The Sky Today, December 18, 2023



At 6:28 a.m.: Mercury is trine Jupiter

In the morning, Mercury in Capricorn trines Jupiter in Taurus. This is the second of three aspects between our messenger planet and the Great Benefic during Mercury’s retrograde spin. Their first aspect, which occurred on December 7, saw us formulating a long-range educational, travel, or investment plan. Attention to detail married with good luck, allowing us to reap the benefits of precision and well-conducted research.  Today, however, we may find ourselves rethinking our projected strategy. Luck might temporarily be withdrawn. An offer could be taken off the table, not as punishment, but to ensure our scrutiny. As much as we might have been excited about an opportunity when it first arrived, consider it more practically today. Are you still as enthusiastic about your commitment? Do you need to make further preparations or put a contingency plan in place to accommodate the journey ahead?

At 4:30 p.m.: The moon is trine Venus

In the late afternoon, the Pisces moon trines Venus in Scorpio, an excellent transit for artists or intuitives. Use this occasion to relax, unwind, and allow your creative muse to guide your decisions. We may wish to spend the evening in the company of loved ones. The empathic nature of the planets in water signs improves intimacy in established relationships. Their connection may also help to inspire new attractions sparked in the spirit of fate, karma, or destiny. Romance that arises now will feel magical and purposeful!
