Forecast for Dec. 31-Jan. 13
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
The full moon eclipse in sentimental, emotional Cancer on New Year’s Eve is sure to create a tidal wave of reminiscing (and alcohol intake for some folks, so be mindful while driving). In early January, multiple conjunctions involving the sun, Mercury and Venus in Capricorn energize conservative activities, business ventures and anything else you’re committed to do. The Sun-Mercury conjunction on the 4th accelerates creativity, while the Mercury-Venus merger on the 5th and Sun-Venus hook-up on the 11th favor business networking and promotion. However, Saturn moving retrograde from Jan. 13-May 29, can create some backtracking over plans and projects, especially those pertaining to your job and/or security. Still, it encourages you to finish or revise business projects you’ve put on the backburner.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that too.
