WZBC 90.3 FM Boston Massachusetts on Saturday mornings with Victor Robert Venckus, Expanding Awareness, in and around 9:30 AM.
We are going to be really happy when Mercury is no longer retrograde. Boy, is it really acting up and showing us its stuff. It will go direct on New Year's Day. that would be at like 10:30 at night. It has really been a doozy. Went retrograde in Capricorn, the sign of big business and government. Anything having to do with what you organize and the work that you have to do. Corporate kind of stuff.
Now it is going direct in the sign of Sagittarius, which is uplifting. It should bring some kind of announcement or information with it that is large. We could expect the unexpected because of the fact that Uranus is still retrograde.
We have also today, Jupiter has been retrograde. At 9:40 Tonight, it turns direct. So whatever Mercury Retrograde is doing today, it makes it bigger than life. It is a real large expression of it. But you may want to get up and go and do something fun. It is Jupiter in Taurus. So, I think what people have been doing is spending money.
On New Year's Day there is a Venus square Saturn. That kind of speaks to you are going to cry about it. You are going to be sad about how much money you spent. So, try and rein it in and not spend so much.
And what we have.
Victor: Did you hear me? The headphones are stuck, and start again?
All right. Okay, this is Dietrech with the astrology report for the week ahead. It is December 30th. We are going through until the 5th of January. We have a huge Mercury retrograde. We have also a Jupiter direct station, Jupiter's been retrograde for many months. it when it turns direct, it really lets itself expand whatever options it is in. It is, it is in the sign of money. And that can bring about an expansion of money. You can also plan on having some greater patience even though you might be particularly reckless, Taurus is solid. And it is it is a time when you will not feel like quitting. There is a lot of stubbornness in the sign of Taurus. It is very honest and practical. So, we are likely to get some more of that honesty that we crave so much. They are not afraid of hard work. Taurus is ruled by Venus. So, you can expect that people really want to find some luxury in their life. But food first. Jupiter is going to expand our waistlines, while in the sign making its direct station. It is a wonderful planet; it is a happy planet.
We have Leo Moon today on the 30th of December. That Leo Moon is making a square to Uranus right about now. Moon square Uranus. So sudden abrupt change, anything could happen. Everything is in a really strange, wacky place. Then the Moon will go on later on to parallel Uranus. So, it is trying to buddy up and make things better. That is later on this evening. Whatever it is, you might be doing.
Then the Moon is quincunx Neptune also this evening. Neptune is the planet of sleep and spacing out. Art. Anything having to do with your spiritual side as well.
We go into tomorrow and Sunday. The Moon is still in Leo up until 5:53 AM. The last aspect of that Leo Moon actually, it is a quincunx to Pluto. Pluto's at that very last, last moment of Capricorn. So, every time a planet changes signs it has to kiss Pluto. So, there is some type of adjustment that the Moon is required to make when it is interacting with Pluto. But there is also a Moon trine Mars in there. That is that during this Leo Moon, at the end of this Leo Moon tomorrow morning, Early, just after midnight. That could be a lot of bright, interesting ideas. Or something that is goal oriented in some way.
There is a void of course, Moon, that takes place from 5:33 AM until 6:53 AM. Then the Moon enters Virgo. It will be in the sign of Virgo for a couple of days, which will also run into the new year, with that sign of Virgo. Let us see where we are going with this because Mercury is going to turn direct also. Let us see for New Year, see that Virgo Moon. It could bring about a lot of task-oriented stuff. A lot of work. You might find that you are using this the rest of this holiday, to get some work done. to catch up on things. It is really good for that and trying to clean things up. So that you may be able to present your investments or your work to others as well.
Then we have the New Year's Eve at 10:43 PM. The Moon is making an aspect of Saturn. So, this one says slow down and use your better judgment.
The Moon goes into trying the Sun on January 1st, New Year's Day. Happy New Year's at 3:58 AM. Which is a lovely aspect about creativity with the Moon in Virgo. the Sun in Capricorn.
Venus square Saturn. I mentioned this one. This one is a big ouch when it refers to money and relationships too. You can be cranky about the nature of your relationships and how they might express themselves to you. About what you have done and what you have not done. Or maybe you can sit down and talk about it, but Venus is in Sagittarius. So, you might be able to explore new ways of doing things in your relationship.
Mercury turns direct at 10:07 PM on Monday, January 1st. It is 22° of Sagittarius. So, if you are Sagittarius, or you have planets in Sagittarius, you might be thrilled when this one happens. We are all going to be thrilled. Trust me.
The Moon is squaring Mercury early on the 2nd. That is on a Tuesday. That has a little crankiness that it has to work through because then the Moon will square Mars. So that one's setting up the day for an argumentative tone. So, you want to be careful about how you come into the work week with others. How you may feel that you are pressured. Or if you feel like you have a need to pressure others. You do not want to do that.
Then the Moon comes into trine Pluto while it is in the sign of Virgo. That makes this a Green Light Moon sign. So that being said, That Green Light would start at the Mercury direct station at 10:07 PM January 1st. It goes on through until 6:35 PM on Tuesday.
Then the Moon enters the sign of Libra. It will be in a sign of Libra for a couple of days. This Libra Moon Sun sign is looking for peace and negotiations. There is a little bit of adjustment that needs to be made between Venus and Jupiter when they are quincunx. That is that life's messy, clean it up aspect. This could be about cleaning up a mess or cleaning up a social faux pas of some sort. That is on January 3rd, which is Wednesday.
What we have also for Wednesday night 10:30 PM there is a Quarter Moon. It is a Last Quarter Moon. So, this is when you are actively involved in the process of paying up or getting paid in some way. Now, this Quarter Moon is a big deal. It is a big deal because it is the last Moon phase in a Moon family that began two and a Quarter years ago. It leaps into the next set of Libra Moon phases, which will be a Solar Eclipse in October of 2024. So, this is a big deal because it says pay up or get paid. Well, you want to finish things up, complete things. So that you can get paid and you can start something new. You want to collect anything that you need to seed your future. And also make relationships right. It is a Libra Moon sign. So, it definitely wants you to be able to work in peace.
So, there might be pressures also around the world. where this is attached to a Solar Eclipse. It is it is linked to it.
You can learn about this in my book, Lunar Shadows. Lunar Shadows, it is a book about the lunar gestation cycle, the Moon phases and how they connect one to another to another by a 9-month interval. This interval is called the lunar gestation cycle. Which I will be presenting this at the London School of astrology on January 8th. It will be a class at that school called Ask the Expert. That will be my topic about what is in the book Lunar Shadows.
So, having us look also on the 4th, which is Thursday, the Moon finishes off in Libra. But here is a big deal. Mars will enter the sign of Capricorn. Mars loves Capricorn. Mars is a planet of action and forward direction. Capricorn is about business. Mars is considered exalted, like in the best place it could be in the zodiac is when it is in Capricorn. So, it rules. It is the boss. So, if you are trying to meet up with others and make your projects work, you want to wait until this happens. That is on January 4th, 9:57 AM.
Then we have this Green Light that will last until the Moon goes into Scorpio. That would be 7:39 AM the next day. So here we have a Green Light, pretty much all day on the 4th. So that is on Thursday.
Then Friday The 5th, we have a Scorpio Moon sign.
There is a little quirky thing. Wait a minute, I do not like that Green Light. That Green Light has a square to Pluto. That is not going to be the best thing to do. So, you better wait. Let's find another good time.
So, we will scratch that Green Light after Mars enters Capricorn at 9:57 in the morning, on January 4th.
Let's go straight to the Void of Course Moon period, which is 6:40 AM. The Moon will be void of course on January 5th, until 7:39 AM. Then the Moon enters Scorpio. That is going to be a better Moon. Better quality in regard to how things finish up. There would be a positive aspect to Pluto before it leaves the sign. It is a 60° aspect, which is called a sextile. This one's awesome. So, there is your Green Light period for the week. During this week, it will be from 7:39 AM on the 5th right through until next weekend. It will end at 3:21 PM on the 7th. So, take that Green Light to the bank if you want to do something that is positive about forwarding your goals at Scorpio. So, it says it is not meant for lightweights. You do not want to go alone when there is a Scorpio Moon. It is tough. It is one that you really have to be savvy about your subject. So that is it for the week.
You can find a copy of this on my website at Lunar-Shadows.com. It will be transcribed by Kimberly Chin. Thank you so much. We can also replay it for two weeks at the studio. 90.3 FM will have in their archives for two weeks as well. I think that is that is about it for the week. I want to thank Julie Stoller who's all always in our corner, she does the best. She gives the best help. And we want to always remember that she's there for us. And thank you, Victor. And here you go, Victor.
