At 2:36 a.m.: Venus stations retrograde in Capricorn

Before sun-up, Venus stations retrograde in Capricorn, prompting us to reevaluate our relationship to love, money, and pleasure. Venus entered her pre-retrograde shadow on November 17, so we have been building up to the climax of this thematic reassessment over the past month. Capricorn prompts us to question who or what are we investing our time, energy, and resources in. Also, are we doing it for the right reasons? This period can stimulate conflicts in partnerships if two people are on different pages regarding their personal values. However, this transit does not cause breakups unless pre-existing foundations are unstable. It can actually serve to bring two people closer together if they are committed to negotiating their priorities. For singles, this is a less ideal time to enter a union, because our romantic criteria is in flux. Solidifying an arrangement would be like trying to find footing on shifting sand. Instead, focus on self-care and delineating what you truly desire in romance. Getting clear on your standards will align you with the relationships you deserve!

At 8:33 a.m.: Chiron stations direct in Aries

In the morning, Chiron stations direct in Aries after five months retrograde. During this time, we have been focused on inner work, evaluating how past wounds play out in our current interactions. Avoiding reactive states through contemplation has done wonders to reparent our inner child and mitigated the frequency with which we run into the same triggering scenarios. Yet, at this time, challenges begin to present themselves in our daily lives again. Now that we have received cosmic education in maintaining confidence, we will be given tests to make sure the lessons stick! Be mindful to meet conflict with composure, challenging the voice of our inner saboteur and our real-world aggressors.
