Libra Monthly Forecast

Relationships of all stripes are a big theme for December, from friends to committed partners to family. The stars will activate all of these ties at some point this month, but as one of the zodiac’s most people-centric signs, that should be mostly music to your ears!

For starters, the Sun is in Sagittarius and your social third house until December 21, bringing the usual wave of holiday parties and invites. Meeting and mingling? More please! Get out and circulate because once el Sol slips into Capricorn and your homey fourth house after that, you’ll be less outgoing and more interested in gathering with family and your closest people. 

On December 20, lucky Jupiter returns to Aries and your committed-relationship house, heating up romantic and business alliances until May 16, 2023. And Christmas Eve will feature the Sun, moon, social Mercury, magnetic Venus (your ruler) and deep-diving Pluto ALL in Capricorn and your domestic fourth house. Gather with loved ones and keep the guest list cozy and intimate. Women and children figure prominently into the day’s starmap, and you may be in the mood for a multigenerational gathering where all ages can participate in the fun and festivities.

New Year’s Eve has a similarly cocoonish vibe as the moon will be in Taurus and your private eighth house as the calendar turns while love planet Venus cozies up to secretive Pluto. Conditions are ideal for an intimate celebration, perhaps with a sexy plus-one or at an exclusive invite-only party. A holiday proposal might even be in the stars.

There’s one caveat: Mercury, the planet of communication, travel and technology, will be retrograde from December 29 to January 18. The quicksilver planet will reverse through Capricorn, which could stir up tension at home. Maybe that’s a strong case for booking a hotel room and avoiding any relatives or roommates who could push your buttons tonight?
