There’s a bittersweet wistfulness associated with stepping through December’s door. Last Christmas, things were up and running already, sure. However, it still had an undertone of ‘testing the vibes’, so to speak. We were taking our first baby steps into a post-pandemic world; The pain of the crisis had passed, but its ghost loomed like a heavy cloud, waiting to break down and pour grief back to us the very moment we felt safe enough to bring our umbrellas down.
The atmosphere is different now, dear reader. This time around, joy feels like it’s planted in solid ground; the air is festive once more, and for the first time in a while, it really does feel like Christmas is finally, completely, back to normal! We are in good cheer; face shields and facemasks feel like a distant memory, almost a fever dream. There is happiness once more, and we are hopeful enough to think it may even last!
On the other hand, there is an acute sense of time passing, much faster than it really should. The days always drag so long, but the years are unbearably short. December’s energy lets us sift through our experiences once more, almost like looking through a photo album of the recent past. This may seem emotionally taxing, but it’s human nature to always look back, isn’t it? We all are, with no exceptions, metaphorically anchored to our memories, some more than most. And towards this last home stretch before we truly leave 2023 behind, we sort through everything, an elimination process almost, as we mentally choose moments that we retain, and those we discard.
The year that passed went to so many lengths just to introduce us to ourselves once more, after losing years hiding behind impressions that were not accurate representations of who we really are, in our purest essence. This month opens us up energetically, facilitating this reflective contemplation. Who am I, and what am I vulnerable to? These are questions we may need to ruminate on. And, as always, we turn to the sky to give us clues.
MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE IN CAPRICORN
The highlight of the month: Mercury turns retrograde in Capricorn, dear reader, a sign that represents structure, responsibility, and reality! Caution is invaluable, especially during busy holiday periods when everyone is hurrying off somewhere to prepare something for someone. Double payments, double purchases, or misunderstanding what you buy may be rampant for the careless. Mercury retrograde periods, if left unchecked, often bring energies of urgency, leading to rushing that eventually leads to unnecessary chaos. This one is no exception, dear reader, so make sure you don’t get caught in the gridlock! Let rush hour sort its way out, before you add yourself to the mix.
Retrograde periods are also known to bring past situations to center stage, and we may find ourselves lost in thought, thinking of people that we miss, or chances that we missed. Emotions may be more heightened, especially during the second half of the month, when a backward-moving Mercury eventually crosses paths with the Sun and with Mars, two planets that represent ego and will. The energy created is exciting, dynamic, and intellectually stimulating. We experience a strong need to communicate and connect wherever these conjunctions fall in our charts, but too much assertion for connection may likely yield the opposite result!
For specific details on how this month’s Cosmic Weather may affect you, you will need your exact birth time, birthplace, and a competent astrologer who can compute and interpret your charts. However, knowing the general energies at play can greatly assist in planning ahead.
