Mercury retrograde is fully in the rearview, and yet, this week, we’re still working through November’s disruptions and uncertainties. Overall energy is low, as Mars—the planet that gets us out of bed in the morning—squares off with hard-nosed Saturn on the 8th, bringing frustrations and roadblocks that have been building since early November to a climax. At the same time, Neptune—planet of dreams, illusions, and haze—ends its retrograde in Pisces on the 10th, casting a fog of confusion over the whole week.
Despite the headaches and brain fog, progress is being made. Mercury makes a supportive aspect to stable Saturn on the 7th, a good sign for moving ahead with contracts, as well as general productivity. Then on the 10th, Mercury faces off with changemaker Uranus, throwing one more unexpected wrench into the mix. This is the third time we’ve experienced this aspect after facing surprises on October 29 and November 19. Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 11th, where the communication planet is known for having no filter. On the 13th, Mercury links up with Pluto bringing deep thoughts and penetrating focus.
