Welcome to December, Stargazers, and get ready—it’s a busy one! First, Neptune goes direct on December 6, inviting a subtle yet profound shift in our spiritual and creative realms. As the planet of inspiration, Neptune’s direct motion encourages our imaginative and spiritual pursuits with a more grounded approach, making it an ideal period for meditation and reflective practices. This is a key time to embrace your dreams and intuition. 

Mercury enters retrograde on Dec 13, which often brings communication mishaps and technological snafus, so this period calls for patience and flexibility. Make a point to slow down, especially in conversations and decision-making. As we navigate through the haze of Mercury retrograde, try to engage in activities that ground you, like enjoying nature. This retrograde phase is not just about challenges; it’s an opportunity to revisit and revise our plans and ideas, allowing for deeper understanding and refinement as we close out 2023.

Jupiter goes direct just before the new year on December 30, creating a sense of expansion and optimism as we step into the new year. Take this time to set intentions for growth and abundance in the coming year. This motion also aligns with the closing of Sagittarius season, catalyzing the spirit of adventure and exploration into our future endeavors. Embrace this period as a chance to dream big and look forward to the abundance that the universe has in store.
