Sagittarius Interruptus? This Wednesday the 9th, as quicksilver Mercury moves into Capricorn and your grounded second house, you'll downshift from go-go-go to super-slow-mo. You've hosted the messenger planet since November 20, and no doubt you've dreamed up some genius ideas. But don't set up the Kickstarter page just yet. Mercury's tour of Capricorn brings a dose of practical magic until January 1. Run everything through the reality filter by asking: What time, resources and people-power are required to pull off your plans? Though your impulsive sign would prefer it if Rome COULD be built in a day, technology hasn't caught up with your fantasies yet. The last thing you need is to saddle yourself with MORE work when your schedule is already bloated beyond belief. As December draws to a close, working smarter not harder is the name of the game. Simplify. Scale back. Prioritize and optimize. Holiday indulgences aside, you'll be eager to get back into a healthy routine this week. Less is absolutely more when it comes to the activities you plug into your planner. Make self-care a priority. Are you drinking eight glasses of water per day (okay, six), exercising—even if it's just a 30-minute walk—getting proper shuteye and saying no to activities that drain your batteries? This Mercury phase wants you to stop and smell the roses, so schedule some sauna time and a massage while you're at it. Pamper away!
