What December has in store for your star sign
Want to know what's in store for your star sign for December 2023? It's all in the cards...
As we come to winter at last, the final seasonal turn of the wheel occurs on 22nd December: a time for reflection, restoration, deep rest, and preparation for unfurling and unfolding come spring. But first, of course, festivities and celebration!
That spirit is helped along by Neptune turning direct on the 6th December bringing back a child-like, whimsical, fantasy edge to our daily lives. Be romantic, imaginative, and playful. Bring magic into your everyday life. A New Moon in Sagittarius on the 12th December adds adventure and expansion to the mix – anything is possible when your energy and vibration is high, and this is the season to feel good! Use that energy to get what you want! Attract positivity and opportunity by being open, welcoming, and joyful.
A Mercury Retrograde can’t be ignored but shouldn’t be dwelled on - perhaps just double check your tech, travel and business projects from the 14th December (until 2nd January). The Full Moon in Cancer on the 26th helps us focus on family, close relationships, healing, and nurturing, which is a wonderful way to enjoy your festive break. And the year ends with a lovely twist through Jupiter turning direct on the 30th- restoring all of our joy, abundance, good fortune and plain luck. Fortune favours the bold, so end December with a bang! Play a bold hand, take a chance, do something big.
ARIES
(Two of Wands, Three of Coins, Temperance)
Let someone you respect change your mind this month. I bet that sounds like torture for you and you (big) ego, Aries, but trust me when I say that this is going to be a game changer. Live and learn. Only the wise man knows he really knows very little, if nothing.
The Three of Coins shows you interacting with someone who has an influence over you, a positive one, and they regard you highly. Listen well to their story or ideas or opinion. They have an angle you haven’t thought about. Temperance shows you shifting your position and stance. Good for you. Don’t get stuck in ideology or old thinking. Move on, refresh, recalibrate. The Two of Wands shows this will help focus your mind on something worthwhile. This new opinion opens up new options. Embrace them.
TAURUS
(Death, The Chariot, King of Coins)
This trio of cards really feels like it’s spelling out a new role, place of work, home or even location altogether! And it’s a rewarding move, so look up and aim high. Death shows you moving through a transition that is significant and lasting. You are changing and this refreshed outlook brings new decisions, activity and behaviours too. Don’t resist this process of transformation, lean into it.
The Chariot is another power card reflecting focus with intent, purposefulness, direction and ambition. It can also hint at literal movement and change of location. Both cards combine to provoke a destiny-changing moment of clarity which leads to a new pathway! The King of Coins shows riches, rewards, and recognition lie ahead. And that you are growing, evolving, expanding, and developing into a bigger, better version of yourself. You are moving upwards. Look ahead. Have high hopes.
GEMINI
(King of Cups, Nine of Swords, King of Swords)
No one can deny their emotional state like a Gemini, it’s almost an Olympic sport level activity for you (I speak plainly as I am a Gemini myself). The Nine of Swords reveals you have felt low, anxious, unsettled for a while now. A mood of discontent and unhappiness has underpinned much of what should’ve been achievements and happy moments.
Gemini, it doesn’t have to be like this. Don’t struggle on in this way. The King of Cups asks you to find a confidant, friend, mentor, or counsellor and unleash these emotions. They have gotten pent up and blocked and are weighing you down. Release! When you name and out them, they lose their hold over you and can start to dissipate, leaving you free to move to the next step. And this is a key stage.
The King of Swords wants you razor sharp again so you can make some BIG plans for 2024. You have much to offer, experience, and do. You need to get your game back. Make steps, feel better, unleash, look ahead. Life is good.
CANCER
(Ace of Swords, King of Wands, Knight of Swords)
A chance and unseen opportunity to unburden yourself and have a soul-searching conversation that leads to a new era will emerge out of the blue this December - spot it, grab it, and use it. Conversation and dialogue is what keeps life moving along. What we keep inside gets ~stuck~ and we remain in a limbo with it. What we share gets released and leads to action, reaction, or a new mood and feeling.
The Ace of Swords and Knight of Swords sees you speaking your mind, and it takes a lot to really get you to that point. You are infinitely patient and wary of upsetting anyone (because your heightened sensitivity means you know how it feels to be hurt). Sometimes this stops you building the authentic connection you yearn for, however, because your silence or inaction speaks its own story, even if it’s not the one you want them to read. The King of Wands is that rare and spontaneous moment, the right time to say what you REALLY feel. Don’t miss it. This is golden.
LEO
(Seven of Coins, Ace of Cups, Seven of Cups)
2024 looks like being a game changer year for you, Leo. The Seven of Coins is that evolution, that shift, that pivot which puts you onto a new pathway. Old ways will fall behind you and new outlooks and ideas will emerge in front of you. Look ahead with big hopes. The groundwork starts now!
The Ace and Seven of Cups are both highly imaginative and creative cards urging you to bring forth whatever daydreams and fantasies you harbour in your head. They can be blueprints for the life you’re going to manifest in 2024! Use them!
Also, the Ace of Cups hints at a new winter romance or deep friendship, possibly with a Water sign (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer) and possibly with someone who is highly creative, maybe working in the arts. So, look out for such a character and smile your brightest Leo smile because this could be special.
VIRGO
(Knight of Coins, Five of Cups, Three of Cups)
All the ingredients for a great December in Virgo Land are there: hard work with rewards, a nostalgic mood, lots of fun and merriment. So, the Knight of Coins is you working hard (as ever) because actually December can be a really busy time, winding the year down, dealing with extra stuff, being busy socially. It’s a lot! Work hard but take your rewards too, ALL of them.
The Five of Cups means you will look back a little this month, thinking about times gone by, maybe people who aren’t around anymore. And you might feel sad, and that’s okay. Light a candle, show that you remember, focus on the good memories, and hold them in your heart. Keep them close.
The Three of Cups is the make merry, have fun, party like a pagan, and enjoy your precious life card. Our time on Earth is short, we only have so many Christmases, so many Winters. Savour the season, make memories, take your time, invest your energy into magical, happy, uplifting activity and people. Make the most of this lovely time of year and enjoy yourself.
LIBRA
(The Devil, Seven of Wands, The Hermit)
Feels like you might have a devil and an angel sat on either shoulder this month ahead, whispering in your ear and advising you… which one do you listen to? Well, that’s the conundrum. Maybe both make good points? Ultimately you decide what to do!
The Seven of Wands shows competition and rivalry in your world, competing options and opportunities and maybe even people. There are demands you need to sift through and challenges to rise to, which you are more than capable of.
The Devil vs The Hermit is perhaps the key part of this rivalry. On the one side, The Devil promises temptation, sexual chemistry, illicit fun, good times with bad people, a walk on the wild side. Fancy some of that? It’s there (if you’re willing to own the consequences). On the other side, The Hermit promises enlightenment, wisdom, contentment, spiritual healing and growth if you focus on your own higher self habits and beliefs. Which one do you obey?
Libra, a bit of both is probably the answer. Temper your temptations but remember you’re not a saint. Live fully. Live well.
SCORPIO
(The Empress, The Lovers, Seven of Swords)
Interesting situationships ahead, Scorpio! Whatever your romantic status is, I think there will be unusual and fascinating dynamics to contend with this December. And that intrigues you! The Empress shows all will end well, with you feeling in love and loved.
Taureans and Librans and Geminis are in the mix for you, should you be single. The Lovers reveals a temptation, a head versus heart decision, perhaps even a love triangle of sorts. You don’t know for sure what you want but you’re determined to find out and maybe you need to pressure test a few things to work it out.
The Seven of Swords asks you to play fair, be moral, don’t treat another in a manner that you’d hate to be on the receiving end of. That said, love is a messy game and you need to test your own boundaries to find out where you best belong. Go figure it out. Be an active participant in this riddle.
SAGITTARIUS
(Queen of Cups, The Hanged Man, Knight of Coins)
This December is a balancing act game for you, because, as ever, you want it all and you’re not going to miss out on anything - but that does mean military-style operational planning, scheduled rest and recovery, and thinking out of the box! Ready? You were born ready, Sag!
The Hanged Man shows your best month is had by approaching things from a left-field angle, a new perspective, a different way of doing things. Look for new tech, shortcuts, faster methods, means and ways of being more efficient and getting more out of the time you put into something.
The Knight of Coins requests hard work and determination - yes, you need to put a shift in to get all your work, chores, and tasks done and dusted but then… the Queen of Cups brings the joy, romance, play time, social whirl, fun and excitement. Make merry and have fun. Reward yourself for your hard work in 2023.
CAPRICORN
(The World, King of Cups, Six of Swords)
As the year draws to a close, your attention turn towards things that you believe are ending, fading or running their course in your realm. Everything has a life cycle and you’re conscious of this. The World is a powerful card, the final card of the tarot and a patron saint of endings which lead to new beginnings, of pinnacles and achievements.
But, of course, after you’ve climbed the mountain… what then? The Six of Swords is a blunter tool, helping you sever ties, connections and commitments which has reached a natural conclusion. You want to enter 2024 feeling untethered and open to new energy and opportunity. You don’t want all this dead weight. Release. This is healing, cathartic and positive. This is not sad or difficult or heart-rending. These closures are natural and necessary.
The King of Cups unlocks a new level of wisdom and self-awareness through this month’s activity. You see the patterns and connections, you join the dots, you gain a deeper understanding of your pathway. Don’t be afraid to move on from what you’ve outgrown.
AQUARIUS
(King of Wands, Two of Wands, The Star)
If you want it all, then you’ve got to go for it all, right? The Star brings you your most heartfelt dreams and visions this December, and they are there for the taking. What are you waiting for? If you don’t grab them, then who will? Don’t sit back and wait.
The Two of Wands brings focus and clarity to the month’s activity. You see clearly what you want to happen, you might even experience a strange vision or foreshadowing of the month’s events… use this to sharpen and refine your actions and decisions. It’s a gift!
The King of Wands brings you courage, vitality, energy, and confidence. You feel like you want the most abundant and fantastical month ever- a finale to a long year. Well, make it happen. You have everything you need. You just need to believe in your daydreams and take steps towards them, the Universe will help you once you’re moving.
PISCES
(Judgment, Knight of Cups, Knight of Swords)
Who are you? What a question to begin with, right? But you often dwell on this and consider your traits and how others perceive or value you. It’s an interesting thought. The Judgment card shows this month will bring a deep and heartfelt epiphany around this theme. You will see yourself all the more clearly and shrewdly. You will specifically understand what your unique talents and gifts are, or the sum of them. And this leads to new decisions about your niche, your path, your career, your education.
The Knights of Cups and Swords are both here, perfectly balancing and countering each other’s energy so this epiphany will please and satisfy both your head AND heart. It’s an intellectual insight as well as an emotive idea. It stirs and moves you. Use it to shape 2024.
