Astrology Forecast – Week of December 23-29, 2013
His shift into Capricorn, coupled with the retrograde there of Venus, ruler of all we hold dear, is making for a more introspective and reflective winter than usual. Minimalism is gaining appeal. Aren’t you already scaling back? Cutting activities down? Investing your thoughts and time more in matters that mean something to you, than in the usual hubbub and gift avalanche? That’s the meaning of this holiday season: memories, experiences and fewer gifts than in the past, carefully selected and with lasting value.
What’s important comes clearly into view by Sunday, when Mercury meets the Sun and sets off a rain of lightning bolts with Uranus. The week ends with more clarity and self-knowledge, unexpected, game-changing messages and realizations, and minds catapulting out of safe, familiar boxes. We’ll be ringing out the old and ringing in the new well ahead of the calendar.
Monday: It’s a day of shifts furthering your personal growth process: choices, tweaks, fixes, adjustments, going for the new, streamlining, focusing, and shoring up your strengths. Conversations move into new-and-improved territory, demonstrating that your patterns and approaches have matured. Epiphanies are on tap all down long.
Tuesday: Practicalities are in the air. Communication and transportation matters come down to terra firma as the cosmic messenger Mercury lands on Capricorn for a two week stay. Reentry promises to be smooth, as if steered by a wise, unseen hand. Internal engines are all systems go. Hearts are open. The milk of human kindness is smoothing interactions. All in all a lovely day — except for those rumblings. Christmas Eve or not, tonight’s hardly silent or quiet, as the Mars/Uranus opposition builds toward its predawn completion.
