Your Weekly Horoscope Is Here & Capricorn Season Has Finally Arrived

The astrological energy swirling through the air this week is positively divine. With Venus in smoldering Scorpio forming a trine with Neptune in dreamy Pisces on Dec. 21, romance is radiating from the cosmos. Opening you up to tenderness, sensitivity, and compassion, the connections you make this week will feel spectacular. But that's not the only reason you'll love your December 17, 2018 weekly horoscope. The sun will also be forming a trine with Uranus as of Dec. 20, making you feel comfortable enough to be true to yourself and appreciate the uniqueness that each person has to offer.

However, I honestly might be stalling before I tell you the biggest astrological news of the week: On Dec. 21, the sun will enter Capricorn, launching us through the last earth season of the year. The tenth sign in the zodiac wheel is known for its intense drive and ability to see things through to the end. While Sagittarius season was about getting in touch with the world philosophically and experiencing life to the fullest, Capricorn season is about creating that life. Prepare to learn from your mistakes and set a plan for a brighter and more successful future.

If you're already pumped for the cosmic shift, get a load of this: The day after Capricorn season begins will also be the day a full moon in Cancer lights up the sky. This is one of the most beautiful full moons of the whole year for so many reasons, one being that the moon literally rules over Cancer and functions most elegantly when its in its favorite sign in the zodiac. Reflecting light from a sun in its opposite sign, Capricorn, this full moon will give you a sense of emotional completion and revelation that you didn't even know you needed.
