This is the calm after the storm, Sagittarius. You have been through the wringer lately and if the trials that you have been through have taught you something regarding your deeper process then it might all have been worth it. At this point you are reconsidering just how to take that progression of evolutionary development forward to the next level. A steady, changing and somewhat challenging focus on how you do relationships with significant others in your life, growing as the month unfolds, is definitely one factor. You have an increased feeling of responsibility to your spiritual needs as you go through the ordinary business of day-to-day involvements. It helps to remember that the world is only as real as you make it, and responds dramatically to a shift of your attitude.
As the month begins, you are riding the wave of the powerful Full Moon eclipse in your opposite sign from the last week of November. This was a kind moment that nevertheless had plenty of zing to it, as it was the very ground of your being, and your relationships, that was being tested and strengthened.
There are intimations of the beyond contained in two important factors from that time frame, that are also present in this month's ongoing configurations; one being the presence of Neptune in your sector of home and family concerns, which are thus in a somewhat amorphous condition right now, and the other the highlighting of Saturn in your sector of dream imagination and inner depths. This sector is related to the sign of Pisces and the rulership of Neptune, a paradoxical placement of Saturn in your solar chart since the limitation and practicality of the Lord of Time is severely vexed by the nebulous otherworldly Neptunian archetype.
Your current situation therefore comprises several confusing and antithetical elements, on the one hand, practicality and on the other, limitless expanse and expansive vision. These factors ultimately affect your sense of security and also the important relationships in your life, so that you have to be strong in yourself to weather the tides; and this could actually represent some of the value for you as well.
With the Sun in your sign, your focus this month is on yourself, but you can also detect the universal process operating within you so that you are a holographic indicator for the planet as a whole, a drop in the stream of life and yet, as the poet says, containing multitudes.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, December 6th, you might find there is somewhat of a strain between public life and private life for you. This is in any case a time when you are re-evaluating everything that has come before this point in the lunar cycle, and you are in part also influenced by the presence of a recently retrograding Mercury in your twelfth solar sector of unconscious process, so that you are meditating on your inside spaces at the same time as you are existing more on the surface, taking a ride on the cosmic currents pointing you the way to a fuller exploration of your inner depths.
The New Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, December 13th in your sign, gives you tons of energy to be moving forward. Since your life direction involves both inner and outer priorities right now, you are pulled in at least two different directions all at once. You are finding new varieties of self-expression, rather suddenly at times, and also moving forward in your more ordinary presence on the public stage such as career and professional life, as well as exploring the dark spaces within you.
With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, December 19th, you could run into a few snags as the momentary tension between Sun and Moon places home and family concerns squarely in your sights as well. Relationships of all kinds continue to be a huge factor for you, as you explore your own interior spaces with the aid of helpful partners. The Winter Solstice just two days later, on the 21st, brings a further sense of limitation into the picture, and also one of the ongoing powerful transformation of all your values.
The Full Moon of Friday, December 28th, represents another intense time for you, when the forces of your personal evolution push the envelope of change. It might be that inner voices call to you more strongly than outer ones at this time, and also that dysfunctional patterns stemming from old wounding make their presence known in such a way that they can no longer be ignored. There is definitely food for thought, and for healing, heading into the New Year, presaging both a new set of challenges and ultimately of solutions.
