Things are bustling. In the background of this holiday season, there is a feeling of energy and adventure, thanks to the conjunction of the Sun and Mars. It will make some of us feel like embracing holiday festivities, but others may have the urge to skip out on the holidays and fly to someplace warm. My Aquarian self is in the “others” category.
Regardless of where you’re spending this time of year, it’s sure to be filled with deep and meaningful connections with friends both old and new. Mercury’s sextile with Venus in Scorpio will see to that.
While Venus opposes Jupiter, we might find ourselves grappling with the desire for more — be it in love, pleasure, or material possessions. Here’s hoping Saturn’s stabilizing influence helps us to find contentment in what we have rather than what we want to have. Holiday cheer shouldn’t be only pocket deep.
There’s some good news as Neptune finally stations directly in its home sign of Pisces. During this time our dreams will become more vivid and our subconscious thoughts clearer, revealing some personal truths.
