WE ARE SO BACK!!!! HAPPY DECEMBER!!!! The stars predict this will be a productive month for all of us, not even considering the fact it is finals season. We are gifted with the chance to reflect, recharge, and prepare for a fresh start as we close out the year. There will be significant celestial events and planetary movements! We want to remain active and be ready to embark on a new adventure whenever the old one no longer serves us.
Mercury will be retrograde in Capricorn from December 1 – 22, making this an atmosphere for reflection and reassessment! Resolve those lingering issues, and be weary about starting new things before retrograde ends. The new moon on December 1st and 11th wants you to take risks, be spontaneous, and be bold. However, we want to pause and reflect before rushing forward. We can be patient, and continue to reflect on our long-term goals. You want to do a lot of reassessing this month, no matter what your star sign is.
The Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) marks the beginning of Capricorn season on December 21st. This is another push that you should be reflecting on the past and planning for the future. It is the best time to move on from something emotionally and strengthen your connections with those around you.
On December 4th, the sun will face off with Saturn in Pisces. The weight of responsibility will not be something you can hide from. Perhaps you will feel like you are stretching yourself too thin, or you feel disconnected from your dreams. You may feel like you are working hard, but not getting closer to the reward you expect. It is important to push forward and stay on your path.
December is power. You want to focus on your personal growth, and reflection, and prepare yourself for 2025. Mercury retrograde wants you to slow down, while the Sagittarius New Moon and Cancer Full Moon will balance blinding optimism with emotional footing. Venus will be in Scorpio and Uranus will turn direct, so relationships and long-term goals may be transformed.
