Lorna Bevan – As December begins with all its pressure to be extravert and sociable even if you don’t feel it, take some time for yourself. There are important choices to consider, as Neptune and Jupiter – gas giant archetypes of imagination and dreaming large – turn direct, Mercury slows to turns retrograde and the Capricorn Solstice marks the midnight hour of the year.
This week, as Venus enters Scorpio on December 4th – reigniting unresolved issues from her 40 days retrograde in Leo last summer – the end of 2023 feels like the end of so many relationships; the end of many family arrangements. Yet endings bring beginnings and 2024 holds the possibility of something different.
In these dark, cold days before the festivities, as Neptune in Pisces turns direct on December 6, extend compassion to yourself and outwards to encompass others.
Reject the collective consumer frenzy and slow right down to rest, restore and start saying NO. Maybe just do one big thing a day. Or no more than two social events in a week. Whatever works for you.
Assume that your needs are reasonable and that your feelings are signals of something important.
Undo, unhook, untie and unravel yourself from whatever belongs to the old. Frame it as a brief moment of rest and re-set to understand where you have been, where you are now and where you are going……
Look for the sparks of light in the darkness.

Chandra Symbol Venus Scorpio 1: a tunnel through a mountain
“When darkness comes, you need more darkness if you’re ever going to find the light.
As the struggle of Earth existence descends upon you, you must find a way to harness the power of that struggle to turn death into rebirth. But it is such a pressurized and relentless a path to walk.
Everything you meet reflects the same destiny-dilemma. For you are being pulled through the collective nightmare by an immense evolutionary force, and that means feeling everything, experiencing all of it, and letting everything go.
Those pulled in to such a radical track develop core perseverance and learn to be light while super heavy, and to stay loose while bearing down in tight passages. Eventually, glorious things happen and you can emerge into a whole other reality, knowing how purposeful every step has been, that all of it was necessary.“ Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
