Your Monthly Horoscopes: December 2020

Listen up everyone, the paradigm shift is upon us! Not to be overly dramatic, but December is a portal. The astrology of this month is setting us up for what’s to come in 2021 and the years to come. 2020 taught us that the only way out is to dive in headfirst, and now it’s time to embrace the change it takes to get there. It’s still Sagittarius season as the month begins and Mercury moves into the archer’s sign on the 1st, encouraging us to not only dream the impossible dream but to tell the whole world about it. There’s no limit, word count or filter that can get in the way of what needs to be communicated.

Things really start to get juicy at the solar eclipse in Sagittarius on the 14th. Solar eclipses are the catharsis that comes with a fresh start, and in Sagittarius, we can look forward to embarking on an unexpected adventure or philosophical pursuit. Venus joins the party in Sagittarius on the 15th bringing some much-needed amusement to our relationships. When’s the last time we truly had fun?

On the 17th comes a major shift as Saturn—planet of structure and discipline—enters Aquarius, where the ringed planet brings rapid improvements to technology and structural change to our communities. Those born with Saturn in Aquarius are known as innovative leaders from Yoko Ono to Kamala Harris to Cardi B. Jupiter also enters Aquarius on the 19th, and the two planets meet on the 21st for their rare Great Conjunction. This once-in-20-year aspect represents a cultural reset. It’s finally time for a blank slate and a fresh start.

Also on the 21st is the winter solstice as the sun enters Capricorn—happy birthday to our responsible yet kinky sea goats. The full moon in Cancer on the 29th is a sweet culmination to all the upheaval of 2020. Full moons illuminate a situation and this one is the light at the end of the tunnel. We made it!

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that will provide further insight.)

Mercury enters your sign on the 1st and all those words you haven’t been able to find since October slide off the tongue effortlessly. The solar eclipse on the 14th is also in your sign and brings a shakeup to your personal expression. This eclipse feels like an identity crisis, but try not to do anything drastic. Stick to a simple catharsis like semi-permanent dye or purging your closets rather than booking the next ticket to Maui. Jupiter moves into Aquarius on the 19th, which immediately improves your vibe. Then, the Great Conjunction on the 21st gets you inspired to volunteer and organize in your community. You’ve done so much work to gather your resources so now it’s time to share them.
