We’re finally out of the woods this week and ready for new horizons. Jupiter leaves dreamy Pisces for dynamic Aries on the 20th—with this shift, we’re picking back up on the self-motivated growth we experienced from May through July. Then, the winter solstice arrives on the 21st as the sun moves into practical Capricorn. Happy birthday to our favorite sea goats from Dolly Parton to Timothée Chalamet to Diane Keaton! The new moon in Capricorn on the 23rd is the perfect moment to reflect on 2022 and dream up some optimistic resolutions for 2023.
