You might think your holiday plans are locked in, but the astrology says: think again. Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius on the 25th through December 15th just in time to reroute packages, complicate travel plans and shake up the Thanksgiving tablescape. Mercury in mutable fire sign Sagittarius is already a wildcard, so now that it’s moving backward, the communication filters are nonexistent. Expect blunt reactions to all the mess that ensues.
Energy is low this week as the moon wanes toward a new cycle. Time is best spent finishing rather than initiating. Don’t put yourself in a state of overwhelm. But if you must get it together to host or get on a flight, the sun in Sagittarius makes a supportive trine to Mars in Leo on the 27th bringing a boost of energy to this otherwise sleepy, confusing week.
