#NewMoon In #Sagittarius & #Mercury #Retrograde
#Astrology By Lauren

"On Tuesday, December 12th, we have a New Moon at 20º Sagittarius 40’. Optimistic and hopeful, the New Moon feels like an opportunity to look to the future with a sense of hope and possibility. Entering the halls of Sagittarius is like coming out of a cave, and opening up a door on to a vast untrodden vista. We can go anywhere and do almost anything through the adventurous doors of Sagittarius, where the next step is truly the first step of the rest of your life. Inspired by the vastness of our prospects, the is a sign of High Hopes and Big Dreams. But no sooner do we cast our dreams into space, and then Mercury stations, beginning its retrograde phase.

It may seem that Mercury is holding us back, keeping us from moving forward with our plans. But that is not actually true. In fact, Mercury’s retrograde phase may in fact be something of an advantage. And any delays or detours may also turn out to be fortuitous in the end.

Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius, is also in its retrograde phase, which comes to its conclusion on the last days of this year. But as Mercury stations on December 12/13th, it does so with a supportive trine aspect to Jupiter and a sextile to Venus in passionate Scorpio. We are moving into the retrograde phase of Mercury with high hopes, big dreams, and a heart that is growing 3 sizes too big. Know that you are not alone. There are others here with you. And we are all traveling on this journey together.

It may feel for many that they are going into retreat with the retrograde journey of Mercury. But we are not going into retreat to avoid our dreams and our hopes and our vision for the future. We go into retreat in order to have the objectivity and strength to enter 2024 with the resolve to make our Hopes and our Big Vision a closer and more achievable reality. And whereas Jupiter ends its retrograde phase at New Year’s Eve, Mercury ends its retrograde phase on January 1st. Which seems a hopeful way to start the New Year.

Note also that the New Moon is making a square aspect to Neptune. And for much of the retrograde phase of Mercury it will also be square Neptune. We are casting our dreams into space in the face of vast uncertainties. We simply do not know what the outcomes are going to be, or where we are going to land when the dust settles and the fog lifts. And so we are being asked to take that first step into the rest of our life with the faith that we are going to be precisely where we need to be in order to fulfill our dreams. And that is true even if it does not look like it is. "...

New Moon in Sagittarius & Mercury Retrograde — Astrology By Lauren

Less than one day after the New Moon in Sagittarius on December 12th, Mercury stations for its retrograde phase which lasts until New Year’s Day. It may seem that Mercury is holding us back, keeping us from moving forward with our plans. But that...

#MERCURY #RETROGRADE | DECEMBER 2023 - TAKING A STEP BACK FROM OUR GOALS AND AMBITIONS, A DECEMBER TO REMEMBER

..."Of course, the retrograde itself will add some wonk and miscommunications - shop early! Recheck travel plans and communications, back up files - you know the drill.

Rethinking, Revising. Revisiting. Reminiscing. All, par for the course, when Mercury is retrograde.

Something else to keep in mind with Mercury's extended stay in Capricorn is that Mercury in Cappy requires sober/disciplined thinking to avoid depression. Our foray into sunny Sag will hopefully help us avoid much of this. But, keep in mind, if you find yourself reminiscing, and not in a good way, feeling lonely/feeling the winter blues - this too shall pass. Transits are called transits because they are TRANSITORY.
...
DECEMBER 13th - Mercury stations retrograde at 8 degrees Cappy (hours after the Sagittarius New Moon at 20 degrees Sagittarius)
...
So by JANUARY 27TH - all planets are direct, Pluto is back in Aquarius, the future is reaching back to pull us forward and ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO

Note - this 'all systems are go' thing doesn't mean we can sit on the sidelines until the end of January. We have to work the process of these retrogrades in order to be in the right place at the right time - and in the right frame of mind - at the end/beginning of all this.
...
This Mercury Retrograde is a GIFT - we are going from Sagittarius hope and optimism to Capricorn realism and then back to the hope/optimism to iron out a few things/regroup, maybe remember what we were all fired up about in the first place (!) and then finally back to the Cappy realism - with renewed enthusiasm and vigor.

Think - yes, to extended planning and negotiation. No - to contracts and singing on the dotted line (if possible, sometimes it won't be and then you will need to know there will be revisions) until mid January. "...
