ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

If your finances felt a bit uncontrollable recently, at least you can now say that you are not as rattled. You’re learning to pivot and go with the shifting tides, Aries. Your ability to manage even when things feel a bit wild enables you to not only create a firmer foundation for future monetary success but also advise others.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

You project a surprising first appearance, Taurus, even if you don’t realize it. Expectations are in for a big reevaluation. While this might have made you feel unsteady in the past, you have enough life lessons here to be able to use it to your advantage, especially in new social circles. Charm them and get them to do your bidding. Heh, heh.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

Geminis prefer stability but the past few months might have delivered an earthquake or two when you least expected it. Maybe these events were caused by forces outside of your control and others, not. Happily, now you feel more in control and, while sudden changes might still occur, you can roll with the rock and roll and dance.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

Friends can be a source of uncertainty as your expectations may not have been met recently. But, Cancer, you have learned a lot about people and more clearly understand the give and take of certain relationships. Use what you have learned and make your social life as interesting and exciting as you want and deserve.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

Your professional path might have shifted dramatically and unexpectedly in the recent past. While it might have felt like a combination of relief and apprehension about the future, it was a necessary readjustment. Prime yourself for more change, but it’s change that you can manage effectively. Get your future in gear.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

Has travel been a bit more difficult and full of unanticipated challenges recently, Virgo? If so, chalk any snafus up to fate. Use these experiences as a good life lesson which has sharpened your ability to pivot and be more flexible. In fact, some changes might have led you to places you never thought of seeing. Expand your world.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

If your love life has been a bit unpredictable and unsteady, expect to be a bit more in control of things, even as your romantic world keeps delivering surprises. Libras strive for balance but because people can be emotional and passionate, balance may not always be assured. Accept the mysteries of life and enjoy what you can.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

The past few months might have seen certain partnerships shift, end or ignite. But whatever you have experienced you can now put to good use even if the ground continues to shift. Find what you value in others, Scorpio, and seek connections that, while they still make be unpredictable, at least deliver you what you need.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

Sagittarians pride themselves in being in great shape. But your ability to control your overall vigor levels might have seemed a bit more stressful recently. Put your attention to what needs to be done and you will succeed. But also don’t be surprised if you need to do more than you first expect. Focus on strength and stability.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Fun may have been a bit more complicated than you first thought, Capricorn. What seemed easy to do at first could have resulted in a quagmire. But you have learned a few lessons on party planning and have a greater understanding of how to best pivot when things go awry. Who knows where this will all lead? Maybe a career path?

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Family get togethers, especially around holidays and anniversaries, might have delivered some unexpected results in the past. Last minute changes could have put a crimp in your carefully planned itinerary. But you can now rebound more effectively and deal with any surprises with aplomb and grace. It is a valuable attribute.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Even your carefully crafted messages could have been misunderstood in the recent past. This might have caused you stress and uncertainty. But you have learned a few lessons along the way, Pisces. While there still may be some communication snafus in the future, you not only can recoup your position, you could gain followers.

Mercury Retrograde

Astrologer Felissa Rose gives us her insights on the upcoming Mercury Retrograde:

For the final time in 2022 and the first time in 2023, the planet Mercury will be retrograde.   It goes retrograde on December 29 at 4:26 am EST when Mercury is at 24 minutes and 20 seconds of Capricorn.   Mercury turns direct on January 18 at 8:06 am EST with Mercury at 8 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn.

Mercury governs communication, which includes the way we think, speak, pick up information.  It’s also influenced by other planets in one’s horoscope as well, particularly if they have an astrological connection to Mercury.   For instance, one who has Mercury placed in Gemini in their horoscope, grasps information quickly.   If Mercury is in the sign of Taurus they can pick the information up but needs time to process and think it over.   This is particularly so if one is born with the planet retrograde at birth.   They are more likely to think things over before verbalizing their thoughts, ideas and opinions.

Contracts and legal agreements fall under Mercury.   So, if negotiating take time to make sure you know exactly what you need and want before signing something.  It would be better to put off the finalizing of agreements, particularly legal ones, until Mercury no longer retrograde.   Often one finds even the slightest detail that was overlooked or left out that, can make things more complicated and difficult.  Capricorn is the sign of structure and organization.   Under that sign one plans and sets things up for the long range.   Invariably if begun and started while Mercury is retrograde, it usually will need to be reassessed and even reworked, as It’s easier to miss details while Mercury is retrograde.   One’s attention is turned inward towards personal things, and though one might get the overall picture one can easily miss an important nuance.   So, take your time going over what you need to and if possible, put off signing or committing yourself until Mercury turns direct.

Capricorn rules the skeletal system, the bones and joints in the body.   This includes teeth and  if you have an annual dental appointment and feel there’s nothing wrong, it would be better to put it off until after Mercury is no longer retrograde.   I have found that despite feeling there’s no problem, the dentist usually finds something, and if he/she works on your teeth, you’re likely to have to return. 

Delays and often do overs take place while Mercury is retrograde.   Take your time in whatever you may be doing for it can save you time in the long run.   Retrograde energy is internalized so thinking about and planning whatever you need or want to do and then putting it out in the world when Mercury has turned direct would work well during the retrograde.   Many writers were born when Mercury was in retrograde.   They feel comfortable going over their thoughts and ideas and then writing them down.   Writing one’s ideas and going over them while this planet is retrograde can eventually work well.  For after Mercury is no longer retrograde try and look over again to both edit, alter and complete one’s writings.

Mercury rules all kinds of circuits, anything from electrical ones to nerves in the body.  When Mercury is making stressful connections in one’s horoscope people often get nervous and worry.  Patience helps bring clarity so try and slow down and relax.   Often during the time Mercury is retrograde there tends to be difficulty both with wires and technological equipment.   If you’re planning to buy a new computer or phone, it probably would be best to put if off until Mercury has gone direct.   Sometimes one can’t wait so make sure you have a good warranty, so whatever was bought can be replaced if not repaired.

Although communications and connections move ahead more quickly after Mercury is no longer retrograde, things clear up even more after Mercury comes to the place it went retrograde at.   Mercury comes to 24 degrees and 20 minutes of Capricorn on Feb 6^, 2023.   So, problems and delays that occurred while Mercury was retrograde should be resolved and/or at least clarified even more than after mercury went direct on January 18^th.   Mercury goes retrograde three times each year.  In 2023 this happens from April 21 to May 14, August 23 to September 15 and December 13 to January 1, 2024.   It would be good to  take advantage of times when Mercury is retrograde and use the time for introspection and deep insight.

Jolly Jupiter moves into Aries and whatever luck and pluck we have goes into overdrive. Get your good vibes in gear and plow ahead into joy. Ho, ho, ho.

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

You can take on the world and win, Aries. At least that is how you feel now that everything you have been working on suddenly takes off and goes forward. Expand your circle of influence as your natural charisma goes full steam and your ability to wrest luck from any situation is strong. Show them how grrreat you are.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

Just when you least expect, luck and promise shine through the fog. Taureans have much more going for them than they think as help from secret Santas or unexpected corners comes your way effortlessly. See how you can not only be your best person but also get the best out of others. It is a season of giving and hope. Spread it around.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

Whenever you need a little extra sunshine, friends will be there to give it to you, Gemini. They offer you greater support, confidence and company to keep the crazy holiday stresses under control.  So expand your social set by joining new clubs, organizations or groups. You can never have too many friends around, especially now.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

Your future plans are getting closer to the present, Cancer. Anything that you have been working towards, especially in your professional realm, suddenly seems closer than ever. You can expand your presence on any scene. This means that whatever you are doing, keep doing it. There is no time like now to grab for success.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

If you have been feeling like a lion stuck in a cage, the next few months will open up the door to adventure. Leos begin to feel expansive, explorative and very excited about the prospects of traveling and discovering new vistas. Allow yourself the time and opportunity to recapture the feeling of freedom and fun.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

Will there be a burst of love in your life now, Virgo? Your need for connection increases and your ability to express your emotions hits a high note. All is possible to those of you who desire it. Use this time to explore your passions and see who figures prominently in your dreams. The holidays deliver an entirely new outlook.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

Libras seek harmony and balance in their lives and now, it is possible to achieve this by strengthening certain relationships. Find ways to reconnect with those with whom you have lost touch and make other connections even stronger. Your ability to get strength from the energies of many happy partnerships is the best gift.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Scorpios have lots of extra energy this holiday season and they may also find that they can channel these energies effectively. You feel more robust and in control of your life. Manifest your innate ability to get things done. If you need help, you can even get a few colleagues to help you out. So what is on your plate? Yum.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

Sagittarians are not only in the holiday mood, they can create the mood wherever they go. Your inspiration soars. Get especially jolly and spread your good cheer into the darkest of corners. Plan some festivities and add some creative and artistic surprises. This can be a season of happy memories or at least some great times.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

This time of years is usually great for bringing family together but for you, Capricorn, it is an imperative. Find ways of connecting or reconnecting with relatives and sharing happy moments. This effort gives you greater grounding and a big appreciation for your family history. Explore experiences together and gain great understanding.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

There is something about you, Aquarius, which gets others’ attention and appreciation. I think it is your compelling style of communication as well as your overall opinions that gets others so excited and motivated. So craft your message carefully and give it some air. You never know how far it can take you and your dreams.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Expect some relief from any money stresses you have been feeling, Pisces. It seems like all of your past efforts to invest, budget and plan are starting to pan out and grow. The money seeds you have planted are beginning to sprout. Keep doing what you are doing, keep a careful eye on expenses and enjoy what Santa brings.
