Virgo—Your December Horoscope Says Mercury Retrograde Is Reigniting Your Passion
Your Virgo horoscope for December 2023 delivers plenty of heartfelt holiday moments, as Sagittarius season activates your cozy and domestic fourth house. But there’s also plenty of fun, drama, and excitement in store—and you can thank your clever cosmic ruler Mercury for most of that!
The month begins with mental Mercury lighting up your fun-loving fifth house, ushering in all sorts of creative inspiration and flirty conversations. Positive connections to both disciplined Saturn and party-hardy Jupiter during the first week of December make it a great time to put ideas in motion when it comes to passion projects and romantic endeavors alike. Trust that your current plans have lasting potential—they just need to make it through the ebbs and flows of Mercury retrograde before they fully get off the ground.
Speaking of Mercury retrograde, it officially begins late-night on December 12, so beware of old dating matches creeping back into your inbox after pulling a disappearing act. If you keep your wits about you, getting lost in the fantasy of an old flame could be fun, especially given that dreamy planet Neptune just wrapped up its retrograde in your relationship zone a few days prior. Also on December 12, a new moon in Sagittarius rises in your home and family sector, so it’s a great time to fully tidy up your living space or reach out to loved ones ahead of the holidays.
Once the sun enters fellow earth sign Capricorn on December 21 and heralds in the winter solstice, it’s time to lighten up and have some fun. Capricorn season’s down-to-business vibe wants you to get serious about enjoying your free time. It’s the end of the year, and you deserve some cheer! Use the clear-minded energy of the Mercury cazimi on December 22 to connect with whatever passions have been circling back into your heart thus far into the retrograde.
As the month comes to a close, a gorgeous full moon in Cancer helps you get aligned with the collective in a meaningful way. Tap into your naturally altruistic side and channel all that fresh creativity and compassion into some greater causes. Your voice makes a difference, and don’t forget it. By the time you ring the New Year’s bells, the moon will be in your sign, forming a magical grand earth trine with the sun lucky Jupiter. You’re welcoming 2024 with an innate sense of harmony, peace, and groundedness—enjoy!
