MOON  MOMENTS

New Moon 10 December 3.40am AEST 18 degrees Sagittarius
This is the most potent New Moon of the year as Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto line up with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. The desire to travel, learn or expand your experience of the world has been growing throughout the year and now becomes too big to disregard. Something really big demands attention in your life now; ignore it at your peril! The excitement of discovery awaits those who dare to begin a new adventure. The karmic energy, represented by the North Node, is about to change signs. If there is something unfinished from the past 2 years, the time to complete it is now.

Full Moon 24 December 11.15am AEST 2 degrees Cancer
Jolly Jupiter has only just changed signs as the Moon grows full in her home sign of Cancer. As we approach the Christmas festival we do so under a sky that begs for more family time. The holidays may be short and sweet this year but they are full of feeling. Family commitments may frustrate personal or professional plans however the experience of family bonding is well worth any career delays now. Venus moves through deep Scorpio demanding truth and loyalty in love. Capricorns enter a 12 month period of growth and expansion; Leos and Aquarians now feel a stronger pull towards their destiny.
