We've stepped through the Full Moon Solstice gateway into the winter holidays, and the Moon shines her light on activities close to home, focused on family traditions.

There is a five-hour void-of-course time for the Moon tonight, as we dream midwinter dreams. Then the Moon enters Leo Thursday morning, eager for the creative play and childlike wonder of this time of glittering lights, music and theater.
On Friday, Christmas Eve, the Leo Moon sextiles Saturn in Libra ... time to put the last touches on holiday preparations for weekend gathering!
The Moon's other aspects Friday point to a common holiday pitfall: A challenge in square from the emotional Moon in dramatic Leo, to relational Venus in suspicious Scorpio reminds us to be wary of giving intense feelings free expression as family groups gather.
Instead, go with the energy of the Moon trining Mercury in Sagittarius, creative play and generous communication, reflecting on traditions of the past. The Leo Moon opposes Neptune and Chiron overnight on Christmas Eve, perhaps bringing dreams that show us how to use our creative gifts to benefit our communities.
After a six-hour void-of-course time, the Moon steps into hard working Virgo, ready to offer her services to make Christmas day one of enjoyment and healing. The Moon trines both the Sun and Pluto, flowing practical Earth energy into the work needed to accomplish our goals. On this day of relaxation for many, these aspects draw our attention to the needs of others, traditionally also part of this holiday of light.
Whatever your tradition or practices, please accept my wishes for a wonderful, heart-filled holiday at this festive time of year. My first post on this blog was May 4, 2010, and I've logged over 200 essays on the Moon and her transits. We've been on an amazing journey this year, and I thank each of you for the gift of your presence. May you have a wonderful journey in the year to come!
