The year 2017 ends pretty much as it started—with a whole lot of intensity. But as per usual, the stars have got your back. From December 2 through 22, Mercury will be retrograde. That may be annoying, but it's happening to help inspire you to review and reassess your life. Take this opportunity for introspection and run with it, never forgetting to treat others with the same respect that you want to be treated with. Make sure that you don’t put any binches on a pedestal any more than you put them in a corner. Deal directly with what’s real, because the truth is true whether you want to see it or not, lovers.

SAGITTARIUS November 22–December 21
The full moon in your relationship house on the 3rd is likely to bring you some confusing but important revelations. Instead of jumping to conclusions, be interested in what’s really happening. Ask questions, and don’t interrupt when the other person is talking—no matter how tempted you are. If you’re seeking close and loving relationships, it’s time to do more listening, Sagittarius. You don’t have to be perfect to be the best version of yourself.

CAPRICORN December 22–January 19
All the love that you share with others comes from your own self-love. If you can’t tolerate sitting in your own skin, it’s going to be painful to let someone truly see you and love on what they see. In the last few weeks of December, Saturn, the sun, and Venus will all land in your sign; this will either be really comforting for you or kick up your rigidity and feelings of insecurity. You can’t control how you feel, but you can control how you act in response to your feelings. In the words of Joan Didion, “The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs." Start with that, my love.

AQUARIUS January 20–February 19
You have a lot going on beneath the surface this month, and that isn’t necessarily good or bad, but it is low-key exhausting. Don’t make it worse for yourself by checking out, Aquarius, because your feels will be waiting for you when you resurface. Deal head-on with your emotions so that you can rid yourself of resentments and other destructive distractions and create actual solutions. The best way to move into your future is to make your present a better reflection of who you are and what you care about. Close out 2017 by investigating where you’re doing that, and where you've gotten off track.
