Unapologetic Grace: Retrograde Revelations in a Cosmic Cocktail Finale

As we start to bid adieu to the year 2023, let’s do it with flair and extravagance. Buckle up for the final Mercury retrograde of 2023, a bombastic new moon in  Sagittarius, aka. a cosmic escapade dripping with the essence of Grace Jones— the epitome of fearless individuality. Get ready for a week infused with the audacious spirit of Sagittarius, featuring a new moon coupled with warrior-like Mars. But first, a word of wisdom from the wild child herself:

“I don’t really care what people think of me. I’ve always been a bit of a wild child.”

Thoughts align, and feelings harmonise as Mercury dances with Venus, this Monday. Follow your heart, embrace what you love, and navigate the professional waters with finesse.

Midweek, Sagittarius, the truth speaker, hosts a new moon extravaganza. It’s time to be outspoken and manifest your wildest dreams. With Mars as a cosmic companion, channel your inner warrior and shoot for the moon; if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Jupiter, the planetary ruler of this new moon, opposite Venus, adds a Midas touch to love, pleasure, and unseen depths. But beware of Neptune — stay high on life, not substances. The divine aspect to the North Node encourages bold leaps. Plant that magic seed; the corresponding full moon in May 2024 promises golden results.

On the same day as the new moon, Mercury goes retrograde, adding a dash of confusion to our cosmic cocktail. Embrace the chaos; it may reconnect you with unfinished business and unexpected reunions. From Capricorn reversing into Sagittarius until January 2nd, this retrograde spices up the end of the year, making Christmas encounters a tad more exciting. Hold onto your receipts, especially if electronics are on your holiday shopping list. Remember, Murphy’s law reigns supreme, so relax, let loose, and maybe find yourself on Santa’s naughty list.

As the week concludes, the Sun crashes with Neptune, creating a clash between ego and dreams. Don’t be blinded by unrealistic visions; life is a journey, not an overnight sensation. Like a wave in the ocean, savour the highs and lows of life’s beautiful journey.

Embrace the cosmic dance of the last weeks of 2023 with the spirit of Grace Jones, where chaos meets manifestation, and dreams intertwine with reality. Stay bold, speak your truth, and plant those magic seeds—your journey among the stars has just begun. Until next time, let the cosmic rhythms guide you with the unapologetic grace of a wild child.
