Your Weekly Horoscope Predicts Unexpected Changes, Especially in Love & Money

Your horoscope for the week of December 17 to 23 says the planets are stirring the pot and throwing curveballs your way. This year’s holiday season is filled with endless antics and shenanigans, so no, it’s not just you. Brace yourselves, because 2024 is just around the corner.

You’re on your way toward a Mercury retrograde-related realization about your life and your overall needs, as Mercury will form a trine with expansive and open-minded Jupiter—which also happens to be retrograde—on December 18. This will help you connect the dots in a major way, bringing a big idea into focus. You may realize you overlooked or miss something, prompting you to retrace your steps and review something once more. On December 19, a last quarter moon in Pisces will purge some of those emotions you’ve been keeping bottled up, as they’ve been clouding your judgment and inhibiting your flow.

Prepare for unexpected changes in your love life and surprises in your financial status, as luxurious Venus will oppose erratic Uranus on December 21. While you may feel like you’re walking on unstable ground and unsure of where you stand, a little shakeup can also spice things up. One thing’s for sure—when Uranus is involved, the last thing you’d expect to happen happens.

Mercury retrograde picks up speed by the end of the week, forming a sextile with karmic Saturn on December 21 and a conjunction with the Capricorn sun on December 22. This could bring a problem, issue, or error to light, but it will also put you in the right headspace to deal with it and find a practical solution. Take a deep breath, because it’s once Mercury retrograde re-enters Sagittarius on December 23 that the real chaos begins.
