Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Taurus, December 22, 2023

Moon transiting Taurus, Friday, December 22nd, kicks off the Christmas holiday weekend with an uplift of positivity, and an increase in the flow of money, socializing, communication, and travel, as the moon joins Jupiter in Taurus, and together, they form a Minor Grand Trine aspect pattern with the sun conjunct Mercury in Capricorn, and Saturn in Pisces. This aspect pattern may help to moderate the travel and communication snafus which Mercury retrograde is known for, and last minute plans or shopping could go more smoothly than you anticipate, but DO buy that travel insurance or extra coverage on any major purchases, like computers, phones, or appliances. And DO save all your receipts because while Mercury is retrograde, and Mars in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces, and Venus in Scorpio is opposing Uranus, there are likely to be some disappointing or duplicate gifts, wrong sizes, or things which break, which will need to be tactfully returned. Several aspects involving Neptune in Pisces heighten nostalgic and bittersweet feelings, particularly for happier times, or for people we love who are no longer here, or who are estranged, and the Capricorn sun and Mercury emphasize tradition and ancestry. Today’s lunar transit supports remembering what was happy, or the good that might have come from a challenging situation, as well as choosing to make the best of the present. There are also aspects supporting self-worth and personal boundaries – you are not obligated to go where you do not want to be, or to be in contact with anyone who makes you uncomfortable. The moon and Jupiter will help you to choose what feels best for you, and to maintain your calm and conviction, whatever you choose.
