Transit in the Sky: December 2024


December 2nd - Ketu in U.Phalguni Virgo Ketu, the south node of the Moon, is transiting through the lunar mansion of Uttara Phalguni in the sign of Virgo. Ketu, the headless tail of the dragon, is helpless in the Sun-ruled nakshatra of leadership. The combination of Ketu's influence and this lunar mansion indicates detached energy within the ego.


December 7th—Mars Retrograde in Pushya Cancer Mars, the planet of action and energy, is going retrograde in the lunar mansion of Pushya in the sign of Cancer. The Pushya nakshatra is associated with nourishment, growth, and spiritual sustenance. Mars's retrograde motion in this placement can slow down external progress and attach emotion to things of the past. Directing this energy inward brings much introspection and emotional healing.


December 14th—Full Moon in Rohini The Full Moon occurs in the lunar mansion of Rohini, which is associated with creativity, beauty, and wonder. Rohini is ruled by the Moon, and when the Moon is in there, it can produce a restless mind. The Sun in Scorpio wants to purify baseless fears, while the Moon in Taurus wants peace and comfort.

December 16th - Sun in Sagittarius The Sun, representing our strength and vitality, enters Sagittarius this Month. This brings focus to our beliefs and where our truths reside. A Sun ruled by Jupiter brings integrity and strength together.


December 28th - Saturn in P. Bhadrapada Aquarius Saturn, the planet of discipline, structure, and limitations, is moving into the lunar mansion of Purva Bhadrapada in the sign of Aquarius. This placement can signify a time of examining one's personal and societal structures, boundaries, and the need for responsible, long-term planning. Purva Bhadrapada is associated with the sword. There is a choice between using the sword to defend the helpless and using it to yield power.
