Witch tipS:

On December 22, when the Sun links up with Mercury retrograde, it's a good time to focus on setting clear intentions. The Sun’s energy and vitality will lend strength to Mercury, making it easier for us to plan our future effectively. Although Mercury is still retrograde, this presents an opportunity for progress towards our goals. Take time to meditate on your goals in the coming week, and write down your intentions. Be sure to stay committed to your goals while remaining open to unexpected opportunities. With the retrograde's influence, you can plan for the rest of the year with ease, and perhaps even enjoy the process.

Aries

This week presents an opportunity for you to reflect on your career objectives. It's possible that what you've been working towards isn't quite aligned with your long-term vision. As a result, it's worth exploring ways that you can refine your goals and make progress towards achieving them in the future.

Taurus

It is extremely helpful to adopt a fresh perspective, one that involves learning from past experiences rather than dwelling on them. Remember that personal growth is an ongoing process and should be approached with a willingness to learn. Use these personal lessons as a catalyst to evolve.

Gemini

As you navigate your relationships this week, it's important to establish healthy boundaries with others. However, the upcoming week may make it difficult to do so. You must identify your limits and communicate them clearly to others. This will prevent you from feeling undervalued or taken advantage of.

Cancer

Maintaining a consistent routine can be challenging. Instead of stressing over each little thing, try to go with the flow and take on situations day by day. Have an open mind and do not let minor obstacles get in your way. Remember to shake them off and keep moving forward.

Leo

It's okay to take a break and recharge yourself whenever you feel exhausted, even if others are vying for your attention this week. Don't feel obligated to be in the spotlight 24/7. Take this time to rest and rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit. Then, you can reappear refreshed.

As your foundation shifts, it indicates that you're ready to make meaningful changes in your life. You don't have to tackle everything at once, though. Keep in mind that taking small strides is crucial as you work towards becoming the person you aspire to be while shedding unwanted attributes.

Choosing your word choice carefully and being compassionate in your communication can go a long way in avoiding any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Additionally, it could provide you with an opportunity to comprehend individuals more effectively as you can engage in discussions with them that are not riddled with arguments.

To navigate through the changes happening around you, it's important to stay focused on your goals and aspirations. While the journey may take unexpected turns, it's crucial to stay true to yourself and your desired destination, as this will help you maintain balance and stability in your life.
