[1:16] Moon report! The Last Quarter Moon in Virgo will occur on Dec. 4 (9:49 pm PST) at 12�48� Virgo and Sagittarius. The Moon�s Sabian symbol: 13 Virgo, A strong hand supplanting political hysteria.

[2:17] The Sagittarian Sun is conjunct Mars in this chart. Virgo�s ruler, Mercury, is currently in Capricorn, trine Jupiter in Taurus and sextile Saturn in Pisces.

[3:42] Remember that when two bodies are in a square aspect to each other, each of them has to have their voice heard � in this case, the Sun and Moon. The Moon in Virgo is able to formulate a practical plan for going after the things that the Sagittarius Sun really wants to do while also keeping the Sagittarius side in check a little bit, so we don�t get in over our heads.

[5:57] This is also the Last Quarter Moon in a Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC) that began at the New Moon on Sep. 6, 2021, at 14�38�Virgo. The First Quarter Moon in this LPFC was on June 7, 2022 and the Full Moon was on March 7, 2023.

[8:58] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. On Dec. 6, the Moon in Virgo trines Pluto (5:50 am PST). It�s VOC for about three hours, then enters Libra (8:35 am PST). Precision and carefully, well-thought-out plans will be rewarded.

[10:09] On Dec. 8, the Moon in Libra squares Pluto (5:05 pm PST). It�s VOC for about 2 1/2 hours, then enters Scorpio (7:35 pm PST). Will you compromise, or demand to have your own way? What we�re hoping for is an appropriate level of compromise.

[11:42] Venus enters Scorpio on Dec. 4 (10:51 am PST); it�ll be in this sign through Dec. 29. When Venus is in Scorpio, we should immerse ourselves in the things that we�re very passionate about and review our close relationships. It is also an excellent time to take care of practical financial matters, especially related to banking, mortgages, inheritance, loans, and end-of-life directives.

[14:10] On Dec. 5 (2:51 pm PST), Venus in Scorpio trines Saturn at 01�22� Scorpio-Pisces. Relationships could get serious, and good work could be rewarded.

[15:57] Neptune stations direct on Dec. 6 (5:22 am PST). It�s been retrograde since June 30, 2023. Try to keep a light schedule this week. Get plenty of rest and relaxation; go with the flow.

[17:14] Mercury trines Jupiter on Dec. 7 (8:09 pm PST) at 06�28� of Capricorn-Taurus. Do the planning and gather the information needed for a big project.

[18:35] On Dec. 9th (7:35 pm PST), Venus opposes Jupiter at 06�20� Scorpio-Taurus. Venus is on the Sabian symbol 7 Scorpio, Deep-sea divers. This aspect has important ramifications for relationships and financial matters. It�s a reminder not to let our deep attachments to others keep us from having adventures.
