Your Weekly Horoscope Begins With a New Moon & Ends With Mercury Retrograde
Your horoscope for the week of December 10 to December 16 is full of contradictory energy, as you’re being pushed into the future at the same time as you’re being dragged back into the past. All you can do is become fully immersed in the present moment.
This week begins with a practical Mercury in Capricorn forming a helpful sextile with an intimate Venus in Scorpio, allowing you to communicate with emotional depth and common sense. Pay attention to the topics that arise during these discussions, as they will likely be brought up again in the next few weeks.

On December 12, a new moon rises at 20 degrees Sagittarius, encouraging you to have an open mind and to embrace adventure in all its many forms. You can think of a new moon as the start of a brand new journey, and because Sagittarius is a zodiac sign of higher learning and philosophical expansion, this new moon is driving you to deepen your consciousness and gain wisdom through mind-altering experiences. Allow this new moon to push you out of your comfort zone and ignite your passion for knowledge. Don’t be afraid to see something familiar in an unfamiliar light.
However, Mercury stations retrograde at 8 degrees Capricorn on December 13, which could stall some of your big plans. Due to misunderstandings and communication mishaps, you may feel somewhat stagnant or inconvenienced during this time, as nothing will be moving forward in the way you intend. Agendas always have a way of being disrupted while Mercury is retrograde.
Because Capricorn is a zodiac sign of karma and discipline, you may be met with the consequences of not completing something the correct way or giving a project 100 percent of your effort. This retrograde may force you to return to the drawing board and right some of your wrongs, allowing you to correct mistakes and finding closure. And because Capricorn is such a career-oriented zodiac sign, you can expect this retrograde to manifest even more profoundly while you’re at work.
