Jupiter Enters Aries, The Winter Solstice and Mercury Retrograde

“Keep a flowering branch in your heart and the singing bird will come.” Proverb

“My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.” Robert Frost

Jupiter leaves the sign of Pisces and enters the fiery sign of Aries on December 20- the day before the Winter Solstice. Jupiter in this sign increases personal courage and brings alive  a sense of adventure. It is a good time for renewing inspiration, vitality and hope. Jupiter will be in Aries until May.

The Winter Solstice, when the Sun enters Capricorn is December 21. This earthy, grounded sign helps us manifest our goals and dreams through responsibility, pragmatism and commitment.

Mercury will station retrograde on December 29 at 24 Capricorn. The retrograde period lasts through  January 18 when Mercury will station direct at 8 degrees of Capricorn.

It’s wise as always during the retrograde period to anticipate possible delays and miscommunications. Best to make sure all important info is backed up.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A nature spirit dancing in the mist of a waterfall.”

Sabian symbol from Lynda Hill
