And no, you cannot stop the madness in the world or even all the craziness that may be happening within you.

Mercury enters Capricorn at 23:35
This is the perfect period to launch a home-based biz or venture, and those running a family business should feel extra lucky – their combined luck and hustle could take them to unprecedented heights!
Perfect for real-estate tycoons and agents, this is the time to make your dreams come true!
Capricorn is earth energy, so now is the time to take practical action to reach your goals, whatever they are.
But watch out for the first danger of Mercury in Capricorn, and do all your best not to allow your mind’s thoughts and actions to become too robotic; yes, it’s good to be no-nonsense and get down to business.
Still take care of your health, yet we can’t help but get laser-focused on the task at hand, and our conversations can become dull; it’s like a conversation with a calculator.
Our thought processes and communication styles become a little too, uh, algorithmic.
It is vital to remain open-minded and not become overly entrenched in our thinking; otherwise, we may come across as unapproachable or severe.
There is a delicate balance between being realistic and being cruel or pessimistic; we should be aware of this when expressing our thoughts.
Additionally, we must also be aware of our tendency to be overly serious and use sarcasm when attempting to make jokes. Lastly, we should avoid becoming too stubborn in our opinions and approaches.
Nevertheless, you can really get down to the nitty-gritty when it comes to what matters most.
Realness is in the house, and our banter is straight to the point, so accuracy is key. Unlike a bunch of wild animals–we’re all about what’ll be good for us in the long run! Not instant gratification.
All in all, During this time, it would be beneficial to make well-thought-out and realistic plans to stay organised.
It is an opportune moment to offer guidance, instruction, or direction to yourself or others
Taking care of your reputation and obligations and being hard-working, consistent and reliable will bring positive results.
Come up with strategies to reach your goals, whether wellness, psychological, emotional, spiritual, technical or financial, keeping an open mind and being willing to change your goals when circumstances call for it.
Additionally, Mercury makes a sesquiquadrate to Mars this can lead to sudden flare-ups, unkind words, hasty decisions, impulsive behaviour, premature conclusions, harsh judgement, aggression, pessimistic attitudes, and a heightened risk of accidents.
The Sun’s semi-square to Saturn adds to this tension, particularly when dealing with those in authority.
There can be frustration and delays when trying to access influential people, but it is possible to overcome these obstacles with patience and dedication.
The key is working through the proper channels and not taking shortcuts or rushing outcomes.
Yet Venus’s sextile to Neptune can balance out all this hostile energy allowing for some of you to take a chilled approach to any conflict that comes up while others may manipulate or be deceived by others, choosing to live in a fantasy world, there is a risk of excessive alcohol and drug use.
Nevertheless, this energy allows for enjoying the finer things in life – think beauty, art, and music!
Your creative juices can flow, and the arts, like never before, can inspire you.
Don’t be surprised, especially for all you creatives out there; if you create a masterpiece, this aspect supports such things, whatever you put your thoughts and action to.
Moon Void, of Course, Starts at 23:25
In general, some astrologers suggest it may be best to delay essential things during the moon void of course period; read more about the void of course moon do’s and don’ts here.
During this period, communication between friends, loved ones, and even strangers have an easy, natural flow, and a pleasant demeanour is likely to produce favourable outcomes.
Mercury’s alignment with transiting Venus encourages a light-hearted and cheerful attitude, so this is an excellent time to enjoy yourself and seek recreational activities.
But Venus’s sesquiquadrate with mars can bring tensions between people as strong emotions can make people act or react unpredictably.
People may be particularly passionate and could act in a manner that is overly aggressive in relationships, particularly in matters of love or sex.
There is potential for infidelity and extreme expressions of anger or aggression. This could also be a time of greater interest in activities that involve competition or conflict, so plan for the worst and expect the best, keep calm and carry on.
Moon enters Pisces at 00:26
The Moon also enters the constellation of Pisces people can become more introverted when the Moon is in Pisces for the next few days. You can be more preoccupied with your inner emotional and psychological life rather than what’s going on in the external world.
This can cause problems in close relationships or the workplace.
Because people can become more hypersensitive to what is or what they view as an attack on them.
You can miss important details or forget to do things you promised. The Pisces moon is known to make people more fearful and fixated than usual.
Also, more prone to manipulation or deception, you can be more susceptible to psychic and subliminal influences, for better or worse, due to being more vulnerable or gullible.
If you cannot stay grounded its best to avoid the astral realms and all extra sensory preceptive work.
Yet if you can stay alert is a perfect time for all inner work and mystical or higher consciousness development.
Unhealed emotions in the subconscious mind can drive unstable thoughts and behaviours.
If you are affected, you may want to seek out support.
The best use of the energy of the Moon in the constellation of Pisces is to plan for your future and appreciate nature and natural beauty more.
Working on creative projects, listening to music or watching films or other media stimulates your artistic side.
Do your best to avoid excessive daydreaming and stay realistic in all you do, especially regarding your career and finances.
Helping those who may be going through a bad time right now or someone could show you empathy.
Take some time to meditate, self-soothe, relax, and explore the psychic and occult if you can stay grounded and think critically. Plus, an excellent vibration to make strategic plans for your future.
For you gardeners out there, when the Moon is in the constellation of Pisces, it’s a perfect time to plant and transplant.
Especially leafy crops; roots can recover quickly, and planting your crops during the Pisces moon promotes immense root growth.
On 29 December, the year’s fourth and final Mercury retrograde will begin, and it’s happening in the practical sign of Capricorn
At specific points in its orbit, Mercury appears to move backwards in relation to Earth, a phenomenon known as retrograde. This optical illusion is recurrent, occurring several times a year due to Mercury’s shorter journey around the Sun – 88 earth days, compared to the Earth’s 365.
This Mercury retrograde in Capricorn period could create quite a stir in all things money and work-related, and has the power to disrupt even the best of our plans.
Best to avoid any major post-festive season purchases and ease into any new projects or professional plans until ol’ Mercury stops messin’ with us!
Mercury controls all communication in astrology, from listening, writing, reading to speaking with intention.
Through the use of these tools, we are able to build relationships, negotiate contracts, and travel the world.
When Mercury goes into retrograde, it can make you feel like you’re losing your mind, and you may feel like you’re losing balance in your life.
It’s like a cosmic sign to pause and take stock of how all the different parts of your life are working together.
If one area of your life is dominating, or if you’re feeling off balance, it can cause all of them to suffer.
That’s why it’s essential to be aware of the connections between the different areas of your life, especially during Mercury retrograde.
When Mercury is retrograde, use this opportunity to reflect on the power of communication and how it can be used to negatively or positively impact your life.
Making a choice to make any adjustments in the way you communicate.
There can be delays in critical communication, and you may spend the whole 5- 8 weeks during the post and pre, active and post-shadow phases stressing.
Still, it is best to embrace the uncertainty and remember that flexibility is key!
Take the time to enjoy the slowness, and I know it can be challenging but maybe take some time to explore different communication methods or new experiences.
Don’t be afraid to take a chance and live life to the fullest, despite the obstacles, especially in all scientific, technical or creative research or writing projects.
Be mindful of your responsibilities, but don’t be afraid to make decisions that will lead to a better future.
Stay in tune with what’s going on around you – read all your communication carefully as if you rush, you may miss important details and plan ahead for any upcoming trips.
You can make your dreams a reality with the right attitude and focus!
Mercury retrograde may seem like a mayhem time, but it can also be an opportunity to reflect on where you’ve invested your time and energy.
Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself during this time: Are your career, relationships, personal development, self-care, or other routines or aspirations getting the attention they deserve? Or have you been over-stretching yourself in other directions?
It’s a time to reflect on what you can do to create a balance that works for you – but maybe don’t worry too much.
Take a moment to chill out and be away with the fairies a bit -your imagination- or take a whole week if you must!
Mercury retrograde can be an excellent time to take a step back and reanalyse who you are and what you are doing.
Just make sure you don’t do something drastic like quitting your job or moving to a different country.
That kind of decision is best left for after retrograde has ended. After all, retrograde can be a confusing and chaotic time, so it’s best to wait until you have a clearer head before making any significant life changes.
But don’t worry – you can still enjoy some time for self-reflection! Sit under a tree, meditate, write in a journal, or even take a long nap.
When Venus is in Capricorn, it’s a great time to focus on getting our lives organised and in order. This is the ideal time to get our finances in check, and get our routines down pat.
Plus, it’s a great time to strengthen our bonds with those we collaborate with, so if you’re looking for a business partner, now is the time to start. But don’t forget to tap into your creative side as well.
Venus in Capricorn is the perfect opportunity to get creative and make meaningful connections with people who could benefit you in the long run or maintain a strong trust with those we care about.
Whether you’re looking to make a business partner, a new friend, or finally ask out that cute person you may have been vibing with irl or online.
When Venus transits in Capricorn, we can strive for trust, dependability, and loyalty in our relationships.
We understand that emotions can be a tricky thing, and as such, so some people may push them down to focus on practical matters rather than idealist fantasies, choosing to keep our composure in all of our interactions.
Still, this can cause problems in connection, and you may come off as cold or uncaring.
We value loyalty and dependability and prioritise ensuring that these qualities are present in all of our relationships.
We understand that relationships can be complicated, but we strive to make sure that our relationships are built on trust, dependability, and loyalty.
Moon’s North Node Stationary Direct at 01:12
First Quarter Moon at 01:21
You might focus more on overcoming obstacles and increasing your career, relationships or personal development commitments. When the Moon enters its first quarter, you may make your mind up to succeed at your goals, feel braver and have more willpower.
There can also be an increase in your creative-artistic expression; negatively, you can become more impulsive in words and actions.
Conflict can occur between what you want to do and what you need to do; people can be more temperamental than usual.
The transit of Sun’s Quincunx Mars can lead to dangerous disharmony in personal and professional relationships.
Aggressive behaviour and bullying may be on the rise, and enemies could be waiting to strike.
There is a risk of physical harm or injury, so caution should be taken in all interactions.
As Mercury journeys through Sagittarius, we may experience a renewed spirit of exploration and learning.
Our perspective broadens, and our outlook can grow increasingly optimistic; you can be open to exploring new cultures.
We can become more faith-filled as we strive to uncover higher ideals and ways of life.
We are much better primed to trust ourselves and convince others to do what we want.
Thoughts of what is right and wrong can dominate our words and actions right now; people can think their way is the only way, but trying to force our beliefs on others can cause conflict, pick your battles wisely and remember to live and let live.
As we progress through this innovative period, we are drawn to exploring, pondering, and cogitating on fresh ideas.
Abstract concepts spark our imagination; although you may try to grasp the bigger picture, you may ignore the smaller details that need attention as well.
For example, some people may read a few lines from a book, and now believe they are experts.
Despite the occasional bouts of egotism, forgetfulness and lack of consistency, we generally remain honest and direct.
Still, you must remember other people’s feelings, not intentionally set out to hurt them, and be careful you don’t indirectly.
People can be generous with their time, energy and other resources, maintaining a friendly yet professional atmosphere with all they meet in passing.
You can definitely count on this transit to bring a good laugh; even if it’s only at yourself, people can offer powerful solutions to problems or be the life and soul of the party during this time!
Additionally, the Sun makes a quincunx to transiting Mars, so be on the lookout for some extremely passive-aggressive behaviour!
This increases the risk of fights breaking out due to differences in opinions, and the risk of minor accidents could be quite high.
So watch your back around those powerful foes because they’re just itching to start something! In general, things could get a little dicey, so keep your wits about yourself and stay safe out there!
Moon Void of Course, Starts at 06:01
In general, some astrologers suggest it may be best to delay essential things during the moon void of course period; read more about the void of course moon do’s and don’ts here.
The Moon will enter the constellation of Aries. You and others may communicate more directly and thoughtlessly, going after what you want without thinking about others’ reactions or feelings.
This can be an emotionally unpredictable time; people are more likely to go off gut feelings- intuition than rational thought.
Some people can be more self-conscious and sensitive; irritation can be caused by impatient and going to extremes to get your own way.
On the other hand, even if you are generally shy, you can become more assertive and have more courage and self-assurance; this can be good for setting boundaries.
It’s good not to let others walk over you, but remember to respect others’ opinions and needs.
Aries energy ruled by Mars is seen as the perfect vibration for all business, self-promotion and physical activity.
Taking the initiative and doing what needs to be done can bring giant leaps forward in career or personal projects.
Competitiveness can be high because some people may refuse to take second place; everyone may want to be number one.
When the Moon transits the constellation of Aries, there can be a strong dislike of limitations and a thirst for freedom.
The negatives of this transit moon are short tempers and impatient action, which can cause mistakes or accidents. There can be more problems with friends and family than usual.
The best use of the Moon in Aries energy is to start new ventures and be alert to fresh opportunities; although you may want to rush ahead, use moderation and restraint.
To avoid accidents, mistakes, waste of time, energy or other resources, it is best to think before you act or react, check facts before making a decision and you will succeed, and respect the needs of others too.
For you farmers out there, this is an excellent time to harvest and store your crops, cultivate your ground and eliminate weeds and insects. It’s also good to mow the lawn and fertilise.
Venus and Pluto are getting ~ cosy ~ today with a conjunction; prepare yourself for a flood of gooey emotions and wild or unconventional attractions.
You’ll feel like you’re being pulled to someone like a magnet, and someone else may feel the same way towards you!
Sparks are sure to fly and might get too hot under the (celestial) collar, so watch out! For a passionate tango of emotions, negatively, there can be Impassioned and jealous outbursts and Intense competition between hearts.
