionate. But it's not as easy as when Venus was in Libra. And I'm quite glad Venus was in Libra for most of December with all of the social events that occur. But at 10:30am on December 25, the moon will move into the Nakshatra Marigashira. And while it is in Morigashira it will be aspected by Mars. And Mars is creating a lot of problems, uncivilized actions by others and violence again. So people are just on edge. That's really what I'm trying to say. But.
But also the moon will be moving into Gemini. The moon moves into Gemini. Let's see, at 10:30pm I know it moved into the Nakshatra Mergesira. 10:30am that Nakshatra is about searching and seeking. So you're going to find people very inquisitive, searching for answers. It's not a bad thing, it's just what's going on. And by the time of 10:30pm when the moon goes into Gemini, people open up. They're more communicative, they're more interested in what you have to say and they're more talkative. But Mercury is still retrograde and the financial world will be looking up. As we look at the moon being in Gemini, we have Jupiter in the 11th house from where the moon's placed. And this makes the economy much, much better. So I'm going to say that you Know, even though it looks like the economy should be doing bad, there's a lot of people spending a lot of money still. There's a lot of money out there, let's put it that way. But I get that there's going to be good things happening in the financial world, especially.
I guess, with all the buying that happens around Christmas Day. Now, looking at also the 25th, we have Venus in an exact trine with Neptune. This can make this day dreamy and.
Where people are in their fantasy world. And that's okay because this is a holiday for most people. People can relax and enjoy and rest and overdo as most people do on holidays. It's the time to give great thanks and be joyful. This what Venus trine. Neptune can deal with giving love, affection, and it's also good for the media, happy things going on in the news. People are jovial and looking for the good things. It's a good day to express your creative urges. Be creative, be inventive and enjoy other people. It's a time to celebrate because we're almost through the worst part of this year. So let's talk about.
December 26th. There is a full moon on this day. And with this full moon, you're going to find that the moon will go into the Nakshatra at the full moon, Ardra. And even though this is a bright full moon in Gemini and people are all about conversation, coming together, communicating, there's still a little bit of sadness that permeates the air with this Nakshatra because don't forget, Ardra's symbol is a teardrop. So there's something about the overall feeling of sadness of what we've come through and what we've experienced. But this holiday season should overall be a success for financial success, for probably retail. Things are going to be okay. We're not going to be in the big depression that everyone talks about. So we don't understand why. But people are still out there spending money. So December 26th through the 27th, Mercury is retrograde and it's squaring Neptune. So this can add to people not being able to make up their mind. And people are distrusting because you know that Neptune deals with deception. And many will be talking about the possibility that the governments are not being honest, especially when talking probably about the economy.
Just like many times they scared us with many things about the virus and all of that, now they're using money to scare us. So one way or another, whether they're lying about how good we're doing or how bad we're doing. It's all part of the scheme, I believe that the media has to control the masses. So now let's look now at December 27th. December 27th, the moon will still be in Gemini all day and it's going to be in the Nakshatra Poornavasu. And Poornavasu will bring an elevation to the mood, especially after being in Ardra. Poornavasu means return of the light. And this means people are starting to come back from so much.
That the world problems with war and money and economy and leaders.
We're starting to see the light again with Parnavasu. It brings back the hope and the dreams that we all had. Now what's interesting around this time though is that Mars and Mercury will cross over each other. Mars moves into Sagittarius and Mercury moves back into Scorpio because remember it's retrograde so they will be conjunct and both will be Gandanta. So people are still not totally with it. Mercury is going to be direct soon, so be aware. But.
There'S a lot of tension in the air. But most of all, when we talk about.
Mercury and Mars together, we talk about arguments or people having to be right in arguments. Be aware that arguments will be intense. So avoid staying out of debates or arguments because you're never going to win. No matter if you have everything right. You can't win with the people that you're arguing with. So stay out of arguments. Around this time there's contention with communications.
So let's move to discussion. December 28th. This is when Mars will finally move out of Scorpio and move into Sagittarius. But it is still Gandanta being at the last, I mean the very first degrees of a fire sign. But the energy does change. It becomes more into righteousness, out of control righteousness and need to be right justification. Because that's what SAG is all about, putting Mars there. People have to be right about things. So.
7Am the moon enters into Cancer. And this is great for business minded people because now we have Jupiter in the 10th house from where the Moon sits in Cancer. And it's in.
Poornovasu for half of the day. And then it will be in pusha nakshatra by 1:40pm Central Standard Time. And both of these Nakshatras are excellent Nakshatras for the moon to be in. One is bringing the light in and hope and the other one is giving protection and nourishment. So the Moon is in a beautiful place while it's in Cancer. And Jupiter goes to the 10th from the moon representing career success, moving forward with the economy and things of that nature. But Venus and Mercury are now together in Scorpio and they're in the fifth house from the moon. So this is a wonderful time for creative ventures and entrepreneurial ship. So ideas about businesses and starting over. It's a time to start thinking about it and making good plans.
So but Mercury is still Gandanta. It will be 29 degrees Scorpio on 28 December. So people are thinking over the top extremes.
Let's go to December 29th. December 29th the moon will enter the Nakshatra Aslai and this is a very business oriented Nakshatra. It means business. It's the businessman. They're going to get what they want. It's very controlling. So don't let others control you. You make sure you're in the driver's seat. Jupiter is strong, very strong at this time because it is stationed. It is about to move direct.
By the 31st. So standing still, Jupiter is strong, it's elevated. It's going to bring luck to many people and it feels really good because it's aspecting the sun. We're seeing the light finally is coming about. So many things going on at this time. There's good, there's indifferent. But most of all with the moon being in a Slatia I think the financial markets are going to be doing quite well. Now let's talk about December 30th. So 6pm this is almost finished. When the day's finished, the moon will enter Leo in the Nakshatra Maga. So basically Most of the 30th, December 30th the moon will remain in Cancer in a slatia till 6pm and that's all about business, getting things done. It's a good time. There really are good things going on in the world. A lot of work is getting done and I think a lot of people are sitting sick of the war and they're moving forward. So by 6pm on the 30th the moon will move into Leo.
And so basically December 30th.
It'S time to stay home and look at new projects that can be done around the home especially let's move forward now to, to December 31st because December 31st is when Jupiter turns direct at 11 degrees of Aries and it will turn direct by 10pm Central Standard Time. Now the moon will be in LEO all day and it will be, it will change, it will be in the Nakshatra Magha. Till.
Let'S see, it's going to change into Purva Falguni by the afternoon. No, by evening. Not till evening. It will be 9:30pm on December 31 that the moon moves into Purva Falguni. And. And I call this the party Nakshatra. So guess what? It is New Year's Eve and we are all ready for a new year. Because now we're starting to see the light. So here's my advice to you. Have a party and celebrate a better year to come. It will be better. I know we've got a lot to go through, but 2024, especially the first half, will be interesting and I think amazing. I'm predicting a Great Awakening for 2024. You have this opportunity to change your life and I want you to celebrate the new year. Just don't go to real big crowded places. I don't foresee anything horrendous happening, but I'm still wanting everyone to celebrate the new year. Because Purva Falguni, the moon in Leo. It's about expression, expressing yourself in a new world that's coming. So party up with your best friends and your loved ones and let's celebrate the end of 2023 and the beginning of a new year of 2024. So with that, I think I'll close. Thank you. And we're going to have a much better year, I can assure you. Thank you.
