December 20, 2022 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the December 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re in a good mood because you sense, and rightly so, that this will be a positive week for you. Things will get better and better as the week wears on. Meanwhile, take a practical look at issues with shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. Can something benefit you?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Every month, for 2 1/2 days, the Moon sits opposite your sign. When this occurs, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. It’s just what it is. Therefore, go along to get along today. Be cooperative. Listen to what people want.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Start this day slowly and in a positive manner. You’re willing to work; in fact, some of what you do today might have to be on behalf of someone else. You might have to perform a service for someone. This is also a good day to be aware of your health and the demands of a pet.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a playful day! It’s Monday; nevertheless, take a long lunch. Enjoy the company of friends and children. Sports events and social outings will appeal, along with opportunities to get in touch with your creative talents. Let the games begin!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Issues related to your work (or any job you undertake) will go well today, in part, because others will be protective and supportive to your aims. Nevertheless, today you will be happy to work from home or even hide at home because you have a strong need to cocoon and be private.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you have a strong desire to communicate with others, especially children. It’s a lovely day to socialize and explore sports events, fun outings and good times with friends. A discussion with a sibling or relative could be significant. Issues about shared property will likely favour you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you’re thinking about your wealth, your bank account and your possessions. In fact, you might identify strongly with something you own, which is why you want to take care of it, and why you don’t want to lend it to anyone. (“My precious!”)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign. This happens for 2 1/2 days every month and when it occurs, it gives you an advantage over the other signs. Why not test this and ask the universe for a favour? Admittedly, when the Moon is in your sign, you also become more emotional. Oh well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today and tomorrow are the last two days when the Sun will be in your sign. It will not return again until next year in late November. Since this is an empowering advantage that allows you to re-energize yourself – make the most of this! You have a 48-hour countdown.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A conversation with a friend might be significant today. (Very likely, a female.) Nevertheless, this conversation might endear you to this person. You might feel protective or supportive to them. It might also cause you to examine your goals in life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In a curious way, for some reason, today some people know personal details about your private life. (It’s just what’s happening.) However, you should be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Ya think?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

As this week begins, you have a strong urge to get out of town or do something different. Your sense of adventure is heightened. You want to see new places, meet new faces and hear new ideas! Do something exciting!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Lawyer, journalist, human rights activist Ronan Farrow (1987) shares your birthday today. You are confident and enthusiastic about life. Many of you love to travel and are fascinated by education, journalism, publishing and the law. People trust you. This year is the beginning of a nine-year cycle for you. Get ready to open any door. Have the courage to explore new paths.
