December 3-4 is an interesting day worldwide.

We may still have a hangover from all that socialising we may have done over the weekend due to the Venus and Moon in Libra. We may have spent time in the lovely company of our partners or friends. Social graces were all the rage, small talk, gossip and all that.

But on December 3-4, it will seem as if the energies change overnight.

First, the Moon and Venus will enter Scorpio, leaving Libra, joining early bird Mercury, and ultimately leaving no major planets in Air. Over the weekend, from having almost zero Scorpio energy, we’re suddenly thrust to a stellium in Scorpio.

This brings a notable change in mood, from a more lighthearted, social one to a more intense, darker one. We may suddenly lose interest in small talk and get the urge to speak our minds instead. Alternatively, we may want to completely hide our true opinions from others, except to those we trust the most.

Instead of diplomatic pleasantries we can suddenly drift to mind games. Human interaction may lessen, only leaving the bare essentials. This may also drift to the extreme, through obsession and codependency. Scorpio, after all, tends to relate only with its closest allies and loved ones. Instead of getting along harmoniously, we’ll be more focused on intimacy: sex, secrets, debt, and death. We’ll be more interested in what really motivates people rather than the surface-level.

Another interesting event over this period is that, finally, after a seemingly endless week of prolonged agony, Sun Square Mars will reach its exact hit. With this freedom of such passionate and expressive planets from one another’s bondage, we may find a sudden brazenness to express or assert ourselves instead of compromising. Leos and Arians who may have felt frustrated over the past week may feel some relief after this exact hit. Perhaps after a week of holding back any strong urges or initiatives, we may suddenly have an avenue to release or express them.

Combined with the sudden influx of Scorpionic energy, this may very well result to a temporary high for our sex lives. Play safe, friends.
