Aries Weekly Horoscope | December 18th – 24th, 2023
It feels like you’re flying by the seat of your pants, but keep it to yourself because as far as everyone else is concerned you’re doing great! In reality you haven’t the faintest notion of why a project got the greenlight or an endeavor is paying off. One day it was assigned to you and the next thing you knew things were off and running. Continue to look like you’re in the driver’s seat and you’ll climb to higher heights. Hopefully you’ll eventually get an idea as to what’s going on, but don’t expect anything intelligible until Jupiter comes out of retrograde on December 30th.

Mercury, the planet of shopkeepers, becomes the planet of shoplifters (metaphorically speaking, at least) when it reverses direction in the sky.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you’ll be plagued by criminals walking off with your goods, but it does infer that mistaken assumptions, crossed signals, and wild misunderstandings could cost if you don’t watch out.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to get things in writing when the messenger planet is retrograde; and if you can’t get it in writing, then hold on to all receipts, texts, and email threads. You may need these to prove that a purchase wasn’t delivered or went missing.
The plus side to Mercury traveling backward is that it gets you to go back the way you came. Like retracing your steps to find a lost object, Mercury forces us to revisit our customary approach to matters that we take for granted. Not only will we realize that it was counterproductive, we may even discover a better way of realizing our goals.
Mercury will be retrograde from December 12th to January 1st.

Things aren’t going to go as smoothly as all that. Either a superior will backpedal, or the person you thought you could depend on will disclose that they spoke too soon. It’s dispiriting, but it doesn’t mean you’re sunk. What it means is you’re going to have to do some hand holding. Whether it’s reassuring a boss suffering from a case of cold feet or gently prodding a go-between to deliver as promised, you’ll need to employ a soft touch. This isn’t something you typically do, but you may discover you’re a lot better at it than you thought – especially when prospects improve after January 8th.

Many people are wary of your Ruling Planet Neptune because of its association with illusion. They don’t like to be under anyone’s spell and will work hard to resist unseen influences. As a Pisces, you know that those who debunk myths are usually the most vulnerable to their own fantasies. They may dress things up in facts and stats, but at the end of the day, they’re still enthralled by an ideology that’s ensnared them. One of the benefits to being a Pisces is in your ability to work with Neptune in a creative way. Imagination isn’t dangerous if you know how to use it.

You’re not one to put the kibosh on people’s plans. If anything, you like to encourage aspirations not hamper them, however you can already see that a current enterprise is off course. Unfortunately, others are enamored with their farfetched idea, so the more you question it, the more emphatic they’ll become about its future success. There are certain planetary transits that can’t be helped and the series of planetary squares involving Neptune is one of them. Sometimes people can only learn from their own mistakes which is why you should step out of the way and let things play out the way they will.

Mercury retrogrades don’t usually cramp your style, but this one will because it’s retrograde in your zodiac sign. Expect a gumming up of the works in routine transactions, surefire sales pitches that miss the mark, or inexplicable delays when finalizing a deal. The trick to getting through this is to be inventive, resourceful, and keep your sense of humor handy. Mercury is still a guide even when backward, which is why many people benefit by being made to travel back over ground that they recently covered. This is when they discover something they overlooked before. Mercury will be retrograde from December 12th to January 1st.

It will be hard to explain why you feel so hopeful. Your spirit crackles like a fire, and your confidence in the future couldn’t be more solid. Loved ones and friends may wonder what gives you cause for such optimism. It’s not like you won the lottery or are experiencing a lucky streak. Nevertheless, you were born under a highly intuitive sign, and you can tell when the winds of fortune are starting to pick up. You still have some iffy days ahead – like December 16, 27, and 28th – but once into January, you’ll feel the speed and momentum of your life pick up.

Scorpios like being in too deep to back out now. There’s something intense and irrefutable about it. The higher the stakes, the more impossible the escape. This is why you won’t walk away from the heavy entanglement that the Mercury/Venus sextile portends on December 11th. You know that you’re playing with fire, but infernal fire is the kind of flame that anyone born under Pluto is looking for. It’s where you come alive. Thankfully others don’t have the temerity that you have, which means that they will turn around and go back the way they came on December 29th, thereby leaving the prize to you.

Should you believe that insider tip, veiled warning, or off-the-record conversation on December 11th? Yes. The last aspect Mercury makes before turning retrograde on December 13th is to your Ruling Planet Venus, so it would be a good idea to take this information seriously – no matter how questionable the source. What makes the situation dicey is that you will be sworn to secrecy, and this is a confidence you must uphold if you want to avoid trouble. Part of you may feel guilty for knowing the things you know, but you’ll be glad you remained tight-lipped when things play out as predicted on December 29th.

Mercury turning retrograde on December 13th doesn’t mean you should stop what you’re doing and dive for cover. Planets reversing direction in the sky are no different from changing weather patterns. There are plenty of people who carry on with their day-to-day business through rain or snow by preparing for it ahead of time. For you, this means backing up all electronic devices, checking under the hood to make sure things are OK, and adding two weeks to any given deadline in case of delay. Be proactive during this period your Ruling Planet is traveling backward, and you’ll see major headaches downgraded to minor inconveniences.
