Your Horoscope For December 2018

It's the last month of the year! And it starts with Mercury in retrograde. Find out what the end of 2018 holds for you.
By Jessica Lanyadoo

This month kicks off with some mental fuzziness as Mercury is in retrograde until the 6th, and we have Mars and the sun dancing with idealistic Neptune. The new moon will bring with it bright ideas — just make sure not to gossip, because what you hear now may not be the whole story. The full moon on the 22nd has a similar arc — be careful of jumping to conclusions and stirring the pot, or you may succeed in creating problems on top of problems.

It’s the end of the year and a beautiful time for reflection. Use the shift of Mars into Aries on the 31st to activate powerful resolutions. Happy 2019, my loves!

Horoscopes December 2018

Sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

You have support all around you, but it’s on you to accept it, Sagittarius. This month may find you feeling restless, because you are ready to transition how you are the way you are. Align yourself with the bigger picture, especially around the new moon in your sign on the 6th. Make use of your opportunities — even your difficult ones — by bringing intention to your responses, but you don’t have to go it alone this month.

Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You can plan it all out and do everything right, and still you might fail. You can account for all factors, and still surprises may come out of left field. The point is not to try so hard to control outcomes that waste your precious energies or you lose track of your self-worth, Capricorn. You are not what you do — you are so much more. Show up, do your best, and then let go, Capricorn.

Aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

It’s time to take up more space in your own life, Aquarius. When you take up more space, you run the risk of taking heat for it, but you also are able to be more whole. It’s time to seek balance, but make sure to do it with consideration of the lessons you’ve learned in recent months, my love. You are in a special position to grow beyond even your own expectations, but you’ve got to start with willingness to outgrow some things.

Pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

When you come to the end of a cycle it tends to kick up intense emotions, even if you’ve worked long and hard to get here. A little patience will go a long way this month. It’s OK to take a break, Pisces, as long as you use that break to restore instead of just check out. Support your heart through the inevitable questions and choices that December will provoke by taking your time and taking care of yourself.

Aries

March 21-April 19

When a light burns too bright it tends to burn out quickly. You don’t need to do all of the things as quickly as possible, Aries. Take time this month to assess what you need in the context of where you’re at so that you don’t drive yourself mad, my love. As we reach the end of 2018, it’s time to give yourself permission to adopt a more reasonable pace. Honour all of your needs and not just your ambitions, my love.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

As things change all around you, it’s important that you have healthy boundaries, Taurus. Instead of assuming a defensive position, try to leave yourself open. You can say no to whatever you want to, but don’t say no before you’ve investigated. If you have real confidence in yourself you don’t need to know what’s coming, because you trust that you’ll be able to handle it, no matter what it is. Believe in yourself and set yourself on a course for greater thriving, instead of just surviving.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

The healing power of love is like a salve for your soul, but it’s not the shopping trip you need to take in order to buy that salve at the store, my friend. Pair self-care, and tending to your personal affairs, with real life, nuts-and-bolts action, Twin Star. You don’t need to have perfect balance between the two, but you do need to be weary of prioritizing one too much over the other. You’re at the precipice of major growth; strive to do the work.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

It’s time to create closure, Moonchild. Things are changing in profound ways, and it’d be easy, even if it isn’t wise, to respond to it with fear. It’s time for you to honour your feelings, your needs, and your limits, and to finally shift how you hold your experiences. How you participate is the one thing you can control in life. Find your agency and honour it this month.

Leo

July 23-Aug. 22

When you’ve overextended yourself it’s hard to see the options in front of you. This month is likely to kick up some majorly anxious feelings within you, but it’s important that you don’t check out, Leo. Take responsibility for how you’ve said yes to things you would have done better to say no to. Be brave enough to face the truth of what you’re feeling and where you’re at, so you can close out 2018 with clarity, my love.

Virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

This isn’t the time to confuse the discomfort of change with your inner voice saying no, because once your ruling planet goes direct on the 6th it’s time to mobilize. This month will meet you with opportunities to grow your life, but you need to start with your assumptions, attitudes, and emotions, Virgo. Don’t waste time rearranging chairs on the Titanic — make meaningful adjustments to what you want to grow, and be willing to walk away from what is no longer serving you.

Libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

You’re changing and it’s wonderful and scary and time, Libra. The full moon on the 22nd is going to bring things to the surface, so spend the time leading up to it getting honest. If you believe in your right to assert your needs, you don’t need to be defensive; you just need to be clear. Watch your ego so that you don’t unwittingly create the very drama you’re trying to avoid, dear one.

Scorpio

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

It’s easy to think about how you would act or react in a certain situation, but it’s often a whole other thing when you’re actually there. Spend the first week of the month updating your beliefs and attitudes, because by the new moon on the 6th, you’ll have to put your wisdom into practice, Scorpio. Don’t let your anxieties or fear of being different stop you from showing up with compassion, strength, and authenticity, my love.
