Weekly Forecast: December 10 – 16, 2023, Kelly M. Beard, 12 December 2023

​12/11  ::  Mercury (thoughts) ~sextile~ Venus (art & beauty):

This moment presents a great opportunity to beautify your ideas and clarify your thoughts, refining and enriching them to resonate more authentically with your unique essence. Relationships tend to bask in ease and harmonious communication under this influential energy. It gently directs your focus toward emotions, inspiring feelings of love and beauty which infuses your thoughts and ideas. It is a delicious phase to delve deeply into your creativity or engage in activities that awaken your Inner Artist. You can opt for a light-hearted approach and momentarily release the weight of the usual burdens. Pleasure-seeking through activities like reading, strolling along the beach, enjoying a play, or exploring a museum would enrich your week, if possible.

12/12  ::  SAGITTARIUS New Moon:

The Sagittarius New Moon energy supports a New Vision as we navigate the cusp between the Old Year and the New Year. Opportunities will be presented and you will find out how you are evolving by the choices & commitments you make going forward. No longer can we agree to terms which hold no meaning or value for the individual or the community. The Global Family has expanded, our consciousness has evolved and the vibratory frequency of the planet has increased considerably. Building constructs to support a more balanced existence THIS lifetime will require time, energy and resources to birth in our 3D/reality. On the other hand, the *invisible* (thought/feeling) ALWAYS precedes the *visible* results (form). And Sagittarius is all about what you BELIEVE before you even have a clue what you want to or are capable of building in Capricorn.

This Sag New Moon brings a potent *seed* point. Scorpio always brings personal rebirth & permanent transformation, which leads to a totally new Sag Truth, which leads to a newly reborn Capricorn Reality. I encourage you to always see Truth as *fluid* and Reality as *co-creative & malleable* and thus, they both change & shift according to what other energies & entities are involved. Stepping into 2024, ask your Self … Where are you/we headed? If you happen to have Sagittarius/Gemini and-or Pisces/Virgo activated in your chart, then this is a huge New Beginning for you personally (or in those Houses/Areas of Life for the rest of us).

12/12  ::  Mercury Retro in CAPRICORN (until 1.1.2024):

During Mercury’s Retrograde in Capricorn, it invites us to revisit the basic essentials of life: our homes, work, and the delicate equilibrium between self and others. This period calls for introspection into our decisions, commitments, and the mindset that we held when making them in the last 3-months. It beckons us to assess the value, strength and sustainability of our ideas, thoughts, and concepts. As Mercury embarks on its Retrograde journey this week, it encourages us to reassess and refine our thinking regarding our choices and commitments. This introspective time serves as a preparatory phase, allowing us to stride forward into the new year with a revitalized sense of integrity within and trust in an expanded vision. It is an opportunity to confidently embrace, embody & express a New Narrative, one grounded in personal integrity that activates creative longevity and an enduring legacy, if that is what you are creating at this time.

12/16  ::  Sun (core essential Self) ~square~ Neptune (illusions & delusions):

This cosmic influence might stir feelings of self-doubt, self-delusion, and a general sense of confusion, seemingly originating from within or directed toward oneself. However, it is essential to recognize that this energy is transient & temporary; it serves as the Universe’s gentle nudge to slow down and reassess whether your aspirations might have been unrealistic or born from fleeting fantasies. When your energy feels depleted, and your optimism wanes, it is wise to pause, take a break, and prioritize rest & rejuvenation if possible. Above all, refrain from initiating grand plans during this phase, as perception might be clouded, preventing a clear view of reality. Fortunately, this influence is short-lived, offering relief in its brevity.
