If you have a partner you will be seeking different kind of pleasures. Experimentation in the bedroom should keep your eyes from wandering. Incorporating some form of change or excitement can rejuvenate an old relationship and bring renewed commitment.
If single, an electric or kinky type of attractiveness will bring eccentric types within your range.

Jamie ..question
I understand the impact of this moon will be positive but what about for a person who has his natal sun at 29 degree Gemini.
Shouldnt that translate into hardship as the sun represents the ego the males of the family the pride?
Hello! Excellent articles, i really love the way you analyze the aspects, you have a very special approach. By the way, there is something wrong with the links in the previous and next moon phases above.
Hi Jamie!
I am so happy to read that this moon is positive. I have big changes on a personal level that day so it sounds great, I am just a little bit concern on the professional level by the fact that Saturn transit will square my natal Saturn… and I would be grateful to hear your thoughts about this:
On the new moon 20 September I closed a very important agreement, at the time the moon was falling over my natal Saturn.
Now I am going to challenge this agreement next Monday/Tuesday (some points have not been drafted as it was agreed and they are not financially as good as they should be as some important points are missing on paper). So I probably will get an answer by the 18 December (whether a revision is accepted or not) and if admitted it would trigger a full revision which can go for months. There are a couple of complicated points to argue but I feel confident that my arguments are strong enough to be admitted. Could this new moon on the 18 December which squares my natal Saturn and therefore the point where the new moon 20 September fell play in my favour due to Uranus ( risk are perceived as calculated) and Venus (more money coming to me through the new agreement)?
Thanks !!
Hello Mr. Jamie, I have a curious question: My natal sun is in Leo at 26′ 59 Degrees, this new moon I think Trines my Sun is that true? August 19th 1994 Denver, Co.
Hi Jamie,
Good article and wow, lots to think about. I am taking my 21 year old daughter, who is in her last year of Uni to a place I have also longed to go, but somehow never got to, Venice, Italy. We leave at exactly the time the New Moon is, 6:30 am flight and will be there for 18,19, 20th. I have 25 Sag as my 12th house cusp (Galactic Center) and I was born with an exact Saturn (10th) 2 deg Sag, opposing Venus (4th house) in 2 Gemini. My daughter has Sun in Libra opposing Saturn (5th opposed 11th) and in Libra to Aries…so wow, this theme really applies. It is our Mother/Daughter Christmas bonding trip. How about that?
I have 27′ Neptune Retrograde and 24′ Sag – South Node and almost conjunct my moon in 20′ Sag. What might this transiting New moon aspects mean for me? I also notice Venus will be in quite close degrees as well.
Remember – most mistakes made in Lunar astrology is our trying to fit the MOON into a SUN BOX. Moon is not mind/body, nor about anything outside of one’s self, not about the other, nor anyone else but you, your reality, your shadows and the mirrors which appear. Happy New Moon
Thank you
I like the sound and feel of this New Moon, Jamie, sounds like those who have ethically worked hard with good values , respectful of others, a strong backbone etc, may fair well for a pleasant change, no matter how it has appeared, I personally hope that repulsive globalised media offering merely been a Neptune illusion/delusion & warning of how things have been heading rather than how they really because I truly believe that the majority are good folk at heart, so the majority may well find its affects encouraging. Its been a long hard slog through the mire of toxic sludge the human dominated world has been generating expecting all life to suck it up or be killed by it, I have faith that through nature, it isnt all as doomed or dammed as the fatalistic would have us give up and believe so long as we changed our heart & ways. Highest hopes for a remarkably wonderful festive season to all. Blessed be xxx
I also feel that as well as the Monetary investments you mentioned, that all that we have invested our heart and energy into, even if that tree of life we have been working hard to grow ourself for a long time seemed to have been robbed of fruit or chopped down, its power remains, thus a windfall in the true sense of the word, may now drop that fruit in the laps of those to whom they belong, as the table turns this final click into place with what has been newly aligning since 2012. I love mystical adventures, so much more interesting to me than other types, although equally perilous tests of endurance hahaha 😉
Hi Jamie, Saturn into Capricorn shall be with us just a few days from now. What is your insight on this in terms of the global financial market and world economy ?
I have read your article, it is really interesting and has lots of useful information. I also recommend it to friends so they can read it and they see the same thing
Great I really like your post. Such amazing information, all the best for more updates. Thanks for sharing. It is such a very amazing post.
As Lohri^ had commented and brought this article up,
i write and comment in hindsight.
I detected two important shifts on Nov18 and Dec18,
and both being new moons,
this is where i put metal to the petal,
as my mindset changed 360.
It was a time not to be half hearted,
and finish off downsizing in earnest.
