Your December Horoscope Is Here & There's So Much To Celebrate

We're at the peak of Sagittarius season, and in the midst of a rather interesting Mercury retrograde cycle. Although, luckily for us, the messenger planet stations direct on Dec. 6, followed by Chiron, the wounded healer, on Dec. 9. Speaking of which, your December 2018 horoscopes are here, and things are finally looking up, stargazers. I mean, think about it: The largest planet in our solar system, aka Jupiter, is now traveling through its home sign — Sagittarius — after 13 months of revealing truths and far-reaching changes in the powerful sign of Scorpio. This is the calm after the storm, and I'm pretty sure you can feel it.

December kicks off with Mercury retrograde sliding back into Scorpio, and as I've previously mentioned, all that's been communicated during its time in the sign of the archer, will now begin to simmer in Scorpio's fixed waters. Nothing to be afraid of; however, we will, in fact, reap what we have sown. After Mercury goes direct in Scorpio, there will be a gorgeous new moon in Sagittarius, swirling in optimism and positive expansion. The sun enters serious Capricorn on Dec. 21, and this energy will ultimately help us solidify all that we've aspired towards during Sagittarius season.

There will be a powerful full moon in sensitive Cancer the following day, putting a spotlight on our professional life versus our emotional well being. Which reminds me, don't get too caught up in the holiday madness. The energy of Capricorn is responsible and righteous, but in the end, the full moon is a symbol of balance, and a reminder to nurture ourselves in the process. Last and certainly not least, the year 2018 is sure to leave with a bang, as warrior Mars will enter its home sign Aries on the night of New Year's Eve. It's been real, stargazers.

Nevertheless, here's what December 2018 has in store for you:
