Welcome to the last month of 2023 – it’s time to start refining your Christmas list, New Year’s resolutions, and prepare for this year’s final mercury retrograde.
This year’s season finale is here, astro cuties. As 2023 comes to a close, it’s time to start transitioning from free-wheeling Sagittarius season to Capricorn’s grounded & reflective energies. As if the holiday season couldn’t get any more stressful, the stars are making sure we squeeze in one last Mercury retrograde. This may throw some wrenches in your holiday plans, but don’t worry, you’ll still get end the year with a steamy kiss at midnight.
Must-Save Dates:
December 12: New moon in Sagittarius
December 13: Mercury retrograde begins
December 21: Sun enters Capricorn
December 26: Full moon in Cancer + Chiron Direct
What to Expect from December’s Mercury Retrograde:
As we know, when a planet enters retrograde, it starts to orbit backward. Because Mercury is doing the planetary moonwalk this month, we can expect some hitches in our holiday travel plans (think delays, missed connections, etc). The key to staying ahead of the madness? Plan, plan, plan! Give yourself time for unexpected detours, but more importantly, don’t stress! We promise your holiday will still be filled with glitter, champagne, a fireworky NYE kiss, and gifts galore.
Let’s be honest, all we want for Christmas is someone to do our holiday shopping for us. That’s where we come in—looking for the perfect gift for your BFFs, loved ones, or partners? Check out this season’s hottest gifts below, perfect for him, her, or YOU (go ahead, treat yourself).
