Astrology of the Day by Solarisastro - Tuesday 26th December 2017

The Moon begins this day in the final degree of Pisces, crosses over into Aries, and a brand new cycle begins. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a sign of new beginnings and it gives us a call to action.

The Moon begins this day in the final degree of Pisces, crosses over into Aries, and a brand new cycle begins. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a sign of new beginnings and it gives us a call to action. The past lunar cycle included a very difficult Mercury retrograde, one of the most disruptive I can remember in a long time, and so this is a perfect moment to emotionally clear the decks, to brush off any cobwebs and to get to get cracking. In the UK where I live, the day after Christmas is traditionally a day of sport, and the Moon in Aries works perfectly for an active and competitive day ahead. There is a will to win, a sense that we will want to take on new challenges, so why not go out and do any activity that makes your heart beat bit faster? 

The Moon is in Pisces all day this Christmas Day bringing a peaceful, imaginative yet slightly chaotic vibe that we can tap into. The Moon in Pisces is a pacifist and doesn't wish to enter into conflict, it is selfless and sensitive, tender and romantic, bit it can lead us to suffer too. We will want to be surrounded by music, films, and anything connected to fantasy and fiction. Pisces is rather vague and direction-less, and we will be more likely to thrive in an environment where there is little structure. Just don't make too many plans today, just go with the flow and you'll cope better. 

The Moon in in sensitive, dreamy Pisces this Christmas Eve. Today we are idealistic and incredibly sensitive, maybe a bit confused at times but also totally non-judgemental. We will react to those who are suffering with kindness and a selfless and sacrificial manner. This is the true meaning of giving at a very giving time of the year, and we will be drawn to show love to anyone around us. 

The Moon remains in Aquarius for most of today, and the quest to update our lives goes on. Saturn moving into a new sign has given us new impetus and the Moon in Aquarius has impelled many of us to go in a new direction. There is a feeling of revolution in the air, a turning of the page, a need to set things up for the new year just around the corner. There is a desire to connect with people, not just in the literal sense but to understand them and what they require, and you will strive to fulfil this obligation. 

The Moon is still in the sign of Aquarius today and we are emotionally quite cool. The Moon in this sign can stand back from moments of stress and upset and see the situation in a rather calculated and detached manner. Today therefore we are not prone to moments of emotional outburst and we won't react because we feel that we need to. Yes, we do have kindness and consideration here, indeed the Moon in this sign is incredibly caring but we will prefer to help out at arm's length. We are also less sentimental about tradition now as this is a sign of constant progress, thus we'll be motivated to do our own thing and follow our own path, rather than adhere to what we are expected to do.
