Sagittarius New Moon: December 1, 2024
Welcoming us into December, the Moon begins again in Sagittarius on November 30, 2024 or December 1, 2024, depending on where you find yourself in the world.
Sagittarius is a zodiac that inspires hope. It invites us to tune into the ever-present wisdom, support, and blooming of life. It expands our minds and reminds us of the knowing, truth, and direction alive within us – in our intuition, in our bodies, and in our hearts. And it invites us to trust – in life, in our unfolding, and in goodness.
A new Moon in this adventurous sign reminds us that there is so much more available for us than we can possibly see from our current vantage – vast possibilities, exciting creations, and joy-filled experiences. It reminds us that life itself is desiring to express through us, and life itself exists in the boundless, the open, the expansive.
Under this new moon and in the reflection of Mercury Retrograde in the same sign – does your frame of mind have enough space for the life calling your name? Do your beliefs leave space for possibility, expansion, and hope?
This new moon is slowly opening our beings, minds, bodies, and hearts. For there is more waiting for us in this life. And it is healing our relationship with faith, trust, time, and the belief that beautiful things can happen for us.

Mercury Cazimi in Sagittarius: December 5, 2024
December 5, 2024 brings together the Sun and Mercury in perfect unison while in the fires of Sagittarius. A Cazimi is an Arabic term translating to ‘in the heart of the Sun’, and it ignites new energy and enlivens our spirit.
While Mercury is in retrograde at the time of its Cazimi, this day holds the space for deep inner insight, newfound awareness through reflection, expansion of our perspectives, and the re-writing of narratives within.
It is a day to explore your own mind, question belief systems and open to vaster inspiration. Journalling on your dreams and hopes, beliefs and experiences will support the beautiful transition desiring to take place in your mind on this day.
Mars Retrograde in Leo: December 6, 2024
This week brings our final retrograde of the year, beginning December 6, 2024 and taking us into February 23, 2025.
It’s the retrograde of Mars while in the fiery sign of Leo, inviting us to review our personal ambitions and motivations, how we channel our life force, and express our creativity.
Mars in Astrology is a spark of force, motivation, passion, and energy. It is a planet that impels us to move, create, and take action towards the things that ignite us with life and purpose. Leo is our sign of creativity, selfhood, expression, and joy. It is a zodiac that reminds us of our uniqueness, and of our unique journey in this world of being who we are, in all of our brilliance, layers, complexities, and colours.
These two archetypes together inspire creative ambition, passionate expression, and a greater flow of life force. While in retrograde however, instead of expressing this energy through and into the world, we are bringing it within. With less focus on doing and acting, we are tuning in, reflecting, and observing how we use our life force energy. We are re-connecting with our passions and cultivating a more honest relationship with our own drive, ambitions, and desires.
Taking us through the threshold of this year and into the next, this retrograde invites us to breathe out, look within, and observe how we can move through this world with more intention and purpose. Together we are taking the time and creating the space to think before we act, for the actions we take are the very creation of our lives. Allow this moment to re-align with what you desire to create, how you choose to express yourself, how you use your life force, and where your ambitions are truly coming from.

Neptune Direct in Pisces: December 7, 2024
After five months of spinning backwards in our skies, Neptune Retrograde comes to an end this week on December 7, 2024, while in the mystical water sign of Pisces.
Neptune is our planet of imagination, fantasy, inspiration, and dreaming. It is the realm of life where all seems to blend together and separation between self and another, self and nature, self and All seems to dissipate.
While in retrograde, we had greater boundaries between the tangible and intangible, between reality and imagination. As Neptune moves forward however, that boundary begins to soften, and we once again have access to the etheric realms of the imagination where life can take any possibility, as long as we can dream it.
Neptune stationing direct inspires us to dream once again. It is a doorway welcoming in vaster possibilities, ideas, visioning, and art. It is our entrance into the next waves of dreams and creations waiting to meet us, the imaginations and possibilities swimming through the currents of the dreamscape, waiting for us to bring them into this world.
Venus enters Aquarius: December 7, 2024
As Neptune stations direct, Venus enters a new sign on the same day. From December 7, 2024 to January 2, 2025 Venus occupies the radical, futuristic and humanitarian air sign of Aquarius, supporting authenticity, inner freedom, and a sense of belonging and acceptance.
The planet of love, beauty, value and relationships, the love of Venus moves differently through Aquarius, or at least, opens the space for a new kind of love to co-exist within us. A more impersonal love, a wide-reaching love, and a humanitarian love. A love that celebrates diversity and inspires authenticity. And a love that holds the collective in its arms, desiring opportunity and freedom for every member.
Venus in Aquarius inspires the kind of love and acceptance that allows us to break free from expectations and narratives that were never ours. It welcomes greater acceptance of others for who they are, rather than who we may desire them to be. And it brings forth a greater sense of belonging within this collective body from which we are all from.
Venus conjunct Pluto in Aquarius: December 7, 2024
After the recent era-defining movement of Pluto into Aquarius, any planet entering through the gates of this air sign are first greeted by Pluto before continuing their travels.
On 7 December 2024 as Venus steps into Aquarius, it comes into a conjunction with Pluto. Our planet of love and heart, inner value and relationships with our planet of transformation and depth, empowerment and truth, this day is a portal for much energy.
It opens our hearts wider and inspires deep love and connection. It is an opportunity for deep self-love as well as intimacy with our chosen people. And it is a conjunction that desires liberation – freeing ourselves with our own love, empowering ourselves with the embodiment of our own worth.
On this day, there are parts of us from within our underworld, our shadow, our unconscious, that are calling out for our own love. Offering ourselves presence, honesty, and the safety to feel, we will be given the opportunity to share our love through and with ourselves perhaps more than ever before. And we will be offered a new level of embodiment and magnetism, intimacy, freedom, and self-value.
