December has arrived and with it the holiday season kicks into high gear. But amid the festive cheer, Mercury retrograde is still causing cosmic chaos (those holiday travel plans may need some adjustments!), making this the perfect time to embrace the energy of The Fool. Adding to the cosmic mix, Mars retrograde urges us to slow down and reconsider our approach to goals and challenges. This is where The Fool excels: he encourages us to let go of rigid expectations, take bold leaps, and trust the universe to show us the way. Remember, the best stories often come from the twists we didn’t plan.
Important things to remember this week:
- Stay flexible: Mercury retrograde is still up to its tricks, so expect plans to shift. Adapt, breathe and laugh at the chaos.
- Embrace spontaneity: The Fool encourages you to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. This is a time for adventure and embracing the unknown.
Here’s how the week unfolds The Empress as our guide:
Monday-Wednesday:
- Embrace the detours: As Mercury retrograde continues to weave its mischievous magic, expect delays, miscommunication, and a few unexpected twists. But instead of getting frustrated, try to see these detours as opportunities for adventure and discovery.
Thursday-Friday:
- Stay grounded in reality: While the Sun squares Neptune, illusions can cloud your vision. The Fool reminds you to keep your feet on the ground as you explore new ideas. Be open to perspectives, but keep it real.
Weekend:
- Reassess your bold moves: With Mars turning retrograde in Leo on Friday, the urge for bold action may wane, encouraging you to rethink how you stand up for yourself and pursue your passions. This is not the time to force progress, but to realign with your true desires and recharge your energy.
- Navigate the social scene mindfully: Festive gatherings can test your patience, as Mars retrograde can cause frustration or drama. Use The Fool’s playful energy to stay light-hearted and focus on meaningful connections without taking things too seriously. Flexibility is your best ally.
