December 26 to January 1, 2023 is the last week of the year, and you are being guided to heal much of what has hurt you, allowing you to feel like you are truly closing an important chapter, just in time for the new. year.
The weekly love horoscope for each zodiac sign is calmer, but the activity that occurs is powerful.
Starting the week, there is an alignment of Chiron in Aries with the North Node in Taurus.
This allows you to move through further healing of past relationships or childhood wounds so that you can more fully embrace the path of destiny that lies before you.
The North Node in Taurus is all about helping you choose what is stable and what truly has the capacity to continue to grow.
This sets you up for some major healing breakthroughs in whatever area of your life Aries energy represents.
As the week progresses, Mercury turns retrograde in Capricorn and the First Quarter Moon occurs in Aries.
Mercury rules all forms of communication and during retrogrades it helps you slow down so you can reevaluate the plans and agreements you’ve made. Capricorn deals with commitments and plans.
This is your chance to make sure that where you are now is where you want to be as we start a new year.
The First Lunar Quarter in Aries represents an important choice or decision that must occur for all of this to happen. There is no need to rush or force anything this week.
Instead, it’s about quieting your mind, focusing on how you’re feeling, and letting go of the quiet peace that healthy, genuine, stable love represents.
