From Raven's Nest Dec 14, 2015

This Week Under the Moon
For the week of December 13 through 19.

Sunday, Monday am: the Moon is in Capricorn
Mercury is now in Capricorn, a conjunct (same sign as) connection with the Moon. This could be a rather chatty time, however the subjects will not be frivolous. With Capricorn energy prominent, practical, logical and sensible matters will likely be the focus.
Monday pm, Tuesday, Wednesday: the Moon is in Aquarius
Things are speeding right along, in fact zipping right along in some cases and it might seem hard to stay on track or catch up (if need be). It would be a good idea to give yourself a day off from all that has to be done and simply step off the grid for a little while. This will likely renew both your physical & mental energy toward all the things that are on your to-do list.
Thursday, Friday: the Moon is in Pisces
The planet Jupiter is in Virgo, a sign that is opposite (across the zodiac wheel) Pisces where the Moon is currently. FYI: in jyotish (Indian astrology) Jupiter is the ruler of Pisces. This planet is said to be the bearer of good tidings, good fortune, and good times. You may wish to do something really good for someone else and be like Jupiter yourself.
Saturday: the Moon is in Aries
The planet Mars, which rules (is associated with) the sign Aries, is in the opposite sign of Libra right now. This brings up two possible scenarios: 1) contention or frustration will be quite present or 2) you will receive a much-needed helping hand with something pressing.
Check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply forecast information to that area of your life as well.
For example, the Moon is in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain - however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place...then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place...have a party!
It is interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.
Current Planet Positions:
Sun - Sagittarius until Dec. 22
Mercury - Capricorn until Feb. 14
(retrograde Jan. 5 - Jan. 25)
Venus - Scorpio until Dec. 30
Mars - Libra until Jan. 4
Jupiter - Virgo until Sept. 9
Saturn - Sagittarius until Dec. 20, 2017
Uranus - Aries until Mar. 6, 2019
(Taurus - May 16, 2018-Nov. 7, 2018)
Neptune - Pisces until Mar. 30, 2025
Pluto - Capricorn until Nov. 20, 2024
Current Asteroid Positions:
Ceres - Aquarius until Jan. 29
Pallas - Capricorn until Jan. 23
Juno - Scorpio until Nov. 7
(back into Libra again June 9 - July 9)
Vesta - Aries until Mar. 9
Chiron - Pisces until Apr. 22, 2018
(Chiron usually stays in one sign for about a little over two years, very similar to Saturn's travels. However this time it is making an extended visit to a sign.)
Current Asteroid Transits:
Ceres - Alternatives and offbeat ideas may be more viable than you think.
Pallas - Check out what resources your ancestors used when they were faced with projects or challenges.
Juno - Intense partnership emotions are in the air.
Vesta - Seek out activities that relate to your basic belief system.
Chiron - Transcend wounds and negativity through compassion.
Note: Timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on same Eastern time zone).
 v/c = Void-of-Course - When the Moon is void-of-course, spend time working on projects already in progress, creative endeavors, or self-improvement. Void-of-course simply means that no planets are aspecting the Moon as it gets ready to change signs; there won't be a configuration of astro energy available to utilize. It's best not to start new projects, sign important agreements, or go shopping when the Moon is void-of-course because the result will probably be unsatisfactory in some way.
Mercury Retrograde - the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, traffic and mail can become very mixed-up, delayed, or go on the 'fritz' during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after (to resume regular activities) a Mercury retrograde period.
