Cosmic Weather:

“Exploring consciousness means expanding our vision, but it also means honoring the ground beneath our feet. The vast and the ordinary are not opposites. They are partners.” – Donna Goddard

On this last Monday of 2025, Waxing Luna shifts from trailblazing Aries to anchoring Taurus (6:57 am) as our focus becomes more practical/security-minded, with the sign of the bull governing, among other things, money and possessions. The Moon will remain in Taurus until late in the day on New Year’s Eve.

The Taurus energy is also a nice match for the present heavenly lineup in tradition-minded Capricorn, which includes the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Vesta; Juno – representing our attitude towards relationships – also enters the dutiful sign of the goat, this morning (9:34 am).

Additionally, motivating Mars is in easy aspect to the Lunar Nodes today suggesting an opportunity to more effortlessly align with our desires and purpose.

The fiery red planet is also viewed to be exalted in Capricorn, in part, because its perceived assertiveness is thought to combine well with Capricorn’s reputation for discipline.

Meanwhile, Luna also forms a square to purging Pluto in Aquarius (11:24 am), perhaps underscoring the notion that sometimes, in order for us to have more, we have to let go!

Too, this aspect should serve as a boon for those of us who are now fully encapsulated in assorted year-end decluttering projects. 🙂

Psychology Today recently ran an article that stated decluttering and organizing our space can actually help to lower the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in our bodies by promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

In the news: The precious metal silver topped $80 for the first time ever, in overnight trading, before reversing course and falling more than 3% today. Silver is up more than 155% year to date, after starting 2025 just above $20 per ounce (CNBC). Some regard silver as a good hedge against inflation, although its price performance, over the years, has been inconsistent here. About half of all silver is used in industrial production.

In astrology, silver is ruled by Cancer and, of course, expansive, abundant Jupiter has been hanging out in that sign since early June of this year. Of course, while Jupiter’s placement in Cancer doesn’t necessarily translate to causation, it’s kind of fun to watch to see how it all plays out.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
