Transit Update on December - Promising Closure of the Year 2023

We have reached the last month of the year 2023…. Climax time, and with December many things are ending…

We shall end the retrogrades of the planets, by the end of the month …

And with the new year, nearly all planets will be direct, only Uranus will be left which will be direct by the end of Jan ’24.

So, the energy of the month is slow, steady but progressive….

We have, Venus in Libra, for the entire month till 26th December, when Venus will enter Scorpio.

Venus in Libra is the best position for Venus, and now Ketu is not in Libra…

Expect, a comfortable life… balance and harmony in relations, basically, our social life gets better…

Jupiter aspects this Venus.

Best time to mend the relations that were impacted because of Ketu in Libra for the past couple of years…

Also expect good health, restorations of all kinds, lasting business deals, and a fair approach in any negotiations.

We have retro Uranus in Bharani -Venus’s nak for the entire month.

Use this time, when Venus is in Libra, to make the most difficult changes in the signification of Venus - its signs Taurus & Libra, like finance, family, our close relation, or any health matters and build your strong personality.

You will be able to handle any tough changes, smoothly with Venus in Libra.

Then, Saturn is back in Shatatara nak now and in Sagittarius navamsa.

This is a much better position for Saturn than in Mars’s nakshatra - Dhanishta and Scorpio navamsa.

Even Rahu is comfortable in Pisces, Revati nak to give results. Expect completely different results of this Saturn in Shatatara … than before.

Your work and career will have a boost, expect much relief in all our tasks.

Even, Jupiter will be back in Ashwini, with Cancer, it’s exalted navamsa… Jupiter is slow and almost stationary at 11-12°for the entire month…

Watch this stationary degree in your chart, as you may expect results of those areas at this time.

There will be a new start, more clarity, solutions, healing, growth, travel, enthusiasm, and optimism in the environment.

We have Mars in its own sign Scorpio for the entire month till 27th Dec, when it will cross gandanta and enter Sagittarius.

Scorpio is a sign associated with ending, transformation, and Mars in Scorpio can bring about transformative experiences through action and passion.

Mars here has intense and focused energy with determination and you can pursue your goals with great intensity.

December is the best month to make significant changes from the root level …. Do keep in mind that Ketu is in Chitra to support those transformations.

And, now, Rahu, is coming out of Pisces gandanta, in Revati nakshatra, so, gradually, we can experience the impact of Rahu in Revati ….

And, Mercury is in Sagittarius … about to go retro on 13th December.

Another interesting point is, in December - the Sun, Mars, and retro Mercury will cross Scorpio gandanta.

So, their significations may go through a transformation and all the issues or confusion related to Scorpio-Sagittarius signs can be highlighted this month…

We start the month with Neptune getting direct, in Pisces @ 00.41° in Purva Bhadrapada Nak on 6th Dec.

Our imagination will become now more realistic and there can be an increased understanding of Pisce's significance.

Then on 10th Dec, Jupiter and Venus will be opposite each other @ 12°

Both are ministers and teachers of the Zodiac, but they carry different ideals.

Avoid anything excess…. Since both are benefic planets, expect enhanced goodness and a positive approach.

But we may struggle to balance our personal values and desires signified by Venus, with a more philosophical outlook on life signified by Jupiter.

Then on, 12th Dec, we have a new moon in Scorpio - Jyeshta Nak @ 26°. We are following this 26° for the 3rd month now.

This new moon can be very impactful as it is close to Scorpio gandanta where the lord of Scorpio; Mars is in Scorpio... and the lord of Jayesta, Mercury will go retrograde on 13th December…

So, there won’t be any stability in its signification. Any important discussion, education-related matters, trading, deals, travel, and any documentation work can go back and forth….

Not just that, there can be significant change in those matters also.

Any long pending matters and confusion related to those matters can triggered with this month.

As a saving grace, this retro Mercury has retro Jupiter’s 9th aspect.

Then on 16th Dec - the Sun crosses Scorpio gandanta and enters Sagittarius.

This is the time for transformation and regeneration. Pluto in the Sun’s nakshatra enhances these qualities.

Sun crossing gandant will encourage us to embrace change, let go of what no longer serves, and engage in personal growth.

Sagittarius is a fire and dual sign, a mool trikon sign of Jupiter, and promotes faith, travel, exploring new horizons, optimism, adventure, and a quest for higher knowledge.

Transit Jupiter has its 9th aspect on it. Expect beneficial development in all these significations.

On the same day - Mercury will get back in Moola Nak while in retro.

With the Sun and Mercury both in Moola nakshatra - can take you back to some old, pending matter.

We can see some visible change when on 22nd Dec - Venus will be opposite Uranus @ 26°.

There can be some new development with different options as now Venus is in Vishakha nak and Uranus is a planet of sudden change in Bharani nak.

Also, on 26th Dec – Venus will enter Scorpio where actually those changes will take shape…

Venus in Scorpio is considered an intense and passionate placement for finances, love, and relationships.

Venus represents not only romantic love but also our values, and how we relate to others.

Scorpio is a water sign ruled by Pluto, associated with depth, transformation, and emotional intensity.

As a result, there can be a desire for deep emotions, more finances, a stubborn approach, and healing from hurt.

Then on 27th Dec - we have a Full moon in Gemini - Ardra Nak @ 10.45°

A Full Moon in Gemini – Ardra nak, can amplify the desire for communication, self-expression, and the exchange of ideas.

Conversations may become more, lively, and there's a potential for increased social interaction.

Another important transit of December will be on 28th Dec, when Mars crosses Scorpio gandanta & and enters Sagittarius.

Sagittarius is a fire sign and, values freedom and independence.

With Mars here, there can be an enhanced desire for freedom in actions and a willingness to take risks, to pursue new experiences, and goals with new purposes in life… as Mars crosses gandanta….

The same day, on 28th Dec - Mercury crosses Mars and gets back in Scorpio after crossing gandanta.

Now, this is interesting, as this crossing will encourage us to review our intelligence before we take action… Expect significant change in the way we share our views and talk….act on that.

Finally, on the last day of the month, on 31st Dec - Jupiter gets direct in Aries - Ashwini nak @ 11°

Gradually, the energies will change from here… There can be a renewed sense of hope, confidence, and belief in our capacity.

It can bring new opportunities and growth… Expect positive events in various aspects of life like finance, education, health, and forward movement… in nearly everything.

All in all, December ends on a good note with Jupiter getting direct and even Mercury getting direct on 1st Jan….

The most impacted signs, throughout the month, will be the Scorpio/Taurus axis and the Sagittarius/Gemini axis…. with key planets in it and we shall have a new moon a full moon in these signs….

Sun and Mars are almost moving parallel to each other in Scorpio and slowly drifting apart with Sun in Sagittarius….

Most changes and developments can happen around this area of our chart.

Sagittarius has Jupiter’s aspect and will have Jupiter’s wisdom and knowledge to deal with everything.

With the energy of stationary direct Jupiter on the eve of a new year, we can take a leap of faith and break any boundaries that we have set for ourselves…
