December is cooling down the temperature outside, but heating up the planets! Planet of desire and action, Mars, enters Capricorn on December 15, adding drive and motivation to everything we do. This transit gives us the motivation to achieve our aspirations. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19 can hinder our growth and development. Fortunately, this is only a moment in time, and the energy is expected to shift next week. This is due to the Sun in Sagittarius squaring both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on the 16th and 20th, making our plans and goals from the New Moon seem stagnant. The communication planet, Mercury in Sagittarius, aligns with the Nodes of Destiny on December 20th, pushing us to adopt a different mode of thinking. Venus in Sagittarius aspects Saturn on the 21st, limiting our sentiments and curving our spending. The Sun moves into Capricorn, initiating the Winter Solstice on December 21. The new season brings a shift in our thinking, urging us to be more methodical and practical.

Aries

Think outside the box and venture into uncharted territory. Perhaps there is an industry you have not tried yet that holds professional potential. The power of negotiation is with you as you venture into new markets and new projects. Stay flexible and be agile; the doors are opening for you to have long-term prosperity.

Taurus

The New Moon on December 19 encourages you to seize opportunities with confidence, potentially leading to significant financial gains. You will shine and will be able to lead new projects or take over existing ones. Make sure you find balance, as your enthusiasm might want to bite off more than it can chew.

Gemini

Now is the moment to release yourself from overcommitments and focus on being more present. If reciprocity is lacking, it's time to move on. If you're up for the challenge, consider having those difficult conversations, but if you need space to concentrate on yourself, that’s what this week is about.

Cancer

This is a great time to consider a bigger plan, but don't act on it yet. If you partner with someone in a business, this will be a good time for you to work on unfinished business and perhaps find ways to save or make some money. Your slow and steady nature is the key to making sound choices.

Leo

Do not be shy about buying extravagant and decadent gifts for your loved ones this holiday, but have some restraint because you need to take care of yourself, too. The New Moon on the 19th will give you a chance to review your year and show gratitude for everything you have acquired throughout it.

Virgo

To stay grounded in strategic thinking, try to tie up loose ends. Communication can get confusing due to your overzealous nature. You may exaggerate or commit to more than you can give. Ensure that others know you are reliable by following through on promises and being accountable for your actions.

Libra

Social success is abundant, and your positive outlook on life will work to your advantage — use it to charm the socks off others and make friends. Please don't overdo it, though. The New Moon will exhaust you, so prepare yourself to be more tired than usual. If possible, take some time to relax.

Scorpio

Financial stability and monetization share the stage this week, as you aim to maximize what you already have. You want to ensure that you stick to what you know works. Your natural ability for financial prudence will be a guide for you. Make sure to review everything with a critical eye.

Sagittarius

You're adaptable and resilient, allowing you to conquer any challenges that come your way. Use the energy of the New Moon on December 19 to make plans, lists, and goals. You may realize it is time to move on from where you are currently. Time to spread your wings and fly. Let go of anything holding you back.

Capricorn

Mars’s entrance into your sign, combined with the New Moon, is messing with your energy levels. As a result, you’re spending more time alone, apart from the scene, ruminating over your emotions. Sleep, dream, and rest to recharge and restore your energy. After you unwind, you can address matters with a clear mind.

Aquarius

Use your social skills to build your ever-growing network. You will make a significant number of professional connections this week. You may even be asked to assist with a project or two. Check social media or job boards for potential work. The more you hustle, the easier it'll be to attain your hopes.

Pisces

Trust your gut! When considering making a new investment or decision, do not let the opinions of others lead you astray. Consider them, but remember you have the last say. Your empathetic nature makes you a strong fit for customer service roles and collaborative working relationships.
