You’re in a fabulous position for research these days, and, this week, for putting new spins on old information. You might enjoy throwing yourself into a project or mystery to solve — you can easily get lost in a quest for more knowledge today, and while it can eat up time in your day, it’s pleasant. You’re feeling happily dedicated to a person or project right now.

You may feel compelled to take charge of a matter and return to an unfinished conversation or idea to get to the bottom of things, and doing so is pleasantly engaging.
Gemini
The Moon moves into your creative sector for a couple of days, dear Gemini, and this stimulates your desire to have some fun, express yourself more freely, and enjoy hobbies or pastimes. This sector of your chart rules all heartfelt pursuits, and this can be a passion project or a relationship. You’re in a good position today and the next couple of days to solve a mystery or to return to an old predicament and fill in some blanks on the matter. You can also be quite fearless about issues that have been swept under the carpet, and some of you could find a lost item now. You might feel pleasantly dedicated to a work or health pursuit with good results.
Cancer
The Moon moves into your home and family sector for a couple of days, dear Cancer, and this points to a natural period of the lunar month to lay low, connect with places and people you love, and take things easy. Even so, you might decide to throw yourself into a creative project or activity that engrosses you. You are in a frame of mind that invites new insights into old problems today and the next couple of days, and what comes of this can be quite meaningful. You’re capable of working through problem areas by establishing their root or breaking a new layer.
Leo
The Moon moves into your communications sector for a stay of two-plus days, dear Leo, and this stimulates a desire for movement in your life, whether this means connecting with others, various errands or short trips, or learning new things. Your curiosity is high right now. While you tend to want to keep things light during this short cycle, today’s energies encourage you to dig just a little deeper. You may be revisiting an old project in a new way, or intensely caught up in resolving a problem. There is a strong desire and drive to be efficient. Take the time to work on something you love, as you can make significant progress now. There can be pleasant, motivating feelings about family or home life experienced today.
Virgo
The Moon moves out of your sign and into your resources sector today, dear Virgo. You want to settle in now and enjoy a bit of predictability for a couple of days! Even so, your mind is super busy today, going over matters from the past, and the good news is that this isn’t a pointless activity. In fact, today and the next few days are excellent for getting new insight on past matters that help you in the present. There can be a dramatic touch to your communications, but also a healthy dedication to specific ideas and projects that is motivating.
Libra
You are especially charming today, dear Libra, with the Moon moving into your sign and your ruler, Venus, parallel to Mercury and Pluto. This is a time of much personal appeal and persuasive ability. You’re in a great position to pour extra energy and dedication into a money-making pursuit or another project now. Conversations today and in the next few days can be very revealing of issues that were left uncertain or up in the air in the past. Financial issues might be discussed, and you can come to a decidedly important conclusion.
Scorpio
Today, your responsibility, dedication, or willingness to make some personal sacrifices to accommodate others meets with reward, dear Scorpio. It’s a good day for pouring extra energy into your pet projects. There is intensity of a pleasant variety in your communications. This can be about where you go with your thoughts or your conversations, which tend to involve revisiting an old issue and seeing it in a new light. Revisions made now seem to work well for you or work in your favor in some significant way. You also have good energy with you today for nurturing a business.
Sagittarius
The Moon moves into your social sector today, dear Sagittarius, where it will spend a couple of days, encouraging you to reach out to others. You might also be looking into a matter of values, money, or ownership with an eye for revising your first impression or conclusion. You might even find something you’d lost today or in the next few days. Certainly, a new way of looking at things can be valuable to you now. There can be financial news or analysis that can be helpful in the long term. This can also be a great time for working on something behind the scenes or in relative solitude, even with the compulsion to spend time with buddies. Dividing your time may be useful now.
Capricorn
The Moon has climbed to the top of your solar chart and will spend just over two days here, dear Capricorn. This tends to stimulate an urge to be on your best behavior, and sometimes it’s about a need to behave! You’re more accountable for what you say and do, not just today, but for what you have and haven’t done in the past month or so. There is a distinct part of you that wants to make some changes and revisions to recent plans and decisions or to re-examine a matter of the past that doesn’t feel entirely resolved. Conversations remain light or friendly, yet seem to hold more meaning than usual. This is also a good day for showing your dedication to a friend or group.
Aquarius
The Moon moves into harmony with your sign for a couple of days now, dear Aquarius, and this releases some pressure. You find it far easier to focus on the big picture rather than worry too much about the small issues. There is good energy with you today for thinking in the long-term, setting goals, and dedicating yourself to your work or responsibilities. These things come naturally to you now. Accomplishing something substantial fills a need. Pacing yourself and focusing on the end results comes more easily than usual. Thoughts or conversations about your past or private matters can be particularly useful today and in the next few days as you see previously uncertain or bothersome issues in a new light. It’s an excellent time for cutting through appearances and uncovering something previously unknown or hidden.
Pisces
Today favors deep but pleasant thoughts and conversations, dear Pisces. Something unfinished can emerge for your attention, and you can have a great time revisiting it in a new way or coming at it from a different angle. There can be a eureka moment as you discover another layer of a problem or situation, which can be very satisfying. This is also an excellent time to devote more energy and attention to your studies, a particular project, or even a trip or venture. You’re happy to go the extra mile now.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
BALANCE OF MODES
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 11th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
