These final two weeks of 2022 will feel like an invitation to choose ease and simplicity, Scorpio. We are officially in Mercury Retrograde’s pre-shadow period (the final Mercury Retrograde of the year begins Dec 29, in the sign of Capricorn, and lasts until January 18, 2023). This means it’s best to chill out and focus on life’s simple pleasures rather than overcomplicate your life with huge end-of-year missions or even with new year’s resolutions.
Mars, our planetary ruler, is also retrograde until early January, and the final degrees of Mars Retrograde tend to be the most intense, because the Universe wants to make sure we end this year and start a new one with the awareness of what our unhealthy past patterns are, and with the courage to choose differently. This may be easier said than done though, especially since Uranus, the Planet of Change, is also retrograde right now, in the sign of Taurus. Part of us wants to choose differently for ourselves and our relationships, and another part of us may be okay with what feels safe, and familiar, even if it actually isn’t good for us down the line.
Use the final two days of Sag Season on Monday and Tuesday to invite more adventure and spontaneity into your life, especially if Mercury and Venus’ current positions in Capricorn have led to you thinking too seriously and saying no to fun. Play hooky from work, take your time turning in assignments, choose to be rebellious, for the sake of it. Your money sector is activated by Sag energy, so as long as you don’t go too wild, you may want to celebrate the end of this season by treating yourself (or a loved one) to something you’ve been wanting for a while. Sag Season wants you to adopt the mantra “money comes, money goes, money flows right back to me”. If you’ve been too stingy due to Mercury and Venus’ presence in Capricorn, the final few days of the Sun in Sag will remind you to lighten up, spread the wealth, and believe in your divinely abundant, magnetic nature. There’s SO much more where the wealth came from.
Tuesday the 20th is a monumental day, as Jupiter, the Planet of Abundance, bids adieu to Pisces (it won’t be back in its home sign of Pisces for 12 years!), and re-enters the sign of Aries, where it’ll remain until May 2023. Read your 2023 POPSUGAR horoscopes written by me for more insights on what this monumental transit means for us. This will feel like a cosmic wake-up call, especially if you’ve been daydreaming or floating through life. You’ll feel like a star athlete who’s training for the ultimate competition, and you’ll feel more narrow-mindedly focused on your journey during Jupiter’s transit through Aries, especially since it’ll activate your sector of routine, work, health, and wellness. The more you commit to taking care of yourself, inside and out, the more the Universe will commit to taking care of you, Scorpio.
This week, decide what self-care regimen you’re ready to stick to. You don’t have to wait until 2023 begins to do so. Even showing up to your yoga mat and stretching for 15 minutes each day can make a significant difference in your wellness journey, as can drinking more water, going to bed earlier, going for walks in nature, and minimizing your tech use. Aries energy tends to be fiery and passionate, so the best way to flow through this transit is to pace yourself instead of racing to the finish line.
On Dec 21, the final equinox of the year begins and the seasons change as Capricorn Season begins. You’ll feel deeply reflective and self-assured on Wednesday and Thursday. Even if you still have more ambitions to reach, avoid pressuring yourself to be perfect this Capricorn Season. Communicate with yourself the way you’d want your best friend to communicate with you. Romantically, Capricorn Season helps you weed out distractions in your dating life, including the times you create drama simply because you’re bored. You must learn to find peace in the boring moments of your life — especially when someone is treating you well and there’s no reason to suspect otherwise.
This can be a great season for expressing your needs romantically without getting caught up in your feelings. You just clearly let people know what it is what you need and what it is that you have the capacity to provide, and they’ll find your transparency and direct communication to be refreshing, and they’ll likely do the same. Take advantage of this period of clarity this week though, because once Mercury shifts retrograde on the 29th in your communication sector, you may not be as open-hearted… You may actually dip into hermit mode, leaving everyone wondering what happened.
If you’d like more insights on how to maximize your potential in love, and in life, read my new book, Signs & Skymates!
