ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS
Winter 2024: Moon-Driven Desires and Compassion
BY MISTY KUCERIS As the Winter Solstice welcomes the start of the winter quarter and the last quarter of the astrological year on December 21, 2024, you find yourself breathing a sign of relief. The four-year election cam - paigning (no, that’s not a typo) is finally over, leaving you with some peace, or some trauma, with the results. Honestly, when it comes to historical significance, either candidate would leave, and will leave, a critical imprint for years to come. But it does matter in terms of strate- gies for healing a country divided. Every significant astrological occur - rence during this winter quarter indicates you’re tired of divisiveness and arguments. You just want to move on with your life in peace, qui - et, and with compassion. During this Winter Solstice, the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn to form a square to the Moon’s North Node and South Node. This is significant as the Sun represents you and your needs while the Moon’s Nodal Axis (as the Nodes are also called when considered as one en - tity) represents the direction your soul wants to take while trying to make sense of your life’s impactful past events. You know the Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year; but it also begins the time pe- riod where it’s good to pull back, evaluate your place in the world, and determine the best direction for your life. Normally when the Sun forms a square to the Moon’s Nodal Axis, you release what doesn’t work from your life so you can implement what will work to improve it. This time the square is more important than usual because later in this winter quarter (on January 11, 2025), the Moon’s Nodal Axis will be changing signs, which indicates a major paradigm shift. (More on this to come.) Right now, with the Moon’s North Node still in the sign of Aries, you are willing to stand up for your rights and beliefs, even fight for them if necessary. At the same
time, with the Moon’s South Node in the sign of Libra, it’s important to understand how your style of standing up for your beliefs impact- ed your relationships with loved ones, and whether you now need to make some changes in your communication style. A few days later, on December 24, 2024, Jupiter retrograde forms a square to Saturn. Jupiter represents the need to move forward with your life while exploring possible plans of action but not taking direct action. When Jupiter is retrograde, it’s important to spend more time exploring your options rather than taking action. With Saturn, you want to have a plan. You need to feel organized and have structure in your life; but when Jupiter retrograde forms this square to Saturn, you feel stress because you don’t have a plan. With current events and the
