Why December 7 Will Be the Worst Day of the Month

Brace yourself as Dec. 7 is going to be a very intense day.

Many planetary shifts and changes are causing havoc not just in the sky but also in our personal lives. We may demand more attention and affection from others — which there isn’t anything wrong with — but the tone and way we go about it will matter. The pickle is that we don’t want to back down and cross boundaries as a result.

Try to lead with an open heart and mind. Be less judgmental and assertive. Be more gentle and understanding. The energy is contagious — pay it forward with compassion!

Here’s a breakdown of all the forces at play on Dec. 7.

The Sun Opposes Jupiter

When the Sun, which represents our ego, opposes an expensive planet like Jupiter, it can escalate matters. Being that the Sun is currently in Sagittarius, who’s argumentative, and Jupiter is retrograde in the sign of Gemini, which focuses on the main minutia, we might want to pick at situations that aren't a big deal, but make them seem as though it is the most important thing in the world — even if it’s not.

Venus Enters Aquarius and Aligns with Pluto

Venus moves into the Air sign Aquarius, making our emotions more aloof; however, on this particular day, the romantic planet connects with Pluto, intensifying our sentiments. Passions will be at a high as well as power struggles with others. The need to control loved ones could lead to manipulative tactics.

Neptune Turns Direct

Neptune, which has been moonwalking in Pisces since July 2, moves forward today. This is a turning point for the elusive planet because we have seen relationships and ourselves clearly during the retrograde. Now, deceptions will heighten creating a lot of confusion and ambiguity in our lives. Uncertainty and fear can hold us back from making decisions and taking chances.

Three Planets Are Retrograde

Three planets are still retrograde: Mercury‘s backslide in Sagittarius creates miscommunication, travel delays, and technological issues. Mars’s about-face in Leo affects our stamina and adds passive-aggressiveness to the mix. Uranus’s regression in Taurus is slowing down the growth we are making as a society and individuals.

Putting them all together, there will be internal frustrations that come to the surface when we are being poked by something minor. Little hiccups could lead to a big argument, which is why we should say our lanes and be mindful of the energy we are putting out into the universe.

The Moon Is in Pisces

The Moon in Pisces makes us intuitive, but also phobic and sensitive to what's to come. Since Mercury retrograde is coming to the Moon, we might react in an extremely emotional way. On the flip side, it could make us want to hide from reality and escape to our own world.

Aries

Trouble might be brewing in your squad, so make sure you're connecting with the members on a one-on-one basis, rather than in a group dynamic to suss out the vibe. It will be easier to discuss your feelings with people individually because they'll want to share the details that others may wish to keep under wraps for the time being (until they’re ready to engage).

Taurus

You may feel as though a career opportunity has passed you by and gone to someone else less deserving of it. Before you begin to spin out of control, know that other jobs are coming that you're better suited for. You might get a position or promotion better than the current one, which is more in line with your goals. Try to think positively, Taurus.

Gemini

Being on your high horse could create conflict with others because they'll notice that you have a superiority complex. Although that is the opposite of the energy that you want to give off; that is how they interpret your actions. Use humor as a means to smooth things out. A laugh will do everyone good — especially if it cuts the tension and brings better energy.

Cancer

You're not one to take the kindness of others for granted, but you may have forgotten to send a thank you note for an early holiday present to a friend. As a result, they’re feeling slighted by the lack of appreciation and send a heated text your way. You’ll be able to put the fire out as long as you respond with TLC and appreciation.

Leo

Triangular situations could reach a boiling point, creating conflict with those you hold near and dear. Be on the lookout for people engaging in clandestine connections. You might find that the discovery is shocking but serves as a wake-up call to how you wish to proceed. The universe is pointing matters out for a reason — so pay attention to what you are being shown.

Virgo

Competition may arise with coworkers, inciting them to take credit for your ideas. Make sure that you keep it friendly with your colleagues to ensure that they’re not being shady and acting unethically. If they choose to be unruly, you should keep notes of their behavior and speak up about it when the time is right to a third party that can help you out.

Libra

If someone's artistry inspires your creative work, make sure that you give them the recognition they deserve. Failure to cite them as a source of encouragement could lead to drama down the road because they might take measures to ensure they are giving acknowledgment for their ideas. Always give credit where it is due, and be generous with how you do so. Karma is real.

Scorpio

To have the dynamic you crave at home, you’ll have to defy the upbringing you had. Although this might cause problems with your immediate family, they will understand that you are a person who has different beliefs and perspectives. In the end, you will be able to come together as long as you are open about your feelings and aim to sort them out together.

Sagittarius

Your words have more power than you know, so you should be careful in what you say. Think three times before opening your mouth and sending a text. You might find that editing your messages is best to be kinder in how you approach others. Not rubbing others the wrong way is vital, especially with all of the planetary retrogrades currently occurring in the cosmos.

Capricorn

If you owe someone money, now is the time to make the best arrangements to settle the debt. Not doing so will create conflict and make them harbor resentment toward you. Be honest about your financial situation, and they'll respect you for your directness — even if you don't have the funds to repay them. You’ll earn points for the responsible way you chose to handle matters.

Aquarius

We all have skeletons in the closet. The caveat is that yours are coming out to play today and other people are able to sweep their indiscretions under the rug. Before you run away and hide, the best advice is to be unapologetic about the past. What is important is how you act in the present and future. Former mistakes do not define you, Aquarius.

Pisces

Running your mouth has consequences, especially when you're the source of the gossip. Even if you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you might feel paranoid and fess up to the situation before anyone confronts you. It’s ok to be messy every so often, but be careful that your actions aren’t hurting anyone. Clear it quickly by apologizing for your behavior ASAP.
