Discover insights for the months ahead with WellBeing’s December & January horoscopes. Guidance for every sign!
Virgo
Virgo, your willingness to serve others and to be the background powerhouse often makes you a catalyst for change. December 4-8 might urge you to run from the responsibilities you have gathered, yet this too will pass. Saturn, in your partner sign, has maximised demands and pressure for two years, and you are ready for an easier time. But are you ready to be easier on yourself? If the answer is yes, then December 13-20 provides a good start. Family is testing ground. Start small, restrain any criticism from December 25-28, then January 5-19 brings a satisfying turning point.
Libra
Ruled by lovely Venus, you seek balance, harmony, justice, cooperation. Hard work to achieve, as these goals attract responsibilities that often come with stress. Venus offers you a shift into sharper-focus self-determination from December 7-January 3. Potent points of the Venus cycle are December 8, 12, 13 and 20 potentially stepping stones to a new life plan. Avoid retreating into doubt on December 28, then January 3 will bring clarity, when Crescent Moon and Venus embrace. Visible in the West after sunset, this is a time for personal healing. Waxing Moon energy opens new paths, when January 14’s Full Moon illuminates vocational options.
Scorpio
It is an arousing time for Scorpio in December and January. Your go-get ruler Mars is in Leo, beginning a rare retro cycle on December 7. Since Pluto, lord of the depths, has settled in Aquarius, opposite signs now polarise your two rulers. Your ability to hold the tension of opposites is the key, when this process intensifies from January 1-3’s New Year. Hidden family dynamics can now become the wellspring for your vocational success. Give this hidden source of energy time to mature. Uranus is reinvigorating your partnerships and is well placed at Full Moon. This makes January 13-17 effective and satisfying.
Sagittarius
The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 1 aligns with Mercury and is energised by Mars. This fiery combination suits your adventurous nature and gets grand plans rolling. Yet Mercury is retro, prompting a go-slow review of all plans, perhaps obstacles, on December 4-7. It is timely to reconnect with old friends, to unearth old ideas. Mercury moves ahead on December 16, right after an exciting Full Moon. Your significant others dominate your attention from December 13-20. Adventures and plans that spark excitement likely fall into place on January 5-13, despite doubts on January 7. Home and family time warms your heart, from January 19-27.
Capricorn
December is full of happy contradictions: Your ruler Saturn offers a dream of being in charge of your life, yet defended, safe. Meanwhile, Venus is in Capricorn, makings cosy links with Saturn, singing songs of pleasure, letting go, unwinding. In the first week of December, Venus hooks up with Uranus, who laughs at limits and breaks rules. On December 5, the Sun squares of to Saturn, then in late December, planets Mercury and Jupiter do the same. They all prompt more fun, less worries. Try juggling these alternative mindsets. You just might find that between December 31’s New Moon in Capricorn and January 13-14’s Full Moon, life becomes a lighter, softer, interesting place.
Aquarius
Pluto in Aquarius gradually transforms your perspective on life. Thinking skills, and your mode of operation within groups, reaches a deeper terrain, as personal seismic shifts start small. December 8 brings Venus into Aquarius, a chance to embody the tasty Venus energy of love and connection. Challenges of December 27-28, and January 2-4, can disrupt your relationship dynamics. Yet these short shake-ups are actually wake-up calls. Emotional intelligence, a hard- won gift, claims further space within your knowledge base now. January 13-27 opens the path to this, with January 24 the testing ground. Let choices be guided by heart’s wisdom.
Pisces
December grabs Pisces’ attention. How you voice yourself in your world and everything to do with family are spotlighted. Recent changes suggest building new structures that fit your current priorities. With the planet of “work hard” and the planet of “live the dream” both in Pisces, life is complicated. Both Saturn and Neptune have valid claims on you, but December favours Neptune’s vision. December 5 and December 8-20 are good times to connect, talk, feel your way and to discern the worthy dreams. January is Saturn’s time, when December 31’s New Moon through to January 14’s Full Moon help you build structures that support those dreams.
Aries
Communicator Mercury, retro in your adventure sign from November 26-December 16, impelling you to ask “what really stirs me?” regarding travel and learning. Then your ruler Mars goes retro as well, on December 7. Old hopes resurface, with love and creativity getting an inside-out perspective. Hard truths may emerge from December 27-January 3, yet these clarify your priorities. Honouring the importance of family and feeling truly at home in yourself are prime goals through January. From January 13-15, with a Full Moon in your family sign, easy changes unfold. To let go of regrets and to claim the real treasures, is your path.
Tarus
While peace-loving, tenacious and persevering by nature, Uranus in Taurus has sometimes challenged your inner peace. While December 3-5 evokes a deep sense of acceptance with the changes in your life, December 8-12 unearths tricky, complex emotions. When a Uranus change-cycle that started mid-May comes to its final challenge from December 27-29, flexibility and an open heart are essentials. Navigate this, and a much easier January unfolds. Your ruler Venus, now exalted in Pisces, brings Earth/Water harmonies. This paves a path highlighting January 5-13 and 17-24 as perfect containers for the new life force rising within you.
Gemini
Your trickster planet Mercury moves retro through Sagittarius from November 26-December 16. Now, you will recall past friends and lovers, as part of a letting-go process. While December 6 is illuminating, and December 8 compelling, December 15-16 is the most energising of all. Gemini Full Moon and Mercury direct inspire you to allow more love into your life, to listen to heart’s wisdom, despite head’s desire to lead. Happy events are attracted when Venus’s compelling love song dominates on December 13-21. Resist self- sabotaging impulses from December 27-January 3, then the rhythms of January 5 and January 13-31 will be satisfying indeed.
Cancer
Now, evening star Venus shines her light into your secret concerns for the people you love. A driven water sign, you easily weave loving care into security. From December 3-5, Venus helps you find the larger process of love’s flow. Refuse to doubt yourself around December 15-19! December 31’s New Moon illuminates your partner sign, healing your heart. You are ruled by the Moon and January 2025 reminds you how lunar you are. With Mars now retro in Cancer, energy and emotions are strong, and private. January 13-20 brings your Cancer Full Moon, as well as six planets, into sweet harmonies. Celebrating makes good sense.
Leo
A sense of being at peace, and strong in yourself, is linked to Mars which is now in Leo. Fiery harmonies energise November 27-December 6. Yet on December 7, Mars begins its rare retro cycle. Now, impulses you have taken for granted and issues of dominance demand a closer look. December 13-20 easily supports this process, while December 27-28 likely brings hard reminders. The most challenging point is Mars retro opposing Pluto, from January 2-3. Be the peacemaker if an issue from early November comes back! By January 5, you are on a roll, with January 13-20 heart- soothing times.
