Your Monthly Horoscopes: December 2020

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.
