General Daily Insight for December 14, 2023
Our thoughts and our feelings are at cross-purposes today. The caring Moon and mental Mercury are conjoining in Capricorn at 12:47 am EST, but because Mercury is retrograde, we could find ourselves spinning in circles rather than using this to our advantage. The Moon will go on to sextile Venus, so we shouldn't feel too overwhelmed, before trining Uranus, allowing us to find unusual ways to work the day's energy into something more favorable. A spark of ingenuity will be key!

Aries
March 21-April 19
Your words are a double-edged sword. The Moon and Mercury are conjoining in your professional 10th house -- but they aren't going to be as helpful as usual. Due to Mercury Retrograde, it'll be tough to concentrate on even the most important conversations. If you want to find a way forward, stick to old plans that are already in the works. Attempting to make new things happen could end up with you making a wrong step just when an important VIP is watching. Stay alert!
Taurus
April 20-May 20
Your ideas can run away with you on a day like this! There is a powerful alignment between the Moon and flighty Mercury in your entrepreneurial 9th house, and with Mercury presently retrograde, all those fantastic plans may turn out to be little more than a flash in the pan. Just because something seems brilliant in the moment doesn't mean it will bear up under scrutiny, so be cautious about jumping on any bandwagons before you've had time to inspect the wheels.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Beware spilled secrets! It's tempting to focus on what's hidden while the Moon conjoins Mercury in your private 8th house, but you could blab about something that was supposed to stay hidden -- which you can blame on Mercury Retrograde. This energy will make spilling the beans incredibly appealing, so it's understandable if your urge to divulge something juicy is very powerful! Still, the backlash could be even bigger than you realize. Keep your lips sealed and repress any motor-mouth tendencies.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Reaching a compromise may feel like pulling teeth. You're probably in the mood to be fair-minded while the Moon and Mercury align in your balanced 7th house. That said, with Mercury spinning retrograde, there's a high chance that no idea will seem good enough to suit anyone. You can hammer out different options all you like, but someone will likely be getting a raw deal, and you don't want that person to be you. Step back from any negotiations and resume them under clearer skies.
Leo
July 23-August 22
A mishap or two may be unavoidable despite your best efforts. The Moon in your efficient 6th house is syncing up at the same degree at Mercury Retrograde. This alignment is usually productive, but with Mercury spinning its wheels, you'll probably encounter an irritating amount of scrambled signals that make it incredibly easy to do or say the wrong thing. You might have to throw out a whole day's worth of effort! Be exceedingly careful when dealing with anything truly important throughout the day.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
Everyone seems to be giving out the wrong message, including you. The Moon is tumbling through your typically fun 5th house, but that energy takes a complicated turn when it aligns with Mercury, currently retrograde in this same sector. The urge to put yourself front and center could seem like a good idea, only for you to freeze when you get there, caught wondering why you bothered to get everyone's attention in the first place. Think twice before trying to stand in the spotlight.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Your own emotions can be a source of confusion. There is a potent merger between the temperamental Moon and chatterbox Mercury in your 4th House of Feelings, which, in combination with Mercury Retrograde, could leave you see-sawing from each second to the next. Your reactions might be larger than life! Plus, they may miss the mark as your emotions drastically shift, potentially mid-conversation. To stay out of trouble, make an effort to maintain a sense of perspective regarding both your actions and reactions.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
You don't need to understand everything, and at present, you probably shouldn't understand everything! You may be reminded of this abruptly as the Moon in your communication sector syncs up with Mercury, which is also moving retrograde at the moment. Perhaps you'll learn something or hear some bit of gossip that you really don't like, but that info could come from an unreliable source, so don't take anything at face value. A bit of discretion and discernment will serve you well.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Getting rich quick is rarely as good or as easy as it sounds. You should beware of anyone telling you otherwise as the Moon and Mercury conjoin in your money-minded 2nd house, especially because Mercury is retrograde. With Mercury asleep at the wheel, people could pitch you projects that will never pan out, or a job offer might be laced with unseen pitfalls. Steer clear of splurges and any deals that seem too good to be true. It's time to keep your wallet shut!
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
Truly knowing yourself requires more effort than you may realize. You could have a moment of wavering confusion as the Moon and Mercury conjoin in your 1st House of Action. Normally, this would be a wonderful time to get your message out into the world, but because Mercury is retrograde, you may need to refine your own ideas before presenting them. There are further depths to explore in your own psyche, so take time to turn inward before you decide to project outward.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Your intuition may lead you astray at any moment. Even if you normally trust yourself without doubt, beware assuming anything as the Moon and Mercury align in your subconscious sector. It's already easy to miss things when planets shift through this murky territory, but with Mercury still retrograde, you're in danger of getting lost in a mental swamp. Do your best to stick to what you know, or you may wind up getting lost somewhere far beyond your usual comfort zone.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Your social ties may be pulling at you more than normal. The Moon and Mercury are conjoining in your 11th House of Friendships, which would spell out a lovely time for you and your crew -- if only Mercury weren't retrograde. Trying to get people together could feel like herding cats, and even your best intentions probably won't bear the sort of fruit you'd hope for. Trying to play ringleader could abruptly leave you with a headache, so don't take on unnecessary responsibilities.
