Discover Your Destiny: December 2023 Horoscopes for Every Zodiac Sign

Happy birthday, Sag! The month gets off to a quick start on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of wealth and personal values. This is an excellent time to pull focus toward your finances, your sense of self-worth, and the things that really bring value to your life. Initiate conversations in these arenas using Capricorn’s practical, disciplined energy: Take a stand for your boundaries and needs, ask for a raise by explaining how you add value to the company, and logically budget time for more travel, connection with friends, poetry—whatever it is that you love. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas of your life; what beliefs around money or about your own value are ready for a refresh? These will require reassessment during this time, so open yourself to the lesson, but hold off on investments or financial agreements until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius, your house of independence, vitality, and public image. What beliefs about you as a stand-alone figure require your review? Are there beliefs that limit you feeling confident and vivacious? What conversations are needed to get you in the spotlight more often? The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but be ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of mental health, the subconscious, and secrets. This is a beautiful time to excavate how relationships, love, and money impact your mental health and whether you’ve been suppressing anything in these areas. You may also engage in secret affairs or have taboo exchanges. Secrets around money could come up as well. December is a social time, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of independence, vitality, and public image. You’ll close the year out feeling yourself, soaking up attention, and knowing what makes you unique. If a solo trip feels right moving into the new year, go for it.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of independence, vitality, and public image. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially in your sense of individuality or how you show up in the world. If you were planning a public appearance, any physical changes (elective surgeries, haircuts, etc.), or to launch something related to your brand during this time, I would suggest rescheduling. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to express your unique sensibilities creatively, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Your planetary ruler, Jupiter, is receiving a gorgeous beam from both Saturn and Mercury, as it simultaneously opposes Venus. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations, along with a sense of stability or help from authority figures. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay open to learning about resilience, creativity, and faith—especially in anything that positions you as a solo act. Love, wealth, and beauty are all possible with this New Moon.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a more grounded, goal-focused energy to your house of wealth and self-worth. This will be helpful because on that same day, Venus opposes Uranus, bringing rebellion and surprise to all things love and money. Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to money matters, your personal value, or to the things that mean the most in your life (particularly anything goal related). You’ll get more helpful tips for building a strong financial foundation on the 24^th, and big luck in money and/or confidence on the 27^th.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of release/transformation and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of wealth and self-worth, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter, your planetary ruler. At the same time, Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius will make a beautiful connection to the North Node. Taken altogether, this looks like a wonderful financial opportunity that is coming to fruition, helping you make forward strides. Another way this might look is you drawing on your self-worth in order to walk away from or change a situation that isn’t serving you. Although that doesn’t sound fun necessarily, if that were to arise, it would have the potential to bring you tremendous blessings. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, the planet of long-term success and achievement. Cancer also oversees family, so these scenarios may relate to your familial relationships. You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

On the 1^st of the month, Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of independence, vitality, and public image. Using your practical, disciplined energy, now is the time to invest in the things that build your confidence as an individual, strengthen your body and spirit, and put you in the spotlight. Initiate conversations or think up plans in these arenas using your logical, disciplined energy: Budget time to invest in the things that make you happy and unique, create a routine that serves your health, talk to people who can get you and your ideas into the public eye, etc. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas of your life; what about your independence isn’t working or needs a refresh? How can you support a feeling of vivaciousness in a new way? Do you want to be in the spotlight more or less often, and how can you give that to yourself? Now is a great time to brainstorm, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius, and your house of mental health, the subconscious, and secrets. Are there beliefs hiding out in the shadows of your psyche that now need to come into focus? Is your self-talk negatively impacting your mental health? Are secrets from the past requiring a new take? The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. This is a beautiful time to socialize with groups, bring a creative project to a larger audience, slide into someone’s DMs, or make moves toward achieving goals in money or relationships. December is a social time, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of mental health, secrets, and the subconscious. As we close out the year, take some time to think about how relationships, love, and money impact your mental health and whether you’ve been suppressing anything in these areas. You may also engage in secret affairs or have taboo exchanges to bring in the New Year.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of mental health, secrets, and the subconscious. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially around secrets or unhealed parts of your subconscious that work behind the scenes to keep you involved in unhealthy cycles. If this is the case, I would recommend doing a deep dive with your therapist to find out what lies at the root of this. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to strengthen your spirituality or align more deeply with your own authentic truth, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Your planetary ruler, Saturn, is receiving a gorgeous beam from both Jupiter and Venus, who are opposing each other. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay open to healing your heart and mind, and to feeling enchanted by the beauty of the season.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing you self-love, a need for individuality, and a desire to take center stage. This is interesting because on that same day, Venus opposes Uranus, causing rebellion and surprise in all things love and money. You may not feel like playing by anyone else’s rules in relationships or financial matters during this time and decide you want to be a solo act. Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to your individuality or public image—this is a great time to make a public announcement or speak your truth as well. You’ll get more helpful tips for building a strong foundation for your independence or brand on the 24^th, and huge luck in confidence on the 27^th.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of partnerships (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.). As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of individuality and self, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter. At the same time, Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius will make a beautiful connection to the North Node. Taken altogether, this looks like a very helpful conversation with a partner of some kind that will help the two of you create a solid foundation and move forward in a fortuitous way. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, your planetary ruler, showering you with even more celestial support. Cancer also rules the family, so this may relate to your familial relationships in some way. You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

Impact of Mercury

On the 1^st, Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of mental health, secrets, and the subconscious. Using Capricorn’s practical, disciplined energy, invest in the conversations and ideas that can bolster your mental health or expose anything that’s been hiding out in the shadows of your psyche (working with a therapist is a great way to do this). You may also be prone to telling secrets now, especially about money or in your career, since Capricorn rules these areas. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas of your life; Are there beliefs, fears or emotions like jealousy or rage that you’re ready to stop suppressing? Is your self-talk negatively impacting your mental health? Are secrets from the past requiring a new take? Now is a great time to brainstorm, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. Miscommunications with friends, community members, or the people in your audience (if you have any platforms) are possible now, but it may also be time to refresh how you think about your place with your friends or in any groups you belong to. (Are they *really* your friends?) Technology may be especially wonky for you now, so back up everything. And if there’s a limiting belief you have around your aspirations for the future, now’s the time to see it for what it is and start in on the healing process. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

 Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of career, impact on the public, and legacy. This is a beautiful time to fall in love with your work, make a romantic connection at the office, bring a creative project to the forefront, or make more money doing what you love. December is a social time, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. As we bring in the New Year, get ready to socialize with larger groups, bring a creative project into pubic view, slide into someone’s DMs, or make moves toward achieving goals in money or relationships.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially around your friendships or social circles. You may also experience a disappointment around a goal you set. Should this be the case, just know that this is coming up not to punish you, but to shed light on an issue that wants to be resolved with those in your circle. If you’re struggling to realize your aspirations, just know that sometimes we don’t get what we want because it’s not the right time or the right offering. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to connect with a group that encourages your creative efforts, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Your planetary co-ruler, Saturn, is receiving a gorgeous beam from both Jupiter and Venus, who are opposing each other. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay open to learning whatever lesson arises while you engage fully with the joy of the season and all the wonderful people who surround you now.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a flashlight into your house of secrets and subconscious feelings, needs and desires.

Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, revealing secrets or bringing big “ah ha” moments to the subconscious beliefs that impact your mental health.

At the same time, Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius will make a beautiful connection to the North Node. Taken altogether, it looks like something that’s been hidden (whether that’s an emotion you’ve been carrying, or a secret) will have a light shone on it. It may relate to your health, work, money, contracts, or pets. This is a good time for this—it will help you create a solid foundation and move forward in a fortuitous way. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, your planetary co-ruler, showering you with even more celestial support.

On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas of your life. Miscommunications with friends, community members, or the people in your audience are possible now, but it may also be time to refresh how you think about your place with your friends or in any groups you belong to.

More Impact of Mercury

These areas may require your review now. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

 Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of expansion. This house oversees long-distance travel, relationships with people from overseas (personal and professional), publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality. This is a beautiful time to take a trip with a loved one, fall in love with someone from another culture or at school, make money through an international company, go to school for a creative pursuit, or feel deeply into your spirituality. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month.

There is a substantial possibility for gain: While on of your planetary co-rulers, Neptune, is in a difficult relationship to the Sun and Moon, your other planetary co-ruler, Jupiter, is receiving a gorgeous beam from both Saturn and Mercury, while it opposes Venus. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations along with a sense of stability or help from authority figures.

Whatever the case—it will help you create a solid foundation, feel grounded, and move forward in a fortuitous way. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn in your sign, showering you with even more celestial support.

 Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). This is a powerful time to let go of people who have been holding you back, experience transformation in your relationships and money situations, fire up a sexy connection, or make money through loans, inheritances, etc. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month.

In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment. You may be disappointed about a school application or publication/podcast opportunity, feel exhausted by travel, have the wool pulled over your eyes by someone from overseas or an overseas company, or become obsessed with a deceptive spiritual pursuit. This is a good time to move slowly and wait for more information; even a rejection is just a pit stop before the right opportunity comes along. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to grow creatively in any of the areas this house oversees or getting your creative efforts into the world in a bigger way, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion.

As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of career, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter, who’s currently residing in your house of wealth. At the same time, Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius will make a beautiful connection to the North Node. Taken altogether, it looks like money or a sense of being valued is coming to you from your career sector. Meanwhile, Mars, your planetary ruler, is joining up with Mercury in your 9^th house, suggesting you’ll be talking with people from overseas, planning/taking a long trip, or taking on a publishing/broadcasting project. Whatever the case—it will help you create a solid foundation, feel grounded, and move forward in a fortuitous way. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn. This could be wonderful for your physical home, setting you up for a lovely living situation. Cancer also rules the family—one potential snag here is being overly focused on work in a way that puts your family on the backburner.

 Impact of Mercury

We’re already in full motion on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of expansion. This house oversees long-distance travel, relationships (personal and professional) with people from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality. Using Capricorn’s practical, disciplined energy, invest in the conversations and ideas that support your ability to expand—through travel, connections with people or companies from around the world, spreading your message to the masses, gaining knowledge, or deepening your sense of oneness with the world. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas of your life. Be careful of miscommunications in any of these areas, but also, be open to rethinking your relationship to the idea of expansiveness. Have you been shying away from growth in these areas? It’s a great time to review and brainstorm, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). Miscommunications or misunderstandings in any of these areas are possible, but you may also want to reconsider how you want to show up in this area of your life. Do you avoid leaving situations you know aren’t working? Have you been misusing your sexuality or hiding from it? Are you sharing your finances in a way that is greedy or too selfless? These areas may require your review now. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of partnerships (best friends, significant others, business partners, therapists, etc.). This is a beautiful time to connect with the one-on-one relationships that bring love, creativity, and/or money into your life in a more meaningful way. Open your heart to deep connection with your loves or look for one-on-one relationships with business coaches and other individuals who are invested in your success. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). The close of the year is a powerful time to let go of anyone who has been holding you back, experience transformation in your relationships and money situations, fire up a sexy connection, or make money through loans, inheritances, etc.

 Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially around having to let a person or situation go, in your sexual relationships, or in money matters. Should this be the case, know that this is coming up not to punish you, but to shed light on an issue that is ready to be released, even if it feels lonely or embarrassing. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to grow creatively or to connect with your authentic truth, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Venus, your planetary ruler, will receive a gorgeous beam from both Saturn and Mercury as it opposes Jupiter. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations along with a sense of stability or help from authority figures. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay open to learning the lessons of release and resilience with the understanding that big growth is possible for you now.

 Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a sense of groundedness and a focus on goals into your house of expansion. This house oversees long-distance travel, publishing and broadcasting, educational pursuits, relationships with people or companies from overseas, and spirituality. This is interesting because the next day, Venus opposes Uranus, causing rebellion and surprise in all things love, creativity, and money (perhaps related to a publishing opportunity, a relationship with someone from overseas, a financial matter with an overseas company, etc.) Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to your sense of expansion. You’ll get more helpful tips for building strong foundations in these areas on the 24^th, and a huge boost in your confidence and ability to expand on the 27^th.

Impact of the Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of personal communication, neighbors, and siblings. As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of expansion (travel, broadcasting, publishing etc.) while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter. At the same time, Venus, your planetary ruler, will make a fabulous connection to Neptune. This would be a perfect time for romance, relaxation, spirituality, and creativity. If you have any creative writing or speaking projects, this is an excellent time to engross yourself in those. You may also pursue, chat about, or consider a spiritual endeavor. Time spent with siblings or neighbors would feel very relaxing and grounding at this time. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, setting you up for long-term success and a sense of being grounded and secure. Cancer also rules the family and our most tender feelings, so these themes may also be at play in some way (spending time with family, writing about family, creating chosen family, etc.). You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

Impact of Mercury

The astrology is already in full swing on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). Using Capricorn’s practical, disciplined energy, invest in the conversations and ideas that support your ability to let go of what no longer supports you so that you can embrace what does. Conversations around sex or shared monies will likely also spike now. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas of your life. Be careful of miscommunications in any of these areas, but also, be open to rethinking your beliefs around loss, reviewing your sexuality, hearing from past sexual partners, and/or rethinking the best way to distribute your financial resources. It’s a great time to brainstorm, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of partnership (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.). Miscommunications or misunderstandings with these people are possible, but you may also hear from past partners or need to revisit issues from the past with these people. Your personal beliefs about partnership may also need a refresh. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours but ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

 Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of work, health, and daily activities (including pet care). This is a beautiful time to make more money at work (raise your rates or ask for a raise!), make friends or romantic connections at the office, invest in your health, create a loving relationship with a pet, volunteer for a cause you care about, or beautify your day-to-day life (in whatever way that means to you). Making space for more love in your day-to-day life is also part of this chemistry. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of partnerships (best friends, significant others, business partners, therapists, etc.). The close of the year and the beginning of 2024 is a beautiful time to connect with the one-on-one relationships that bring love, creativity, and/or money into your life in a more meaningful way. Open your heart to deep connection with your loves or look for one-on-one relationships with business coaches and other individuals who are invested in your success.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of partnerships. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially in your closest one-on-one relationships. Should this be the case, know that this is coming up not to punish you, but to shed light on an issue that wants to be worked through and resolved so that you can experience more intimacy or success (with someone else, if deception is at play). On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to connect with your authentic truth in your partnerships, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Mercury, your planetary ruler, will receive a gorgeous beam from both Venus and Jupiter, while they oppose each other. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay open to learning the lessons of relationship repair and resilience. While challenges are possible, this Moon rides in on a wave of celebration.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a sense of groundedness and a focus on goals into your house of loss, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, etc.). This is interesting because the next day, Venus opposes Uranus, causing rebellion, a need for freedom, and surprise in all things love and money (perhaps related to your shared finances, sexual relationships, or the sudden letting go of a person or situation in your life). Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to this house. You’ll get more helpful tips for building strong foundations in these areas on the 24^th, and a huge boost in your confidence and ability let go, spark up a sexy connection, or land on a great financial plan on the 27^th.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of wealth and personal value. As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of release/transformation, sexuality, and shared resources (split bills, loans, inheritances, taxes, etc.), while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter. At the same time, Mercury, your planetary ruler, will team up with Mars while receiving a gorgeous beam from the North Node. Taken altogether, this is a fabulous time to take a leadership role and move forward with anything related to money, sex, or knowing your self-worth. It may involve releasing or changing a situation, but with Jupiter sending such a gorgeous beam to the Sun, whatever moves you make now will be imbued with celestial blessings. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, setting you up for long-term success and a sense of being grounded and secure. Cancer also rules the family, so this may involve family members, chosen family, or future family members. You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

Impact of Mercury

December’s astrology kicks off on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of partnership (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.). Using Capricorn’s practical, disciplined energy, invest in the conversations and ideas that support thriving relationships with the people you’re closest to. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review your partnerships. Miscommunications or misunderstandings with these people are possible, but you may also hear from past partners or need to revisit issues from the past with these people. Your personal beliefs about partnership may also need a refresh to let go of any outdated fears or resentments. It’s a great time to brainstorm and review, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th.

Miscommunications at the office are possible, so be sure to dot your i’s and cross your t’s. It may also be time to review your health practices to see what’s working and what isn’t, and if your daily routines are leaving you exhausted, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled, now’s the time to reimagine your day-to-day. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours but ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. This is a beautiful time to ignite a sexy, taboo, or secretive connection (Scorpio loves these areas), express secrets crushes or hidden feelings, focus in on the children you love, or go on a lavish getaway with a loved one. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th.

Making space for more love in your day-to-day life is also part of this chemistry. These themes will guide you out of 2023 and into the new year.

Impact of New Moon

In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially at the office. You might also experience a sense of exhaustion in your health, or the feeling that day-to-day life is just sort of dragging. Should this be the case, know that this is coming up to shed light on an issue that wants to be worked through and resolved, whether in the work you do, in your health regimen, or in the way you structure your routine. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to make your work life more creative or bring spirituality in your daily world. especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of individuality and self. As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of partnerships (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.), while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter. At the same time, the Moon, your planetary ruler, will send a lovely beam to Saturn. Taken altogether, this could look like taking a trip with a best friend or significant other, speaking with a religious figure in a way that expands your spiritual beliefs, or have a therapy session that deepens your understanding of how you show up in your closest relationships (as examples). Whatever the case, it will be grounding for you, and create a sense of security. Because we’re in Cancer and Cancer rules the family, this may involve family members, chosen family, or future family members. You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

Impact of Mercury

On the 1^st, Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of work, health, and daily routines.

You may decide to get more serious about your health during this time, or to implement a daily routine that leaves you feeling more excited and energetic. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas. Miscommunications at the office are possible, so be sure to dot your i’s and cross your t’s.

More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. You may need to rethink how you express your truth (both creatively and interpersonally), romantic partners from your past may resurface, issues with children may come to the surface to be addressed, or you may need to reimagine your overall relationship to fun. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of home and family. This is a gorgeous time to connect with your family and chosen family, find financial opportunities via family members, beautify and/or invest in your home, and bring loved ones into your home through parties, etc. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially around a romance, an attempt to speak your truth or be creative, with children, or in your efforts to have fun. Slow down and regroup when your energy is stronger, and if a deception is at play, better that you find out now so you can move on. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to dive into your creativity, enter a kind of dream world, or connect more deeply with your spirituality, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: The Sun, your planetary ruler, is in a gorgeous connect to the North Node, and Jupiter, the planetary ruler of this Moon, is receiving a lovely beam from Mercury as it opposes Venus.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of secrets and mental health. As this happens, the Sun, your planetary ruler, will oppose the Moon from your house of work, health, pets, and routines, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter.

Taken altogether, it looks like something that’s been hidden (whether that’s an emotion you’ve been carrying, or a secret, or something that’s been going on behind the scenes) will have a light shone on it. It may relate to your health, work, money, contracts, or pets. This is a good time for this—it will help you create a solid foundation and move forward in a fortuitous way. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, establishing a sense of security and groundedness.

Impact of Mercury

We hit the ground running on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. Using Capricorn’s practical, grounded energy, invest in the conversations and ideas that help you honestly speak your truth, create a long-lasting relationship to passion and romance, establish grounded connections to the children in your life, and help you take on feasible vacations. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas. You may need to rethink how you express your truth (both creatively and interpersonally), romantic partners from your past may resurface, issues with children may come to the surface to be addressed, or you may need to reimagine your overall relationship to fun (are you having enough of it? too much?).

More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of home and family. Miscommunications about your home, or with family members or roommates are possible now. You may also look backward to your childhood to see something you didn’t realize before. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. Scorpio brings a secretive energy to your communication sector, opening up potential for secrets, taboos, and sexual communications. Scorpio is also an emotionally guarded sign, so you may feel like holding your cards close to your chest during this time, especially in matters of the heart or in money—particularly when it comes to siblings and neighbors. You may also find that you get very close with a neighbor or sibling during this time. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of home and family. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment, especially around family members or your home life. You may be disappointed by someone in your family, find out a roommate has an addiction issue, or become disillusioned about something that took place in childhood. Should this energy come up, move slowly, go deep into self-care, and give yourself a minute to regroup. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to channel your creativity into your home and family, or to deepen your spirituality in your home, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Mercury, your planetary ruler, will receive a gorgeous beam from both Venus and Jupiter, while they oppose each other. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay open to learning about resilience and self-care. Challenges may arise, but this Moon is full of excitement and beauty.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a sense of groundedness and a focus on goals into your house of romance/passion, self-expression (including creativity), children, and fun. This is interesting because the next day, Venus opposes Uranus, causing rebellion, a need for freedom, and surprise in all things love, creativity, and money (this may impact money earned from a creative pursuit or passion project, or maybe a romance will suddenly take a hard left, an outing with children won’t go as planned, or an attempt to socialize in a fun way will go awry). Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to this house. You’ll get more helpful tips for building strong foundations in these areas on the 24^th, and a huge boost in your confidence and an ability to engage in all these categories fully on the 27^th.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of friend and community. As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter, planet of luck and abundance. At the same time, Mercury, your planetary ruler, and Mars in Sagittarius will make a beautiful connection to the North Node. Taken altogether, it looks like a joyful time with community, friends or children; solidifying a partnership of some kind (like a significant other, business partner, or best friend); or even an opportunity to courageously tell someone how you really feel. Whatever the case—it will help you create a successful foundation, feel grounded, and/or move forward in a fortuitous way. Cancer rules the family and our most tender feelings, so these themes may also be at play, whether you’re celebrating with chosen family, creating new family, or enjoying the company of your own family. You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

Impact of Mercury

The month’s astrology is already in full swing on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of home and family. Using Capricorn’s practical, grounded energy, invest in the conversations and ideas that support a strong foundation for your family, chosen family, or your home life. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas. Miscommunications about your home, or with family members or roommates are possible now. You may also look backward to your childhood to see something you didn’t realize before, or you may realize there’s a lot that’s been left unsaid with a family member. It’s a great time to brainstorm, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. This is heightening the potential for miscommunications in your interpersonal conversations, and if you have a tendency to gossip, this could become an issue now. Past issues with siblings or neighbors may come up again for a better chance at closure. The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours but ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of wealth and self-worth. This is an excellent time to pull focus toward your finances. Ask for a raise, raise your rates, speak with a financial advisor, or invest wisely. Scorpio loves to plumb the depths, so this is also an excellent time to study the ways that relationships, creativity, and/or money impact your sense of self-worth. What hidden beliefs about your worthiness or value lurk beneath the surface? Face these fears head on. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. Sagittarius is fearless, honest, and optimistic—take this into all your communications, but especially conversations around matters of the heart and/or money. You may also find that you get very close with a neighbor or sibling during this time. This upbeat energy will bring you out of 2023 and into 2024.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment. Be careful in your communications now, especially with siblings or neighbors—things may not be all that they seem. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to channel your creativity into any of your communication projects (writing, PR, marketing, broadcasting, etc.), especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Venus, your planetary ruler, will receive a gorgeous beam from both Saturn and Mercury as it opposes Jupiter. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations along with a sense of stability or help from authority figures. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you keep your eyes peeled for wolves in sheep’s clothing. Challenges may arise, but this Moon is full of excitement, love, and beauty.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a sense of groundedness and a focus on goals into your house of home and family. This is interesting because the next day, Venus opposes Uranus, causing rebellion, a need for freedom, and surprise in all things love and money (for example, a relationship with a family member is upended or money issues surrounding your house take an unforeseen turn). Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to this house. You’ll get more helpful tips for building strong foundations in your home and family life on the 24^th, and a huge boost in your confidence and happy home life on the 27^th.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of career. As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of home and family, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter. At the same time, Venus, your planetary ruler, will make a beautiful connection to Neptune, setting the stage for a dreamy romance, a creative push, or an overall sense of relaxation. Taken altogether, it looks like your career could be especially lucrative and creative for you now or involve a romance of some kind. There’s potential to move forward in ways that put you on your path—keep an eye out for important conversations about that. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, so whatever comes up will help you create a solid foundation, feel grounded, and move forward in a way that leads to long-term success. This could be wonderful for your physical home, family, or living situation. Cancer also rules the family, so one potential snag here is being overly focused on work in a way that puts your family on the backburner. Just be aware of this and make sure to create a healthy balance, and you’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.

Impact of Mercury

December’s astrology kicks off on the 1^st when Mercury, planet of communication and ideas, moves into Capricorn and your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. Using Capricorn’s practical, grounded energy, invest in healthy, supportive ways of communicating with those in your circle. This may be an important time to talk things out with siblings or work through issues with your neighbors. On the 13^th, Mercury officially enters its retrograde phase, asking you to review these areas. This is heightening the potential for miscommunications in your interpersonal conversations, and if you have a tendency to gossip, this could become an issue now. Past issues with siblings or neighbors may come up again for a better chance at closure. It’s a great time to brainstorm, but hold off on making big moves until we’re well into January. You’ll get help from authorities/mentors on the 2^nd and 21^st, have luck or great ideas come through on the 7^th, and be able to speak to relationships or money on the 11^th and 18^th. Circle the 22^nd, when the Sun and Mercury come together to help you realize something deeply important.

 More Impact of Mercury

On the 23^rd, Mercury backs all the way up into Sagittarius and your house of wealth and personal values. What beliefs around money or about your own value are ready for a refresh? Are you showing up for the things in your life that you truly value? The 27^th is a tricky day in this arena—be careful of confusion or deception in the wee morning hours, but get ready to act confidently on your ideas by evening.

Impact of Venus

On the 4^th, Venus moves into Scorpio and your house of independence, vitality, and image. Scorpio is fiercely loyal, so now is the time to love yourself with utter devotion to all the quirks, flaws, and idiosyncrasies that make you unique. This isn’t a flaunting energy, but rather an internal smoldering for your own beauty, independent of anyone else’s opinion or approval. And if you feel like upgrading your look to increase your sex appeal, feel free. December is a social time and Venus is a social planet, but Scorpio likes small groups of ride-or-dies, so make plans with your besties during the month as well. Look for grounded success in all these areas on the 5^th, over-the-top joy on the 9^th, good news on the 11^th, shocks or unexpected shifts on the 21^st, dreamy feelings on the 25^th, and a sense of power early in the day on the 29^th. Later that day, Venus will move into Sagittarius, lighting up your house of wealth and self-worth. Pull focus toward your finances now: ask for a raise, raise your rates, speak with a financial advisor, or invest wisely. Sagittarius is the sign of expansion—bring that to your sense of self-worth now. What new, exciting ways can you tap into the sense that you are invaluable? Through spiritual growth? Education? Travel? Follow this path of possibility as we close out one year and move into another.

Impact of New Moon

On the 12^th, a New Moon in Sagittarius calls attention back to your house of wealth and personal values. In the 14 days that follow this Moon, there are two separate energies to be aware of. One is a potential deception, addiction, or sense of confusion or disillusionment. Be careful of any lying or misrepresentation in your financial matters. You might also experience a loss of self-esteem or question what really matters to you. On the flip, this might also be a wonderful time to burn away any beliefs that prevent you from fully embracing your worth, especially because the rest of the astrology is beautiful and has tremendous forward motion. There is a substantial possibility for gain: Mars, your planetary co-ruler, is in beautiful relationship to the North Node while Mercury sends lovely beams to both Jupiter and Venus, who are opposing each other. This is a time of fun, celebration, and/or socializing, and it brings good news/conversations. There’s potential for burnout with this excitable Moon, so keep that in mind while you stay vigilant in financial matters and in your own sense of importance. Challenges may arise, but this Moon is full of excitement, love, and beauty.

Impact of the Sun

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21^st, bringing a sense of groundedness and a focus on goals into your house of communication, siblings, neighbors. This is interesting because the next day, Venus opposes Uranus, causing rebellion, a need for freedom, and surprise in all things love and money (for example, maybe an unexpected situation with a sibling or neighbor arises, or maybe a conversation about love or money takes you by surprise). Expect the unexpected around this day, and lean into Capricorn’s need for order and logic to handle whatever arises. The following day, the Sun and Mercury will join in what’s known as a cazimi, bringing big “ah ha” moments to this house. You’ll get more helpful tips for building strong foundations in these areas on the 24^th, and a huge boost in your confidence to speak your truth or handle issues with siblings or neighbors on the 27^th.

Impact of Full Moon

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on the 26^th, lighting up your house of expansion (travel, broadcasting, publishing etc.). As this happens, the Sun will oppose the Moon from your house of personal communication, neighbors, and siblings, while also sending a gorgeous beam to Jupiter. At the same time, Pluto, your planetary ruler, will make a beautiful connection to Venus, planet of love and money. If you have any creative writing or speaking projects, this is an excellent (and potentially lucrative) time to engross yourself in those. Travel could come up for you in a big way now. You may also pursue, chat about, or consider a spiritual endeavor. Time spent with siblings or neighbors would feel very celebratory. And personal conversations can bring lots of luck and growth. Because we’re in Cancer, the Moon itself is the planetary ruler of this Full Moon, and it’s in gorgeous relationship to Saturn, setting you up for long-term success and a sense of being grounded and secure. Cancer also rules the family and our most tender feelings, so these themes may also be at play in some way (spending time with family, writing about family, creating chosen family, etc.). You’ll close the year out with this absolutely lovely astrology, setting you up to win as we move into 2024.
