Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):
Hey doll, brace yourself for new opportunities this month. Starting Dec. 4 with the eclipse, life is going to start getting a lot more unpredictable. So, don’t get too comfortable in the routine you finally set yourself in. During the retrograde of Venus (Dec. 19), take time to review your romantic relationships. It is okay to clarify your feelings to your love interests, but try not to be too abrasive.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20):
While the sun is still in Sagittarius, allow yourself to focus on inner reflection. There isn’t a need to get irrationally angry with everyone, this month is about meditation. When Venus goes into retrograde, expect life to get shaken up a bit. This won’t necessarily be a bad thing. Just try to stay positive love, and everything will work itself out.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
Gemini, darling, relationships are very central for you this month. We know how “loyal” you can be, but look into shaking up your inner circle before all the things you’ve said behind their backs catch up to you. With the eclipse on Dec. 4, you may even find an unexpected twin flame. Just don’t latch on too quickly as Venus’s retrograde is going to bring up some past issues with people you might’ve wronged (or who have wronged you). Try and stay stable, babe, you might just have to tweak your plans a little bit. Your goal will still be achieved (we think)
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
This month, the emotional roadblocks between you and your goals are finally becoming less important and you’ll be able to keep your eyes on the prize. Declutter your room and your feelings as Neptune’s retrograde comes to an end (Dec. 1) and you start to see the big picture again. Venus’s retrograde at the end of the month (Dec. 19) causes even more complications in your love life and friendships, even though the sun will be encouraging partnership at this time. You might find yourself needing to exit the situation altogether as Saturn and Uranus clash on Dec. 24.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
This month will be rocky for your relationships. Listen babe, let your partner have some of the attention for once. Instead of setting aside personal affairs to reach ambitious goals, stop and listen to what they have to say. The Venus retrograde (Dec. 19) will heighten these issues throughout the month until Jan. 29. Sometimes it is smart to stop and listen to what your partner is telling you.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Don’t rock the boat during the retrograde.
Look forward to strengthening your friendships this month. As Neptune ends its retrograde, your partnerships will feel stronger than they have in a while. Stay out of your anxiety fueled thoughts while this harmony lasts. So dearest, try not to rock the boat during the Venus retrograde with your perfectionist tendencies. You have much to look forward to, just relax (please just this one time).
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Hey babe, so sorry for all the disorganization the past month, we know how much you love it. Once Neptune leaves retrograde on Dec. 1, you should start to feel a lot more balanced. Sadly, Venus’s retrograde soon after on Dec. 19 is moving through your domestic relationships, which could severely disrupt a core foundational relationship in your life. Now is the time to finally talk about that problem you’ve been pushing off. C’mon, you’re too into inner peace for that; get it over and done with.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Hey love! You’re going to have an incredibly prosperous December until the 21, when the sun moves into sociable Capricorn making you distractible, but ready for fun! Be selective though, as Venus retrograde on Dec. 19 will cause tension in your circles. Even though tough conversations will come as Saturn and Uranus disagree (Dec. 24), we know you’ll end the year with grace, just keep your communication clear, dearest.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Alright, the first three weeks of December are going to build you up. Expect a rise in confidence and poise. You deserve it dear. However, through the Venus retrograde (Dec. 19), expect to uncertainty to arise. Don’t rush any decisions that you make this month. Take time to weigh your options (but not too much time).
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
This month, work on being less judgemental. This is not just a callout, good things can come for you this month if you open yourself up. Be experimental in your friendships and relationships and perhaps you will be able to deepen those connections. Let go of past relationships or friendships, babe. The Sagittarius New Moon is setting you up to heal for the next few months.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): We hate to be the bearers of terrific news, but you’re in for a great month Aquarius babe. This Dec. 4 eclipse is going to keep you feeling inspired, and you’ll need it for the chaotic ending to the month. The Dec. 24 battle between Saturn and Uranus will cause you to question your boundaries with people. Just look at how much you’ve grown this year and think about what you truly deserve.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Sweetheart, we’re so sorry about all the difficulties the past few months, but we promise better things are in store for you this December! Coming up, you’re finally going to feel better about your ability to make plans and long-term goals as the ruling planet Neptune ends its five-month retrograde (Dec. 1) and the sun enters fiery Sagittarius. New for you, huh? Just tread lightly when it comes to relationships as Venus moves into retrograde (Dec. 19) and disrupts your inner harmony.
