Today is Tuesday, December 20, 2011. The Moon enters Scorpio at about 5:33 am EST. It adds another layer of emotional sensitivity to today’s aspects and these introspective days of the solstice. This is a week to prepare your space, both inner and outer, psychological and literal. It is time to prepare yourself to go out into the world again – though not quite yet time to make the actual move.
Two planets are changing sign today: Vesta enters Pisces at about 2:42 am EST, and Venus enters Aquarius at 1:26 pm EST. Vesta, having just come off its conjunction to Neptune in late Aquarius, is carrying that intuitive, creative energy forward. Named after the goddess of the hearth (where a home’s fire is kept burning), Vesta is preparing the way for Neptune’s homecoming to the sign it rules, tending to the core passion of Pisces and warming it up.
On a practical level, this translates to a call to define your space – especially when it comes to creativity and sex. Whether this means lighting candles or rearranging your bedroom, moving your writing desk so you can look out the window or getting clear on what experiences you want to invite into your life, think about how to align inner and outer. Then do it. Vesta in Pisces may indicate some form of sexual surrender. So at the most fundamental level, especially where sex is concerned, make sure your yes means yes and your no means no.
