I’m posting this out a bit earlier than usual so you have a heads up about the upcoming Mercury retrograde. We’re already in the retro shadow (if you haven’t noticed!) – I’ve found myself on 3 separate occasions in the last few days having to turn round and go back for something I’d forgotten … 😀 gotta see the cosmic joke!  So get your travel plans and your major Christmas purchases finalised as soon as you can, well before Mercury actually goes retro.  You’ll see below that Mercury turns retro on the day of the New Moon, 13 Dec.  If you’re in my Astro*Travels group on Facebook, you’ll have seen my posts about this and hopefully you’re on top of it!

After the muted start to Sagittarius season, we can fully embrace Sagittarian energy at the New Moon in Sagittarius on Wed 13 Dec.  This represents an opportunity to begin a new cycle in your life that’s adventurous, enthusiastically exploring new frontiers, feeling the need to enjoy life to the full.  It is a perfect time to start on a spiritual quest, a course of study or overseas travel – anything that expands your horizons. The travel can of course be internal – a spiritual journey, to the truth of who you are.

Sagittarius is a Fire sign, warm and enthusiastic, naturally optimistic and with an undying trust in the Universe.  Sagittarians love to explore and go on adventures, not just for the fun of it, but because they’re also motivated by a quest to discover the Meaning of Life. Their sign is ruled by confident Jupiter, in a supportive aspect to the New Moon, which increases the trademark Sagittarian boundless enthusiasm and confidence.  On the downside (every sign has its downside), Sagittarians can have a tendency to go over the top, taking risks through being over-confident, and then over-extending themselves, not knowing when or where to stop. Keep an eye on your finances!

Find where this New Moon falls in your chart at 20 degrees Sagittarius and tune into the new departure that could be starting for you now.  The house placement will show you which part of your life is most affected.

If your birthday is close to this New Moon (within a day either side), this marks the beginning of a significant new cycle in your life in terms of your identity and your sense of purpose.

If you have a planet at 20 degrees of Sagittarius, this marks the beginning of a new cycle in whatever that planet symbolizes (eg relationships for Venus).

Set your New Moon intentions within 24 hours of the New Moon, exact at 9.32am AEST (Queensland time).

On the same day as the New Moon, Mercury turns retrograde and will be up to its usual tricks, scrambling communications so don’t be surprised if you end up with double-bookings, missed bookings, messages not getting through, needing to return purchases – and increased chances of delayed flights.

During any Mercury retro period, it pays to double-check everything. Check those reservations. Keep those receipts safe. Check that those messages actually got through, especially if you haven’t heard back.  Check you have your keys with you when you leave the house.  Take a book with you to the airport and be prepared for delays – that way you won’t fry if it actually happens, and can be pleasantly surprised if all goes smoothly.  Patience will help tremendously.

Mercury is retro for 3 weeks from 13 Dec to 2 Jan 2024.
