Don’t shirk responsibilities, though! No, you don’t have to keep every promise you made while Jupiter paddled through sacrificial Pisces since October 28. But if you’re going to break your word, give people time to devise a Plan B. Make a graceful exit instead of burning bridges. The winter solstice always coincides with the Sun’s move into grounding, elegant Capricorn. And since the celestial Sea Goat is the governor of goal setting, how perfect is it that we get to make our resolutions under these solar flares every year? Get a running list going in your Notes app for now so you can enjoy the holidays pressure-free. And with Mercury turning retrograde from December 29 to January 18, you’d be wise to get the momentum going before the New Year while thoughts are still clear. The first new moon of 2023 is on January 21, so you’re not going to lose your momentum (or your “high pro glow”) if you wait until then to set your intentions in stone. Christmas weekend comes without any massive astrological fireworks with the moon lingering in traditional Capricorn on Saturday, then grooving into multiplayer Aquarius for some Christmas Day camaraderie. The one galactic Grinch in the picture is feisty Mars, which is retrograde in Gemini. Those “little squabbles” can escalate quickly, so if people try to push your buttons—or bring up a subject you’re not willing to entertain—excuse yourself for a walk in the frosty air!
