THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
The quality of time in December speaks of positive feelings and a fundamental openness throughout the month. However, in the middle of the month, excessive expectations could lead to disappointments and require a reality check. Invigorating tension characterizes the last third of the month. It could make this year's Christmas a special occasion.

On December 1, there is a New Moon in Sagittarius. Shortly after that, the Moon reaches the opposition to Jupiter in Gemini. On December 2, Mercury in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries and Venus in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. The time quality of these days speaks of positive feelings and a willingness to stand up for what is good without much fuss. You can now clarify relationships or establish new connections. The current openness to new ideas goes hand in hand with a realistic perception of the world and allows you to see the bigger picture.
On December 4, Mercury reaches the opposition to Jupiter. The Sun squares Saturn; two days later, it forms a conjunction with Mercury. Now is the time to take a concrete step forward and make dreams come true. These days, many conversations and discussions may also be necessary, although the respective points of view could be noticeably subjective.

In the following days, the quality of time will intensify significantly. On December 7, the opposition between the Sun and Jupiter will be exact. Mercury is in exact square with Saturn. Venus leaves the somewhat sober Capricorn, enters experimental Aquarius, and immediately meets Pluto. Mars in Leo stands still and begins its retrograde phase, which lasts until February 24. Neptune, on the other hand, ends its retrograde on December 8. It will continue to move through the last degrees of Pisces over the next few months and enter Aries for the first time in March 2025.
During these days, desires, longings, and demands could be pretty powerful. The desire for a new experience, a new kick, or a profound change could sometimes feel a bit compulsive. Excessive expectations can lead to disappointment. Do an honest reality check and adjust your plans to the possibilities.

Desires and cravings remain an issue in the coming days. On December 12, Venus, still intensely energized by Pluto, is opposite Mars. Some big wishes could come true now. You may even be lucky enough to fulfill someone's deepest wish.
On December 15, there is a Full Moon in Gemini. Mercury ends its retrograde phase on the same day. The Full Moon is in tension with Neptune, and the Sun reaches the exact square with Neptune on December 18. In the sometimes hectic pre-Christmas hustle and bustle, there could now be welcome moments that invite you to pause or bring a surprising silence. The question of meaning may also arise. Just carry this question in your heart for a while. During the Christmas days, it could receive an answer.

On December 20, Venus trines Jupiter. On the 21st, the Sun enters Capricorn - it is the solstice. At the same time, the Moon opposes Saturn and squares Jupiter. The square between Saturn and Jupiter becomes exact on December 24, and with Mercury opposite Jupiter on the 26th, a T-square is formed that remains active throughout the Christmas season.
This tension during the Christmas period will be hard to ignore, but it could have a revitalizing effect. Mercury and Jupiter indicate a fundamental openness and willingness to communicate. Share and listen before you judge. However, the focus of the T-square is Saturn in Pisces. It speaks of a lack of compassion, the soul's thirst for a spiritual home, and the fear of being forgotten. Take this voice seriously, too, for it can lead those willing to engage with their innermost selves deep into the mystery of Christmas – the birth of the new light in the darkness.
On December 27, Mercury squares Saturn, and Venus squares Uranus on the 28th. The Capricorn New Moon is on December 30.Retrograde Mars is about to reach the opposition to Pluto in Aquarius (which is exact on January 3, 2025).

The mood at the end of the month is relatively sober and increasingly charged. This is an excellent time to look back at the past year's events. The conclusions that arise from this could be more straightforward than expected and show you which path to take in the new year.

My take on the start of the Year, skip to 45 sec to when i got the audio sorted.

Andy Anderson is a skater of this generation who when he first came on the scene was ridiculed by most. He likes to wear a helmet everywhere skates and he’s approach is very different. He is a true individual who seeks to progress and create with the Skateboarding. the man who he is speaking with Rodney Mullen is a very intellectual person who started skating in the late 70s and in the 80s was probably one of the most innovative skaters in the world of freestyle skateboarding which transitioned into street skateboarding tricks and has been given the label The Godfather of modern Skateboarding and the inventor of countless skateboarding tricks alongside Tony Hawk
The conversation between the two is beautiful. There’s no ego with these guys. They purely love the creative process of what they do.

THE YEAR 2025

In 2025, the collective field will receive some new impulses. Mars-related issues will be on our minds in the first half of the year. Mars will form exact oppositions with Pluto in January and April (see below for more). In addition, two planets will enter Mars-ruled Aries: Neptune in March and Saturn in May. It is about new beginnings, new departures, and the innocence of the beginner's mind. Saturn and Neptune will bring these issues sharply into focus. When they conjoin for the first time in July, structures that are no longer viable could come under severe pressure.
Uranus also changes signs in July and enters Gemini for the first time. The energy of renewal will then increasingly focus on communication and the media, science, and the world of ideas in general, thus influencing the quality and direction of the new beginning. We will publish more on the respective topics in the newsletter and website at the appropriate time.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME

The new year begins under high tension. Last November, Mars and Pluto opposed each other on the Cancer-Capricorn axis (see November 2024 newsletter). They are forming the second of three oppositions, which is exact on January 3.Retrograde Mars is in Leo, and Pluto is in Aquarius. The basic mood is quite different from that during the first opposition. Although it is again about self-assertion and power-conscious action, the focus is now on freedom and how to regain it. In these first days of the year, remarkable social developments could begin out of the blue, but fierce power struggles could also break out, demanding a great deal of attention.
On January 3, Venus enters Pisces, indicating a highly refined energy that also includes the victims and outcasts of this world. This sensitive and compassionate attitude is a crucial counterbalance to the often ruthless assertiveness of the Mars-Pluto connection.
On January 6, Mars retrogrades back into Cancer, where he will remain until mid-April. This could awaken old feelings of powerlessness. Since Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces at the same time, some things could feel more dramatic than they actually are. Be mindful of your thoughts, and don't believe everything you are told. Mercury enters Capricorn on January 8, allowing you to take a more analytical view of events.

On January 13, the Full Moon is in Cancer, sextile Uranus in Taurus, and in a loose conjunction with Mars, which is still trine Neptune. Mars is still slightly aspected by Pluto. The Sun trines Uranus. On the 14th, Venus squares Jupiter in Gemini. On the 16th, the Sun reaches the exact opposition to Mars.
The days around this Full Moon could be stormy and emotionally challenging. We can no longer ignore the differences that arise, and it takes a lot of patience and insight to meet the different needs. Practice serenity and stay centered within yourself. Try not to shut yourself off from the challenges but engage with the emotional events to avoid becoming rigid.

On January 19, Venus conjoins Saturn in Pisces. The Sun enters Aquarius and reaches Pluto on the 21st. Now, the focus is on relationship issues. You can consider the upheavals of the last few days and their effects soberly and honestly. Seek ways of a new togetherness where fronts have hardened.
On January 23, Mercury opposes Mars and trines Uranus. Language is now becoming a powerful tool that some might use as a weapon. Creative writing can be a welcome outlet and enable creative flights of fancy. The trine of Venus and Mars on January 26significantly supports all creative activities.
On January 29, the New Moon in Aquarius trines Jupiter. Mercury has reached Aquarius the day before and is now conjunct Pluto. One day later, on January 30, Uranus ends its retrograde phase, and the trine between the Sun and Jupiter becomes exact. The quality of time brightens up noticeably and invites us to take steps into the unknown, take the world as it is here and now, and shape our lives.
