Suit Up, Buttercup: Chiron, Jupiter, and Saturn Are Calling You Out

The week of December 23, 2024 – December 29, 2024 is not for the faint of heart. If the stars were characters in a play, this week’s script would blend inspirational speeches, deep therapy sessions, and just a pinch of chaos—because why not keep us on our toes? The big boss this week is Chiron turning direct in Aries, dragging your wounds out of their hiding places like it’s spring cleaning day for your soul. But don’t worry, the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn are all lining up to provide a mix of optimism, friction, and hard-earned wisdom along the way.

Let’s break this down day by day because, trust me, you’re going to want a plan.

Monday, December 23 – Moon in Libra Trine Jupiter in Gemini

The week kicks off with the Moon in peace-loving Libra making a lucky trine to Jupiter in Gemini. This is the astrological equivalent of walking into a holiday party and realizing everyone is in a great mood for once. The Libra Moon wants harmony, connection, and just enough balance to keep everyone happy, while Jupiter in Gemini is handing out ideas like free drinks at an open bar.

What it means for you: Optimism runs high, emotions flow freely, and people actually feel…nice? Shocking, I know. Use this energy to smooth out any rough edges in your relationships. Say something kind. Call that friend you’ve been ignoring. It’s also a great day to take emotional risks—Jupiter is essentially cheering you on from the sidelines with pom-poms yelling, “What’s the worst that could happen? Go for it!”

Your task: Set some intentions or take a chance on something that makes your heart happy. Optimism might not solve everything, but it’ll definitely make the day brighter.

Tuesday, December 24 – Jupiter in Gemini Square Saturn in Pisces

Ah, here comes Saturn to remind us that too much of a good thing can come with consequences. Jupiter wants to go big, dream big, and make everything happen yesterday. Saturn, on the other hand, folds its arms and mutters, “Hold your horses, dreamer. Have you even checked the fine print?” This square is a tug-of-war between boundless optimism and the cold reality of limitations.

What it means for you: Expect delays, frustration, or that familiar sense of “Why can’t things just go my way?!” Here’s the thing: Saturn isn’t trying to ruin your life. It’s trying to make sure you’ve got the structure to support those big dreams.

Your task: Slow down and balance your excitement with a little caution. If something feels blocked, it’s because it needs more work. Think of it as Saturn insisting you double-check the rocket fuel before launching into space.

Wednesday, December 25 – Moon in Scorpio

Well, Merry Christmas! The Moon slips into Scorpio, and suddenly it’s less about small talk over dinner and more about deep, emotional excavation. Scorpio doesn’t do light and fluffy. It wants to get to the core of things—your fears, your obsessions, and those pesky skeletons you’ve been hiding under the rug.

What it means for you: This is a day for shadow work, introspection, and emotional decluttering. Relationships might intensify, secrets may surface, and those emotional walls you’ve built? Yeah, Scorpio’s here with a wrecking ball. But don’t panic. This energy isn’t out to get you—it’s here to help you release what’s been festering.

Your task: Ask yourself: “What am I holding onto that no longer serves me?” Journal it out. Set boundaries. If it doesn’t spark joy (or even sparks resentment), let it go.

Thursday, December 26 – Mercury Opposes Jupiter

Imagine Mercury in Sagittarius standing on a soapbox preaching its grand ideas to a crowd, while Jupiter in Gemini interrupts with, “Ooh, shiny object over there!” This opposition creates a clash between visionary thinking and scatterbrain energy.

What it means for you: Big ideas abound, but you might feel like you’re juggling too many thoughts at once. Communication can feel all over the place, and promises made today might not hold up under scrutiny later.

Your task: Focus on one idea at a time. Write things down before your brain gets ahead of you. Don’t overcommit or try to please everyone—it’s okay to take a step back and clarify your priorities.

Friday, December 27 – Mercury Squares Saturn

Here’s Saturn again, back to deliver a reality check. Mercury in Sagittarius wants to shout its grand vision from the rooftops, but Saturn in Pisces asks, “Have you really thought this through?” Doubts, mental blockages, or criticism may bubble up.

What it means for you: It’s easy to feel deflated when Saturn shows up, but here’s the thing: Saturn isn’t saying you can’t do it; it’s saying you need a better plan. Doubts are signals that something needs more structure or clarity.

Your task: Refine your ideas. Slow down and focus on practical solutions. If someone critiques you, don’t take it personally—use it as a tool for improvement.

Saturday, December 28 – Venus Squares Uranus

This is a wild card day, my friends. Venus in Aquarius wants freedom and excitement, but Uranus in Taurus shakes up anything that feels too stable or boring. Relationships, finances, and values are all up for review. Expect the unexpected—sudden shifts, revelations, or changes that feel both liberating and destabilizing.

What it means for you: If you’ve been feeling stuck, this energy might push you to break free. But be mindful—impulsivity can lead to chaos.

Your task: Embrace change where it’s needed but avoid throwing everything out just for the sake of rebellion. Ask: “What do I value most, and where do I need more freedom?” Flexibility is your superpower today.

Sunday, December 29 – Chiron Turns Direct in Aries

And now we come to the star of the show: Chiron turning direct in Aries. Chiron represents our deepest wounds, but also our path to healing. In Aries, the wound often revolves around rejection, self-doubt, or feeling like life is unfair. Aries, however, is the warrior—it doesn’t sit back and sulk. It stands up, faces the pain, and uses it as fuel to move forward.

What it means for you: If you’ve been feeling stuck in your pain during Chiron’s retrograde, this is the moment to take action. Healing isn’t about pretending you’re fine—it’s about owning your vulnerabilities and turning them into strengths.

Your task: Ask yourself: “Where do I need to be brave?” Take one step—just one—toward healing. Whether it’s starting therapy, having a tough conversation, or setting a boundary, the key is action. Aries doesn’t heal by sitting still.

Final Thoughts: You’ve Got This

This week isn’t about perfection or easy wins—it’s about progress. Chiron turning direct sets the tone: Life may not be fair, but you are stronger than you realize. Saturn may test you, but its lessons build resilience. Venus and Uranus shake things up, but sometimes a little chaos is necessary for change.

So suit up, buttercup. The stars are pushing you to face your fears, own your power, and take the next step. Healing is messy, growth is uncomfortable, but you’re not here to play small. You’re here to rise.
