Scandals, upheavals, revelations: what will the Mercurial week from December 8 to 14 bring us
Kyiv • UNN
Astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko predicts a week under the influence of Mercury, with tense and fateful aspects. Information leaks, scandals, natural anomalies, increased accident rates, and military escalation are expected, especially on December 10-11.

This week can safely be called Mercurial — it is Mercury that sets the tone for events, forming extremely intense and fateful aspects. Its movement will determine the information field, political processes, the work of state structures, and even the course of military operations. Ksenia Bazylenko, a professional astrologer, told UNN readers about this, as well as what the stars have prepared for each Zodiac sign.
Chronology of Mercury's movement and its influence
December 8 — Mercury gains speed.
The first day of the week opens up positive opportunities for us:
- conduct important negotiations;
- successful public speaking;
- pass exams;
- draw clear conclusions and plan for the future.
This is the most constructive day of the week, says the astrologer.
December 10-11 — Mercury in conjunction with the Black Moon (Lilith) in opposition to Uranus.
"This is the most dangerous period of the week, and it is precisely what forms the main upheavals," said Ksenia Bazylenko.
The conjunction of the planets will bring us:
- explosive lies, information dumps;
- scandals that will instantly engulf the information space;
- provocations;
- natural anomalies, risk of hurricanes, earthquakes;
- increased accident rate in transport, especially in aviation;
- danger of air strikes.
During this period, according to the astrologer, it will be difficult to conclude any agreements, because everything will be distorted, agreements will be destroyed.
People will feel tension these days, emotional breakdowns, wrong decisions are possible, there will be many unjustified illusions and deceptions.
December 12 — Mercury moves into Sagittarius.
"After the depth and darkness of Scorpio, Mercury rises into Sagittarius, and thoughts become wider, clearer, but... this will happen after the most difficult peak of the week, so the feeling of relief will come gradually," believes astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko.
December 14 — Mercury forms a powerful aspect to Pluto.
This is a day of the power of words and the power of thought. Loud statements, international speeches, important analytical conclusions may be made.
"But these words do not arise out of nowhere — they are a consequence of previous scandals and revelations," the astrologer emphasizes.
Horoscope for Ukraine: a week of scandals, dangers and military tension
The first half of the week may be accompanied by military escalation. A tense aspect in Ukraine's astrological chart means a possible escalation at the front, increased shelling, depletion of resources, and increased pressure on the military leadership.
Also, during the week, political scandals and resonant revelations may erupt in Ukraine, management structures may be affected by crisis phenomena, a drop in the level of trust in the authorities and resignations in the highest echelons of power are possible.
December 11 and 12 will be especially tense for Ukraine. On these days, in addition to all risks, shadow agreements are possible.
"No matter how loud the words of the powerful of this world may be, they will not yield real results. This is an information explosion, not a diplomatic agreement," the astrologer emphasizes.
Subsequently, the situation will change and we will feel the activation of our allies and partners. Perhaps important resources that we desperately need will arrive.
