In the pre-dawn hours, Mercury in Capricorn makes its final of three trines to Jupiter in Taurus which occurred during Mercury’s retrograde. This concludes a story in architecting an educational, travel, or investment strategy. The first planetary pass, which took place on December 7, saw us in the beginning stages of planning our initiative. Attention to detail married with good luck for positive results. However, during the second pass on December 18, our luck likely went a bit haywire. Projected success suddenly seemed further away than we initially anticipated. Additionally, our interest could have waned, especially if other commitments demanded our attention. Today, we see the culmination of our efforts, and we will be rewarded for our diligence, allowing us to proceed with greater enthusiasm.
After sun-up, Venus in Sagittarius squares off with Neptune in Pisces, creating confusion in matters of the heart. We are not viewing a romantic situation accurately now. We might optimistically be putting all our eggs in one basket, which is unwise. Or we might think something is amiss with a partner when there is no cause for concern. Projections run wild, causing us to assume that someone is angry or disappointed in us. We could believe that the reason for another’s lack of interest has to do with our appearance. In truth, a misalignment of values is the more likely culprit. If we enter into a relationship today, exercise caution. Your “connection” may only be a mirage.
