Summary
Mercury now clears its post-retrograde shadow in Sagittarius on Dec 17, bringing fresh clarity, forward momentum, and expanded perspectives after an intense Scorpio retrograde journey. Strong Sagittarius energy is highly present this week with the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Juno all in the Archer's fiery expression. This line-up encourages openness to new information, higher pathways, and unexpected solutions, especially as we approach the Sagittarius New Moon at 28 deg on Dec 19 conjunct the Galactic Center, a powerful portal for evolutionary insight. Sagittarius wisdom invites us to consider new ways of viewing ourselves, our world, and the human experience at large. The wisdom of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit priest, philospher, theologian, and palentologist, for example, was ahead of his time in sharing how science and spirituality work together, and how love is an evolutionary force and a new kind of “fire” humanity is learning to harness. Thankfully, Mars is now exalted in Capricorn, offering grounded determination, strategic focus, and readiness to step into greater life ownership. Mars can take Mercury's visions ahead into grounded, practical manifestations, which is quite encouraging as we move through the final weeks of the year. “Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” ~ Pierre Teilhard de ChardinNew! 2026 Soul Growth Astrology Program ~ Powerful new beginnings in 2026 with Saturn-Neptune conjuction plus, 3 Mercury retrogrades, Venus retrograde, 2 Venus Star Points, 4 eclipses in 4 different astrology signs, and a lot more!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. We are going to take a look at the astrological |
| 0:05.2 | energies from December 17th until December 19th as we are fully in the midst of strong Sagittarius energies. |
| 0:14.6 | And as of today, December 17th, Mercury clears the post-retrograde shadow. Yes, this means that now Mercury is done covering that retrograde territory in your chart |
| 0:26.8 | and is moving ahead to 8 degrees of Sagittarius and beyond, opening up fresh ideas, |
| 0:34.7 | greater clarity, solutions, directions, strong communications, and perhaps even |
| 0:40.8 | feeling that things are lightening up in some areas of your world. Mercury rules not only |
| 0:47.2 | what we think, say, ponder and consider, but Mercury in the fire sign of Sagittarius wants to know more, wants to learn more, |
| 0:57.7 | wants to expand and grow into new understandings. This would be a healthy expression of Mercury |
| 1:04.5 | and Sagittarius. So this would be a good time period to stay open to new information and understandings that the universe is |
| 1:13.7 | probably delivering to you for a reason. It's exactly what you haven't considered or thought about |
| 1:20.3 | before that could show you a higher pathway and a new direction that is waiting for you and expanding open now. |
| 1:29.8 | It could be very welcomed, especially after the intensity of that Mercury retrograde journey |
| 1:35.7 | that took us back into the Scorpio depths. |
| 1:39.3 | Well, now that Mercury moves ahead in Sagittarius until the end of this year, the universe is going to be |
| 1:45.3 | revealing to you some new inspired directions forward that could feel very encouraging, |
| 1:52.4 | exciting, and unfamiliar. Now Mercury is known for being in his detriment in Sagittarius, |
| 1:58.3 | and that's because he becomes a very big thinker who misses the details. |
| 2:02.7 | So it will be essential to review the facts, terms and conditions, specific notes, |
| 2:09.3 | all those things that can be easy to overlook because the enthusiasm of moving forward is so strong. |
| 2:16.0 | But that uplifting Sagittarius energy is very strong right now, |
| 2:20.0 | considering we have multiple planets in Sagittarius. Not only is Mercury here in the ninth |
| 2:26.2 | sign of the zodiac, but we also have Venus, Juno, and the Sun all moving through the third |
