The BIG NEWS today is full of movement. First, the Moon changes signs and moves out of Pisces into Aries - Second, Mercury turns retrograde - and Third, Mercury conjuncts Venus.

Mercury in Capricorn turns Retrograde. The abbreviation for retrograde motion on the astrology chart is 'Rx'. Anywhere you see a little 'Rx' on a natal chart, it will mean that planet is retrograde.

If you missed it yesterday, I created a Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn Transiting Degree Calendar. Use this calendar to track Mercury through your chart following the degrees wherever you see Capricorn. That is how you will know where Mercury Rx is impacting or influencing you.

You can click on the Astro Meme above to access the 'transiting degree calendar' and you can use the Astro Meme below to access the Mercury in Capricorn write-up. Both links are also easily accessed in the left side teal-colored navigation column when 'any' astrology page is open. Just look to the left and scroll your eyeballs up and down that navigation menu.

The Moon changing signs today from Pisces into Aries tells us that the Moon is 'Void of Course'. Folks, if you miss a day reading these BIG daily write-ups, you chance missing out on important information.

On Monday, December 26th I wrote about the importance of the upcoming January 6, 2023 date.

Then on Tuesday, December 27th I wrote about the 'Void of Course Moon' and how you can see it coming and occurring every 2 to 2-1/2 days when the Moon changes signs. I am still getting a lot of Astrotators asking about that Void of Course Moon Calendar.

And on Wednesday, December 28th (yesterday) I wrote about the Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn Transiting Degree Calendar.

So you see, if you miss a day, it's important that you take the time and play catch-up because all of these write-ups impact you and are important.

So today, we have a Void of Course Moon as it changes signs from Pisces into Aries at 5:36 AM EST, so we automatically know that emotions can easily be chaotic as the lunar energy changes signs. Our response to changing conditions can be out of sync and a bit haywire. All of the sudden you realize how much you need to do and it's in that changing of the tide (so to speak) that makes you aware of it.

Then Mercury turns Rx of which I have already given you links yesterday and today.

Then Mercury Rx in Capricorn conjuncts Venus in Capricorn intensifying the energies of the planets involved. Speaking, communication, travel, connections . . . with self-worth, net-worth, money and Love.

Notice below how Mercury conjunct Venus has been active and in the 'orb of influence' since October 25, 2022 and will last until January 3, 2023. This is because when Mercury and Venus were in the previous sign (Sagittarius) they were close enough in degrees to be conjunct. Then they both changed signs with three (3) days of each other at the beginning of December 2022 and remained conjunct as they arrive exact today and last until January 3, 2022.

Well I gotta tell ya, the early degree Capricorn's are going to be much nicer than they have been in quite some time. Perhaps the Universe had to slap early degree Capricorn's around a bit and tell them that sarcasm, ass-chewing or a condescending tone will not always work, especially if that early degree Capricorn does it in public or a public forum. "Mistake! Big Mistake!" as Vivienne says to the shop lady in the movie, 'Pretty Woman'.

Mercury conjunct Venus reveals a person who is doing their best to be nice. Those with this aspect natally are nice by nature. It's just who they are.

Those with this Mercury conjunct Venus in their Solar Return, meaning Scorpio's with birthdates on or after October 25th, and all Sagittarian's, as well as Capricorn's up to January 3, 2023 will be much kinder and pleasant individuals than they have been in quite some time. These individuals want to be nicer. It can be exhausting when one feels fiesty and defensive all the dang time. Sometimes you just have to set down your armor and play in the sandbox. Enough with the angst!

Thu. Dec. 29, 2022 Mercury turns Retrograde at 4:32 AM EST Until January 18, 2023

Thu. Dec. 29, 2022 Separating degrees ends on Oct. 25, 2022 Exact on Dec. 29, 2022 at 8:48 AM EST Separating degrees ends on Jan. 3, 2023

Mercury conjunct Venus is a super-friendly aspect, which will not only bring the best out in you, it will help you bring out the best in others. Are you leader? Are you the leader at work, in a group, or in the family? Are you supposed to be the leader, but haven't been?

This aspect will help you set down your armor and give-up the sarcasm that Capricorn naturally carries. Hey! I have my Moon and Saturn in Capricorn, its not like I don't have experience with Capricorn energy. Ya' hear me? I do my best to pick-on all of the signs when it is necessary.

Mercury conjunct Venus is great for first impressions, breaking the ice, making nice, making-up, apologizing or just sliding back into the fold like nothing ever happened. This aspect is well-received by all because who really wants to challenge and be challenged all the dang time. How about a few laughs? Aye?

Those who write for a living, this aspect will help you immensely. And if you write, but have not been writing, then I suggest you arch your palms and start pecking at the keyboard. Your hands laying on the keyboard do nothing.

Capricorn's are artists in a physical way. My brother is a dentist in Champaign, Illinois. If you live in that neck of the woods, he's the doctor to go to because Capricorn rules the teeth. He is an artist by nature in the physical sense as he does reconstructive dentistry. He also makes authentic native weapons, tools, that you cannot put a price on . . as we are Cherokee Indian from Cherokee, North Carolina.

All Capricorn's have this physical creativity that can produce a physical product. It's artistic like sculpture as Capricorn rules rocks, mountains, earth, matter and form.

This aspect has speech and writing skills, which also makes it a great time to sit down or call someone up and say, "Honey we need to talk." Go ahead and have that tough conversation because you have a better chance of being understood, heard and received.

This aspect reveals a soft or musical quality in one's voice that is minus a defensive posture that usually carries skepticism from the Capricorn who typically says, "Yeah . . riiiiight!" to just about everything.

If making nice, making-up or just getting on with Life and setting down the armor is in order, this aspect has a knack for negotiation, mediating, counseling and bringing relationships back together.
