Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Aries & Winter Solstice, December 21, 2023

Moon transiting Aries, Thursday, December 21st, highlights the elements of fire and earth, while encouraging self reflection over your decisions and actions over the past year, and self-determination directed toward the path you will follow in the year ahead, as the moon conjunct the North Node in Aries forms a trine aspect with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn conjunct the sun shifting from Sagittarius to Capricorn on the day of the Winter Solstice. A sense of gravitas, and a quickening awareness of impending transformation, is present at this turning point of the year, while today’s lunar transit activating the destiny determining North Node in a sign associated with leadership and initiation, squares Pluto in the final degree of Capricorn. On January 21st, when Pluto enters Aquarius, ideas you formulate, decisions you make, and anything you begin NOW, will have been impacted by a full cycle of the moon moving through all the signs and houses of your natal chart, while the sun in Aquarius will be conjunct Pluto, and Mercury (no longer retrograde) will be conjunct Mars in Capricorn – and you will be in the middle of the change and transformation which you are initiating now. Set your intentions deliberately, because this year’s Winter Solstice demands mindfulness, discipline, self-control, and right use of will if you wish to bend the future in your desired direction. You can access and utilize more power than you may think you have, so treat yourself with the same respect and consideration you would show to a teacher, mentor, master, or deity you admire – emulate and embody their qualities. Enhance a Solstice ceremony with a fire, if you can, or write your intentions on paper and burn them.
