This week brings a bit more calmness! On the 23rd, the Sun in Capricorn forms a challenging square with the Nodes of Destiny, prompting us to make significant choices that will impact our future for years. The next day, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini creates a tense connection with Saturn in Pisces, similar to what we experienced on August 19th. This connection may leave us feeling uncertain about our direction and create conflicts in our affairs.

On December 26th, Mercury in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter retrograde, intensifying arguments and expressive communication. Then, on the 27th, Mercury aligns strongly with Saturn, encouraging us to establish structure and clarity in our conversations. Finally, on December 28th, Venus in Aquarius interacts with Uranus retrograde in Taurus, signaling a time of change. This energy pushes us to break free from restrictive relationships and embrace our individuality.

Witch-tip: 

Since Mercury is an active planet this week, it’s important to exercise the throat chakra. Try singing out a statement rather than speaking or writing it in order to tune into the chakra and connect with the truth. 

Aries 

As one of the more strategic signs of the zodiac, the week ahead is a time to set professional goals for the new year. If there have been any objectives left on the sidelines, now is the time to start making moves to bring them to life by manifesting greatness.

Taurus 

No one knows more than you about the importance of R & R. You deserve to break from the stresses of your mundane existence and struggles by indulging in a spa day or a walk in nature. Even bed rotting will have an immense effect in heightening your energy levels. 

Gemini 

Your intuition is powerful during the upcoming days, so you should listen to your potent dreams. You might recall a former vision that comes to fruition now, making you totally aware of its nuances. Pay attention to what you're being shown now, it will open your eyes to underlying themes.

Cancer 

Think of how you can upgrade your daily routine. Doing so helps you get organized and strive for a thorough life. The first thing you need to do is create an iCal and stick to the schedule. That way you won't miss out on events and have time for yourself. 

Leo 

Your generous heart is getting the ultimate present. A white elephant gift from a coworker speaks to your spirit, urging you to thank them in a very special way. Log into your social media account and give them a shout out and send them some love to show your gratitude. 

Virgo

Being the compassionate earth sign that you are, it is vital that you protect your energy. Although you want to connect with your crew, you are becoming aware that not everyone has your best interests at heart. Make sure you're spending time with those that truly care instead of the vampires.

Libra 

Taking charge of your finances can be daunting, especially during the onset of the holidays. However, you can be a baller on a budget if you get the look for less and focus on sales rather than paying 100% retail. Spend within reason and fight the desire to buy luxuries.

Scorpio 

You’ll find comfort in hanging out with friends from the gym, book club, or the local bar. Make plans with them to welcome in the new season. Spending time with these peeps might let you see their softer side, ultimately bringing you closer. Sparks of friendship will begin to fly.

Sagittarius 

Love comes in many forms and you are discovering what they are. Embrace the tender vibes and engulf yourself in the romantic sentiments. Do not sabotage yourself in matters of the heart by acting out. Try to be a devoted archer by committing to one person instead of running away.

Capricorn 

Since your solar is underway, it is time for you to become more intentional. Meditate on what you wish to manifest and build in the months ahead. Start planting the seeds now to cultivate the future dreams you desire. With a bit of gusto and drive, you can accomplish anything.

Aquarius

With all the changes in your life, you should decompress and understand how you've grown. Think of yourself as a sphinx rising from the ashes as you become your true self. You are becoming unstoppable—it is time you take notice of how powerful you truly are. You got this, Aquarius! 

Pisces 

Reach out to the acquaintances you haven't recently seen to share several laughs about the good old days. Make plans to spend more time with each other in 2025. Connecting with them will bring a smile to your face and make you feel golden as you enter the new year.
