Happy holidays, everyone! T'is the season to romanticize the colder weather ahead, and I've personally never been so excited to fa-la-la-llllll asleep to A Charlie Brown Christmas on the TV. As the year winds down and we prepare to ring in the New Year, the cosmos have some restorative plans in place for us. With Mars retrograde on the 6th prompting reflection, Neptune direct in Pisces on the 7th bringing emotional clarity, and the Capricorn New Moon on the 30th offering us opportunities for a fresh start, we are all being set up for success in the New Year. Wondering how the planets are impacting you this month? Keep reading and, as always, keep listening!
Sagittarius
Happy birthday, Sagittarius! After a whirlwind year, the cosmos are giving you a well-deserved break for your solar return. When Mercury goes direct on the 15th, you'll notice a smoother flow in personal communications. With newfound clarity in your goals and values, you'll find it easier to express yourself authentically– so no need to worry about your text-tone getting lost in translation! In perfect timing, the Full Moon in the social sign of Gemini (also on the 15th!) highlights your partnerships and collaborations. This is a beautiful time to strengthen bonds with loved ones and explore fresh connections. Being the most adventurous of the fire signs (don’t tell Leo or Aries I said that…), lean into the season’s social energy by saying yes to that coffee date or shaking things up with a shared new experience. You know more than anyone that little spontaneity goes a long way! As we say goodbye to your birthday season towards the end of the month and the Sun moves into Capricorn, our focus will naturally turn toward planning, particularly when it comes to finances. The holidays can be tough on the wallet, and while your generous spirit loves to give, don’t forget that budgeting is an act of self-care. As the month ends, prioritize giving yourself the gift of stability and self-love—you deserve it.

But while you’re busy mapping out your journey, don’t forget to leave space for life’s surprises. Life’s beauty lies in accepting what you can’t control and enjoying the ride! You’re more than ready for what’s ahead!
