Scorpio Monthly Forecast

Check in with your people! Much of December revolves around relationships for you, particularly your closest ties. From inner circle friendships to romantic and business partners, a lot of cosmic energy will be directed into balancing the give-and-take between you. 

But first, there are things to get done! With the Sun in Sagittarius and your productive, prosperous second house until December 21, you’ll be busily focused on crossing items off your to-do list (and your gift list). When and if you have free time, spending it with a special someone could lighten your spirits since lucky Jupiter will be in Pisces and your romantic, celebratory fifth house until December 20. Work hard and play hard—just don’t hold back on dressing up for those holiday parties, especially ones where you can also make promising connections.

On December 21, the Sun shifts into Capricorn and your social third house, putting you in playful spirits. You’re ready to leave it all at the office…or most of it. The day before that, Jupiter will start its second sojourn through Aries and your organized, healthy sixth house. Your holiday partying may be more mild than wild, or you could start plotting your New Year’s detox before even reaching your consumption limit of eggnog and gingerbread. Shrug…don’t let us stop you!

You’ll still serve plenty of scintillating company and conversation up during Capricorn season anyhow since witty Mercury, charming Venus and penetrating Pluto (your ruler) are also in this sign. The Capricorn new moon on December 23 is THE ideal night for a gathering with friends at your favorite local spot or for bringing your closest people together. These moonbeams will linger into Christmas Eve, so feel free to carry on the good cheer and fascinating talks.

A week later, the stars pivot, and you might want to self-impose a gag order. Mouthy Mercury will turn retrograde in Capricorn from December 29 to January 18, which could feel like a double-strength dose of this signal-scrambling energy. You’d be wisest to keep your unfiltered opinions to yourself lest you be wildly misunderstood. Avoid people who push your buttons too (they’re always around during the holidays) and excuse yourself if conversations get triggering.
