The December Full Moon marks the Wolf Moon when wolves roam through the snow, and bare woods to hunt and play. Wolves and coyotes hunt at night, and their songs can be heard for miles. Although it is not a super moon, this moon is particularly beautiful and luminous, illuminating the world with its light.
The Wolf Moon appears on Sunday, December 15 at 4:02 a.m. ET. Sun (life) is in Sagittarius, the sun sign ruling quests, spiritual study, and long journeys. During the next six days, it’s wise to consider our spiritual course through life before the Sun rolls into Capricorn. The Moon (emotion) in Gemini, an air sign, encourages communication, socialization–and expanding the mind through rapid thoughts and realizations.
Many aspects are found throughout the chart that emphasize the importance of choosing the soul over the ego, including balancing life with challenges/opportunity while leaving space for the inner life. A Grand Trine (very harmonious) between Mars (action), Mercury (communication), and Neptune (illusion/mysticism) unites thought, action, and mysticism in a pleasing way. Mercury direct opens the mind to intuitive downloads and intellectual pursuits. Mercury (mind, communication) is direct, clarifying expression of thoughts and communication. Mars in Leo suggests the importance of choosing actions that align with the heart—while surrendering “pleasing” actions in the outer world.
The Sun (life, light) is found on the following Sabian Symbol, “The Bluebird of Good Luck and Happiness”. It suggests that good and beautiful things (opportunities) are found right outside the door if we look for them. The Wolf Moon amplifies this energy, which is wonderful. The Sun will move over the Galactic Center, awakening the genius and light in everyone who is open to it. This vision is gifted to awakening individuals during the full moon and solstice.
Sun (life) and Moon (emotion) form a T-square with Neptune (illusion, mysticism), which can cause difficulty with focus; it also gives a feeling of laziness or detachment with tasks. On the positive, the aspect can aid with artistic pursuits as well as connection with higher spiritual realizations.
Sun opposition Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) brings opportunities for success and good fortune, and it asks how we will combine our soul (Sun) with opportunity and challenges (Jupiter) for the highest evolution and growth on our journey. Moon (emotion) conjunct Jupiter (expansion, growth) gives feelings of happiness, optimism, and contentment, which are needed during the holiday season.
Mercury (communication) moves direct with the passage of the Full Moon, effectively clearing the confusion accompanying a retrograde. Our thoughts will become clear, electronics will perform well, and travel will become easier. As a result, we’ll gain deeper intellectual understanding along with skill in deciphering intuitive information.
Mercury has many aspects in this chart—unlike other planets—indicating that thought and communication are very important during this moon phase. Mercury sextile Venus (relationships) heightens a positive connection between the mind and emotion. Mercury trine Mars (action) aligns thought and action, and Mercury opposition Jupiter (expansion) asks for evaluation of the truth and our personal expression of truth. Mercury square Saturn (karma) focuses on freeing the mind from patterns that relate to the past. Mercury trine Neptune gives compassion, creativity, and connection, particularly with expression of ideals.
Venus (relationships, art, feminine) is placed in Capricorn, an earth sign, which is a bit cool and practical—definitely not romantic. Venus opposes Mars (action, male) may create a conflict between love and desire. However, real love comes from the heart, which should help with any confusion for my readers. Venus trine Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) increases feelings of harmony, beauty, and creativity. Venus opposes Pluto (subconscious, transformation), which may cause tension or upset in relationships.
Mars (action, male) in Leo, a fire sign, is retrograde. Retrograde Mars pulls on our energy, slowly decreasing it over the next 2-plus months. Mars in Leo, a fire sign, asks for expression of the heart in life, particularly through emotion and action. Mars trine Neptune (illusion, mysticism), amplifying artistic and creative talent and increasing the ability to access esoteric truth. Mars opposition Pluto (subconscious, transformation) can cause outbursts or expression of repressed emotion; the aspect tends to act in a volatile sense.
Jupiter (expansion, growth) in Gemini, an air sign, increases communication via the web, encourages conversation and social interactions, and may cause restlessness or mental agitation. Jupiter square Saturn (karma) asks us to release the past and create a new future based on the interpretation of the inner self.
Saturn (karma, time) is in Pisces, and it may refer to the karma of the past age—or emotional mistakes and patterns (Pisces rules water and emotion) that limit our consciousness. When we become aware of a pattern, we immediately begin to change it.
Uranus (sudden change, quantum field) in Taurus concerns the earth including our feelings about Gaia, planetary change, the outcome of our “modern” society and processed everything, and how we can create changes from within. The field of the earth has been stormy in the past few years. The question is how can we change it? Uranus sextile Neptune (illusion, mysticism) encourages spiritual awakening but causes skepticism toward leaders, authorities, and political structures. Uranus trine Pluto (subconscious, transformation) brings evolutionary change, innovation, and a new view of life.
Neptune (illusion, mysticism) is in the last degrees of Pisces before moving into Aries, which signifies an entirely different time of experiencing group and mass consciousness. In the meantime, Neptune sextiles Pluto (subconscious, transformation) invites self-transformation in a compassionate, helpful way—through compassion and love and by realizing we’re only humans who are making changes as best we can.
Pluto (subconscious transformation) in Aquarius marks another step into the New Age. We may see big changes in electronics, group endeavors, and humanitarian efforts. This placement last occurred during the American and French revolutions.
