Brilliant (or harebrained) ideas take center stage during Mercury’s collision with renegade Uranus on the 15th, so avoid decisions or projects that require a more sensible approach. Brainstorming, however, can result in a breakthrough. Next, intensity lights a fire under romance when Pluto dances with the sun on the 18th. Mercury’s merger with Pluto on the 25th heightens the intensity and is excellent for research and delving into the mysterious. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 20th lightens things up and encourages long-range vision and wisdom, a great time for making New Year’s resolutions. Unconventionality arises once again when Mars clashes Uranus on the 21st-22nd, but practicality resumes when the sun and Mercury transit into Capricorn on the 21st and 27th. Happy winter solstice!
