Since the sun entered the playful sign of Sagittarius on November 22, the atmosphere has been anything but solemn—and rightfully so.
Following an intense eclipse season, there has been a renewed emphasis on stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying new things in order to create an unforgettable story. Mercury retrograde, everyone’s favorite astrological event, is about to squelch the carefree spirit of this magical holiday season, which is a real bummer. (It will be the final one in 2023, thank goodness.)
As of December 13th, Mercury will start to make its way back through Capricorn, the cardinal earth sign. This three-week period, which will station at 8 degrees, will give everyone an opportunity to gain much-needed clarity regarding any future endeavors. Just in time for the new year, as the planet of communication gets ready to moonwalk through space, it’s a good idea for all zodiac signs to get back on track with their present aspirations and objectives. Take advantage of the last Mercury retrograde of 2023 if you’ve been having trouble gaining the self-control you need to achieve the stability you desire.
When Mercury enters its retrograde phase on December 13, it will have the following effects on all zodiac signs:
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Mercury will station retrograde in your 10th house of career on December 13, giving you the opportunity to rethink any plans or endeavors you have in mind for your professional life related to your career. In terms of your professional life, you are all about establishing a distinct path forward; however, as Mercury travels in the opposite direction through the cosmos, you will be more inclined to put any business deals that are currently in the process of being negotiated on hold. However, there is no need to be concerned because this is only a temporary situation.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
On December 13, Mercury will enter its retrograde phase, which will cause you to reevaluate the beliefs that you currently adhere to. To what extent do you feel content with the philosophies and viewpoints that you currently adhere to, or do you feel that it is time for you to adopt a different point of view? A great opportunity to educate yourself on a subject or interest that you are eager to learn more about is currently available to you, despite the fact that you are typically slow to switch sides.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
On December 13, Mercury, the planet that rules your astrological chart, will station retrograde in Capricorn, which will provide you with a new point of view regarding your finances and the resources that you share with others. In the event that you have been putting your time or money into endeavors that have not been yielding the desired results, now is an excellent time to reevaluate your efforts. This month, you might also be paying off debts or taking care of financial responsibilities, which will allow you to feel more prepared for the year that lies ahead.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
During the time that Mercury is stationed in your seventh house of relationships, you will be having some significant conversations about the nature of the connections you have with other people. There is a possibility that you will find yourself thinking more about the future with a current love interest, which may result in some significant “a-ha” moments regarding your relationship status. At this time, Cancer, you should be on the lookout for potential misunderstandings between yourself and other people. It will be much simpler than usual for the people in your life to interpret your words in a manner that is not consistent with their context.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
During the time that Mercury is stationed retrograde in your sixth house, which is associated with routines and productivity, you will be seeking out ways to handle your responsibilities in a more effective manner. During the course of this transit, you might find yourself experimenting with new wellness routines or incorporating new routines into your day-to-day life. Changing things up in this area will provide you with a much-needed shift in perspective, even though these new practices might not stick just yet.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Mercury, the ruler of your chart, will enter retrograde motion on December 13, at which point you will be prompted to reevaluate the creative activities and hobbies that you have been participating in. It’s possible that you’ve been mulling over some artistic ideas that aren’t quite ready to be pursued yet, or that you’re involved in a romantic relationship right now that calls for some straightforward communication. This month, regardless of the circumstances, you will be giving yourself permission to let your hair down a little bit more, even if the lines between the two are a little bit blurry.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
During the Mercury retrograde that is occurring this month, you will be having some significant conversations with members of your family and with your living partners. As this retrograde continues to play out, you will want to get more of your domestic affairs in order. This will allow you to incorporate more structure into your personal life. In the event that you have been contemplating relocating, you should first ensure that you have fulfilled all of the essential responsibilities that are associated with your current household before you begin to investigate your options.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
As Mercury moves through its retrograde phase, you will find yourself reevaluating the thoughts, opinions, and ideas that you currently hold. When you are going through this period, it is important to surround yourself with people, places, and things that will stimulate your mind. Despite the fact that you won’t want to push yourself too far outside of your comfort zone, you’ll be more likely to participate in conversations that challenge the way you typically think about and approach things.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Mercury is scheduled to station retrograde in your second house of personal assets on December 13, which will provide you with an opportunity to examine your current spending habits and budget in greater detail. If you are a Sagittarius, now is a good time to determine what your financial goals for the new year are, and it is possible that these goals will require you to make some sacrifices. Despite the fact that you might be experiencing a more frugal mindset, this is actually serving a purpose and will assist you in establishing the stability that you have been after.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
As Mercury moves through its retrograde motion in the first house of your chart, which is associated with your personal identity and self-expression, you will be experimenting with various modes of communication. You may not feel as compelled to share your ideas and thoughts with the rest of the world during this month; however, you will acquire a greater sense of clarity regarding any ideas you have regarding yourself and your identity. Even though you might not notice any progress right away, this retrograde will help to get things moving in the right direction.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Due to the fact that Mercury will be stationing retrograde in the cardinal sign of Capricorn on December 13, you will be forced to engage in some self-reflection. While you are in this period, you will have a greater propensity to contemplate the ways in which you currently think. How would you describe your current state of mind, and would you say that it is constructive? In the event that this is not the case, now is an excellent time to make some adjustments. Let’s begin by confronting any negative self-talk that you may be having, Aquarius; it is not serving you any purpose. What you focus your attention on can ultimately come to define your reality.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
The Mercury retrograde that occurred on December 13 of this month encourages you to reevaluate the friendships and social networks that you currently have. Are you surrounding yourself with people who will be an integral part of your life in the long run, or are these connections only supposed to be temporary? It is essential that the people in your inner circle are dependable and consistent, and as this retrograde progresses, you will gain insight into whether or not they are worth the investment.
