HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, December 12, 2022. The energy for the day is high, and our spirits should be, too. If we’ve got business to finish or holiday planning to do, we can expect an easy go of it. With the year winding down and active Mars still retrograde, some plans and projects might still be slow-going, but the day still provides space to get some tasks accomplished. Brainstorming sessions and visualisation exercises can be especially productive at this time. Outside of work, the positive vibes for the day also inspires us to invite in some joy through romance and play.
