The first days of December 2023 are emotionally dramatic. Power struggles in relationships, critical financial circumstances, challenging cultural shifts or pure change in priorities will be intense. Jealousy, manipulation, anger and control might increase just enough to reach the edge and realise the need for transformation. Even though emotions will push towards forceful measures, it is best to withhold the drastic steps until the beginning of February, resorting to practical and strategic thinking and appealing to traditional resolution ways such as negotiations.
By the end of the first week, ambitions will start rising, and it will be easy to lose sight of boundaries, which can result in overspending before the holiday season or in a major diplomatic flop, depending on the chosen scale. After the New Moon on the 13th, the vision gradually blurs, be it a pre-holiday haze or just a desire to turn off from reality decisions taken in this period will not be objective. It is time to be more attentive to people around without being too trusting. With Mercury turning retrograde, we will have an outpour of whining in all the astrological sources. And this time, the moment is favourable for whining, whatever the reason, so don’t limit yourself.
Leading up to Christmas, solipsistic tendencies will rise. It might be easy to suddenly get tired of relationships, come to unexpected emotional realisations and change your financial plans. Circumstances might provoke independent and unconventional moves, but this time any desirable “freedom” comes with a price and is not what it seems.
The informational field in the last week of the month is very biased. Subjective opinions inevitably turn to populistic lies and, by the time of the full Moon on the 27th, transform into fanatical rhetoric. By the end of the month, the conflict of beliefs takes another extreme point and currently can not be logically resolved. Sensitivity, compassion, reliance on fundamental, time-proof values and adherence to the rules will provide stability in the moment.
