As we approach the end of the year, allow yourself some grace by congratulating yourself on all that you’ve done instead of focusing on what you’re yet to achieve. As for the planets, the sun and action planet Mars have both entered spontaneous Sagittarius, so you might already be feeling a renewed sense of energy. Harness this power to get you through Mercury retrograde, which starts on December 13 in serious Capricorn. But don’t fret; you can use these last few weeks of the year to really dig deep and set tangible goals for the new year.
Keep reading below for this month’s horoscopes, and make sure to check both your sun and rising signs.

Taurus December Horoscope
It’s OK to voice what you truly want this chatty Sag season. With Venus entering Scorpio early this month, you might feel a desire for more intimacy in your love life. You don’t need to be a happobijin — remember, a friend to all is a friend to none. Don’t hold back on account of those around you. Those that truly care about you will always stick around.
Gemini December Horoscope
This month is looking to be a social one for you, Gemini. While you’re busy celebrating the holidays with your loved ones, Venus moves into your sixth house of health and organization. Make sure you’re prioritizing your routine and assess any risks or consequences before diving into a crazy night with your besties. Try out meditation this month to keep yourself grounded.
Cancer December Horoscope
You’re going to be a busy bee this month, both in your career and social life. But ‘busy’ doesn’t have to mean stressed. Just be mindful of what you say yes to.

Embrace the brashness of Sag season as the sun beams on your third house of communication and social activity. Be emboldened to speak your mind, and if you ever feel a little too out of your comfort zone, remember that you can always lean into the support of your community.
