Don’t be surprised, especially if you purchase gifts during the Mercury retrograde, that they are either exchanged or returned. Try not to be upset about this.
The New Moon in Sagittarius was fun even with the Mercury retrograde, which was easy to ignore. It’s best, though, not to ignore it too much or a lot of cleaning up after the retrograde is over will be fruitless. Once the words go out there, there out there and come back to haunt.
Venus is now in Capricorn, squaring Uranus and Pluto. Little Lady Venus does not like to be in Capricorn because of the seriousness of Capricorn and the call to duty and work. Venus says ‘Yuck!’ to that. But there’s also the square to Saturn that throws the sand on Venus’ desires and says, ‘get to work.’ Venus will make it through OK but the seriousness of Capricorn will not be making many happy revelers for this holiday season … but, remember, inside every planet that’s in staid and stogy Capricorn, is a child screaming to be let out and wants to join the party. If you’re planning parties, go for it. Seriousness needs to be put on the back burner sometimes.
Brace yourself for the upcoming Full Moon Eclipse coming up the weekend of 9 December.
