Mercurial - /mərˈkyo͝orēəl/ adjective subject to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind. Synonyms: volatile capricious temperamental excitable fickle changeable It’s going to be a Mercurial kind of week, y’all. Mercury is busy and enters its shadow phase this week. Mercury will retrograde in Capricorn from December 29 until January 19th. We will begin 2023 in Mercury retrograde AND 2024. This month’s retrograde will usher in Mercury retrograding in earth signs until 2024. So starting this week, pay attention to what is happening for you around career, ambition, and public life. Things may get bumpy with authority figures or your social media presence, and other things that put you in the public eye. Obviously Capricorns and the other earth signs could feel this the most, as well as the other Cardinal signs of Libra, Aries, and Cancer. But honestly, generally Mercury retrogrades touch everyone to some degree. This week Mercury also forms awkward quincunxes with Mars and ...

Alright, let me just jump into this. This week we have Mercury and Venus operating in tandem, like the Wonder Twins, not to mention a full moon in Gemini, sign of the twins! Wonder Twins, form of a Capricorn! Both Mercury and Venus move into Capricorn this week , and then both Mercury and Venus oppose the asteroid Chaos. Mercury and Venus will be at 0 degrees of Capricorn, and Chaos at 0 degrees of Cancer. 0 degrees of a sign is strong, undiluted energy of that sign. Keeping with our Wonder Twins them…let’s imagine Chaos at 0 degrees of Cancer is our villain (it isn’t a villain, just go with it for now). Chaos stands at the entrance to Cancer-land holding alllll of the feelings and intuition and memories in his grasp. “Mwuahahaha! I have all of the feelings! I will use them for my own Chaotic purposes! Mwuahahaha!” However, Chaos has met his match with the 0 degree Capricorn Twins! No one can organize like a Cap under pressure! No one can keep a Capricorn Venus from what she desires...

Hey glittery souls! (I know you all know I love glitter. But I saw a poster this week that said “cat hair is my glitter” and I obviously had to get it. My soul is surely at least partially made of cat hair!) I simply cannot believe that we are entering the last month of the year! It seems like I just flipped my calendar over to October! June through September are just hot and super annoying where I live, and those months drag on endlessly. I seriously get seasonal affective disorder in the summer the way snowbound and PNW people get it in the winter. So I wish this time of year went a bit slower, but no one is taking my requests so…here we are. December doesn’t have any hold-on-to-your-ass transits. We do have a mercury retrograde at the end of the month, but I hope we are all mostly at the point of feeling like that is just like an inconvenience…like starting your period while you’re on your Hawaiian vacation. Sometimes things get undone, but intellectually we know these are cour...
