  • The Moon is in Aquarius.
  • There is no void Moon period today.
  • The Moon is waxing and in its Waxing Crescent phase.
  • The New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred on the 4th in the sign of Sagittarius, and the First Quarter Moon will happen on December 10th.
First Quarter Moon

The First Quarter Moon phase occurs when the Moon is 90 degrees after the Sun.

This is a time of action. We become aware of differences, and this can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of great energy, motivation, and growth. We may be feeling especially ambitious and competitive. Things are beginning to take off or to turn a corner. This is a time when we want to get something going, but we may not know the next step or the exact direction we want it/us to take. Most suitable activities now include taking action, pushing forward, making offers, researching more options, meeting new people, and gathering new/additional supplies you may need to further a project. Watch for overconfidence or overshooting the mark. Use the stress generated now to make changes.



The Moon Is Waxing  A waxing Moon occurs from after the New Moon until the Full Moon, when the Moon is increasing in light. When the Moon is waxing, new endeavors are favored, with some exceptions. This is the time for starting projects that we want to last.



The Moon Is Not In Void

Usually when the Moon is "void" or "void of course," it's a time for reflection rather than taking new action. Initiatives begun now may not amount to much or they can be slow/hard going. Please note that there are different ways to calculate the void period.




  • Uranus Rx and Chiron Rx.
  • Venus is not yet retrograde, but is in its pre-retrograde shadow until December 19th, when it will turn retrograde.


Uranus Rx  Uranus is retrograde approximately 40% of the time! Uranus is retrograde from August 19th, 2021, to January 18th, 2022. During the retrograde Uranus cycle, we're less overt with our crusades, rebellions, or freedom-seeking. We might get in touch with has prevented us from living more spontaneously and authentically.


Chiron Rx  In 2021, Chiron is retrograde from July 15 to December 19.

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

DECEMBER 8

The Mars-Jupiter square perfects early today, inflating our desires and expectations, after which it’s easier to moderate our behavior. The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, harmonizing with the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius. We’re able to express and embrace our independence while including others. We’re more intellectual today, and we strive toward greater honesty and a broader viewpoint. Our idealism runs high today, and we’re bringing more imagination to our mental pursuits. With our hearts and heads cooperating, we can make wonderful connections. A Sun-Uranus biquintile is on the radar, exact early tomorrow, and we embrace our uniqueness, reinforced further by the Aquarius Moon.

DECEMBER 9

The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 9:54 AM EST and forms a square to Mars this morning. This transit can point to temperamentality, impatience, and distraction. However, as the day advances, we find ourselves a lot more even-tempered. The Moon moves into Pisces, and emotional or mental refreshment helps us gain perspective. With a Mars-Saturn quintile later today, we’re particularly skilled at sorting, ordering, and planning. There can be a willingness to make sacrifices if it seems the best way to make improvements and, with a game plan, we’re ready to exercise patience. Our timing is good with business and personal pursuits as we’re inclined to strategize and prepare well.

The void Moon occurs from 5:00 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Pisces at 9:54 AM EST.

DECEMBER 10

A Mercury-Saturn semi-square this morning points to potential delays or miscommunications. We may need to manage some inconveniences in our communications and transit. This evening, a First Quarter Moon occurs as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a square with the Moon in Pisces at 8:36 PM EST. There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. It can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of high energy, motivation, and growth. The Moon spends the day in Pisces, encouraging the need to connect with our inner world.

DECEMBER 11

The void Moon occurs from 2:40 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:46 PM EST.

When the Moon is in Aquarius

MoonAquarius Attraction to all that is new and unusual, and an instinctive need for improvement, characterize the Moon in Aquarius. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal, under this influence. This is a time that promotes social gatherings, dealing with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, and progressive changes. We are open to new methods of doing things and we have our eye on the future. It can be hard to stick to schedules now, as personal freedom is most important to us.

The Moon in Aquarius generally favors the following activities: Unusual or radical undertakings, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, joining a group.

When the Moon is in Pisces

MoonPisces We may not want to face reality while the Moon is in dreamy, impressionable Pisces. It can be a wistful, sensitive, intuitive, and compassionate time. We are especially imaginative, and our intuition reigns under this influence. Boundaries and walls come down, as Pisces energy merges and blends. It's a time when details are overlooked and feelings defy description.

The Moon in Pisces generally favors the following activities: Imaginative undertakings, mystical or spiritual pursuits, inner development, music and drama, going on a retreat, activities involving water.

When the Moon is in Aries

MoonAries We're motivated by a strong desire to start fresh. A gut instinct to start something new is with us now, as well as the gumption to do so. Our pioneering impulses are strong, and we feel energetic, spontaneous, and enthusiastic. We may also be tactless and impulsive now. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.

The Moon in Aries generally favors the following activities: Quick actions that yield immediate results. Undertakings that involve the self and the personality. (Staying power may be lacking). Self-assertion, taking on challenges, beginning short-term projects.






Void-of-course Moon on Sunday, December 5th, from 12:09 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 6:32 AM EST.

VOC Moon on Monday, December 6th, from 11:43 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Aquarius the next day, Tuesday, December 7th, at 6:49 AM EST.

VOC Moon on Thursday, December 9th, from 5:00 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Pisces at 9:54 AM EST.

VOC Moon on Saturday, December 11th, from 2:40 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:46 PM EST.

Void of Course Moon Dates: Table for December 2021

Timing with the Moon – Better Periods this Week for Electing New Initiatives

It’s important to note that there are more factors to consider in addition to the windows listed below. The following windows are starting points. For example, you generally don’t want to elect a new venture when a very challenging aspect is applying, and it’s preferable to elect a time when a particularly positive aspect hasn’t yet perfected (is applying rather than separating).

The Void of Course Moon is the period of time after the Moon has made its last aspect in one sign until the Moon enters a new sign. During the Void of Course Moon periods, it is generally wise to stick to routine rather than to begin new projects.

The last aspect the Moon makes before changing signs is indicated here and is indicative of the “outcome” of the matter (whether that is a new project begun before the void period or the answer to a question in Horary Astrology).

Void of Course in Horary Astrology: If you were asking a question and making a chart to determine the answer, as you do in Horary astrology, it is said that since the Moon is not looking forward to any more aspects in this sign, you would have to say that the answer is not forthcoming; any questions asked at this time would not come to pass.

The Moon being Void is one of the Strictures against Judgment in Horary Astrology. The following tables incorporate the modern planets, but some astrologers do not count Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in void Moon calculations.









MarsSextilePluto Mars sextile Pluto. We are able to successfully focus on our goals, to take decisive action, and to go after what we want without stepping on others’ toes under this influence.

MercurySquareNeptune Mercury square Neptune. We find it hard to follow facts, directions, and instructions. Difficulties concentrating on hard, cold facts are likely; and we may question facts altogether or avoid being pinned down for answers. This is a bad time for signing on the dotted line. Perceptions are confused, unrealistic, or too idealistic to carry weight in the real world. Conversations may be vague.

MarsSquareJupiter Mars square Jupiter. Although we may have much enthusiasm for life and for new projects, over-confidence and over-estimation of what we can do is likely. We can be impatient if results of our efforts don’t materialize right away, and we can also be too focused on what we think should be and lose sight of what is possible. We are ready and willing to fight for our beliefs. We may be excitable and competitive. Jumping ahead without considering the consequences is the inclination, but can be costly. This energy is also associated with lawsuits or struggles involving differences in personal philosophies and principles. A feeling of urgency may make us come on stronger than we intend. The inclination towards taking risks is strong, and patience is short.

MercurySemi-squareSaturn Mercury semi-square Saturn. Red tape, re-doing tasks we thought we had finished, problems getting from point A to point B, delays in communication, negative thinking, hyper-sensitivity and criticism–these are all potentials now. The energy is best used for focusing on fixing errors rather than harping on how irritating they are!

MercurySesquiquadrateUranus Mercury sesquiquadrate Uranus. We can have flashes of insight, but tend to be scatterbrained. Our ideas and communications may not be well-received because they don’t seem to others to carry weight. Our minds are not peaceful or harmonious under this influence, and irritable tempers, sarcastic speech, and dogmatism are negative expressions of this energy. However, fresh and creative ideas may come to us now.

VenusConjunctionPluto Venus conjunct Pluto. This is an “all or nothing” energy. We have the power of attraction at our disposal. Things shouldn’t be forced, even though the desire to sway, coerce, and manipulate others may be present. Passions are strong and intense. There is a tendency to want–and to demand–a lot from a partnership or friendship. This is a time when we can be focused and confident, especially when it comes to handling business and finances, as well as with regards to love and partnership.

MercurySextileJupiter Mercury sextile Jupiter. Positive thinking, new insights, and cooperation are themes now. This influence favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, submitting applications and forms, test taking, and making diagnoses and observations. This is a time when we more readily exercise good judgment, take a more philosophical approach to thinking, and are more open to learning.

THE BEST ASTROLOGICAL DAYS THIS MONTH AND
THE WORST ASTROLOGICAL DAYS THIS MONTH
FOR SIXTEEN IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES FOR
December, 2021

The dates below are the best (and worst) astrological days in December 2021 for the 17 important activities described (to read about the criteria we use in selecting these dates click here).

We are sorry to have to inform you that December is another one of those weak months when there are no really good astrological days. Once again, the days we list as “best” are not really “best” but are actually “barely good enough” – but none are good enough for any crucial natalizations.

No matter what, please make certain you are not having bad transits when you make crucial natalizations.

Our MagicalOracle Mobile Web App is the easiest way to know what kind of transits you have on any day and you can check it anywhere in the world at any time by using your iPhone or Android.

As for the best and worst days this month for money this month, they are:

Best: December 1, 10, 29, 30
Worst: December 3, 4, 5, 19, 20, 21

And the best and worst days this month for love and sex are:

Best: December 1, 10, 11
Worst: December 4, 5, 6, 18, 19

Please also always remember that in addition to selecting good astrological days for crucial natalizations, you need to have good transits at the same time in order to create a natalization that will work very well for you.

If you are a member of the Magi Society, you may log onto our Members Only Website and view in advance an EXTRA MONTH of the Magi Society Love & Money Calendar. This allows our members to use the stars to plan ahead by an extra month. Members of the Magi Society may click here to begin the process of logging onto the new Members Only Website.
[Editor's Note: These days were chosen specifically as the best and worst days for the activities specified and you should not assume that a good day for one activity is a good day for anything and everything else. For example, a good day to get married is not a good day to get divorced.

Although the good and bad dates we provide you are applicable for everyone, just how good or bad each day is will vary depending on your individual transits. For example, if you are having several Cinderella Transits on one of our good days, then the day can be fabulous for you. Or if you are having Cinderella Transits on one of our bad days, then the day will not be as bad for you as it will be for most people because your transits are better than most.]

Scholz vows 'new beginning' for Germany as Merkel exits

Olaf Scholz took his oath of office in front of lawmakers in the Bundestag on Wednesday

Berlin (AFP) - Olaf Scholz became Germany’s new chancellor on Wednesday after 16 years with Angela Merkel at the helm, pledging his centre-left-led coalition would offer a “new beginning” for Europe’s top economy.

Scholz was officially named the country’s ninth post-war leader by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who urged him to “ensure that the pandemic does not keep us firmly in its grip for another year” as a fourth wave of the coronavirus outbreak rages.

The former finance minister, who won 395 of the 707 votes cast in the Bundestag lower house, has vowed broad “continuity” with the popular Merkel while making Germany greener and fairer.

Asked by parliament speaker Baerbel Bas whether he accepted the election, a beaming Scholz removed his black corona mask to say “yes” and then received bouquets of flowers from all parliamentary groups except the far-right AfD.

Scholz led his Social Democrats to victory in the September 26 election – an outcome considered unthinkable at the start of the year given the party’s then festering divisions and anaemic support.

Olaf Scholz narrowly beat Angela Merkel's conservatives in a September election

The 63-year-old, who turned emulating Merkel in style and substance into a winning strategy, has now cobbled together Germany’s first national “traffic light” coalition with the ecologist Greens and the liberal Free Democrats, nicknamed after the parties’ colours.

Their four-year pact sealed late last month is called “Dare for More Progress”, a hat tip to Social Democratic chancellor Willy Brandt’s historic 1969 pledge to “Dare for More Democracy”.

“We have a chance for a new beginning for Germany,” Scholz told his party at the weekend as it gave its blessing to the coalition agreement with 99-percent support.

The alliance aims to slash carbon emissions, overhaul decrepit digital infrastructure, modernise citizenship laws, lift the minimum wage and have Germany join a handful of countries worldwide in legalising marijuana.

Timeline of German chancellors since 1949

French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Scholz, pledging “we will write the next chapter together” while EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said she looked forward to cooperation for a “strong Europe”.

Scholz’s office announced his first official visit would take him to Paris and Brussels Friday for talks with Macron, von der Leyen and NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg.

Vladimir Putin said Russia was offering “constructive ties” with the new government, while China’s Xi Jinping said Beijing was willing to work with Scholz to “promote bilateral ties to a new level”.

- Gender balanced -

The new foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, has pledged a tougher line with authoritarian states such as Russia and China after the business-driven pragmatism of the Merkel years.

Greens co-leader Baerbock is one of eight women in Germany’s first gender-balanced cabinet.

“That corresponds to the society we live in – half of the power belongs to women,” Scholz, who describes himself as a “feminist”, said this week.

The cabinet under (from top, L) Olaf Scholz, Free Democrat Christian Lindner and Greens Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck will feature equal numbers of men and women

Scholz and his team promise stability just as France braces for a bitterly fought presidential election next year and Europe grapples with the enduring aftershocks of Brexit.

However, a vicious fourth Covid wave has already put the incoming coalition to the test.

“We have to make a fresh start while facing down the corona pandemic – those are the circumstances the new government is up against,” Scholz told reporters Tuesday.

More than 103,000 people have died with coronavirus in Germany while new infections have surged since the weather turned cold, filling intensive care units to breaking point.

Scholz has thrown his weight behind making jabs mandatory to get the pandemic under control, as Austria has done, as experts say the worst is still to come for the country’s struggling clinics.

- ‘Lessons of history’ -

Scholz (C) will lead an unprecedented three-way coalition with the Greens under co-leader Robert Habeck (L) and Free Democrats led by Christian Lindner (R)

Merkel, 67, Germany’s first woman chancellor, is retiring from politics after four consecutive terms, the first post-war leader to step aside of her own accord.

Macron tweeted his gratitude to the outgoing leader.

“Thank you, dear Angela, for never forgetting the lessons of history, for having done so much for us, with us, to move Europe forward,” he said.

She leaves big shoes to fill, with large majorities of Germans approving of her leadership, even if her own party, the conservative Christian Democrats, often bridled against her moderate course.

Despite being from a rival party, Scholz tapped into that well of popular support in his bid to succeed Merkel while pledging to tackle the widening gap between rich and poor under her.

Meanwhile, Greens supporters are banking on billions flowing toward climate protection and renewable energy, even as the government pledges to return to a no-new-debt rule by 2023.

Nestle shares flirt with record on 8.9 bn euro L'Oreal sale

The decades-old pact between Nestle and L'Oreal may be slowly winding down

Zurich (AFP) - Nestle shares neared a record high in Zurich on Wednesday after the Swiss food giant said it would raise about 8.9 billion euros ($10.2 billion) by selling part of its stake in L’Oreal.

Shares in the owner of Nespresso coffee pods and Maggi broths rose as much as 1.97 percent to what would be an all-time closing high of 124.34 Swiss francs in morning trade following the announcement, which came after markets closed on Tuesday.

Nestle said it would reduce its stake in the French cosmetics giant to 20.1 percent from 23.3 percent, and increase share buybacks with the proceeds.

While the move was not “a major surprise” and was “fully aligned with strategic comments made by the company”, it was “a positive signal”, said Baader Helvea analyst Andreas von Arx.

The current buyback programme, during which Nestle has already bought back 12.7 billion Swiss francs (11.5 billion euros) of its shares, will be replaced by a new programme in which it plans to purchase 20 billion francs of shares by 2024, 10 billion in 2022 alone.

Nestle bought a stake in L’Oreal in 1974 at the request of the Bettencourt family, who feared a possible nationalisation if the left came to power in France.

The shareholder agreement that bound them since then – and which was also an impediment to any hostile takeover – had been regularly renewed.

Liliane Bettencourt's father founded L'Oreal and the family sold a stake to Nestle to fend off takeovers and nationalisation

But in 2018, six months after the death of Liliane Bettencourt and as activist fund Third Point was pressing Nestle to sell its stake and reinvest it in projects to fuel growth, the two groups agreed not to renew their pact.

Since 1974, this stake has generated an annualised return of 11 percent for Nestle, excluding dividends, said Jean-Philippe Bertschy, an analyst at Vontobel.

Still, “the proposed transaction is smart,” he wrote in a market commentary, pointing to opportunities it opens up for Nestle in terms of takeovers and boosting returns for its shareholders.

Martin Deboo, an analyst at Jefferies, described the move as a “good business for both” companies, but questioned whether it signalled “the start of an amicable divorce”, which would see Nestle gradually divest from L’Oreal over the next few years.

The shares hit an intraday high of 124.83 francs on November 12.
