December Horoscope 2018 – Overview
As we enter December 2018, Mercury Retrograde still has its grip! We have six more days of chaotic communication and technology-related snafus. Once retrograde concludes, it’s a load of bricks off our backs!
From the 1st-2nd, Venus Opposes Uranus. Here, we might be anxious about the changes in the realm of love. If our romantic life has seen a decline in “heat,” then it’s up to us add some spice! The Universe urges us to take some risks.
As co-creators of our own realities, we can benefit from some fresh excitement in a romantic relationship. Singles are in for a new adventure while actively seeking a partner. The romantic pursuits in early December are further encouraged when Venus enters Scorpio on December 2nd.
The Sun Square Neptune, Mars Conjunct Neptune, and Mercury going Direct transits make December a month full of exciting, if not challenging possibilities. With the Sun Square Neptune transit, secrecy is not something we’ll want to partake of now. Even with Mercury Direct, it’s better for us to stay on the “up and up” with what we share with others.
From December 15-17th, the Venus Sextile Saturn transit has us all craving the social limelight. Whether we spend time with friends, family, or a lover, every one of us is desiring attention. The combination of holiday cheer and good tidings has all of us looking to be loved and to express it in return.
A Mars Sextile Pluto transit enters on December 16th-18th to give us an energy boost right before the holidays. Now we’re able to get that last-minute shopping done and to prepare for the family gatherings. We’ll feel our drive intensify.
A Sun trine Uranus influence plays out from the 20th-21st on Winter Solstice. The Same day the Sun enters Capricorn. The period instills the desire to try things foreign to us. Our psychic abilities are heightened. It’s an excellent time for divination.
The 21-22nd also sees the Mercury Conjunct Jupiter and Venus Trine Neptune transit. We’re thinking about self-improvement, particularly with mind and learning. We’re also more generous with time; this period is excellent for volunteer work.
The 22nd sees the Full Moon in Cancer. The holidays fall under the Mercury trine Neptune transit, and the month gets rounded out with the Venus sextile Neptune transit. Our emotions seem more intense. We may struggle with expression. We find relief through creative outlets.
