We may be called to cut through a polite or confused haze, and be ruthlessly but not brutally honest, to bear witness to what we do not like or truly believe. Political protest could be as prevalent as evergreen boughs, ourcynical streak shines like holiday garland. Let the inner scrooge have its say;just know that cynicism and other strongly-tinted feelings can distort our understanding
as Mercury semi-squares Neptune.

Uncertain or confusing conditions can obfuscate our plans and call for adjustment, so keep eyes on the radar. Watch out for bad weather, traffic jams, a scam or theft among the truly scrooge-like. This Scorpio mood improves with some time alone, so consider skipping the holiday parties and taking a few moments’ private retreat to reenter and recollect. The mistletoe mood returns during the week ahead.

Early next week the planets ask what needs to change; it could be fun, but it’s probably more than a light bulb on the Solstice bush as the Sun squares Uranus and sextiles Jupiter and Neptune. Just think it through and assess what needs a temporary change versus what needs a permanent fix. A direct, breezy New Moon in Sagittarius breaks us out of our shell and adds holiday spirit; it also makes freed speech a necessity or compulsion, but we have to add the capacity to listen.

Midweek brings in an earthy, healthy note as Venus trines Mars in fire signs under a competent Capricorn Moon; the vibe is cooperative and determined, pushy, flirtatious and impassioned. Be ready for some serious fights over the sales bins. It’s a good time to break into new territory and connect with new people, but we’re resistant, even rebellious to any sense of feeling controlled. Personal and political autonomy and self-determination will take center stage, and controlling relationships will feel the heat. But if we have a new adventure of our own, let’s practice that self-determination and step forward.

more for each day.
