Friday, DECEMBER 1

Mercury enters Capricorn today. Our thinking is systematic, and our focus is sober and practical while Mercury transits the sign until December 23rd. It’s easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles are more logical, orderly, and organized. We’re able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes most valuable to us. We should be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking and coming across as cold or harsh during this cycle.

Note that Mercury will turn retrograde on December 13th and return to Sagittarius on the 23rd. Mercury will return to Capricorn on January 13th, 2024.

The Moon continues its transit of Cancer today until 11:01 AM EST, when it moves into Leo. The Leo Moon is bold and expressive, and its trine to Mars tonight is enthusiastic.

The Moon is void from 8:07 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Pluto), until the Moon enters Leo at 11:01 AM EST.
