Virgo

December 2023

;Welcome to Sagittarius season when the holiday spirit surrounds us all. The only dampers on this lovely energy is the fact that Mercury (your ruling planet) is in retrograde motion for the whole month, limiting your desires for repairing problems; especially around your home base, and Neptune is back in direct motion, in the area that represents your significant other(s) in your life; who may need you to figure things out for them more than ever! Dear Virgo, you just want to be yourself without too many distractions from others around you. You don't mind helping people, especially those you love, but feeling overwhelmed by other's issues is not on your agenda this month. Instead of saying, "Yes I can help you, I'll be there right away!" you're more apt so say, "Well how do you think that you can handle the situation for yourself? I know you can do it! Good luck!" You're ready to give yourself a healthy mental retreat away from the emotional dramas that people can often bring into your life. You're wanting to celebrate other's accomplishments, when they figure things out correctly for themselves, instead of being the one who willingly chooses to do things for them. Good for you Virgo! You can choose to assist when the timing is right and you can also choose to retreat when you know others can figure things out. You're not being lazy, instead you're actually being truer to who you really are. You can set a good example for others with how you choose to live your life and they can then follow that example. Your main focus this month is on creating a comfortable environment for yourself, taking good care of your personal health, and on creating an attitude of celebration that you can share with those you love. In other words you are choosing to live smarter and not work harder. You can take your time, all of the time you need, to get anything accomplished; and if you're in the mood to not accomplish much of anything that's just fine too. From the 13th through the 23rd Mercury will be retrograde in the sign of Capricorn; which may bring some challenges in regards to your love life, creative projects, and with children (yours or others). Slow down, take it easy. Think twice before you volunteer for anything. You may start a project with optimism, only to set that project down and return to it once Mercury moves back into direct motion starting on January 1st 2024. You're not one to start a project and not finish it, but it's Mercury retrograde season so you don't have to DO anything unless you really want to. Simplicity is the key word for you this month. You may find that time flies by really fast, but that's okay, just do what you can and know that's plenty good enough. The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives on Tuesday December 12th, at 6:32 pm ET; giving you a creative fresh start in regards to your home and with your family. You will receive assistance in these areas of your life; if there are any challenges and/or anything gets broken. With an attitude of gratitude you will appreciate those who help you most. You've done so much for others throughout your life. Now comes a time when others desire to help you now. On December 23rd Mercury will move back into the sign of Sagittarius which can help you feel more spiritually tuned into the holiday celebrations. The good fortune you seek comes to you when you allow yourself to be patient with yourself (and others). Put your feelings of resistance away...go with the flow...everything will be okay. You may expect more from yourself, but why? Don't you deserve to rest and relax too once in awhile? This is your month to take it easy, even when you are involved in lots of activities. The Full Moon arrives on Tuesday December 26th in it's natural sign of Cancer - bringing sentimental feelings to the surface. You can look back upon your year and see where, what, why, and when situations happened as they did. Everything was in Synchronicity; although it may not have felt like it at the time. Once you understand what you've experienced and what you've learned over the past 12 months then you will be ready to focus forward on what your future hopes, dreams, wishes and goals truly are! You can ring in the New Year of 2024 with a much happier attitude then you've had before. Stay optimistic!
