Signs most affected: Cancer and Capricorn 

On or around Christmas, hosts or hostesses emerge as important hubs of activity. The best conversations may revolve around and encircle them, not to mention the most scrumptious and enticing food. Stay close for a bigger piece of the action (or pie!). Spirited debates or differences of opinion may break out between the masculine and feminine principles. Remember that a nurturing and an authoritative side co-exist in all of us.

Signs most affected: Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Virgo

Neptune and the marriage asteroid Juno join together in Pisces mid-week, creating an especially dreamy and giving atmosphere for long-term relationships. Our spouses can embrace romance—even if they haven’t been inclined to in ages—and even seem to epitomise all that we could ever hope for. Venus in dynamic contact with this pair of celestial bodies brings an added element of sweetness. Self-sacrifice for the sake of the partnership can be extremely worthwhile at this time.

Signs most affected: Gemini and Leo

Mercury heads into a three-week retrograde on December 29, signaling a good time to slow down and smell the roses. This is a time to process the recent past and integrate thoughts or feelings that had been brushed aside. New insights may come as a result of taking the time to integrate and digest. Take the time especially to reflect on goals and ambitions to make sure they are aligned with your greatest good. As always, beware of misinterpreted messages and careless planning under this influence.
