December 11 through December 17, 2023
Mercury is turning retrograde on Tuesday, so let’s all make sure our electronics are backed up and ready to go. This retrograde in particular will be with us through the end of the year, and won’t resume forward motion until January 1st. With that in mind, we’ll start to feel like we are backing up to take a leap of faith once 2024 begins, retracing our steps and fine-tuning our plans for the future. A Sagittarius new Moon graces the heavens on Tuesday, marking the start of a two-week cycle for new ideas to emerge. So obviously, this is a great time to start making new year resolutions if you do that sort of thing, or simply releasing anything that is keeping us from moving forward so we are ready to embrace new beginnings and better results for our efforts! The workdays this week are Wednesday and Thursday as the Moon travels through diligent Capricorn, so be sure to attend anything that is pressing midweek. The Moon will spend the weekend in Aquarius, where flexibility and far-sightedness will be essential. We need to keep our eye on the bigger picture when minor irritations or delays pop up (courtesy of Mercury retrograde of course!) and trust that any blocks to movement are designed to protect us from moving in the wrong direction.
