Horoscopes Dec. 15-21

Overview

This week heralds several pivotal planetary transits, commencing with a full moon in Gemini early on Dec. 15. This full moon is particularly significant as it coincides with Mercury's shift back to direct motion, marking the end of its retrograde phase. Given that Mercury rules Gemini, this alignment strongly impacts and enhances our communication and cognitive abilities. The insights gained during the previous moon phase will become clearer, offering fresh perspectives and innovative ideas for moving forward. Later in the week, on Dec. 21, we enter Capricorn season. We can make the most of this period by applying the lessons learned during the Mercury retrograde and previous moon phase to practical endeavours that will propel us toward achieving our goals.
