Jupiter's opposition to Mercury on December 4 and its recurrence on December 27 marks a period of intense intellectual and communicative activity, but one that is accompanied by challenges. Something said or agreed early in the month may return at Christmas in a more intense form, highlighting any weaknesses or mistakes in the way we communicate, negotiate or perceive situations.
This aspect strongly affects the second decanates of the signs, from the 13th to the 17th degrees, urging us to be careful of excesses and misunderstandings. Jupiter inflates the desire for truth and growth, while Mercury demands logic and proper communication. In this tension, it is easy to exaggerate or say more than we should.
Let's see how the signs are affected and what they should watch out for:
—
Aries - Libra
Communication and travel will be your focus. Be careful how you express your ideas, especially in matters of study, counselling or legal procedures. Don't promise more than you can deliver. During the holidays, avoid heated confrontations with relatives or in discussions that require subtlety.
Tip: Focus on clear, structured communication. Don't ignore details in your travel and agreements.
—
Taurus - Scorpio
Economics and common values are under pressure. Disagreements about money, inheritances or joint investments may arise. Avoid hasty financial decisions or wasteful spending early in the month as you may regret it late in the month.
Tip: Focus on transparency and common understanding when discussing financial matters. Plan your finances wisely.
—
Gemini - Sagittarius
Relationships and partnerships come under the microscope. There may be misunderstandings or disagreements that will require a diplomatic approach. Don't take criticism personally and try to avoid overdoing it in your relationships, especially early in the month.
Tip: Stay flexible and open to dialogue, avoiding the need to always be right.
—
Cancer - Capricorn
Health and daily life issues may be of great concern to you. Beware of excessive work or demands on yourself. Focus on maintaining a balance between rest and obligations.
Tip: Focus on small, achievable steps for your daily life and don't get carried away by inner concerns.
—
Leo - Aquarius
Your creativity and friendships are in a period of review. There may be tensions in social groups or in your relationship with loved ones. Don't let your pride lead you to overreact.
Tip: Seek a balance between your personal needs and the expectations of others.
—
Virgo - Pisces
Your family and career are in the foreground. You may feel torn between your professional ambitions and the needs of the home. Avoid letting your emotions override logic in your decisions.
Tip: Organise your time to satisfy both areas without becoming exhausted.

The recurrence of this aspect invites us to look more deeply into the issues that arise at the beginning of the month, so that we are prepared to deal with them with greater wisdom and maturity during the holidays. Let us avoid the pitfalls of excess and emphasize clarity and understanding.
