The Week in Review

December 11-17, 2023

This is a week for dreaming a new dream. We are coming close to the end of the year and 2024 is in view. We have a lovely new moon in Sagittarius on Tuesday, December 12th at 6:32pm EST. It begins a new cycle, and in Sagittarius, invites us to think big, to be adventurous, and brave enough to seek out our heart’s desire. It is a great moon for intention setting, vision boarding, and planning for the future. The first of the week around this new moon will also bring a renewed faith, optimism, and a hopefulness that everything will work out.

The only hitch is that on Tuesday, Mercury stations retrograde. For the next three weeks it brings delays, reworking plans, renegotiations, and reimagining how we might do things differently. Patience will be required! But if you can hold the line and maintain your composure during communication or transportation snafus – you can still use the energy to think through your next move. Just don’t necessarily act on it yet. On January 1st, when Mercury stations direct, there will be plenty of “forward motion” energy to help you solidify your plans and begin your next adventure.

The week also brings an opportunity to unify, heal, and bring forgiveness to situations that have hurt and wounded. Estranged family may find reconciliation, or old friends could reunite. There must be a willingness to do the work, as accepting the offered olive branch may be hard for some to do. Support is there to make relationships better so watch where you can give others the benefit of the doubt and notice where allowances are being made for you too.

And…here’s what’s happening for your zodiac sign:

Wherever you are, find your flow with your horoscope this week. You can use your Ascendant or Sun Sign to start, but check in with your Mars, Venus, or Moon sign – as they may offer additional clues that may be helpful to you.

Aries

You may have travel plans, taking a class or learning something new on your mind at the start of the week. It’s a fine time to think about a new adventure, just not the wisest time to act. Success in work is on your mind, attainable, and you have great focus and efficiency right now! Someone in your circle has a hair-brained idea as we head into this weekend. Genius or crazy? Maybe both. Consider all your options before committing.

Taurus

You’ve been a little more worried or high strung than usual. Lean into creature comforts and share your feelings in intimate relationships to get some relief. Things settle and start to look up by mid-week. Notice where optimism shines through and give yourself some room to roam off course. The weekend has you out on the town and in the spotlight. You may find yourself in disagreement or feeling stubborn about a viewpoint. You might not have all the facts. See where both parties can meet halfway.

Gemini

Are you feeling bored, frustrated, or disappointed in relationship right now? Use the new moon to wish for discernment and you may find a new focal point. Give yourself some freedom to observe what’s happening and try to see where they’re putting in effort. Maybe you need some additional stimulation, or perhaps a little fun to freshen things up? Go deep and list all the reasons you love and cherish this person and then ask them to do the same. Reconciliation and heart-to-hearts are possible. Remember that telling the truth is the best policy.

Cancer

Things are looking up for your daily routines, health, and work this week. Optimism is on tap, and you’ve got a can-do attitude as you wrap things up for the year. That’s great, but on the emotional front there’s a fly in the soup. Hurt feelings, either yours or someone close, keep coming up. There’s no way but through for this one. Forgiveness, compassion, and the ability to let it go may be asked of you. Dig deep, you can do this, and honestly, you’ll feel so much better by moving on.

Leo

It’s the season of lights and you’ve got your party shoes on. A new adventure is on the horizon but there’s work to do first. What do you need to finish by the end of the year? Stay focused and you’ll be so proud of yourself as this is a week of “getting it done” for you. The weekend will have you with that someone special, but maybe not in the way you hoped. Stubborn stances and egos can get in the way. Lean into forgiveness and lead with an open heart.

Virgo

You’ve been spending time in your robe and slippers lately, but it’s time to get dressed, and go out and play. Find a creative pursuit or something that feels like fun to fill up your week. You’ll tackle any organizational tasks with efficiency and time to spare. Maybe a trip to the craft store to buy new yarn to knit those socks, decorating for the holidays, or baking cookies for co-workers. You can “whistle while you work” and use the fruits of your labor for gifting to others. This weekend, dreaming up a new routine that can better support your health and wellness will be on tap.

Libra

You’ve been as busy as a bee, shopping and getting things ready for the holidays. This week asks you to slow down a bit and focus on family. There’s some fences that need mending and you’re the person for the job. Your ability to play peacemaker will be needed this week. Stay hopeful and positive as you are the balance that everyone seeks. This weekend the world is your oyster. So shop til’ you drop or socialize to your heart’s content.

Scorpio

The new moon finds you accounting for all your resources and holdings. Make a wish and then make a serious plan for increasing your savings and wealth in the new year. This is a productive week for you, and you’ll be able to do all the things: crossing all the Ts and dotting the Is. Family will be the focus for the weekend. Someone is unhappy you may have to help untangle some knots. Confusion and delays keep getting in the way. Be patient as you will get to the bottom of things. It’s either that or stay inside for a few days. Finding a sweet escape can be a good distraction until the dust clears for all parties.  

Sagittarius

You’re flying high and feeling good. The new moon is asking you to dream a new version of you, 2.0. Make your dream board and set an intention. Mid-week will have you focused on your finances and the upcoming holidays. Maybe you’ll get a bonus you weren’t expecting. But there could be some unexpected expenses. Being frugal with money right now will serve you best later. Keep your adventures local or online to reap the biggest savings.

Capricorn

Maybe you’ve been a little down or all in your head recently? This week the clouds will start to part, and things will clear. The changes you’ve been making on yourself are starting to show and its good. You are known for your excellent taste and sense of style. You will get a chance to show it off this week, whether through dress, decoration, or gifting. You are super resourceful, and that talent will be needed this weekend. A focus on money is imminent and ways to make extra cash for Christmas shopping necessary.

Aquarius

Did you join a new group, gym, or social circle recently? Or maybe you’re thinking to. Do it. Your instinct is right on and it will be a positive connection. Midweek may have you feeling a little overwhelmed. You’re trying to solve a problem and the answers aren’t clear cut. Use your powers of observation, separation, and discernment to get to the bottom of things. The weekend is for some much-needed R & R. Be bold, be brave, and lean into the unusual.

Pisces

The world of work is on your mind this week – you’re either being rewarded for a job well done or alternately, you’re thinking it’s time to make a move. Either an internal move or something brand new. Dip your toe in the water and start brushing up your resume and/or looking at job postings. You have to put yourself out there if you want to make waves. Getting things in order and creating a plan for the future will help you the most right now. Making a vision board and letting your intuition guide you will help you to find your equilibrium.
