Your Week Ahead Astrology

Happy last week of 2024!

“And God created the stars as signs” quote from the Bible. Omens, messages and insights can be found written in the sky through the symbolism of stars and planets (known back then as wandering stars). Ancients knew this and thus listened and followed the signs. We can listen to our intuition too and pay attention to the signs that the Divine places in our daily path. The New Moon occurring at the every end of 2024 is quite an omen.  

On the afternoon of December 30th, we have a New Moon in Capricorn as well as a sextile aspect between Pluto and the North Node. The New Moon chart also highlights the ongoing opposition between Mars and Pluto.  The New Moon Phase will influence us from now until the next New Moon. It’s time to set new intentions in the Capricorn sector of your chart and plant new seeds in your life that will grow within the next 6 months.

The New Moon in Capricorn presents the sign of Capricorn to the world, now free from the Pluto frequencies from 2008. All Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) placements in your Natal Chart are feeling this big shift in energy – no more Pluto in Capricorn. Take the lessons, learn from the past and start rebuilding! A brand, new life cycle begins for the Capricorn and Cardinal sectors in our Natal Charts. What will you build, create, and manifest now?

The Pluto sextile to the North Node. Pluto is signaling us to follow our North Star. What is your North Star? What is your guiding Light? The Nodes of Fate in Astrology can be doorways, places where new people, places and situations arrive into our lives. They are also thresholds where people, places and situations may be left behind. As Pluto sextile the North Node and trines the South Node, we are releasing something and allowing something new to come in. Notice how that is showing up in your life.

The Current State of Pluto

Pluto is now in Aquarius and will knock at the door of all our Fixed Sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) placements in our charts. Notice where Pluto in Aquarius is showing up in your chart. Pluto will visit that sector from now until 2043!

Pluto is a process of deep internal and external transformation and irreversible change. Pluto can be a wrecking ball, that will break through every structure in our lives that is not built on solid, true and lasting ground. He comes to test the strength and power of structures in our lives. How solid is the life you have built for yourself? How real and true are the foundations in your life? Castles built on sand or clouds will fall to the ground so that you may build something real, true and lasting.

Pluto also teaches us about power. The kind of power that rises from deep within the human spirit. Pluto is the God of Death and of the Underworld, when he knocks at our door, we are taken by the hand into the Valley of the Shadow of Death…we are tested…we enter into the darkest places of our psyche and heart…into death and rebirth…in the darkest of dark, we are able to see the flame that Lights our spirit…we recognize ourselves as Who We Truly Are  - a spark of the Divine. 

It is the darkest of dark that we become Light. We discover the power of our Soul and most importantly, the power of the Divine. It is in the breaking of the cocoon that the caterpillar realizes it is a butterfly. Pluto is the process of becoming that helps you become a butterfly.  

All Cardinal signs have learned powerful lessons about Pluto since 2008. Now, Pluto sextiles the North Node and on an individual level, Pluto, the planet of death and transformation, seems to be pointing us to our North Star. The North Node represents our sense of purpose, direction and future. Pluto sextile the North Node, is asking us to place our focus and energy on our chosen direction. We are asked to focus on the path ahead of us. What future are we creating for ourselves individually and collectively?

In addition to the powerful New Moon that is taking us into new places and situations that we have not been before. On December 31, Mercury trines Chiron. Mercury the Messenger of God is also the planet that rules the medical field and healing of all kinds. As Mercury trines Chiron (a healer and teacher as well) we are given an opportunity to heal. Notice what energies within you require healing before you step into the New Year. Notice what you carry within. Notice what needs tending, care and rest. Notice the state of your mind, heart and body. What hurts? What needs healing? What needs nurturing? What needs love and attention?

The last day of the year provides a powerful opportunity to take stock of your wellness and of your life. Take a moment to pause and look within. Next year is a big year. Replenish your energy. Rest. Meditate. Work with Mercury and Chiron and give yourself love and attention. And notice who else around you needs healing, love and attention. Help. Care for your loved ones and yourself. We are all in this together.

It is also a great day to write letters of forgiveness (you don’t have to send them, its just for you) and forgive the past. Surrender 2024 and all the years prior. Its time to move ahead into 2025.
