Weekly Psychic Readings for Each Zodiac Sign: December 10–16

On Tuesday evening, a new moon in Sagittarius rules your confidence in yourself and your faith in the universe. No matter how bleak the future may seem, or how bleak the prospect may seem right now, this week’s new moon invites you to keep moving forward and hold on to your hope. Then, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Mercury begins retrograde in Capricorn. Now is the time to slow down: Instead of starting new projects, think about the past year. Give yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished, whether that means big accomplishments or just getting one piece done. Mercury begins to move forward on New Year’s Day. Until then, take your foot off the desk.

You try not to think about things you can’t control – you know it’s nothing more than an exercise in frustration. But lately, you’ve been worried. You have a painful feeling that one wrong step could hurt other people or ruin your reputation or ruin your entire future, and it’s more important than ever to do things ” right”. This week, try to remove some of this pressure from yourself. It comes to you, after all. Perfection has never been your responsibility, and it is not now. Find (or create) spaces where you can safely experiment and take risks. You’re fine, you just need a chance to breathe.

Lately, you can’t look away from all the sad things in the world, and you have to deal with the dark parts of yourself. It feels impossible to escape from it, find joy in what you usually do, even imagine a future where life will be easy and beautiful again. But this week, you can be sure. You don’t need proof of the above; just remember you’re still standing. The fact that nothing has been able to defeat you – you are keeping your love and your humanity – is a good sign that nothing can.

This week, it’s important to start any new friendships or relationships off on the right foot. You have the opportunity to set the tone for the future, so make the most of it. Don’t allow small problems to be fixed in the hope that they will be fixed later, or ignore problems that could prove to be business interruptions. down the line. Get straight from the start who you are, what you’re looking for, and how much time you (and don’t) have available. The more honest you are in the beginning, the better the chance that the relationship will flourish.

Sometimes, taking care of yourself means putting up walls: refusing to be with people you know will bring you down, avoiding the news, protecting your heart from all the bad, ugly things , and injustice in the world. This week, however, hiding from sadness is likely to leave you feeling empty and unhappy. Instead of avoiding dangerous and uncertain situations, welcome them. Rise to the challenges the universe sends your way. When the situation calls for it, you can be as strong and courageous as anyone. Maybe you just need a reminder.

You may have struggled with overthinking things, lately. The more you want to do the right thing – for yourself, for other people, for the world – the harder it is to know what that looks like. You are well aware of all the mistakes you can make and the traps you fall into; you worry that every step you take is wrong. This week, try to give your brain a break. At least, slow down. Bring magic back into your life by following your instincts, instead.

You might be a little vulnerable this week, talk freely, confess your feelings before you do, pour your heart out to the “wrong” person. It’s scary to be an open book, to feel less in control of how you present yourself to the world. But just because it’s scary doesn’t mean it’s bad. In fact, you can gain strength from weakness. When you let go of your desire to always be nice and polite, you can start taking risks, show yourself more authentically, and create opportunities for new and deeper intimacy.

At this time, it is a challenge for you to focus on all the daily tasks that require your attention. Who cares about sending emails or decorating the kitchen when the world is on fire? Your mind is on the bigger picture, and by comparison, work seems trivial and depressing, selfish at worst. But it is important to take care of them. This week, make a point of taking care of the little things; Not because you’re a perfect person, or because you care about your to-do list more than anything else, but because this is how you build a strong foundation to tackle the important things. .

Your practice has served you well, allowing you to focus on what’s most important to you and prevent you from being distracted by the flights of fancy and difficult dreams. . This week, however, your efforts to be honest can interfere with courage, obstacles, life to the fullest. Remember that you are allowed to be assertive in your desires, to set goals that may not be successful and to be ambitious. You are capable of more than you know. If you stop trying so hard to protect yourself from failure, you will eventually start enjoying yourself.

You can’t please everyone either. There is no perfect combination of words that you can say that everyone can agree on, no action that will gain universal approval, no way to live in the world without doing something, i something, you think you are wrong. When you try to avoid all punishment or disapproval, you only end up with the parts of yourself that are most special. So, this week, don’t worry about how your actions will be perceived. Other people’s opinions are their business. All you can do is live your life without shame.

You have high standards for others, and higher standards for yourself. You try to be dedicated and focused at all times, staying disciplined in times of stress and sadness. But you’re only human, and sometimes you need to make progress so you can think and dream and play. This week, especially, make it easy on yourself. You’ve been through a lot lately, and you need to process it all. You can start moving forward again soon, but for now, rest.

Connecting with other people will enrich your life. The stress of a larger life is unpredictable and, at times, more stressful, and what you want right now is stability and ease. You may be tempted to close yourself off this week, to protect yourself from the chaos and drama of relationships, but try to stay open. You need communication more than you know, and the stress of dealing with people will not be nearly as bad as you fear.

You get a chance to prove yourself this week. If you have ever wished you were brave, you will have a chance to test your courage. If you’ve ever wanted to be happy, you’ve got the chance to shake things up. You can remind your friends (and yourself) that you shouldn’t take things for granted. However, nothing will happen by itself: It is up to you to rise to the occasion.
