The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

**** This is a solid day for you because you have a lovely relationship between your emotional responses and your ability to handle your feelings with respect to how you deal with family members and situations that might arise at home. (A nice balance between sensitivity and practical realism.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** Today you’re in a practical frame of mind, which will make it easy for you to study and learn something. This is also an excellent day to do mental work that requires attention to detail. Meanwhile discussions with neighbours, siblings and relatives will be realistic.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** You’re in a sensible frame of mind today, which will encourage a practical, realistic approach to how you handle your money. For starters, if shopping, you won’t be buying purple ostrich boas. You want to buy something that is practical and long-lasting.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn, which makes you more serious and self-disciplined. Very likely, you will feel a responsibility to provide for and protect someone else. You’ll feel loyal to your closest relationships and ready to help them if they need it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Today you might want to help someone in need. If so, you will choose to assist them in a practical way. Furthermore, you will likely be quiet about doing so or wish to stay anonymous if you have the chance to do this. You care – but it’s private.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Someone older or in a position of authority, or perhaps more experienced than you, might be in a position to help you or give you advice today. Or perhaps, you are the experienced sage dispensing advice to someone else? Either way, there will be a caring exchange.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

**** You are high viz. today, which means people notice more than usual. This is good because they will see you as reliable, responsible, conscientious and above all, practical. Therefore, someone might seek your practical advice about a problem? If so, you will give it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** This is an excellent day to study any subject because you will have the concentration, focus and hopefully, the retention that you need. Because you will be able to pay attention to detail, this is also an excellent day to book future travel plans or discuss various options to consider.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues will be fruitful today because you’re in a serious frame of mind. In fact, because you want a reliable outcome, you won’t overlook details. Likewise, some will need to cooperate in these discussions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** The easiest way to deal with today is to be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others. In other words, be conciliatory and accommodating. (No biggie.) Meanwhile, discussions with others will be serious, which is excellent for making plans, especially detailed plans.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Relationships with coworkers will inspire loyalty and dependability today. Fortunately, you’ll project a calm and steady presence, especially if there are difficulties. This means people will know they can rely on you and your good judgment – especially for practical solutions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** Discussions about the care and education of children will go well today because everyone will want practical, doable results. Furthermore, there is a nice balance of the desire to protect others blending with being mature and responsible in the air today. This is also a good day to be productive in the arts.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Krysten Ritter (1981) shares your birthday today. You’re an impulsive free spirit with a fine intuition. You are an excellent judge of character. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to let go of the people, places and things from the past that have held you back.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Some interesting news is going to come via someone in your family today and although it might actually seem pretty unbelievable you better trust them.

As things are currently configured for you it seems you will get some opportunity to draw conclusions out of what you hear but maybe you should rush into things as soon.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The current disposition is trying to make you show the beauty in your life and in your thoughts but you are quite closed at the thought of any expression.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Some extra hours might be on the tray for you today and while for some natives this might be a good occasion to speed up the saving process or their revenue income, for others it will represent an occasion to spend as much time as possible away from home.

And this seems to couple perfectly with how avoidant you are in respect to house activities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

If you want to show you are involved, then maybe you shouldn’t interrupt people and just wait to see where everything is going and then improve on that direction.

There is no competition at the moment in that respect and you shouldn’t take things as such. Instead of focusing on how to put yourself in a better light, why not give an honest helping hand.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Natives with children are going to find themselves even more involved in their upbringing and some changes might be made.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You know that they say you shouldn’t build your happiness on anyone’s sorrow. Well, you might be faced with exactly this dilemma today and although the whole situation might not be something of extraordinary importance, you will still have to take some time to figure things out.

17 December 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for December 17th, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 15.41 days old and 97.47% illuminated with a tilt of -60.186°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 376,500.34 km and the moon sign is Cancer.

The Moon phase for December 17th, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.
