Wednesday, DECEMBER 29

Mercury aligns with retrograde Venus early today, and it will meet with Pluto early tomorrow. A useful discussion or examination of the past may be in focus. There’s a tendency to analyze relationships and feelings, mainly related to past connections. While this gives us a new perspective on old issues and problems, we still don’t have the complete picture. As well, with Pluto in play, we might be too insistent on getting information, but our hearts may not be ready for it.

A Sun-Chiron square this evening can undermine our confidence temporarily, but we’re ready and willing to put in the work for something important to us with a Mars-Saturn sextile. The Sun-Chiron transit can stir up insecurity or uncertainty about our direction, convictions, or purpose. On the other hand, the Mars-Saturn transit helps us with self-discipline and moderation. We tend to favor traditional methods and work toward modest ambitions. It’s a good time to temper our energy, pace ourselves productively, and get organized.

The Moon spends the day in Scorpio, inclining us to scope out the hidden layers of our lives.
