What do the final days of 2023 have in store for you? Find out now!
Hello, and welcome to the final bi-weekly newsletter of 2023.
On December 26th/27th (depending on where in the world you live), we have a beautiful Full Moon at 5° of water sign Cancer. This is the final Full Moon of 2023. This Full Moon connects to the lunar cycle that started on June 29th, 2022. See whether you can remember what chapter you started in your life around that time, as you might experience similar energies during this Full Moon. Since Cancer is a cardinal sign, this is, without a doubt, an action-oriented Full Moon. We have a couple of transits that especially stand out during this time. This Full Moon connects harmoniously with Jupiter and Saturn, creating an atmosphere where we feel secure and comfortable. Watch my latest video to find out how this Full Moon will influence you.

Mercury turns direct on January 1st at 22° of fire sign Sagittarius. Mercury offers a renewed sense of direction at this turning point, especially concerning the necessary details, documents, and social connections.
A planet-changing direction is a powerful time. During this time, you'll experience incredible clarity about whatever issues you've dealt with during the Mercury retrograde phase. Nevertheless, since Mercury retrograde is out of its usual forward orbit for three weeks, it needs time to regain its strength when it moves into a direct motion. It will be when Mercury reaches the degree where it initially turned retrograde until it regained its full strength (January 20th, 8° Capricorn).
Mars enters Capricorn, the sign of its exaltation, on January 4th, where it will remain until February 13th, 2024. Mars represents energy, action, and drive, while Capricorn is associated with ambition, responsibility, and practicality. When Mars enters Capricorn, you may experience a heightened sense of determination and a desire to achieve your goals. Mars in Capricorn is strong, powerful and driven to succeed, and it is all about working hard to get closer to reaching your goals and dreams. This is an excellent period for taking on significant tasks and seeing them through to the end. Overall, this transit can bring a focused and disciplined approach to work and a willingness to take on challenges and responsibilities.
I hope this breakdown of major astrological events in the next two weeks was helpful. Happy Holidays, and a prosperous New Year 2024. I will catch up with you soon!
