Christmas Travel Horoscope
Travel is a huge part of the holidays, and if you're planning to deal with the extra crowds at the airport or take a road trip back to your childhood home, there are some things to know before you pack your bags. The last Mercury retrograde of 2023 starts on December 13, 2023, and ends on January 1, 2024, which could add to the stresses of travel. Mercury rules communication, technology, and travel, so you should expect long lines, missed connections, and canceled flights in the coming weeks! Make your travel experience smoother by planning ahead for the little things that could go wrong. Print copies of all your essential documents, such as tickets and confirmation codes, and keep them with you. Don't rely solely on technology during Mercury retrograde. Double-check your flight times and leave early to avoid last-minute delays. Mercury will station direct in Sagittarius on January 1, 2024, right ahead of the new year, making your return flight home easier.

Christmas Family Horoscope
This year, the final new moon of 2023 takes place in Cancer, which governs the home and family. Cancer is in its rulership in the moon, making this lunation one of the most powerful of the entire year. When the moon sits in Cancer, it's a time to reflect on our emotional needs and ask for the things that help us feel safe and secure. You can connect with your family members on a deeper level, which will help enrich your closest bonds with your loved ones. However, emotions may run high during this full moon due to Mercury's retrograde, causing communication to spin out of control. It's easy to lose your cool with loved ones, especially when they're the ones who know how to get under your skin and upset you the most. Fortunately, Saturn will form a harmonious trine to the full moon in Cancer, adding lessons of emotional maturity and levelheadedness. Home is where the heart is, and the stars encourage you to exercise patience with your loved ones.
