Then, the December 7 Gemini full moon will make an exact alignment, demanding that we clear the air. Heap on the diplomacy and patience, which could be in short supply. That trademark Sagittarius season honesty, normally a refreshing burst of candor, could veer toward the brutal side. While you can’t avoid certain conversations, take extra care to keep them from getting contentious. This energy crescendos on December 3, when soulful Neptune ends a five-month retrograde through Pisces. Could caring about our fellow humans make a comeback in some small way before the year is over? Our hope is: Yes! Prior to Neptune’s mid-19th-century discovery, Jupiter was considered the ruler of Pisces (and by those who follow a Hellenistic astrology system, still is). Either way, we’ve been experiencing the ultra-rare convergence of both of Pisces’ planetary guardians united in their home sign. To give you an idea of how special this overlap is, Jupiter only visits Pisces every 12 years, and Neptune takes over 150 years between visits. Is seeing believing…or is believing seeing? With supersizer Jupiter and manifester Neptune united in supernatural Pisces, what we visualize in our minds can take real form in the outer world. Stay in a high-vibration state as much as possible, and don’t allow yourself to get dragged into the depths of someone else’s anger, fear, or control. That’s their nightmare—but it doesn’t have to be yours. Historically, Jupiter in Aries periods have been marked by friction. World War I and II both started during these cycles. This round has been filled with plenty of global unrest, mainly centered in Ukraine but happening around the world. Here’s hoping that the wisdom of Jupiter will help temper the irrational flames that can be fanned by Aries energy. We’re cautiously optimistic since this December 28, the U.S. will experience another round of its 2022 Pluto return, which first occurred on February 20 (short-handed to 2-22-22). The karmic planet revisits the exact degree of Capricorn that it was at when the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, and the nation was founded. What else is in store for NYE? If you can get around Mercury retrograde’s mischief-making with your plans, a stabilizing and sensual Taurus moon will bejewel the skies. This could be the dose of grounding energy we didn’t know we needed, especially not with New Year’s parties back on. But as pragmatic as Taurus is, this zodiac sign is ruled by party-loving Venus, the planet of luxury and earthly delights. Don’t skimp on the tasteful touches and artful presentation. Swathe yourself in something beautiful and serve up the palate-pleasuring buffet. (An Instagram-worthy charcuterie board with edible flowers and those long “moon drop” grapes is totally worth your time…we swear.) Another signature cocktail, anyone? Make time for a ritual if you can, since magnetic Venus will commune with deep-diving Pluto in ambitious Capricorn tonight. Hosting a party? You might want to set up a table with vision board supplies (magazines, scissors, paper, glue sticks) for guests to use throughout the night. Time has a way of moving reaaaallly slow on NYE between 8 and 11 p.m., so an activity area is never a bad idea. If you don’t want to get quite that elaborate, make time to write down your wishes for 2023, as the universe is keenly tuning in. Read the monthly horoscope for your sign here.
