Tend to the needs of parents and children. Family comes first right now. Monetary issues can wait, especially since a new source of income may be coming your way. Share your thoughts and affections with those closest to you right now. You may feel a heightened sensitivity right now and a need to get in touch with yourself. Time spent alone can be productive, allowing you to take stock of your own talents and abilities. Don't let your heart lead your brain unreasonably. Prioritize what needs to be accomplished and find out the best way to do so.

Sweet relief! On Saturday, Mercury ends its retrograde and powers ahead in your partnership zone, clearing up crossed wires and misunderstandings that have lingered since November 9. If someone’s behavior confused you, expect the “why” to emerge now. But don’t let smooth talk override your intuition. Use this reset to restate your needs and revisit boundaries that slipped during the retrograde. Your allure is only getting MORE irresistible starting Sunday, as your ruler, romantic Venus, shifts in your eighth house of intimacy and seduction until December 24. This is the time each year when your mojo kicks into overdrive. Since hosting Venus here can make you possessive (and obsessive), save your erotic superpowers for someone who’s open to getting serious. If there are no candidates in the running, channel that energy into a creative interest or spiritual pursuit: You could collide with your soulmate at a jam session or drop-in life-drawing class. Already attached? More private playtime and pillow talk is a must.
