Astrological forecasts for the week from 10 to 16/12

In addition to the New Moon and the retrogradation of Mercury, we have the beginning of a period dominated by Neptune, which will continue throughout the month of December. These three transits set the tone for the end of 2023. Let me tell you what to expect in this astrology thread here.

From Tuesday: the Sun squares Neptune

On Tuesday (12th), the Sun begins a square with Neptune, which will last until Tuesday of next week (19th).

This is the first in a sequence of tense aspects involving Neptune in December. This is because, immediately after Christmas, we will also have Mercury and Mars square Neptune.

Here’s a warning: there will be a great chance of rain in the last period of 2023. From now on Sun/Neptune can mean greater vulnerability and sensitivity.

It is worth remembering that the holiday season presents an ambivalence. For some people it is a time of joy and celebration. But it’s still a time to (re)evaluate the year – something that becomes even more evident with Mercury retrograde (which we’ll talk about later).

Here because, some people are sensitive, either because they are frustrated with the results of the year, or because they remember someone who died or who they broke up with. This will be the sensitivity we will have to deal with depending on this aspect. Here are some tips for dealing with grief during the holidays.

Another very Neptunian thing is allergies. AND Delicate week for the immune system. Allergies, viruses and other health problems may require attention. For some people, there is a decline in vitality and energy.

To deal with this, it is worth looking alternative therapies, meditation or something else that supports us. You will need to find a way to deal with this hypersensitivity. Discover the ideal therapy for each sign here!

Reflections that every person should focus on

This square can be stronger for those who have the Sun in theirs Homes 1, 6 and 12 From Astral Map (see if it’s right for you here). House 1 is directly connected to the physical body. Houses 6 and 12 have a lot to do with health and emotional vulnerability, which doesn’t necessarily concern you, it could concern someone close to you.

It is also necessary to respect the expectations regarding the theme of the House through which the Sun now passes. That see here in Personalized Horoscope. Just search for “Sol na Casa…” and then see What are the themes of this House in this article? this will be highlighted.

Regarding this area of ​​life, reflect:

  • How are my expectations?
  • Are they inflated or not?
  • Which ruler am I using to measure my waist?
  • What triggers my sensitivity?

All this is important, because a characteristic of Neptune could be the excess imagination, which already happens, of course, at the end of the year. It’s nice to watch Christmas movies and follow profiles on social networks, but sometimes the parameters become unrealistic.

Therefore it is necessary to choose what can increase our sensitivity, as well as what can reduce our immunity.

More than ever, meditation will be important to avoid absorbing energies that are often not even ours. See 10 guided meditation practices here which will help you at this time.

From Tuesday: New Moon

The last New Moon of 2023 begins on Tuesday (12th), the effects of which will be felt until January 11, 2024, the next New Moon. Now you can see the 2024 lunar calendar here.

For Brazil, this New Moon has an astral chart with the Ascendant in Cancer, which is an emotional sign and ruled by the Moon, which being next to the Sun and both in square Neptune, intensifies the emotionality.

On the one hand, we have a happy atmosphere of celebration and end-of-year celebration. Especially because the opposition of Venus with Jupiter, which lasts until Tuesday (12th), brings with it this festive side.

On the other hand, we have a fantasy Neptunian side that can bring higher order factors, such as viruses.

In other words, we will need to evaluate what is real and feasible for the moment and what is not. This also applies to love, to avoid traps. After all, we may have less clarity, also due to Mercury’s retrogradation.

It may take some time to make a better decision, which will be easier after the next New Moon, 01/11/2024.

At this time, rather than take care of your emotions! This will be the best idea for late 2023 and early 2024.

Wednesday: Beginning of Mercury retrograde

Mercury’s retrograde phase begins on Wednesday (13th), which will only return direct on January 2, 2024. Therefore, Mercury retrograde It will fully hit the holiday season, travel, commuting and holidays.

Therefore, we can expect small disruptions in everyday life, with some plans not going as planned. In large cities and tourist destinations, for example, we may have problems with energy supply.

So, you will have to prepare. No one wants to have Mercury retrograde at the end of the year, but he will be there. That said, what makes the difference is knowing this and prepare better (see tips here!).

Good aspects of Mercury

The bright side of the astrological predictions for the week of 10/10 to 16/12 is that Mercury is in interesting aspects.

Until Thursday (14th) it is in sextile with Venus, which encourages conversations, interesting programs and happy hours, which have a lot to do with the end of the year! And, the positive side of Mercury retrograde, favors the resumption of contacts with people from the past.

Additionally, Mercury is also in good aspects to Saturn and Jupiter, remaining so until 12/22. Therefore, if we need to review something or review processes, which is common with Mercury, we will have a very sharp and logical head to do so.

It is therefore the right time to examine all issues carefully and leave nothing pending until 2024.

Finally, it is worth remembering that Mercury retrograde makes us resume our studies. So, it’s a week with high study motivation.
