Month: December 2023
Weekly Horoscope Sunday, December 3 to Saturday, December 9, 2023
All Signs
This week is the perfect time for teamwork because we will get more done by cooperating with others. Meanwhile, on Monday, Venus enters lusty, passionate Scorpio to stay until the end of the year. This will increase our interest in romance as well as feelings of longing and desire. In a timely fashion, there are several opportunities for spontaneous romance this week. (Woot!) At the end of the week, on Saturday the 9th, we can enjoy a great day to party and socialize! “Come on in! Get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini!”
Aries (March 21-April 19)
A chance to travel is what you need. And if you can’t travel now, then make travel plans because you want to get outta Dodge. For those who can’t travel at all – be a tourist in your own city. Check out your local neighbourhood for places you’ve never seen. For the rest of this month, you will feel sexy and passionate! However, you will also attract money to you from your spouse, business partner or a third party like a bank or the government. Major bonus! This is also a great week to talk to bosses, parents and VIPs to ask for a raise or to make your pitch or move your agenda forward. (Thursday is the best day for this.) Continue to look for ways to boost your income because this is possible! Ka-ching!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a passionate, intense week for you. On Monday, fair Venus moves into Scorpio, which is opposite your sign. This means not only will you enjoy passionate intimacy (who has time to record this in a diary?) — but with Venus opposite your sign, all your relationships will be friendlier, more lighthearted and happier. In a way, this is not surprising because with Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection. Get ready for a lovely week. Make note that working with others is how you can be the most productive. It’s an excellent time to study and finish manuscripts, papers, screenplays or whatever. Dress so that you feel attractive. Make sure you like what you see in the mirror.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You still need more sleep and more rest. Fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which might be challenging because when Mars is opposite your sign, it can trigger conflict with those who are closest to you. (This can even heighten tension with your enemies.) Naturally, all of this is exhausting. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are excellent. In fact, a work-related romance might begin for some of you. In addition, discussions about loans, mortgages, inheritances and anything to do with the wealth and resources of someone else – a bank, a third party or your partner – these discussions will go well. Things will be settled in your favour. (Bucks in jeans!)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a productive week because both the Sun and fiery Mars are in your House of Employment, which motivates you to work — and work smart. Many of you will delegate tasks to others to get things done. Fortunately, this week is not all work and no play. Au contraire! Venus has just entered the part of your chart that attracts romance and fun socializing! Spontaneous romance, new love and opportunities to party will dazzle you for the rest of the month! Meanwhile, discussions with partners and close friends will be productive. Thursday is the best day for important discussions with partners, close friends and members of the general public. You might inspire a group or an organization. “To the gates!”
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a fabulous week to socialize! Accept invitations to parties, social outings, sports events, fun activities with kids, vacations and any entertaining diversion that appeals. One of these diversions might be romance – rip-your-clothes-off romance. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, many will also enjoy redecorating and entertaining at home this week. Family relations will be rewarding and warm because people will express their affection for each other. (Everyone wants to be loved.) Nevertheless, this is a productive time. You’re working hard in a hands-on way because you have a busy agenda in addition to social plans. The best day to deal with coworkers, especially groups, will be Thursday. Everyone will listen to you then.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Home and family continue to be a major focus. Some tension or conflict might occur due to renovations, redecorating projects, residential moves or visiting guests. Fortunately, on Monday, fair Venus moves into your House of Communications, which makes all your dealings with others more pleasant. Plus, your everyday surroundings will become more agreeable. This is an excellent time to let others know how much you care for them. You will also notice the beauty in your everyday surroundings more than before, which makes this the perfect time for a pleasant drive in the country. Discussions about entertainment, the hospitality industry or educating children will go well, especially on Thursday.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your busy pace continues! Embrace this accelerated pace and accept the fact that you have appointments, errands plus increased reading, writing and studying to do. It is what it is. You can handle this if you prioritize what you do and channel your time. (You’re good at this.) Meanwhile, you are a person who loves beautiful things and this week (in fact, this month) you will buy pretty things for yourself and loved ones. Fortunately, with Venus now in one of your Money Houses, you can attract money to you as well. (We like!) Family discussions will be positive this week. Likewise, it’s an excellent time to tackle home repairs. In fact, the most auspicious day for important discussions and tasks at home will be Thursday.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Money issues, earnings and cash flow are on your mind. You’re working hard to earn money because let’s face it, you’re spending it. (But then, it’s that time of year, isn’t it?) The good news is that on Monday, fair Venus enters your sign to stay for the rest of the month, which is good news for you. It will make you charming, diplomatic; and help you make peace with others. You will definitely enjoy good times with friends. This is a wonderful time to go on a vacation because Venus always ranks pleasure above work. Romance can blossom this week. On Saturday, grab lovely opportunities to party. Note: the entire week is an excellent time to negotiate what you want, but your best day will be Thursday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign along with fiery Mars! Naturally, you want to be outdoors! You want fun and adventure! And above all, you want to travel! This is who you are! Fortunately, you will attract people and favourable situations to you, which means you might pull off some of these wishes and dreams. Meanwhile, secret love affairs will blossom for some. (I’ll never tell.) Another positive influence is you’re full of moneymaking ideas, which benefits discussions about finances, raises, promotions and your wealth and assets in general. In particular, Thursday is the best day to make your pitch. “Now hear this. Now hear this.”
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Another week with mixed messages from the universe. With the Sun hiding in your chart, likewise, you want to be a bit reclusive. Going out and getting involved seems to be too much effort. You want the comfort of your own privacy and keeping things simple. No decisions, please! However, completely countering this influence is the fact that Venus has just entered your House of Friendships, and very recently, Mercury has entered your own sign. This combination makes you want to socialize! You want to talk to groups and friends, especially artistic creative types. You want to teach. You want to enlighten. Ideally, you want to be quoted. Juggle these two influences as best you can
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a social week! You want to see people and you want to be seen. In particular, you will enjoy spending time with groups and organizations, which is an excellent choice because this week, everyone will be the most productive by cooperating with others. Teamwork is the motto. Some of you will be involved in group competitions and physical sports. However, on Monday this week, fair Venus moves to the top of your chart, which creates favourable circumstances for your ability to relate to bosses, parents, teachers and the police. Oh yes, VIPs will be impressed! (In fact, so impressed that you might begin a romance with a boss.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You look fabulous to others because the Sun is still at the top of your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight. Fiery Mars is also high in your chart, arousing your ambition, making you determined to go after what you want. On Monday, Venus moves into your Ninth House, which will make you want to travel for pleasure, especially to sunny climes with exotic surroundings. This is the perfect month for a vacation! Whether you slip away or not, you’ll be attracted to people who are unusual. In fact, a romance with someone different might blossom. Meanwhile, discussions with friends and groups will be productive, especially on Thursday. Enjoy your week.
Taking a Much Needed Mental Floss Day
This past week has been a super stressful one what with computers, printer, and scanner giving my all kinds of problems. Along with someone at the headquarters office for Big Dwag’s job, making a mess out of certain paperwork that has to be signed again and resubmitted. I’m talking over 200 papers that were done correctly but some person or persons hit a wrong key on their keyboard and erased his signature from we’re guessing at this point all 361 submitted papers are coming back to be resigned. It is very frustrating and time-consuming. Coming on top of monthly posts, I’ve spent too much time on the computer trying to get everything done for both our jobs.
So, today, I’m taking a much needed mental floss day and going to our towns Kris Krinkle market with some gal pals. I’ll be back tomorrow a lot more clear-headed and a lot less stressed, I hope.
Now to just get my laptop to talk to the printer and scanner and life’s stressors will go almost completely away. I will have help with that sometime later today.
A Laugh With/At Me Today
So, for us today was supposed be sleep in than get stuff done around the house and laundry. Well, the sleeping in worked 😄 but I have been stuck fighting with my desk top computer just to find out it isn’t able to convert from Windows 10 to 11. Something about my system being incompatible 🤷♀️. Likely I a small laptop with Windows 11 👍. I am having to use it after dusting it off. The reasons for the drastic change in how I work is do to our scanner wouldn’t work to scan thing as a PDF and our printer kept arguing with the desk top 😂. The scanner and laptop like each other. As for the printer and laptop are still sizing each other up because it’ll print than go into its, what I call it, stubborn mode that doesn’t want to print. Hopefully 🤞🤞 they will work out their differences and I can get some work down for Big Dawgs job. I am starting on the tomorrow posts now as well as getting up the monthly post for Astronomy Events and Retrograde planets for this month.
Wish me calmness so I don’t pull or my hair out or go on a mini rampage throwing all my electronic devices out of the front door.

About December’s Cold Full Moon
December full moon is commonly known in the Northern Hemisphere as the Full Long Nights Moon. It takes its name from the winter solstice, which has the longest night in the year. The Full Long Nights Moon cuts a soaring trajectory through the wintery skies, in direct opposition to the low-hanging sun. According to Pagan tradition, on years that the Full Moon falls before the winter solstice, it is referred to as the Mourning Moon. For our early Pagan ancestors this was a time of cleansing by stopping bad habits to make one stronger to service the cold winter ahead. The Algonquins called this full moon the Cold Moon, in reference to the cold light it casts upon long winter nights. Strangely enough, in certain other cultures, December’s full moon can actually be associated with warmth.
To the Deborean Clan, the Cold Moon is associated with staying in your cosy home beside a crackling fireplace, surrounded not just by physical warmth, but also the warmth of family and friends. Similarly, the Wishram tribe named December’s full moon the Winter Houses Moon. Given that it coincides with holidays like Yule, Pagans consider this the perfect time to open up your home and provide warmth to those you love, as well as to those who are most vulnerable to the cold of winter.
For those who are more inclined towards solitude, the Full Long Nights Moon provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy your cosy home in peace and quiet. Consider taking lots of restful naps under warm, fluffy comforters, or allowing yourself to lounge in bed in the mornings instead of rising immediately to work. Appropriately, the Native American Zuni tribe called December’s full moon the “Moon Where the Sun Comes Home to Rest”. This full moon is a great time for you to take a long overdue break and recharge, so that you may shine all the brighter when it comes time for you to rise again.
This period of slow restfulness is also very conducive to introspection. When you look inwards and take stock of your life during this time, try to focus on loose ends and the little things that you’ve left hanging throughout the year. As the last full moon that rises before the year draws to a close, the Full Long Nights Moon is a time of endings. Take advantage of this full moon’s energy and bring an end to tasks you’ve been meaning to do, clearing your mind so you can move forward with a clean slate.
As much as the Full Long Nights Moon may be about endings, it is also about beginnings and rebirth. The Sioux Indians’ name for December’s full moon is the “Moon When Deer Shed Their Horns”, thus beginning the process of growing new ones. The Celts, on the other hand, call it the Elder Moon. Elder is fragile and easily damaged, but it’s also full of vitality and recovers very quickly. As the Elder Moon shines upon you, allow yourself to rest and heal from everything that has hurt you over the year, and focus instead on new beginnings and promising areas of growth. This is an excellent time to start planning your New Year’s resolutions and set exciting new goals for the upcoming year.

December 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide
Please read this first:
1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.
- a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
- b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
- a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
- b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.
