This week’s VIP is the planetoid Chiron. When Chiron turns direct in Aries, life’s unfairness gets a spotlight.  You’ve had your retrograde pity party—now it’s time to suit up! Aries says, “Yes, life’s unfair, but whining won’t fix it. Own your pain, learn from it, and march forward like the warrior you are.” Boom!

This week’s VIP is Mercury, who turns direct on Sunday.  Translation: the chaos parade is coming to an end. The fog lifts, the lost emails find their way to your inbox, and the tech gremlins start packing. But remember—baby steps, okay? We’re still in the post-shadow; it's like hangover recovery. Proceed gently and mindfully!

December 2, 2024 – December 8, 2024

This week’s VIP and biggest newsmaker (everyone will be talking to him) is Mars, who turns retrograde later  this week. Mars retrograde calls us to pause and reflect on our actions, motivations, and inner frustrations. This period often brings delays, fatigue, and irritations, forcing us to confront impulsive behaviors. Rather than pushing forward, Mars Rx urges us to reassess and refine our approach, leading to more intentional actions afterward.

The month of December brings us Capricorn season, which begins on Winter Solstice (December 21) and continues until the Sun moves into Aquarius on January 19th.

Capricorn is an earth sign that is concerned with taking charge, being ambitious, striving for success, and focusing on things that matter. In other words, it’s not the time to be passive and let the world pass you by; it’s time to seize your moment and make things happen.  Since Capricorn is a cardinal sign, the past no longer matters. It is what you can do today that should be your focus. 

This week’s VIP is Mercury Rx, so buckle up, buttercup. Mercury retrograde is when Mercury looks like it's moving backward, and it messes with communication, travel, and technology. Expect delays, misunderstandings, and people from the past popping up. It's a time to review and revisit, not start big projects. Stay flexible, double-check details, and keep a sense of humor.

This week’s VIP is Jupiter, king of the gods. Jupiter transits bring a sense of growth and expansion, offering  opportunities to learn, explore, and take risks. It’s a time to embrace optimism, go beyond your comfort zone, and see the bigger picture. However, be mindful not to overdo it—balance and focus are key to truly benefiting.

This week’s VIP is Saturn. When Saturn moves through the heavens, it asks you to get real, face  responsibilities, and build something solid. These times can feel heavy or restrictive, but they’re about growing up, becoming stronger, and laying a stable foundation. Saturn rewards patience, effort, and doing things the right way.

Picture this: you’ve just crawled through the ashes like a reborn Phoenix, and now—boom!—the archer (aka  Sagittarius) shows up, flexes, and aims his arrow toward the stars. The vibe shift is real. Scorpio season had us all sweating bullets, facing our phobias, dysfunctions, and those oh-so-cringe things we’ve been avoiding. But Sagittarius? It’s all about looking ahead—no rear-view mirrors allowed.

Now, let’s talk mythology for a sec. Jupiter, aka the king of the gods, rules over Sagittarius. He’s the boss in the sky, but he’s got... let's call it a wardrobe malfunction. The dude couldn't keep it zipped. In his Greek persona as Zeus, he was notorious for sneaking around behind Hera’s back, having affairs left and right, and fathering kids all over the place. Now, before you start thinking this is just some ancient drama about a philandering god, hold up. Zeus wasn’t just a player; he was out sowing the seeds of potential—literally and metaphorically. His thing was about tomorrow, the next adventure, the next big creation. Sounds pretty Sagittarius, right? Always thinking ahead, rarely pausing for reality.

This week, our VIP is the Moon.  The transiting Moon reflects the shifting emotional currents we collectively experience, influencing our moods and reactions. Each sign change of the Moon encourages us to explore a unique emotional tone, whether it's impulsiveness, depth, harmony, or practicality. By aligning with these fluctuating energies, we cultivate greater emotional awareness and adaptability in our daily lives.

This week’s VIP is Mercury, the communication planet. When Mercury's is the week’s VIP, your brain gets a  turbo boost! Expect a surge in chatty texts, random curiosity, and a sudden urge to organize that junk drawer. But beware—Mercury’s tricky. One moment you're a genius, the next you're tongue-tied. So, buckle up for a mental rollercoaster!

This is going to be one heck of a busy week – so be prepared.

This week’s VIP (Very Important Planet) is the Sun. The transiting Sun in astrology highlights the current  energy and focus in your life. It shines a light on specific areas, helping you become more aware of what needs attention or growth. As it moves, the Sun influences your vitality and personal expression, making you more conscious of your identity and goals.

This week, our VIP (Very Important Planet) is Venus.  However, we have to remember that the love goddess is  out of her league, as she is in detriment in Scorpio. When Venus is in detriment, she’s like that friend who shows up to brunch in a mood. She’s a little out of her comfort zone, so love and relationships can get tricky. Expect some impulsive decisions, a dash of stubbornness, and maybe even a bit of drama. She’s not as smooth as usual, more like a wild card, making love life feel like an adventure you didn't sign up for—but hey, it’s never boring!

Although Mars lurks mainly behind the scenes, he is this week’s VIP.  Mars is like your cosmic personal trainer —pushing you to take action, set goals, and stand up for yourself. But don’t let it turn you into a bulldozer! Balance its fiery energy with a bit of self-discipline, clear communication, and maybe a calming meditation to keep things from getting too intense. 

Reptiles have always been associated with the sign of Scorpio.  The symbolism of the snake shedding its skin  reflects Scorpio's powers of transformation and its natural association with death and disintegration. And there is no better figure to represent the sign of the scorpion than the mythic Medusa.

There are various versions of Medusa’s origin story, but in all of them she is violated by the God Poseidon, and the result is a woman transformed by her outrage and bitterness. Medusa’s face is the embodiment of the horrors of life’s unfairness. If one stumbles across her and stares directly into her eyes, they become paralyzed and turn to stone.

This week, our newsmaker is the solar eclipse in Libra, and since the Lady of the Eclipse is Venus, she becomes  our VIP.  However, before you get too excited, remember that Venus is in detriment.  When Venus is in detriment, it’s like trying to be the life of the gathering in shoes that pinch. Relationships might get intense, finances could play hard to get, and your sense of style might lean towards the edgy. But hey, challenges build character—and maybe a killer wardrobe too!

This week’s VIP is once again Mercury.  When Mercury moves through the cosmos, it boosts communication and sharpens our minds. It's a great time for learning, negotiating, and socializing. Conversations flow easily, and problem-solving becomes quicker. Stay open to new ideas, pay attention to details, and take advantage of this period to connect with others and share your thoughts.

This week our VIP is the Sun. As the Sun moves through the zodiac, it influences our energy, focus, and self- expression. Each month, it highlights different areas of our lives, like relationships, career, or personal growth. This transit can boost our vitality, draw attention to specific themes, and help us align with our true essence.

This week’s VIP (Very Important Planet) is Mercury. When Mercury moves through the heavens, it influences  our communication, thinking, and decision-making. You'll notice changes in how you express yourself and interact with others. This week Mercury is significant because it moves into Virgo, the sign he rules.

Libra is the sign of relationships, and on the practical level, it is. And although pop astrology focuses on love relationships, the sign of the scales governs all relationships, even relationships with our enemies.

But what is the undercurrent of the sign of the scales?

In Greek Myth, there's a story about a young shepherd boy named Paris. Zeus randomly chooses him to judge who was the most beautiful Olympian goddess. The contestants were Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and each of the three goddesses bribe Paris based upon their divine attributes. Hera offers Paris world dominance, Athena offers him strategy in war, and Aphrodite drops her magic girdle and offers Paris the most beautiful woman in the world. But, of course, since Paris is a young man ruled by his hormones, and without worldly sophistication, he chooses Aphrodite and is given Helen of Troy as his prize.

The Judgment of Paris is not a story about love, despite its surface-level storyline. Paris' prize, Helen of Troy, was already married, and their illicit affair caused the Trojan War. So, the story is about human choices, and on its deepest level, so is the sign of Libra.

This month, our choices matter, so we need to make them carefully!

This week, our VIP (Very Important Planet) is energetic Mars.  Mars is the cosmic caffeine in the heavens,  fueling your drive, passion, and courage. Think of it as your personal cheerleader and motivator, sometimes making you bold, other times a bit fiery. It’s your go-to planet for action and, occasionally, those epic life battles. However, be on guard this week as Mars moves into Cancer, the sign of its fall.
