You are in a spiritual mood right now, perhaps even feeling world weary. Taking a break from the strife around you would be healthy and wise. A trip may be in order, perhaps in the company of a parent or mentor. Look inward and examine your own religious views right now. Others enjoy your company. Recently acquired/polished skills win your respect at home and at work. You will be praised for your ingenuity and problem solving abilities. Travel is a possibility and would lead to self improvement. It's time for your good deeds to reap benefits as no action of generosity goes to waste.

Group projects and friendships get a long-overdue reboot this Saturday as Mercury ends a retrograde that began November 9 and impacted your collaboration zone. Since then, coordinating with others may have felt like juggling flaming torches. Now, communication smooths out and you can reconnect with the right allies. Expect clearer signals, revived momentum and maybe even a key introduction. With Mercury direct in Scorpio until December 11, this is the moment to recommit to the teams and networks that truly get you…and release the ones that don’t. On Sunday, romantic Venus decamps to Sagittarius until December 24, spinning a dreamy web in your twelfth house of illusion and starry-eyed romance. Enjoy the sweet escape (sponsored by Cupid), but be careful not to let people take advantage of your generosity. If your partner matches your magnanimity, you’re in for an indulgent four weeks. Pamper each other, no holds barred! Warning: You may swing between extremes, seeing things through a rose-tinted filter one minute and wringing your hands over worst-case scenarios the next. Keep your supportive friends close by to help with the reality checks.
