Astrology for Healers and Therapists – December 2024
Before I look at this month’s charts I must point out that the interpretation is mainly for therapists dealing with problematic situations. That is why I seem to emphasise the problem or negative side of life rather than the positive. Of course the charts indicate a general situation but the leaning must be for those clients or patients who are struggling in some way.
First do please note that the following is using the WESTERN FOUR ELEMENT system based in western magical and astrological understanding. The individual therapist must make the translation to the Eastern Five Element system that is usual in Shiatsu and Acupuncture theory. If you have forgotten the explanation about Elemental and Modal make up then do refresh your memory by looking back at the Introduction to Astrology for Healers and Therapists.
I look at the charts for the Sundays in December when the Sun is nearing the mid heaven for that day. Obviously this is for Haye Mill, so you will have to accept the approximation for your own geographical position but the interpretation should not vary too much from this one. It is a way of following the general trends throughout the month. Notice there are 5 Sundays in this month once again.
Last month saw how self interest quickly dominated the situation and reproach and entrenchment was the end result. Let’s see how that progresses.
The week beginning the 1st December
The Sun has lost its line of ease with Pluto and gained a strong challenge with Jupiter and Saturn. Mercury has joined the same aspects resulting in a very strong T-Square on Saturn. Venus and Pluto have formed a weak conjunction and formed a trine on Neptune with Uranus. Mercury has turned retrograde.
The Modal scene is unchanged from last week, but Fire has gained a sign from Earth.
Cardinal 1 – Fixed 3 – Mutable 6
Fire 4 – Earth 2 – Air 2 – Water 2
Although there is almost an escape into seeing events as being Fated, there is much pain in the experience and a building up of resentment with the world at large. Effort can be made to compromise but is short lived.
Counsellors – Try to move from any expression of pain to understanding why it is happening.
Healers – This really is a good week to tap into inner resources, both for your patients and yourself.
The week beginning 8th December
Venus has moved into Aquarius and formed a strong conjunction with Pluto, strengthening the opposition to Mars and the trine on Neptune. Mercury is now the line of ease with Mars, and not the Sun.
Cardinal has lost its only sign to Fixed, whilst Fire and Earth have both lost a sign each to Air and Water respectively.
Cardinal 0 – Fixed 4– Mutable 6
Fire 3 – Earth 1 – Air 3 – Water 3
Far less movement in the chart as Mars loses its positive influence and becomes more negative. Things seem to be more polarised than last week with an increase in entrenchment. “That’s how it is and is not likely to change”.
Counsellors – Clients will be less likely to accept others’ advice and stick to their guns, so stay in your professional role and reflect this.
Healers – despite the energetic balance present there is less likelihood of progress being made this week. Don’t try too hard!
The week beginning 15th December
Venus has moved further apart from Pluto, weakening the trine and opposition effects. Mercury is apparently stationary in the heavens, has formed a line of ease with Venus and lost its opposition with Jupiter. Venus has formed a line of ease with Jupiter as well. The T-Square is greatly diminished in strength and is only formed at the weekend with the fast moving Moon.
The Modal scene is unchanged from last week but Air has gained a sign from Water.
Cardinal 0 – Fixed 4 – Mutable 6
Fire 3 – Earth 1 – Air 4 – Water 2
Things are beginning to loosen up with more forethought being applied before things are said or done. Tension is easing all round.
Counsellors – you should be able to move things along as you would like this week, so make the best use of the cooperation that is now apparent.
Healers – Although the energetic scene is less balanced, it is still able to be applied with considerable effectiveness.
The week beginning 22nd December
The Sun has moved into Capricorn and has formed a T-Square at the weekend with the Moon and Neptune. Mercury has resumed a forwards movement and formed a T-Square with Jupiter on Saturn. Mars has formed a line of ease with Neptune. There is a temporary Grand Trine formed by the Moon, Uranus and Pluto.
Cardinal has gained a sign from Mutable, whilst both Air and Fire have lost a sign each to Earth.
Cardinal 1 – Fixed 4 – Mutable 5
Fire 2 – Earth 3 – Air 3 – Water 2
A much more confused picture, especially at the weekend. There is a lot of rethinking and evaluation going on that influences actions – rather than actions coming first and thoughts second.
Counsellors – This is a good week for Counsellors. Make the best use of the prevailing influences.
Healers – There is an excellent balance this week although not much reaction. Take your time before applying any therapy and don’t rush treatment.
The week beginning 29th December
The Sun has dropped its aspects and stands alone. The Grand Trine has gone but the T-Square on Saturn has strengthened this weekend.
The Modal scene is unchanged from last week, but Fire has gained a sign from Earth.
Cardinal 1 – Fixed 4 – Mutable 5
Fire 3 – Earth 2 – Air 3 – Water 2
There is a growing sense of ‘why me’ resentment and a bit more biting back against protagonists due to less patience. Re-evaluation has also begun over the ideas of Fate and spirituality.
Counsellors – Self has taken a back seat as thoughts have become more profound. You might find yourself in deep waters with your Clients. Be careful!
Healers – Last weeks favourable energetic scene continues this week. You should breeze along this week.
Things are looking to improve.
