Horoscopes for the month of December 2024
Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): December starts with a new moon in Sagittarius, conjunct the Mercury retrograde, telling us that whatever you have to address during this time will be for the best in the long run. Money through your career and occupation may also be problematic, so it would be wise to stick to your budget. Your energy levels may be stronger than average, but your creativity may increase, and you may get lucky breaks when you need them. As the month continues, you may find your money through your career gets better, and now you may find joy can be found through your social circles, and those same circles may lead to surprise money. Seeing things clearly may be challenging, and the end of December may be a good time to re-evaluate where you are and where you’re going in 2025.
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): When December begins, your temper may be shorter than normal, and you may have a brief unlucky streak for the first few days, but both of these will be short-lived challenges. Opportunities may exist when making more money through your job, but only if you focus on deferred gratification. Challenges may also be present when adapting to the new social outlook as we prepare to enter 2025. As the month progresses, you may see that it is time to shift your attention to professional and personal work. The last week of the month is a good time to clean the house, the kitchen, or even the office. The same challenges from earlier in the month continue, but now the emphasis falls on how you can internally adapt to changes rather than seeing how you can guide the changes.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): When December 2024 begins, you may feel out of sorts on a massive level due to the new moon in Sagittarius, conjunct Mercury retrograde opposing your Gemini placements, and when you factor in the activity in Pisces, you find challenges are seemingly everywhere. One of the best ways to navigate these challenges is through channeling your energy into creative projects, if possible. As December continues, it is worth noting the majority of the tension in the air will dissipate, but the communication tension will remain through the end of the month. Some nice aspects tell us the last two weeks of the month are good times to spend time with friends socializing, and these friendships may lead to unexpected sources of income early in 2025. If you’re considering approaching the new year, you may want to consider attacking it on two fronts rather than one, at least until Jupiter directs in your sign.
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st): Unlike other signs, December 2024 may begin as a non-event and may even be a positive start to the month, particularly if you listen to your intuition and align your life with your spiritual beliefs. Slight financial tension in the workplace may be pleasant, but this will change within the first week, so if you can keep your cool, things will roll along nicely while others have their hands full. As the month continues, the emphasis turns to cleaning, whether it is your internal system or your external environment. The last two weeks of the month may bring challenges to your career, and where you are going in life, so it would be wise to start preparing professionally for 2025 earlier than January. Healing and health may be two focal points after winter solstice, so it would be wise to focus on that now that you are post-holidays.
Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st): You’re in an interesting spot as December 2024 begins. The new moon in Sagittarius at the beginning of the month can lead to wrapping up a lot of headache issues, but only if you’re willing to put in the hours. The good news is that your energy levels are higher than normal, and you may get some unexpected good fortune if you stay focused on your goals. Tension may be present when it comes to interacting with society, and in the first few days of the month, this may be detached, but the second week of the month, you may find this point is driven home rather personally. As the month progresses, you may notice the time for wrapping things up is behind you, and the emphasis falls on your interaction with society and circles of friends. Tension may be found there, and if you’re irresponsible, this may cost you money, love, or both.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): When December rolls in, you may feel like the sky is falling due to all the tension in the air, so during the new moon on the 1st, you may want to take some time to still your mind and breathe to remain calm. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 1st is blended with Mercury retrograde, your ruling planet, so you may experience challenges concerning communication, investments, travel, learning, and how well you handle dealing with the unforeseeable. As much of that tension dissipates, things dramatically quiet down later in the month. Once solstice arrives, you may find the only real challenges left have to do with personal communication, handling your emotions, and healing your spiritual wounds. The last two weeks of the month are a good time to focus on money, your career, occupation, health, and visualizing what you plan on manifesting in 2025.
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st): The first few days of December may bring fresh start energy into your life, particularly regarding your spirituality, investments, and creativity, so it would be wise to prioritize accordingly. Your energy levels may be stronger than normal, but you may find that accomplishing your goals requires every drop of energy you have. Even the Mercury retrograde may work out in your favor if you adapt when appropriate. As December continues, a lot of this easy-flowing environment will slowly be replaced with challenges that have to do with your overall direction in life and career. The Mars retrograde in Leo towards the end of the month may lead to some internal growth regarding your ego, but only if you can embrace your emotional side and face your inner conflict.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st): Much like Cancers, the new moon on December 1st may be more of a non-event than an event, but that is where the parallels between the signs stop. The first two weeks of the month is a good time to receive money through your job, but your temper may be short, and you may get unlucky breaks rather than lucky ones. As the month continues, it gets more complex. The emphasis continues to be on your career and job, but now there are challenges in your social circles, which could lead to a loss of friends or money through friendships you have, so it would be wise to block out the external to focus on where you’re going in life from the solstice through the first of the year. The Mars retrograde in Leo may be problematic, too, as challenges and opportunities are brought up internally to correct your inner aggressive side. Part of this may have to do with dealing with your inner masculine side, but part may also be how you handle your temper and blow off steam.
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): Happy birthday Sagittarians! This is YOUR month, and wow, it starts off with a bang. The new moon on the 1st conjunct Mercury retrograde is all about wrapping up outstanding projects to clear the path for the rest of the month and the next calendar year. Extra energy is available, and you may get the lucky breaks you need to achieve further healing. Once the second week of December arrives, you may find good things come to you through your social circles, so spending time with friends would be wise to do. As the month continues, challenges may arise regarding your daily work routine and health, so be careful with what you consume the last two weeks. The Mars retrograde in Leo is a good time to do an internal checkup before 2025 arrives to address any parts of yourself that may be currently out of sorts.
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st): Funny enough, December 2024 may start with money coming to you from your career and your occupation, and your romantic life may be good, but other than that, December may begin with a lot of peace and quiet, unlike other signs. Money moves you make the first week of the month may be the last ones to make for the year, so it would be wise to seize the opportunities present, lest they don’t come back. As the month continues, more emphasis may be placed on your workplace and career, but you may also sense something on the horizon. That won’t arrive for several months yet when Neptune enters Aries, but you can prepare for it now by making sure you see your life and situation clearly and are willing to make the necessary changes so that 2025 isn’t an extension of 2024 but rather its own year.
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st): The new moon in Sagittarius on the 1st, conjunct the Mercury retrograde, is interacting well and smoothly with your solar energy in general, so you may find the things you have to deal with because of the retrograde resolve for the best and may produce immediate, positive results. The second week of the month may be a beneficial start to the newly birthed Pluto in Aquarius as Venus conjuncts Pluto, so it would be wise to do what you need to do for the first week, knowing that good things will come your way the second week. Your temper may be short the first half of the month, and your creativity may be blocked as well, so it would be wise to step back before reacting to challenging situations. As the month continues, the Mars retrograde may stir up toxic ego issues through tension concerning others. However, your communication skills may be sharper than normal, and honesty may be your best way to deal with things.
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): Like Virgos, you may find the new moon on the 1st of December is full of challenges and problems, especially those having to do with communication, travel, investments, and publishing, so it would be wise to breathe deep before responding to external issues. All of these issues, coupled with the ongoing spiritual and emotional challenges and prosperity issues, may make it feel very severe, but the more you adapt, the more you can handle all of these things for the short time necessary. As the month progresses, the pressure in the air increases, as the challenges mentioned earlier now expand to include workplace tension and potentially health-related tension, so it would be wise to adapt as you need to. Remember that these will be short-term transformations rather than deep, soul-searching ones. For the entire month, remember that adaptability is the way to evolve, but even adaptability has limits and a price.
FOR ALL SIGNS: Mercury directs on December 15th at 2 degrees Sagittarius. Mars retrogrades on December 5th at 6 degrees Leo and directs on February 25th, 2025 at 17 degrees Cancer. Mars only retrogrades every two years, and this one will most impact the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, and Leo) in the beginning and will impact cardinal signs (Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra) towards the end of the cycle. Remember that I am referring to people with strong placements in those signs, not necessarily your sun sign.

Embark on a celestial journey where the vibrant tapestry of the cosmos intertwines with the hues that paint our world. In this Redfin article, we will delve into the mystical connection between zodiac signs and the shades that resonate most deeply with each individual. So whether you are an Aries renting an apartment in Providence, RI, or a Taurus living in a townhouse in Cambridge, MA, join us as we unravel the secrets of the universe, one color at a time.
Aries individuals are dynamic and assertive, driven by their passion and determination to conquer challenges. Their fiery personality resonates with bold and vibrant colors, symbolizing their energy, courage, and leadership qualities.
“Embrace the energetic spirit of Aries with vibrant hues like ‘Pleasant Pink’ by Benjamin Moore in your space,” recommends paint company Benjamin Moore Thailand.
“Vedic astrology emphasizes ‘Rashi’ or moon sign as your true nature. Aries moon signs should go for red-tone paints in your houses and offices to resonate with the vibrancy of your basic radiant nature. Red ensures boundless energy levels,” adds online astrology consultant StarsTell.
“Aries are naturally drawn to rich jewel tones for their wall colors. That fiery spirit needs some balance, so SW Jericho Jade is the perfect bedroom wall color,” shares photographer Caitlyn Nicole.
Taurus individuals are known for their grounded and practical nature, often embodying stability and reliability in their personality. Earthy tones reflect their connection to nature, showcasing their nurturing disposition and steadfast approach to life’s endeavors.
Apothecary Anima Mundi Herbals says, “Taurus individuals may find comfort and grounding in earthy tones like warm browns or soft beige, fostering a sense of stability and security in their environment.”
“Taurus is the most sensual sign. It represents money and growth, so greens of all kinds tend to be chosen most often. However, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, rules the sign of Taurus. Venus wouldn’t be opposed to adding a luscious mulberry rose to your decor to enliven all your senses,” states Patricia Selmo of Cosmic Energy Coaching.
Gemini individuals are characterized by their curious and adaptable nature, often displaying versatility and quick wit in their interactions. Colors like yellow resonate with their lively personality.
“For Gemini, a lively and versatile air sign, ‘Sunshine Yellow’ offers a burst of energy and creativity, making it an excellent choice for a home office or living area where ideas flow freely, shares resume writing service Resume By Nico. “Alternatively, Scorpio’s intensity and passion are perfectly captured by ‘Midnight Plum,’ a deep, rich hue that creates a sense of mystery and sophistication, ideal for a Scorpio’s study or personal sanctuary, where focus and contemplation are key.”
“With summer just around the corner, lively Gemini brims with energy and new ideas. Sunny yellows brighten rooms and moods alike,” remarks the collective Heart, Body, & Soul.
Cancer individuals are deeply empathetic and nurturing, often displaying a strong emotional intuition and a profound connection to their loved ones. Soft and soothing colors like silver and white reflect their gentle and caring personality.
“The perfect color for cancer is white, symbolizing purity and comfort and aligning well with Cancer’s nurturing and protective nature,” says astrologist All Things Vedic. “This makes the environment calm and peaceful, providing a space to renew and recharge for the next day. It can brighten any living space and counterbalance any mood swings with an uplifting and positive vibe. Whites also offer the flexibility to blend eclectic tastes into your decor seamlessly.”
Leo individuals are charismatic and confident, exuding a natural magnetism and a flair for the dramatic. Vibrant and regal colors resonate with their bold personality.
“Leo – bright and sunny personalities with bold emotions and passions. So stick with reds, golds, and bright pinks,” suggests author Winnifred Tataw of Win’s Books.
“Leo’s surroundings need to be cloaked in colors that reflect their regal stature and sense of fun. Fiery colors like red, orange, yellow, and gold are Leo’s natural palette, highlighting this fire sign’s exuberance and flair for the dramatic,” states astrologer Nancy Massing.
Virgo individuals are known for their practicality, attention to detail, and analytical mindset, often displaying a methodical approach to life’s challenges. Subtle and earthy colors reflect their grounded personality.
Alexis Brooks, Editor of Conscious Lifestyle and Spirituality Blog Higher Journeys, says, “The sign of Virgo is one that I’ve found stays fairly true to form when it comes to color association. Virgo is often linked to earth tones and muted colors reflecting practicality, organization, and attention to detail – all of which are hallmark traits of this fastidious earth sign.”
“Virgos need clean and crisp colors to match their personalities. Being an earth sign, go for a rich sage green like Farrow and Ball’s Blue Gray, or try their Stiffly Blue, which has a feminine softness much like a Virgo, remarks astrologer and writer Leslie McGuirk.
Libra individuals are renowned for their diplomacy, charm, and sense of balance, often seeking harmony in their relationships and surroundings. Soft and harmonious colors resonate with their graceful personality.
“Pantone’s color of the year, Peach Fuzz, is perfect to bring into your home as a Libra,” shares astrology website Astrology Hub. “It will help you stay on trend and bring a soft, harmonizing vibe to any room in your home. If you’re not up for a peachy wall, this is a great accent pillow and throw color to add to your mix so you can easily change it up next year.”
“Libra is a bejeweled sign that appreciates beauty and balance. Ruled by Venus, fuchsia pink realigns Libra to their spirited and social nature, so they express the airy and passionate advocates that they are,” adds spiritual empowerer The Valkyrie Mystic.
Scorpio individuals are intense, passionate, and fiercely determined, often embodying a magnetic and enigmatic presence. Deep and mysterious colors reflect their complex personality.
Summer camp blog Happy Camper Live says, “A deep teal is an exceptional choice for a Scorpio. This color combines Scorpio’s characteristic depth and intensity with the refreshing, rejuvenating qualities of the natural world. Deep teal embodies the mystery and resilience of Scorpio while also echoing the calming influence of water and the outdoors.”
“Scorpios love color. The deeper, richer shades excite. Think burgundy, midnight blue, forest, or gold. A bold palette is key whether in wall color or decorative interiors,” states Craig of Sage of Stars.
Sagittarius individuals are adventurous, optimistic, and free-spirited, often driven by a thirst for knowledge and new experiences. Bright and expansive colors resonate with their adventurous side.
“Sagittarius will exude confidence in luxury red, orange, and gold hues,” remarks psychic Nirvana Light.
“Sagittarius is a fire sign, ruled by Jupiter,” states My Astro. “Sagittarians like to see the big picture and to travel. They tend to be optimistic and outgoing. Purple shows their interest in spiritual matters and conveys wisdom. Deep blue reflects the strong connection to deeper states of awareness that Sagittarians seek. Colors that convey a positive and adventurous spirit are what a Sagittarian would enjoy.”
Capricorn individuals are ambitious, disciplined, and pragmatic, often displaying a strong sense of responsibility and determination in pursuing their goals. Classic and sophisticated colors showcase their ability to be grounded.
Dark blue, grey, forest green, and black are your choices if you wish to enhance Saturn’s stabilizing influence on the disciplined and determined Capricorn,” says PowerFortunes.com. “These colors convey strength and resilience.”
“Earthy Capricorn is a muted sign that is prone to melancholy, steadfast, stubbornness, and hardworking. They like the immovable Charcoal Black #36454F. This time of the year can be dark, which is why Capricorns have an affinity for Olive Grey #847A66 to drop in their martini. Finally, to cheer up the dour mood, a Capricorn would pick Skeptic #A5BCAB because nothing makes a Capricorn happier than doubting someone else,” shares astrologist Heart Astrology.
“Aquarius individuals are progressive, inventive, and humanitarian, often driven by a strong sense of idealism and a desire for positive change in the world,” notes Business Astrologer Kathryn Hocking. “Electric and unconventional colors resonate with their innovative traits.
To keep you feeling inspired, feature walls and colors in your home that are bright, bold, and perhaps a little quirky, like a firetruck red and jewel tone sapphire blue and emerald green.”
Pisces individuals are compassionate, intuitive, and imaginative, often embodying empathy and sensitivity towards others. Dreamy and ethereal colors reflect their gentle personality.
“As we are in the Pisces season, let’s look at the paint color they would choose for their homes. Dreamy seafoam green or soothing lavender could be the perfect choices, reflecting their imaginative and empathetic nature, creating a serene sanctuary that harmonizes with their fluid and mystical personality,” shares journal store journalstogive.

Rexanna Ipock-Brown has added a new novel to her Loving Monsters Series and will be signing her new book on Saturday, December 16th from 12 pm – 4 pm. If you love books with adventurous witches trying to find love, smoking hot shifters and vampires, and swoon-worthy love scenes, then you won’t want to miss out.
Greta Aqen is done being the good girl witch. In a chance meeting with a man on a motorcycle her inner bad girl gives him a kiss. That kiss wakes up her fantasy of what this Leather Boy could do with her.
Leather Boy, otherwise known as Rhys Gold is not in the market for any long-term relationships, but after a kiss that has his fangs popping, this vampire wouldn’t mind a night of passion with the crazy woman at the grocery store. However, he comes to his senses and rides off into the night.
Fate has other plans. They meet again and the fire between them is a flaring inferno. Greta has her life planned out and it doesn’t include Rhys. Rhys is fine with that until something happens that changes both of their lives.
This is a stand-alone with a HEA. There is a first book that does introduce some of the characters and the world they live in, Rosemary Wolfe, M. D. (Monster Doctor). This series has characters that are intense in the bedroom as well as out. Better suited for mature readers.
Rexanna is a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Columbia chapter of the Missouri Writer’s Guild. Her characters are drawn from her work as a psychic consultant. She has assisted police departments with cold cases, was a popular guest on radio call-in shows, and has been featured on local and national television. She and her dog, Oberon Lugh, take magical walks daily to commune with nature.

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): As December 2023 begins, you may find an abundance of energy present to help you achieve your goals, so it would be wise to have your list of goals for the month ready. A challenge may be present when it comes to personal communication in the workplace, but this can be mitigated by taking extra time to be clear when dealing with coworkers. Romantic relationships may be wrought with challenges, too, but this will be short-lived. Tension may generally be present the first few days, but this will fade quickly. As the month continues, the workplace may become the focal point for the last two weeks, as wrapping up projects and dealing with misunderstandings may take center stage. This may present challenges to other areas of life, but the silver lining is that if you do the work, you could enter 2024 with a clean and healed slate.
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): Emotionally, December 2023 may begin with its share of challenges, but these will fade within the first few days. Like Aries, the workplace may take center stage, but unlike the rams, the Taurus emphasizes laying a foundation for the future. Prosperity and expansion remain two major themes throughout the month but be careful to keep the expansion to positive areas of life rather than the waistline. As December matures, your career and occupation may take precedence, and while some of this has to do with wrapping up projects by the end of the calendar year, some may also address laying the groundwork for 2024. The last week of the month may be full of pleasure to an excess, a danger to avoid. Watch for unexpected financial and health blessings coming your way to usher in the New Year.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Even though tension may be in the air when it comes to speaking your truth and traveling, you may find a sense of optimism and creativity is also present. Regarding your romantic relationships, you may find that your decisions now have far-lasting consequences. The more tender you are now when interacting with your paramours, the better off you may be to begin 2024. As December advances, most of the tension in the air will dissipate, but remember that Mercury retrograde is coming up, so the more you remain adaptable and humble, the more you can resolve before the New Year. Spiritual challenges may remain the entire month, but these are all part of your maturation process and can be dealt with with patience and deferred gratification.
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st): Tension may be the theme of the beginning of December, so if you were hoping for a gentle start, you may be disappointed. Challenges may be present regarding your inner healing, romantic relationships, workplace communication, and figuring out your spiritual direction. However, your creativity, intuition, financial abundance, and good health are in your favor. As December continues, many of the challenges fade, but one life area that may still need to be dealt with is the career and occupation. Communication problems may be frequent, and there may be a sense of urgency to wrap up projects before the calendar’s end. Your daily life may interfere with where you’re going in a broad sense, but not all interferences are bad, as you may learn. Enjoyment may be found in getting to the root of repetitive patterns in relationships if you take the time to research.
Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st): Like Aries, you may find excess energy at your disposal as December 2023 begins, and with this may come increased optimism and creativity. Romantic relationships are also rolling along smoothly at this time, and with this may come money and access to the finer things in life. Regarding finances and food, it would be wise to play things conservatively until 2024 arrives. As December continues, you may discover the extra energy has dissipated to be replaced by challenges in your romantic relationships. These problems may be due to ego clashes, so compromising when appropriate would be smart. Your daily life may still be full of unexpected situations that challenge your emotional control, and you may be more prone to excess than normal, so while you’re looking ahead to 2024, keep your focus on daily life if possible.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): Challenges and problems may come up at the beginning of the month that have to do with travel, investments, and your ongoing spiritual dilemmas, so you may find it smart to focus on what you can control rather than trying to control everything. Your career, money, and daily life may be a good focal point for your attention. If you focus on these, you may find you can put yourself in a good position for 2024. As the month progresses, many of the challenges from earlier in the month dissipate and are replaced with communication issues, especially in your workplace. Money through business may flow easily to you, and your romantic life may be extra intense, for ill and for well. The Mercury retrograde may focus on how you speak to others, as you may find it is time to change your approach to dealing with people.
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st): Romantic relationships may continue to be a major focal point for the beginning of December, and I encourage you to ride this wave as much as possible because this will dissipate shortly after the end of the first week. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, too, and if you apply yourself, you may discover that your projects turn out better than desired. As December matures, the good times change to challenges that have to do with your career, occupation, and overall direction of life. Travel may be enjoyable towards the latter part of the month, but to offset this, you may find it is time to eat a piece of humble pie or at least be honest with yourself about some uncomfortable truths about your personality. With some work, you may find you are in a position to create spiritual growth.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st): When it comes to your daily life, you may find the best way to proceed as December begins is by playing things conservatively and cautiously. Your career may be rolling along nicely at the beginning of the month, but your personal life may require many minor adjustments through mid-December. As the month continues, you may get tested on your ability to deal with daily life, health, and money, but if you handle these subjects well, it might just free up your energy and attention to focus on the big picture of life rather than the small details. Money may flow easily to you through your business the later in the month it gets, and your romantic life may show a spark of passion and intensity.
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): Happy birthday Sagittarians! This is your month to let your hair down and celebrate. Optimism, extra energy, wanderlust, creativity, and good fortune may all be found in abundance, so if you stay alert, you may capitalize on many good things that might otherwise be missed. Romantic relationships may be rolling along nicely and smoothly, but the later they get in the month, the more they may require adjustments. As December marches, adjustments may become the norm rather than the exception. This may be particularly true in your career and romantic relationships. Impulsiveness may be a temptation to deal with throughout the month, as is the desire to be blunt rather than tactful. It would also be smart to be careful when traveling.
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st): Personal communication and adaptability in the workplace may be major themes that usher in December 2023, and if handled carefully, you may maneuver yourself into a solid position to welcome January 2024. Dealing with money and work may be smart for the beginning of the month, and paying attention to your diet would also be good to keep in mind. As the month progresses, you may find that almost everything, and I do mean almost everything, comes together and rolls along smoothly. The only challenges left as January 2024 looms have to do with internal healing, particularly concerning your ego and sense of self. Do your best to avoid head injuries, and be careful with your sweet tooth.
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st): Your daily life may continue to present challenges, which might also be true of money and health as December 2023 begins. Your emotions may be tense at the beginning of the month, but this will only last a few days. Traveling might be a good remedy around the beginning of the month, so if you get the chance, you may want to indulge. As December advances, things may become generally challenged, with special emphasis on your daily life, romantic relationships, and money through business. A subtle danger to note is that of getting in your way, and this can be remedied through humility and being open to new and different ways to do things. This is part of your ongoing internal healing process and can help you open up to new, positive experiences towards the middle of 2024.
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): On the surface, things might be rolling along nicely and smoothly as December 2023 begins, but if you dig deeper, you will find challenges and problems that have to do with spirituality and travel. Communication may also be challenged, but specifically, as it pertains to speaking your truth. Money may easily come to you through your daily grind, and expansion opportunities can be found around every corner. Once the middle of the month rolls around, a sense of even better things may come for you in early 2024. Dangers while traveling, spiritual quandaries, and issues with honesty may be the only problems left to deal with in late December, but if these are handled well, January 2024 may bring a whole new positive world full of potential waiting to be developed.
*FOR ALL SIGNS: Mercury retrogrades on December 12th at eight degrees Capricorn and will stay retrograde until January 2nd, which will be at twenty-two degrees Sagittarius. Thus, for the whole month, do your best to avoid miscommunications and address whatever unresolved workplace projects are outstanding so that you can enter 2024 with as clean of a slate as possible. This also means playing it safe while traveling on New Year’s Eve.

What’s in Your Future?
Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): November 2023 may start with more fire than
you can handle, Aries, so it would be wise to go into the month with a plan for monthly
achievements. You may also find that you are shorter-tempered than normal if you are
opposed. A good way to handle the beginning of the month is by chatting with friends
and easing into it rather than fully launching into it. As the month progresses, you may
see that optimism fills the air and that there is a new sense of hope and positive vibes.
You may also find tension in your romantic relationships, but this will be short-lived.
One of the better ways to handle this is through diplomacy and making appropriate and
healthy concessions. By the very end of the month, you may be emotionally charged to
start December.
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): The theme of the first few weeks of
November may be tension, especially regarding communication and business, so it would
be wise to take a detached approach to things. You may also discover that the unexpected
is still the norm in daily life, but it might easily be manageable since this has happened
for a while. As the month progresses, you may notice the majority of that tension
dissipates, but there is still a lingering short temper. Emotional and spiritual themes may
take up much of your time and energy, but if you play your cards right, you can lay a
foundation for long-term deferred growth. Your creativity and imagination may be
stronger than normal, but it could bring confusion and a lack of clarity if you don’t put it
to good use.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Stronger than normal emotions may be
how November 2023 begins, and one of the better ways to channel this is by talking to
friends and engaging in frivolous activities. There may be challenges when it comes to
money coming to you through your day job, and if you are not mindful, health challenges
may crop up, too. Regarding romance, it is worth noting that now is a good time to
dissect things and take them apart rather than looking at the superficial. As the month
continues, there may be a shift in the air regarding communication, and you may find this
is a source of tension. You may be called on to be decisive towards the end of the month,
which might be counterintuitive, although it is the right way to proceed. There may be
challenges when it comes to your emotions, too, but these can be mitigated through faith
and spirituality.
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st ): November 2023 may start with a blast of
intensity, whether it concerns business or your words carrying more weight than normal,
so it would be wise to be cautious and calculating. Another theme for the first two weeks
is taking care of the resources you share with others. Money may flow easily through
your daily job, and taking time to clean, especially the kitchen and offices would be wise.
As the month matures, you may find the intensity dissipates, but now there are challenges
when it comes to romance. There may also be problems when it comes to diplomacy with
your loved ones, and one of the better ways to handle this is through the system of give
and take.
Leo (Approx. July 21st to August 21st ): Challenges galore may be the theme of the first
two weeks of November, but most of these will have to do with business, playing well
with others, and business communication. On the bright side, this is the perfect time to
reach out and chat with others. Finding advice and comfort with friends may be
especially helpful. With some minor adjustments, you may find more money comes to
you through your daily work life. If applicable, early November is also a good time to
change your diet. As the month progresses, you may discover that optimism and
increased energy are prevalent, so let this be the light guiding you through the first half of
the month. Your romantic relationships may take a turn for the positive, too, and this
could result in money through your relationship or simply a deepening love with your
partner.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): Business, business, business may be
the dominant theme for the beginning of the month, so if you hit the ground running, you
may find you can tap into a lot of potential waiting to be grabbed. Unexpected money
may easily come to you during the first two weeks, and adjusting your diet may also be
worth it. Love is flowing nicely at this time, too, even though you may not feel open to it
spiritually. As November evolves, you may find challenges in communication, especially
when it comes to being honest and direct. The same romantic relationships that were
good at the beginning of the month may require minor adjustments for success, but if
these changes are made, things may turn out very well over December.
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st ): I realize that at the beginning of
November, you may want to chat with your friends and indulge in a variety of interests,
but this could take you away from achieving success if you make minor, necessary
adjustments when it comes to business and your professional life. It may also be worth it
to make changes to your diet. As the month moves forward, money may start easily
flowing your way through your contacts. Romance may also come easily to you, bringing
with it very good blessings. Optimism may be in the air, and your communication skills
will be sharper than normal if you stick to clarity and directness. Emotional tension may
be in the air for the last two weeks, but this will quickly dissipate. Spiritual tension may
remain in place, and although this has been going on for a while, you may see that your
inner changes are now gaining traction.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st ): Happy birthday, Scorpios! This
is your month, and while I realize many of you have already had birthdays, that does not
mean you can’t celebrate more! November starts with a lot of emphasis on business,
being proactive there, and money easily coming to you through those channels. Your
health may also be very good right now as well. As November marches on, you may find
that your adaptability skills are showcased and that by using them, you can achieve
surprising success in your daily work life and maybe even your romantic relationships.
Even though you may feel emotionally solid and ready to go, this may be a good time to
focus on what’s coming next rather than what you want to happen. Mars energy may play
a heavy role for the whole month, culminating in a climax around the last week of the
month.
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): With November 2023, we inch
closer to your birthday, but before you get there, you may find challenges that have to
deal with money through work and your romantic relationships take the majority of your
time and energy. The first couple of weeks are all about adjustments, but most of those
will have to do with your professional life specifically. Be prepared for people to take
what you say to heart, so choose your words carefully. As November goes forth, you may
notice that proactivity is the name of the game, and the more you put it out there, the
more you set yourself up for maximizing future opportunities. Communication and
adaptability may be two major themes, and the good news is that both may be coming
easily to you. Sharing your spirituality with others may be good for the soul, or travel
may be very nurturing if you are so inclined.
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st ): Like other signs, business and
professional development may be the two major themes that start November, and in your
case, these are not only flowing along nicely and smoothly, but they may also be
producing stronger results than expected. This is also a good time to clean your office,
body, or both. As the month continues, challenges in your romantic life may be common
around the middle of the month. Frivolously spending money in the presence of friends
may be a danger to avoid. The emphasis on the workplace may dissipate, but in its place
is a focus on adaptation, particularly communication. You may also sense emotional and
spiritual changes are coming, but their nature is evolution rather than degradation. Watch
your temper for a few days after the sun enters Sagittarius, and if you do that, you may
find the ambient energy can be channeled into productive projects.
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st ): Challenges, as they have to do
with sex, business, and shared resources, may all be themes for the first half of
November, so it would be wise to apply your intelligence to whatever comes up. The
good news is that you can find help by contacting your friends and having brief
networking conversations when possible. As November matures, the ambient energy
changes to that of optimism and clear communication. Your romantic relationships may
also take a turn for the better, and this is a good time to engage in diplomacy in whatever
life area requires it. Your emotions may still be challenged but will largely clear up by
early December. For the whole month, it is wise to play things financially conservatively.
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): November 2023 begins with tension in
the air when it comes to your romantic life, money coming to you through the workplace,
and health, so it would be wise to focus on those areas as the month begins. Even though
your emotions may be out of sorts, this will only last a few days. With the right focus,
you may put yourself in a position for long-term business success by being proactive.
This is also a good time to pick up a side job for the extra cash. As the month continues,
things may go from rolling along nicely to being full of challenges, especially when it
comes to communication and spirituality. For the last week of the month or so, your
psychic skills may be stronger than normal, as will your emotions, but these can be too
much of a good thing. Having a creative outlet for the extra energy would be smart to
develop if you don’t have one already.
