Horoscope For Today: Monday, December 9, 2024

Though Sagittarius and Pisces make a harsh square to one another, they are both ruled by idealistic and expansive Jupiter. As of today, the sun is still fixed in Sag, lending us vitality, drive, and optimism, while the moon completes its transit through Pisces in the early hours of the morning.

This lends a mystical and creative tone that is magnified considerably at 3:44 AM EST, when the moon makes an exact conjunction with Neptune at 27°. This energy lends itself very nicely to creative innovation, particularly in the visual arts and music. It’s also a powerful time for divine insights, significant dreams, and spiritual enlightenment.

However, the darker side of this energy is more of the same we have been experiencing ever since Neptune entered Pisces way back in 2011: illusion, delusion, and disassociation. It is crucial to stay grounded, question everything, and don’t allow fear-mongering or conspiracy to pull you deeper into the murky Neptunian undertow.

With Venus running only slightly ahead of Pluto in Aquarius, the astrological weather still points to revolution, as it has all week. However, it’s important to remember what, exactly, you’re fighting for. Consider whether you’re willing to risk your comfort or safety for the cause, or if you’re simply energized by the mobilization around you.

The moon ingresses into Aries at 8:38 AM, reflecting a massive collective change in mentality: that of the warrior, rather than the poet. There’s no getting around it: from that moment on, the moon will make several highly significant aspects that are guaranteed to trigger the collective into serious action. Proceed with caution when the moon makes a sextile to Pluto at 0° Aquarius at 9:21 AM. When the moon conjoins the karmic North Node at 2° at 1:10 PM, our anger will reach a fever pitch.

However, there’s also the moon-Venus sextile at 2° Aquarius at 1:33 PM, which promises a brief reprieve in which emotional reactivity slows and some form of metaphorical truce is offered.

Today isn’t going to be easy, at either the macro or micro levels. But just as Pisces isn’t always going to drown you, Aries isn’t necessarily going to burn down your house. The positive, light sides of both signs will drive us to create change today, and with the right balance of courage and tact, you’re likely to succeed at achieving your personal goals, whatever they may be.

How can you expect today to unfold for you, according to your rising sign? Read on.

Aries

As the moon makes its way through your twelfth house this morning, you can expect your dreams to be more vivid and meaningful—especially when it makes a conjunction with Neptune. If you awaken with any especially striking insights, make sure to write them down, but be wary of your own tendency to go overboard. Keep your goals realistic. When the moon ingresses into you first house later this morning, you’ll feel more powerful and capable of achieving your dreams. Later, the moon’s sextile to Pluto in your eleventh house helps you take that action into your social sphere; the moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your first house this afternoon places you in the right place at the right time, and encourages you to speak boldly. Your presence will be large, influential, and potentially intimidating. Later, the moon’s sextile to Venus in your eleventh house brings more power to your wider network, especially if you’re trying to connect with other likeminded women.

Taurus

The moon finishes off its transit through your eleventh house in the early hours of the morning, reflecting your emotional need for community, but when it conjoins Neptune, you might be misguided by someone you thought was a friend. Don’t overlook the red flags. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Once the moon ingresses into your twelfth house, you’ll feel a greater tendency to isolate and engage in introspective practices like journaling and meditation in order to gain greater clarity. This self-awareness will serve you well when the moon makes a sextile to Pluto in your tenth house, causing big shifts to the way you emotionally engage with the public. The moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your twelfth house enables you to see, with more clarity, the changes that must occur in your psyche before you move forward. Finally, the moon’s sextile to Venus in your tenth house presents you with opportunities to take action towards your loftiest goals, especially if you work in a female-dominated workplace—or are trying to break the glass ceiling in an industry that historically underrepresents women.

Gemini

While the moon is transiting your tenth house early this morning, your reputation is being highlighted. When it forms a conjunction with Neptune, certain revelations about your private life might become too public for comfort. On the other hand, misinformation might start spreading like wildfire. Stay calm and trust that karma has your back. When the moon ingresses into your eleventh house, you’ll feel empowered to reach out to your support system, who will help you stay grounded amidst the chaos. They’ll remind you to have faith no matter what, especially when the moon makes a sextile to Pluto in your ninth house. The moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your eleventh, too, will usher in a moment of clarity about your direction and soul purpose. Later on, the moon’s sextile to Venus in your ninth offers spiritual insights and opportunities to connect with other women across religious and cultural boundaries.

Cancer

During the moon’s transit through your ninth house in the early hours of the morning, you’ll feel encouraged to broaden your perspective and learn as much as you can, but avoid falling too far down a particular rabbit hole, lest you lose your grasp on reality, when the moon forms a conjunction with Neptune. The line between divine insight and spiritual psychosis is very thin. Once the moon ingresses into your tenth house, you’ll feel eager to take your findings public and shake up your public reputation, even at the risk of alienating a portion of your audience. It might just pay off, thanks to the moon’s sextile to Pluto in your eighth house, which could deliver major financial rewards and spiritual fulfillment. Similarly, the moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your tenth promises a moment of clarity regarding your long-term goals. Later, when the moon sextiles Venus in your eighth, you’ll feel profoundly supported by the women around you, some of whom may wish to invest financially or emotionally in your latest passion project.

Leo

As the moon finishes off its transit through your eighth house this morning, you’re likely to feel moodier than usual, and when it makes a conjunction with Neptune, you might feel overwhelmed by negative emotions and choose to self-medicate. Rather than numbing your pain, use it to create some meaningful art. When the moon ingresses into your ninth house, you’ll feel a shift towards optimism and freedom, and you may find it easier to objectively analyze your feelings. Thanks to the moon’s sextile to Pluto in your seventh house, you’ll find yourself engaging in deep, philosophical conversations with your closest friends and partner. This is the time when you’ll learn if you’re truly compatible or if your values have shifted. Is your relationship on rocky ground right now? When the moon conjoins the North Node in your ninth house, you’ll face the reckoning you’ve been dreading. It’s better to simply rip the Band-Aid off; if a relationship isn’t working, it’s okay to walk away. The moon’s sextile to Venus in your seventh house promises that you’ll find support amongst women in your community. Lean on your closest female friends right now.

Virgo

The moon’s transit through your seventh house early this morning places your focus on your closest friendships and partnerships, which you might be seeing through rose-colored glasses; when the moon conjoins Neptune, you might find yourself falling into the realm of fantasy when your rational mind knows better. Sometimes a situationship is truly just a situationship, not your soulmate, no matter how many angel numbers you’ve seen lately. Once the moon ingresses into your eighth house, you might have to face the grief you’ve been suppressing through denial. And when the moon makes a sextile to Pluto in your sixth house, you can be sure you’ll feel the physical effects of all the stress you’ve been carrying in your body recently. The moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your eighth house reflects a moment of painful clarity that will nonetheless guide you in the direction you need to be. Finally, the moon makes a sextile to Venus in your sixth house, emphasizing the importance of female community. Your health and productivity will inevitably suffer if you don’t surround yourself with positive, encouraging influences.

Libra

As the moon completes its transit through your sixth house in the early hours of the morning, your productivity is at an all-time high and you can anticipate sparks of sudden creativity, especially when the moon forms a conjunction with Neptune. The best way to participate in this energy is to create, rather than to consume; you run the very strong risk of falling too deep into conspiratorial thinking, which will distract you from the more practical and productive tasks you need to accomplish today. When the moon ingresses into your seventh house, you can expect your closest partners and friends to give you a healthy dose of tough love and shove you back on track if you’ve fallen off your path. Don’t discount their wisdom right now, even if it comes in the form of brutal honesty. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your fifth house reflects a very romantic and artistic momentum that will continue to build throughout the day, while the moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your seventh house heralds a moment of karmic truth regarding your closest relationships. Whether this is a sudden engagement or a messy breakup will depend entirely on your circumstances. Whatever happens, when the moon makes a sextile to Venus in your fifth house, you can be sure that your best female friends will come out of the woodwork to help you sort out the details.

Scorpio

Early in the morning, the moon finishes its transit through your fifth house, providing you with the ideal energy to create profoundly meaningful art, especially during the conjunction with Neptune. However, you also run the risk of delusion, potentially romanticizing a new romantic partner and missing the red flags that would otherwise be glaringly obvious. Once the moon has ingressed into your sixth house, your productivity will be higher and you will be more willing to put your dreams into action. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your fourth house is likely to trigger generational wounds; the conjunction to the North Node in your sixth represents a catalyzing moment in which you will take stock of what is and isn’t working in your daily routine. Give yourself grace as you try to balance this, and reach out to women in your family if you feel they will be able to provide constructive and helpful advice; when the moon sextiles Venus in your fourth, you will find female solidarity close to home. If your blood family isn’t going to offer this, your found family undoubtedly will.

Sagittarius

In the early hours of the morning, the moon completes its transit through your fourth house, magnifying the importance of your family and home. When the conjunction with Neptune takes place, be especially watchful; if you suspect a sibling is hiding a growing drinking problem or an elderly relative is downplaying an illness, your intuition might just be right. Check in on anyone you’re worried about and offer a show of support. Shortly after, when the moon makes its way into your fifth house, you turn your focus to your creative and romantic life, choosing to be a bit more selfish. If you’ve been tempted to shoot your shot with your crush, today is the day. You’ll be feeling particularly confident. The moon forms a sextile to Pluto in your third house, making it easier to communicate radical or unconventional ideas, while the conjunction to the North Node in your fifth suggests a moment of shocking clarity regarding a creative project or a short-term fling. Finally, when the moon forms a sextile to Venus in your third, you’ll find it easier to connect with likeminded, idealistic women in your local community.

Capricorn

The moon makes its way through your third house in the early hours of the morning, persuading you to be a better communicator and to get more actively involved in your local community. When it makes its conjunction to Neptune, however, you should use discernment, as someone within your ranks might be lying or misleading you in some way. Under this energy you might find stream-of-consciousness journaling to be useful, as you can get all of your conflicting thoughts and feelings onto paper without trying to find consilience. Trust the creative process even if it’s messy. When the moon ingresses into your fourth house, your attention will turn to your home and family, who are likely to offer you a much-needed reality check and crush your self-doubts. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your second house ensures discussions about your finances, and some of you will be fortunate enough to receive assistance from your relatives; the conjunction to the North Node in your fourth signifies a turning point in your familial relationships. Last but certainly not least, the moon’s sextile to Venus in your second house suggests opportunities to surround yourself with affluent, hard-working women.

Aquarius

This morning the moon completes its transit through your second house, and your attention will inevitably be laser-focused on your bank account. Be very cautious about making big purchases, especially when the conjunction to Neptune occurs; under this astro weather you’re likely to get scammed or swindled by a deal that is, unfortunately, too good to be true. If you absolutely must buy something, read the fine print twice over to be sure you’re getting exactly what you’re promised. The moon’s ingress into your third house gives you the courage to speak more boldly and work alongside members of your community to make your dreams a reality. When the moon makes a sextile to Pluto in your first house, though, you will discover that your inner world and private thoughts might actually be the key that unlocks the revolution in your hometown. You have something truly special to offer. When the moon conjoins the North Node in your third house, you can be certain a karmic threshold has been passed. Finally, the moon makes a sextile to Venus in your first house, giving you a subtle radiance and allure that attracts others into your world. This is a great time to start dating again, if you’ve been out of the game for a while.

Pisces

As the moon finishes off its transit through your first house this morning, you will find yourself disillusioned with your identity and physical appearance. Don’t do anything drastic, especially when the Neptune conjunction hits, no matter how tempted you might be to cut your own bangs. What you see in the mirror is unlikely to be a true reflection of yourself. The self-doubt and self-hatred is lessened once the moon makes its way into your second house, at which point you’ll be tempted to indulge in some retail therapy, perhaps as a self-soothing strategy. It could easily turn into self-harm, though, if you don’t have the money to be throwing away on luxuries. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your twelfth house indicates mental health issues will be triggered, and if you struggle with any sort of addictive or compulsive behavior, you may need support from an accountability partner. The moon’s conjunction to the North Node in your second house signifies acceptance: you’ll realize that something about your financial situation has to change, lest you continue walking down a destructive path. The final transit of the day is the moon’s sextile to Venus in your twelfth house, promising love and support from female friends around you. Be honest about your struggles and they will be more likely to open up, too.
