Also, a lucky Mercury-Jupiter connection will help you make ambitious — and realistic — plans for your future
At the start of this week, you'll have a chance to set the stage for success. When intellect-ruling Mercury trines lucky Jupiter on Monday, it's a beautiful moment to start making ambitious — and realistic — plans for the future. During this transit, we often feel calm, cool and collected, so you may also want to channel this energy toward conquering your fears and tackling any tasks or conversations that you've been avoiding.
Also on Monday, Jupiter will station retrograde in Taurus, ushering us into a period of scaling back. When the planet of abundance moves in reverse through the fixed earth sign, he encourages us to reflect on how our external world influences our innermost thoughts and feelings, and challenges us to evaluate what really brings us joy. From now until Dec. 30 when Jupiter turns direct, think about the sources of your happiness and consider places where you may be able to cut back to tend to your true needs.
Ideas for rebirth and reinvention will be on the tip of our tongues on Wednesday, when the ego-ruling sun conjuncts a retrograding Mercury in practical Virgo. If you've been gearing up to launch a new project, take advantage of this energy to share your ideas with the people who can help you succeed. Attention to detail will also be high during this transit, so go ahead and aim for perfection.
Later that day, as the emotion-ruling moon wanes into her third quarter in lively Gemini, the urge to move quickly could start to take over. It's important to be wary of single-minded thinking during this lunation, as an inability to be flexible could lead to a conflict that prevents you from moving forward. So instead of dwelling on the things you can't control, try to focus your attention on simple tasks that'll help you to get organized. The finish line is in sight — get ready to wrap things up.
