Your December 2023 horoscope is in, with a whole lot to sift through. If you’re someone who likes to spend this time tying up loose ends so you can move into the new year unencumbered, the good news is that you’ll be astrologically supported this month. Mercury enters Capricorn on the 1st and stations retrograde on the 13th, making a number of productive aspects along the way. Yes, this means the typical Mercury Retrograde rules will apply throughout the month—itineraries may need to be revised on the spot, traffic might be a bigger nuisance than usual, and airports may test your patience. But for the most part, this looks like the kind of climate that will support us in solving problems, fine-tuning our plans, and reorganizing our calendars for 2024, especially during the first three weeks of December.

On the 23rd, Mercury backtracks into Sagittarius, where it runs into some messy aspects with Mars and Neptune on the 27th. While the end of the month actually features some nice astrology (which means we do go out on a high note), there are some snags to contend with. Holiday travel might be more stressful and chaotic than usual, and we might blunder our way into arguments with loved ones, despite our best intentions. It won’t hurt to take an extra beat this month—before traveling, or speaking.
That said, there’s a heart-opening trine between Venus and Neptune on the 25th, a very cozy Cancer full moon on the 26th, a cautiously optimistic Sun/Jupiter trine on the 27th, then we end the year on a swell of anticipation as Jupiter stations direct on the 30th. There’s an abundance of good cheer (and holiday spirit) to make up for any stress we incur along the way, and there will be a palpable sense that we’re moving forward, despite our recent hardships. Wherever you happen to be in the world this New Year’s Eve, don’t turn down an opportunity to observe how far you’ve come, or to tap into the collective mood of celebration.
