Weekly Horoscope: December 13–December 19, 2020

Prepare for a whirlwind of cosmic activity this week! One of the most important weeks of the year has arrived—if not the most important week. Buckle up as we enter a new era!

December 13 will bring forth the only frustrating transit of the week, as our cosmic messenger Mercury in Sagittarius clashes in a square with Neptune in Pisces. This will cause smokescreens to be thrown up and trigger confusing and complicated interactions. Beware of a lack of clarity in all matters. This will add further cosmic dust into the air as eclipse season already casts a great deal of it into the Universe.

The following day, a solar eclipse in Sagittarius will arrive. This new moon on steroids will bring a destined opportunity to your life. As this is the second eclipse in Sagittarius out of four that we will experience during this cycle, you will see similar themes arise that began near the first one on June 5, 2020. Look back to what was occurring then, as similar situations are likely to echo yet again.

The fourteenth comes packed with other astrological goodies, too. Venus in Scorpio will sextile benevolent Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibration will encourage people to socialize, make love, and be kind. Embrace this gorgeous alignment as the holiday season surrounds you. Mercury in Sagittarius will trine Mars in Aries, too. This will bring mental clarity, concentration, and decisive communication. The stars are in harmony at this time, so you will see progress toward your goals. Venus will outstretch her hand in a sextile with Saturn the next day as well, bringing stability and security to relationships.

Venus stampedes into the fields of Sagittarius and becomes ignited like a fire dancer beginning December 15. During this time, we will hunger for romantic adventures and may become more impulsive in love and sex. Whether single or attached, we will want to have fun in the weeks ahead. This is perfect for a festive holiday, whether you are socially distancing or able to meet with those who you care for.

Yet, the sixteenth brings the dawning of a new era as mighty Saturn, the planet of life lessons, officially leaves behind Capricorn to venture into Aquarius until March 2023. In the years ahead, we will focus on how society structures itself, particularly in regards to the people’s power and social movements. Technology, science, and community engagement will become topics we must review and strengthen.

Shortly thereafter, another momentous planetary movement occurs. Our Great Benefic, Jupiter, soars on to join Saturn in Aquarius, as well. We are ushering in a new age where we will see a great deal of growth and evolution around global connectivity. Jupiter’s optimism and fortune will help us to see a renewed optimism, while Saturn’s practicality will keep us grounded.

The sun will also meet with Mercury on December 19, bringing clarity to our minds and communication. Prepare for cognitive awakenings and breakthroughs.
