Daily Horoscope: Moon in Cancer, December 21, 2021

Moon in Cancer, Tuesday, December 21, marks the winter solstice and the return of the light, as the dark of the night begins to shorten, and daylight, lengthen. It can also be a time of celebration as you spend time with family and friends, or a time for rituals and the setting of intentions where you release the old and welcome the new. In Norse mythology, the Yule season was considered rather dangerous – probably due to stormy and unpredictable weather – and best spent indoors, as Odin and other supernatural beings, or the dead, would ride through the skies to hunt. Although that may sound overly dramatic to you, today, as the sun enters somber Capricorn, the moon in a protective water sign opposes Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, which may activate some of your own fears around security, or make you mindful of loved ones no longer here who will be missed at holiday gatherings this year. Two Yod aspect patterns – one involving the moon, the sun, and Jupiter in Aquarius, and another comprised of the sun, the moon, and the North Node in Gemini can activate a turning point in your consciousness, as well as your future, as you make decisions or commitments and share them with friends or family. Venus and Pluto trine to the North Node, as well as Mars in Sagittarius trine to Chiron in Aries, encourage you to follow your passion with the anticpation of success and better days ahead.
