Sagittarius—Your December Horoscope Wants You to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
The sun is shining in your sign through the first few weeks of the month, so your Sagittarius horoscope for December 2023 is full of sparkly new beginnings. You’re having your solar return, after all, so it’s time to party! With go-getter Mars in your sign all month, too, you’ll have added motivation and passion to take action toward your goals before the year ends.
Spend this first week of December wrapping up your holiday shopping, as Mercury retrograde kicks off in your finance sector on December 12 PT/December 13 ET, and it could contribute to money mix-ups or regrettable purchases. Gift receipts are a great idea. Just before this pesky retrograde, we’ll have an exhilarating new moon in Sagittarius, and it’s the perfect time for you to set a special birthday intention. The luminaries are joining forces in your zodiac sign for the last new moon of the year—and they’re bolstered by the red-hot magic of nearby Mars—so embrace your hopes, dreams, and desires without fear. The sun will harmonize with the North Node of Destiny this week, too, pushing you out of your comfort zone to connect with your passions. Now’s a time to follow your heart and allow your excitement to guide you toward your higher calling.
We officially bid Sagittarius season and autumn adieu during the winter solstice on December 21, at which point practical matters of money and resources will demand extra attention. Use the mental clarity of the Mercury cazimi the following day to take stock of your financial situation before the year comes to an end. Mercury retrograde begins its backtrack through Capricorn on December 23, so the effects of this retrograde may hit a little closer to home for the rest of the month. Holiday drama may test your patience, so embrace your free-spiritedness and try to go with the flow.
The final week of December is packed with action. An emotional full moon in Cancer on December 26 brings deeply-buried feelings bubbling up to the surface, and a lunar connection to your ruling planet Jupiter infuses these experiences with growth, luck, and meaning. Dig deep and expand your inner horizons! The following day, clever Mercury and fiery Mars conjoin in your sign, giving you a mental energy boost that’ll inspire you to express yourself freely. Your glow-up really starts once love planet Venus waltzes into your sign on December 29, infusing all that you do with its signature sweetness and charm. Finally, on December 30, your abundant cosmic ruler Jupiter wraps up its annual retrograde, pushing you into the new year with an exciting spark of momentum.
