Weekly Forecast: December 3 – 8, 2023, Kelly M. Beard, 5 December 2023

12/3  ::  Venus (your values) ~square~ Pluto (transformation):

In the cosmic dance of celestial energies, this planetary activation heralds a profound and potent moment, demanding our attention and urging us to embark on a transformative journey. Its influence reverberates intensely, compelling us to venture beyond the familiar realms into uncharted territories, particularly in the spheres of relationships and finances. Prepare for an immersion into the depths of emotional resonance, as this activation sparks encounters and exchanges with others that unearth insecurities and stir hidden fears within oneself or within the dynamics shared between you. Stability finds itself absent from the equation, signaling an imminent and inevitable wave of change. The rumblings of this shift may have already grazed your awareness, yet now it stands fully present, offering an invitation to act with foresight or face the repercussions of delaying the inevitable. As I often profess, the adage of “Pay now or pay double later” echoes all through this transit. Despite the natural inclination to clutch onto familiarity, resist that temptation. Pluto, as is its nature, intensifies all that it touches. Embracing the necessary purification and embracing change stands as the wise choice, alleviating the potential for greater discomfort that comes when you resist Pluto’s purification & transformative powers. Activate your inner compass, discern your renewed values, and align with your truest priorities of here & now. In choosing change consciously, you lay the groundwork for a new & different future, free from the shackles of the old or an opportunity for something new that resonates more harmoniously with your natural essence and current aspirations.

12/4  ::  Venus Enters SCORPIO (until Dec 29th):

As you navigate the intricate tapestry of relationships within the airy mental realm of Libra, the journey takes a profound turn as you venture into Scorpio’s deeper soul-level territory. This transition reveals new depths of existence, amplifying your profound interconnectedness with all facets of life. As Venus strides into Scorpio, it illuminates the Soul’s Journey, unveiling the subtle energies that influence your life and connections. This celestial movement exposes ideas and beliefs, previously concealed or submerged within the subconscious, and brings them into your conscious awareness. In this revelation, you are confronted with aspects of self-deception, outdated habits, and illusions that no longer align with the person you have evolved into over the past 2-8 years. Now is the moment to identify and release any self-sabotaging tendencies, dispel illusions, confront inner shadows, and bring clarity to your intentions. It’s a time for exploring motivations and their core essence and renewing your personal definitions of love, abundance, beauty, and vitality. Reflect deeply on your desires and the underlying motivation for them so that you can figure out how to manifest or draw them into your reality. Scorpio embodies the energy and teachings of karma and creation, holding us accountable for the manifestations & choices that we make along the way. It emphasizes the significance of willing integrity and honorable sacrifices, creating space for the mystical forces of Ancestors and the Invisible realms to contribute and guide you too. Venus in Scorpio serves as a poignant reminder that you are merely a conduit of power, not its source. Acknowledging your role as a vessel for the expression of this sacred energy while exercising free will and conscious choice becomes crucial, especially during the intense influence of Scorpio. This period urges the release of deep-rooted issues, making room for the sowing of NEW seeds of potential. Engaging in visible, tangible actions aligned with your intentions and then allowing the invisible force of Source Energy to infuse life into them marks the most effective utilization of this transformative time and potent energy. Though the journey may be demanding and marked with intensity, navigating through discomfort and facing the revelations of darker truths leads to a cleansing, a lighter essence, and an enhanced empowerment. It enables you to wield your power more adeptly, adapting as necessary in a world shaped by the natural rhythm of the Life/Death/Life Cycle.

12/5  ::  Neptune Direct in PISCES:

If we liken the Moon to the individual womb, then Neptune embodies the collective womb. As Neptune undergoes its Annual Retrograde, it offers us a conscious opportunity to cultivate something meaningful, often intertwined with the realms of healing and integration. These retrogrades serve as invitations to delve inward, to heal, mend, or integrate aspects crucial for our overall well-being. What personal healing journey have you embarked upon since July 2023? Neptune is renowned as the planet of dreams and visions. Under normal celestial circumstances, it inspires daydreaming, fosters creativity, and paints a hopeful, idealistic picture of life, relationships & projects. However, when Neptune Retrogrades, although less jolting than Uranus or Pluto, it remains a potent force to consciously co-create with. The last 5-6 months have been gently dissolving personal boundaries, fostering an awareness of our connection to the whole. Not a bad idea, but to some, it can be unsettling if they are rigidly holding onto boundaries for a false sense of security. Hopefully, you’ve been able to clear the fog, reestablish your boundaries and reconnect to your Spirit in a way that helps you navigate the world better going forward, especially now that it is Direct.

12/5  ::  Venus (values & priorities) ~trine~ Saturn (stability & endurance):

During this activation, an effortless and harmonious energy prevails, offering you a fertile ground to conscientiously engage with, which can lead to remarkable and palpable outcomes. It is an opportune moment to crystallize your vision and clarify your definitions within the realm of relationships, for your values and priorities are distinctly illuminated. Drawing from your past positive choices and endeavors, you can anticipate positive benefits and well-deserved rewards heading your way. If you have sidestepped your responsibilities in any relationships, be they public or private, this energy provides a chance to realign, offering a smoother course, unlike the challenges typically associated with Saturn’s influence. Practicality regarding your limitations and a realistic evaluation of others’ contributions are keys to leveraging this energy. It supports discussions aimed at progress, growth, or elevating to a higher collective level, which can also foster teamwork and a sense of kinship. Engaging in strategic planning for the future, delineating a vision that safeguards and nurtures all involved, and honoring the vital essence of life pulsating through these interactions find profound support through this harmonious alignment. Venus embodies the energies of love, money & magnetics, and Saturn advocates for an objective and somewhat conservative approach to both your relationships and finances. Given this fusion of potent energies, I recommend outlining realistic relationship or financial goals spanning the next 3, 6, 9, or 12 months as a guiding compass for this time.

12/7  ::  Mercury (learning & mind) ~trine~ Jupiter (education & consciousness):
(1 of 3: 12/7 :: 12/18 :: 1/19)

This energetic phase offers a splendid opportunity to broaden your horizons, delve into new learning endeavors, or enroll in a class or workshop. It’s a moment to lay the groundwork for future plans and begin organizing your aspirations. However, you might find yourself feeling less tethered to discipline and more drawn to creative impulses. While this creative surge at the outset is beneficial, eventually, focus and discipline becomes essential to anchor your blossoming ideas, thoughts, or concepts into reality. If you remain self-aware, awake, and attentive, you will be able to naturally discern, see and seize the opportunities as they present themselves. What might seem like luck is truly a reflection of your inner alignment with the universal forces, your presence within your own body, a positive mindset, and, ultimately, trust in your own instincts. Remember, it’s about practice; perfection is not the goal. Cultivating optimism and perceiving opportunities in every experience act as magnets for positivity while naturally repelling negativity, steering you toward your desired destination. Seize this auspicious energy to forge connections that align with your current aspirations and intentions in life.

12/9  ::  Venus (love, art & beauty) ~oppose~ Jupiter (expansion):

This vibrant energy invites us to revel in the joys of nature, relish delectable food & drink, savor the company of delightful companions, and indulge in hearty laughter! It’s a celebratory energy, beckoning us to embrace its pleasures, yet urging moderation and mindfulness towards our own individual health and well-being. This energy is deeply creative, igniting the flames of the true Inner Artist inherent within each of us. Moreover, it marks a midpoint—a pivotal juncture—in relationships or creative endeavors that commenced around 6-months ago. It prompts reflection: Is this path still viable? Does the narrative we weave align with our own truth? Where lies the value, and is it worth continuing on this trajectory? These questions demand contemplation at this juncture. Whether one identifies as an artist or not, this activation fosters an infinitely creative atmosphere, significantly expanding individual work & personal potential. Embrace this moment to ignite your imagination, expand your vision, and embody hope & joy today. However, tomorrow beckons a shift toward a new direction that resonates more authentically with your individual essence and personal truth.
