New Moon December 19 claims 3I/Atlas' Awakening Kiss with Gaia:
New Moon at 28 degrees Sagittarius arrives joined with the Galactic Center, the Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way, a point in space so mnay indigenous cultures through tens of thousands of years (at least!) have known as where our Solar System issued from. A point of birth and death, contemporary science having at last seen that black holes are about, creation and destruction in massive toroidal oscillation.
Venus and Juno, asteroid ruling relationships and weather among other things, also hover in late Sagittarius near that Galactic Center point. Sagittarian influence so powerfully influential now sends us on mental, physical, and/or spiritual journeys of exploration beyond where we’ve been, and in relation to how much we’ve let go of elements of our past that have weighed us down. Ideally that work has had our full attention over the previous weeks, and even months, to land us at this turning point ready for new adventures. This being human has been a tricky ride indeed. But the key lies in the major mandate of our time; to re-learn what it means to be human in all its multi-dimensional, multi-colorful and endless creative and co-creative possibilities. As we come back into alignment with indestructible, eternal Natural Law, that’s when the co-creative possibilities become almost unimaginable.
This lunation speaks to all that with close and multi-faceted aspects among Mars, Sun-Moon, Juno-Venus in late Sagittarius, early Capricorn, Chiron-Eris in Aries, and Neptune-Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Ta**us and Jupiter in Cancer. These planets may manifest in a dizzying array of immediate and crucial matters crying for attention, at the same time challenging us to check within ourselves fhe truth compass and focus where that leads us.
Jupiter rules the lunation with 4 planets and an asteroid in its sign, as well as 2 more planets and the North Node in its traditional sign of rulership Pisces. This enlivens all tendencies to see things from a higher perspective, elevates the mood of the collective making it easier to come together in building the foundations of a renewed, re-invented future. Through acts large and small and everything in between, the more we remove ourselves from the artificially created divisions and hysteria around faster, more pervasive tech takeover the better the future, Jupiter and Uranus’ territory, becomes.
Mercury square Moon’s Nodes calls for even more thinking outside the usual in how we orient ourselves here and now, where we;ve come and where we’re going. Waves of memories come with the necessity for self forgiveness first, then forgiving others we may not have quite let go of yet. Movement is crucial for all our systems are processing; shaking the body, stomping our feet, twirling, clapping hands, raising arms to the heavens. Doing the dance in our own way helps with moving the eons of energy that must be on its way now and through the next 2 weeks.
In personal charts this New Moon announces a major beginning in the area of life ruled by the House placement(s) of late Sagittarius degrees. It’s in that area we have the best possibilities for being lifted out of old outworn ways and into a wider and more inspiring vision of who and what we are and where our opportunities lie.

AstroRain Report December 10 - 16
Neptune, ruler of all that lies beyond our contemporary human created world of straight lines and sharp edges, has been re-crossing last degrees of its home sign Pisces. This is the culmination of a cycle last experienced 165 years ago, one that brings us back to the essence of life and everything about water in all its manifestations; life giving, cleansing, enlightening and destructive. In the soul’s ongoing journey through countless incarnations Neptune’s open space connects us to Source and to the undeniable reality of the other than human relations we share a world with.
This Pisces journey began in 2012, a powerfully significant year for endings, which is an area of Neptune/Pisces influence and was the transition year according to Mayan Calendar of one 26,000 year cycle ending as another began. From April through most of September this year the Mystic planet traveled through first degrees of Aries in a preview of what’s to come next year as it leaves Pisces for good and re-enters the sign of beginnings, and bold new ones at that, birthing a whole new era for us and the entire planetary community of animal, mineral, plant, elemental, spirit and devic beings. Our reality as early 21st century humans is going through such significant changes we’ll look back a few years from now in wonder and awe.
Saturn also dipped into beginning of Aries end of May through August and will re-gain that territory in mid-February in a most rare, dramatic and exciting collaboration with Neptune birthing new structures. The foundations are being built for human societies based on essential, unchanging principles, natural law existing above and beyond any human constructs. Of course this ending/new beginning is creating, and will continue to create, major challenges. In areas of individual and collective experience where the most essential work is not yet completed the mandate is out to get oriented in courageous dedication to that mission.
And Neptune-Saturn completing the Pisces transit right now are making sure we have a direct line to whatever that mission is for each of us as well as for collective entities such as communities and nations. All it takes is being still and contemplative long enough to allow the inner voice its all important place, in the personal journey and in the ability to listen to each other in groups no matter how local and small or international/global.

Wed 10 Neptune the link to All That Is moves direct today at very last degree of Pisces emphasizing the mystical, visionary aspects of experience, all modes of psychic perception and intuition, imagination. It also amplifies illusions and fantasies, attraction to glamors, glitter and ungrounded wishes not necessarily good for us. We can be easily fooled when not aligned with innate wisdom, the undeniable internal truth meter within all of us.
Mercury’s opposition to Uranus cautions us to breathe and edit before declaring out loud or sending particularly dynamic, dramatic or simply impulsive messages. However it’s also releasing us from outworn ideas, tactics, maybe exposing the need for new tools, information and more creative approach all the way around. Extra care needed in today’s movements as this can be an accident energy pattern if not being properly attentive.
Neptune’s increased influence can add to a tendency for distraction or fogginess. Mercury’s also about to trine the great nebulous planet enhancing all work from creative imagination, working with symbols and deeper comprehension of them showing up everywhere in our lives, and deepening a meditative practice is favored. The biosphere and its kaleidoscope of beings speaks to us daily, and we have forgotten to respond, for the most part. “We give the world its saddest song”. Neptune’s mission is to change that, though the area of human sorrow and all we’ve held or dismissed or left unattended to in some way is up for acknowledging and cleansing with our tears. Personally and together as a species in the throes of evolution we must go through the saddest and most despairing to be re-born more fully human.

Thur 11 Earthy Virgo Moon perfects Last Quarter 12:52 pm ushering in the last week of the cycle. Especially with the epic year 2025 ending this week before New Moon comes with greater intensity as far as releasing old self sabotage habits, some of which may come through ancestral wounds we’re not even aware of. Deep stuff and so much support for getting on with it, validating any inklings that these habits may have deeper roots and are not ours alone at all.
Mercury leaves emotional, moody Scorpio that’s also had us excavating the depths in any and all areas for the golden nuggets of truth and previously hidden scenarios, Having been extra helpful in the area of clearing ancient wounds through deeper awareness. Now the explorations of the mind go far and wide in new adventures with Sagittarius which can also be on the road or in distance travel for the next 3 weeks. But Jupiter's current place seems likely we'll be staying a bit closer to home.This gives a needed uplift in making connections, social and commercial and professional, encouraging lively conversation and enthusiasm in sharing our discoveries in whatever form we choose to communicate them.

Fri 12 Moon enters interactive Libra into Sunday evening, always looking for balance, harmony, beauty, social collaboration. Sometimes we engage skillfully with cardinal air sign, sometimes thinking we can get away with sweeping the unsavory under the rug. Ambivalence is also a Libra unskillful tendency, but the key is in honoring all aspects of a situation in order to make decisions fair for all involved. Going ahead and committing with that intention in mind can get one off the fence.

Sat 13 Libra Moon through the weekend favors all efforts at relationship and social improvements and beautifying space or self. Negotiations toward fair agreements especially supported this afternoon in lunar aspect to Venus, also good for balancing finances. In regards to inclusiveness in all actions impacting others this weekend’s patterns call for special devotion to personal ethics while asserting our own agency and needs free of emotionalism.
“Neutrality comes from true acceptance of a current situation, leading to a lack of judgment, resistance and disappointment. Forgiveness is also a big element of getting to neutrality. Achieving neutrality does not make the situation right. It simply diffuses the energy around it, freeing you up to use it for something else. How much energy do we spend in resistance, anger, regret, disappointment, judgment, expectation, and wishing it would be different? Imagine all of that energy being available to you for dreams, future intentions, creativity and inspiration?" (thepowerpath.com December Forecast)

Sun 14 Sun’s quincunx to Jupiter may create internal or external dynamics where allowing space for emotional healing, and/or attention to our closest friends, family, inner circle of connection are important as it’s easier to gain perspective in those areas. Mars enters Capricorn late evening til last week of January, the sign of its exaltation. That means we can get more done as patience, discipline and consistency are more available with the motivator planet, especially at the start of projects. And as long as we stay away from self created blocks and stalling or sticking with old judgements on our abilities. Also must beware of more bossy, controlling behavior in this phase, our own or others or both.

Mon 15 Scorpio Moon takes us through next 2 days suggests adherence to what feels most authentic while bypassing darker moods unless that’s an intentional part of a healing process. Core values and self-forgiveness support our passage right now even more than usual.

Tues 1 Sun’s square with Saturn can feel heavy if we’re still unclear of where our focus needs to be for this ending time. Otherwise it can substantially help with making the most beneficial commitments and engaging in long term vision. Listening deeply to what are true obligations is while releasing the rest is crucial of course.

3(rd) I(Eye) Atlas (Vertebra): 2026 All New Territory.
It's an awakening alright helping us enter new territory necessary for the next evolutionary step. No matter what the interstellar object is or where it originated from. We look up in wonder, look within in awe. We are not what, who or where we've been indoctrinated into believing.

Sunrise today at Stonehenge — and nature delivered an extremely rare perfect halo. ☀️✨

What makes this moment extraordinary is the rarity of the halo itself. A full solar halo this sharp and perfectly centered requires just the right mix of high-altitude ice crystals, angle of sunlight, and atmospheric clarity — conditions that almost never line up so precisely.

Seeing one form directly over Stonehenge at sunrise is the kind of cosmic alignment that happens maybe once in a lifetime.

13 degrees Gemini Full Moon, Sagittarius Sun face off 3:14 pm illuminating where we’ve come to completion from November 19 New Moon in Scorpio. Or where more work is required to complete at least a stage of the bigger goals and intentions in the works, as culmination of the daunting, demanding, and invitation to a new kind of mastery the year 2025 has been. Grand Water Trine becomes part of a major Kite aspect with innovative, shocking and exciting Uranus at the forward looking head and Mercury highlighting and working out the details at the tail in thoroughly devoted Scorpio. These planets in close opposition set loose the wild in our human animal nature, while Neptune-Saturn and Jupiter continue immersion in the vast ocean of existence expanding consciousness ever further into the reaches of the unknown. The Kite foretells another crucial point of awakening to Earth Mother’s movements. Floods, eruptions, quakes continue signaling crises that must be honored.
For individuals the Gemini-Sagittarius axis in horoscope is where a new awareness is lit up to guide us into the next stage. Finishing with what has turned out to be the main challenge or challenges of the year prepares us most effectively for the territory ahead, in some ways all new! Breath an important aspect of mutable air sign’s realm any practices we begin, continue or deepen in conscious breathing receive abundant support.
Mercury quincunx, Mars trine Chiron-Eris create probable mayhem in communications; all kinds of messaging, conversation, news stories, twists and turns in our thinking on important issues personal and public. Care and caution advised in all interactions, but as we breathe into the core, check with the inner editor, this can enable fine tuned, authentic and healing exchanges and/or internal wounding. Mars in tight conjunction with Juno gives us full and support permission to work on partnerships of all kinds from a higher perspective.
Outer planets Pluto, Neptune-Saturn and Uranus extend over time their harmonious relationships in sextiles and trine. They promote greater ease in exiting the old outworn aspects of our reality and stepping into the new free of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual baggage of a dying paradigm. But that may also manifest as forcefully pushing us along depending on awareness and willingness.

AstroRain Report November 26 - December 2
Two planets make their pivot to direct motion this week, both of them part of the generous, psychic, mystical and in many ways messy, Grand Water Trine, a tidal wave of emotions, psychic vision, spiritual experiences and in the material world floods, eruptions and the next level of mass movements. Saturn in Pisces and Mercury in Scorpio signal support for getting on with primary areas of concern, ability to make decisions, agreements and access more reliable information sources. Some of which are in places and with people we’d never have expected.

Wed 26 Venus in her power and glory in fixed water sign Scorpio implores us to go deep into love, self valuing, prioritizing the heart in all matters including money and resources. She’s joined the potent Grand Water Trine in exact aspects with Jupiter the Expander/Explorer and Saturn the Teacher/Manifestor. Shared resources are part of this potent pattern, it’s likely for money matters to arise within partnerships and important decisions to be made in that realm and about any shared property.

Thur 27 Saturn at 25 degrees Pisces turns direct on this major holiday in the US always wrought with complex feelings and so often family and relationship patterns unresolved. After almost 4.5 months operating in a more underground fashion since July brings up important matters from the summer needing further attention. The period has had us re-visiting the events, plans, commitments from the first part of this mega transitional year in order to move forward more informed, more sensitive to what has become out of control, messes to clean up in any or all areas of life. Memories play an important role with the water sign this being a turning point where old emotional puzzles or tangles may receive greater clarity in regards to our role in final and healing resolution. The emotional qualities, also given Saturn’s proximity to Neptune, may become overwhelming if we’re not prepared to encounter whatever comes up with humor and compassion. And especially for self! With the kinds of gatherings happening today and these extraordinary energies at work creating a circle even briefly where all join hands generates a wave of blessing in a fractured world.
It’s First Quarter Pisces Moon square Sagittarius Sun late tonight reinforcing the themes of empathy, compassion, visionary experiences along with the chaos and confusion generated by out of control power players, those who hoard increasingly massive amounts of wealth and rule over too many world governments. Saturn rules those institutions of society exerting more powerful influence as it pivots. This will likely result in developments globally as masses of people move with the rising tide, some in political action and so many still being displaced from homelands mostly due to the voracious greed and war mongering of the so called developed countries. Saturn in Pisces has been a will continue to demand more humanitarian social-economic systems aligned with the core principles of spiritual traditions.
For individuals this turning point brings up our own ideals and beliefs and how committed to them we are in regards to the day to day business of life. We enter the second week of the lunar cycle with the imperative to work with those essential aspects of the soul’s journey as the energies build to Full Moon and its opportunities for fulfillment. In personal charts the Houses where 4-8 degrees of Pisces and Sagittarius fall are the areas where the most wisdom is found for this transition.

Fri 28 Continuing ti ride the massive wave bringing both magic and mayhem. Today’s Moon-Mars square in the evening is best used allowing inner guidance to show the way forward rather than going for the most practical route, and of course we can’t go against the tide of Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune making intuition a priority.

Sat 29 Mercury direct in the morning turns within orb of the Grand Water Trine making an even bigger case for inner wisdom and being guided by signs and signals resonating with our true nature. Thinking is clearer yet only if we’re listening deeply, open to the unusual and unexpected ideas and opportunities arising now. Last 10 degrees of Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces are areas of receiving most important messages and images, musical and poetic in their delivery in many cases. Green light for decisions, contracts, alliances while remaining aware Jupiter has more input to share in March of next year. Moon enters firey Aries 5:07 pm inspiring restlessness with the urge to get going. Venus opposes Uranus meanwhile which means be prepared for surprises, shocks, revelations, wild awakenings in love and money, the kind that can liberate us from a situation or relationship or relationship pattern no longer serving our own good or the good of all.

Sun 30 Venus’ exact trine to Neptune opens even wider the “doors of perception” while continuing to offer experiences of synchronicity, expanding on compassion, empathy, mystical encounters. Healing is available like never before in relationships old and current and also in self sabotaging habits with finances. But this can go the other way and enable out of control emotional reactions that only make things worse. Our state of consciousness is the key. Moon trine Sun early starts the day with contrasting energies, from creative vision, soft and sweet encounters and a call to the next adventure, internal or external. Venus’ entry into Sagittarius right after noon supports getting moving on most creative and new exploration urges. Venus may very well be acting as ambassador to any and all interstellar entities visiting our Solar System with important consciuosness expanding experiences.

Mon Dec 1 Aries Moon starts off December impassioned and readying us to act on what seems the most balancing and healing direction to take as it joins Chiron the Sacred Warrior early and squares Jupiter soon after with a strong connection to higher mind. However beware any tendencies to bite off more than we can chew advises Moon-Jupiter.

Tues 2 Moon has shifted to slower, calmer, earthy Ta**us helping us catch up on where we are within the extraordinary movement of energies, developing events and encounters with all new realities. Venus, Queen of the Heavens, now makes a highly creative, sensual, transformative aspect with Pluto. Are we ready for the truth about who and what we are that wholly refutes what we’ve been indoctrinated to believe by millennia of sad old paradigm dogma?

AstroRain Report November 19-25
Extraordinary amount of multi-dimensional energies at work as New Moon comes in to intitiate the next cycle late on the 19th. The heights and depths of what we’re exposed to remain at levels never before experienced. At least in the last few millenia when humans have had dominion over this planet. At present so many enigmas and needing to be resolved complexities come to the fore with Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron, Eris and Ceres all retrograde. Many faceted agendas exist for carefully, and with newly awakened minds ideally, re-working the most important matters we face. Within our own individual realm and within the ever expanding circles of communities, all crucial parts of a changing world.

Wed 19 Major aspects of the New Moon chart include 2 Kites and a highly mystical, as well as earth bound, Mystic Rectangle. With Uranus the Head and Sun-Moon-Mercury the Tail of one Kite, and Pluto the Head and Jupiter the Tail of the other the amount of guidance and mental, physical, spiritual breakthroughs possible may take us beyond old boundaries, blockages, emotional tangles that have kept us imprisoned or weighed down for a long time. A major aspect of he prison, along with our own unique issues, has been the false world view of old paradigm characterizing us as essentially avaricious and self serving beings, flawed from birth, who need the intervening of those in higher authority to set us right. Takes a while to undo that sticky web as it’s taken a while for it to be woven into our reality. Sun-Moon marriage in at 29th degree of Scorpio provides a potent opportunity for progress. Amidst beliefs and constant assertions of “that’s just the way things are” we may find ourselves diligently unpeeling them from the wings we’re naturally born with. Time to test them out in smaller ways to get ready to fly!
But first the deepest dark places must be encountered with courage and the knowing that it all is the process of transformation, in the personal and in the collective. The whole world in the process of coming into a greater state of unity as our species was made for, and that has had millenia of experience from the far past. Pre-history and history as told by the patriarchy. has been mostly false. In individual lives the floodgates are open with emotionally powerful experiences calling us to surrender what feels heavy, dense, murky or in any way having an energy draining or energy lowering impact on us. The Grand Water Trine of Sun-Moon-Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune-Saturn may be overwhelming if not well grounded and determined to navigate this tsunami of life changing proportions. If becoming overwhelmed the message from planetary relations for earthlings is to trust in the beneficence of the journey through surrender. Requires dedication to self care and making sure to avoid situations that have the possibility of getting out of control, being around people who may not have our best interests at heart.
For those with planets or points in late Virgo this New Moon’s patterns create a Grand Sextile, a 6 pointed Star, acting as a rare portal to greater harmonies and grace in their lives. An opportunity not to be missed. The overall intensity and volatility of the lunation suggests serious intention along with wide open hearts to the prevalent delights and beauty surrounding us. Self compassion and compassionate presence for those around us in their own struggles bring powerful rewards.

Thur 20 Sun-Mercury in exact conjunction today makes it the one day in retrograde period where it’s safer to make decisions, agreements, even well considered contracts. Thinking is clearer as far as what the review process has revealed in the last 11 days, and the 2 planets in fixed water sign promise in depth perceptions, more authenticity in interactions, the ability to see through any hidden agendas, deceptions, murky motives. Most favorable paying attention to suspicions arising regarding important matters. Journaling and other writing projects benefit from this combination initiating the new cycle with profound comprehension and insights that may not have previously been accessible.
Moon shifts to Sagittarius overnight and forms a friendly sextile with Pluto before dawn starting the day reinforcing sensitivity to authenticity, being fearlessly truthful. Meanwhile the overall energy dynamics issue from Uranus and Neptune’s exact sextile, combine the earthly and the divine with especially potent, electrical and mystical probabilities. Expect the unexpected and be prepared to further validate growing instances of synchronicities that cannot be passed off as coincidence. There’s high magic in this aspect, and at the same time plenty of revelations about harms to the biosphere that must be addressed here and now.

Fri 21 The magic and wonder continue sending lightening bolts of awakening with Sun opposing Uranus and trine Neptune exact. Expansion of consciousness, further comprehension of the miraculous, exist wherever we turn if we allow ourselves to release the culturally constructed blinders usually in place. Still in a time of internal processing it’s necessary to make space for all that entails, some of which takes us well out of familiar territory. Being prepared for the discomfort that comes with such times of growth helps the entire process immensely. Sun enters Sagittarius 5:36 pm for the next 30 days along with encouragement to trust in the higher purpose we base our lives on. Or for the quest to find what that is.

Sat 22 With both Sun and Moon in the mutable fire sign the mood continues to inspire explorations and investigations demanding our attention. Retrograde Mercury in potent trines with retrograde Saturn and retrograde Jupiter today direct us into the most essential rabbit holes where we’ll find the lost or hidden information, ideas, tactics, tools, allies for the next phase. And to avoid the waste of time and energy distraction only rabbit holes. An important day in the entire Mercury retrograde passage which will end on the 29th. Our relationship to time itself is changing. Moon has entered Capricorn by 2:53 pm providing more input on the matter of time and how we choose to commit our precious life force energy in day to day routines. Essentially anything is possible now that we dedicate ourselves to manifesting!

Sun 23 Sagittraius Sun sextile Pluto in Aquarius certainly has a serious feel to it but also offers a boost in liberating ourselves from the patterns of the past which we’ve been hard at work on. Capricorn Moon supports grounding and a measure of caution in the midst of entering unfamiliar territory.

Mon 24 Multiple lunar aspects keep us busy all day in various areas needing more concentrated attention. A lot can be accomplished if we stay with internal guidance on what, who and where our focus will be most fruitful. Dedication to staying on track of course works best, otherwise the more challenging areas may overtake us. Retro Mercury stirs up more memory, old issues crucial to address now, and re-visits any unresolved relationship or money problems. With clear intention and the will to trust in our own process solutions are accessible.

Tues 25 Moon enters Aquarius for open mindedness, futuristic musings and increased tendencies to experiment with new ideas, techniques or approaches to problem solving. Also up is curiosity about the discoveries and Solar System anomalies our current science can’t explain and won’t go to new places with for the most part. Great care advised with whatever came up yesterday in partnerships, friendships and financial matters. Our current adventure hasn’t quite unfolded yet into full view, but it’s decidedly one of grand proportions if we stay with our own inner guidance and wisdom throughout the external high level of mayhem.
