Aries
As we approach the end of the year, it will be an excellent time to review your career progress in 2022, as Mercury is retrograde in the pinnacle (work) area of your chart. Have you achieved your career goals? What adjustments need to be made in 2023? During this process, consider your relationships with important people and how you present yourself professionally. Venus is the first connection Mercury will make, pointing out that your reputation will play an important role in your career advancement.
Taurus
Your vacation arrangements may not go as planned. With Mercury retrograde in your house of long-distance travel, you may find that you don't have the immigration documents you need, or last-minute requests may make it difficult to make the trip. As always with Mercury retrograde , you may have your time to rest, but it may be more stressful than you expect. Alternatively, plans to visit a loved one may have to be canceled at short notice.
Gemini
It's time to reevaluate how you and your partner or partner manage your finances. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde in your house of other people's money, so you'd better consider how you handle your investments. If you spend less, you might be able to set aside more money for a rainy day. Because Mercury will meet Venus immediately, your first concern may be money spent on daily activities and how this will affect your future plans.
Cancer
How are your partnerships and associations handling? Mercury, now in your opposite sign Capricorn, may have you rethinking this area of your life. Alternatively, your partner or partner may have another idea about your partnership. Will this work for both of you? If not, what adjustments need to be made? Do you have unfinished business with a past partner or lover? After all, Mercury retrograde is also known to bring back people you haven't interacted with in a while.
Leo
You would do well to use the upcoming New Year to review some of your habits and work relationships. Mercury goes retrograde in your workday activities, which means a period of time to re-evaluate where things are and where you want them to go is welcome. Your performance at work depends on your overall health, both physical and mental. So think about how much joy you still get from what you do. This is critical in deciding how to move forward.
Virgo
One of the beautiful things about the holidays is reconnecting with the ones we love. Your ruler Mercury is now retrograde in your love and romance sector, asking you to take time to say goodbye to 2022, even though 2022 is surrounded by those closest to you, especially those you don't usually get to spend time with. If you're single, romantic relationships from the past may come back with a vengeance. What you do is up to you, but enjoyable moments seem to be in your starry sky.
Libra
With the natural gatherings of family over the holidays, you may have the opportunity to notice themes in your relationships that you want to change, improve, or re-evaluate. This would be the perfect time to do this, as Mercury enters its retrograde motion in Capricorn (your house of home and family), and the first contact it makes is with Venus, your ruler. Since relationships are your natural area of expertise, you may want to consider how balanced and reciprocal they are.
SCORPIO
Over the next 20 days, there is a good chance that you will need to review your recent contracts and conversations. You may have made a verbal agreement that didn't (or couldn't) materialize, or you may be revisiting forecasts you made that involved variable revenue or future goals. This is thanks to Mercury retrograde in your house of the heart and intellect. Since Venus will be linked to Mercury for the first time when it returns to its footsteps, relationship agreements may also be under review.
Sagittarius
It seems that the money earned from your professional activities will be scrutinized. Today, Mercury will be retrograde in your earned income house, which means you're likely to reevaluate the commitment you've made regarding a raise. While now is an appropriate time to return to conversations that have been started but not yet completed, be aware that the circumstances may be completely different now and what was once said may no longer apply.
Capricorn
This would be the perfect time to step back and review your views, needs, and perspectives. Mercury now goes retrograde in Capricorn, and you may realize that your position in any particular situation needs to be reexamined. This may slow you down, but when you tend to focus on results, you won't be in a hurry. Venus is the first planet to go retrograde with Mercury, and you'll also be taking a closer look at your relationship with your loved one.
Aquarius
Past conversations or relationships may come back, revealing information you didn't know - and perhaps secrets. That's what Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, your house of the hidden, brings about. The information may relate to shared financial situations or family dynamics and may make you feel uneasy. However, before you take action, remember that this retrograde period will last 20 days, so don’t act hastily, you won’t see the full picture until 20 days have passed.
Pisces
The holidays may bring you back together with a long-lost friend. With Mercury retrograde in your house of groups and associations, you'll enjoy spending some time with each other and chatting. Or, you could take a closer look at the health of your current relationship -- after all, Mercury is retrograde, and starting today, it's all about comments. Maybe your current team is no longer aligned with your values and needs. Consider how they contribute to your growth and achievement of your goals, and decide whether to continue doing them.
