December 20th, 2021

Heading into this most festive of weeks, the astrological energies are thin on cheer and big on grumpiness, if not outright tension. However, the tension eases just in time for December 25th, and lightens considerably thereafter – but don’t be surprised if your festive preparations are mired in angst, anger or apathy.

The week gets off to a fairly constructive start with the December solstice on Tuesday and the arrival of the Sun in Capricorn. This is business-like energy, good for planning ahead and for getting on with practical arrangements for the holidays.

However, the week overall is dominated by the tense and angry square between Saturn and Uranus occurring late on the 23rd or early on the 24th, depending on your time zone. This energy brings intense clashes, particularly between those who want to celebrate in a traditional way versus those who want to do something different. If this is the case within your own family, you may well struggle to find a happy middle ground.

December 24th is Christmas Eve for many of us – but with the Moon opposing Jupiter and squaring Mars, there’s no let up in the angst. Try not to push yourself too hard or expect the impossible from yourself. At this point in the festive season, you are where you are. What’s not done is not done; probably nobody but you will notice, or care, so cut yourself some slack.

Fortunately, Christmas Day itself does bring some relief from the tension. Mars trines Chiron in a suitably healing and forgiving vibe, while a spectacular Venus-Pluto conjunction calms warring parties and bestows peace, if not exactly goodwill to all. Rows and family grudges will be parked; they may well resurface at a later date, but on this day in particular, the astrology supports a truce.
