Storm's Weekly Breakdown for December 11, 2023 – December 17, 2023

The second week of December starts with a lovely sextile between Mercury in Capricorn and Venus in Scorpio. Mercury sextile Venus is a favorable aspect that promotes harmonious communication, creativity, and social interactions. During this time, individuals can express themselves creatively, improve communication skills, socialize, pursue love and beauty, learn something new, and make financial decisions. Whether it’s through artistic expression or enhancing relationships, the energy of this aspect encourages productivity and harmony in various areas of life. So, make the most of this aspect by indulging in activities that bring joy, strengthen relationships, and enhance personal development.

Midweek, brace yourself because Mercury turns retrograde in Capricorn. Before Mercury turns retrograde, make sure you back up your computers and phone, finalize any plans, and clean up existing communication issues. Otherwise, after Mercury ‘retches’ out, expect communication issues, difficulties expressing yourself effectively, and plans to go awry.

This weekend, expect storm clouds to roll in as the Sun forms a difficult square to Neptune in Pisces. The Sun square Neptune is a low energy aspect that will dampen plans and cause considerable confusion.  You may be plagued with self-doubt over the weekend. It’s best not to take on projects or participate in activities that require focus and determination, because this may trigger your insecurities further.  Also, avoid shady individuals, because they will likely take advantage of you if they can.
