After the year of revenge travel (and flight costs rising with a similar vengeance), tourism might be settling into relative homeostasis in 2024. Then again, everything has changed, including the terrain of where you’ll want to go next, and maybe even the order of your bucket list.

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.

Your November 2023 horoscope is all about rebuilding what got knocked down, course-correcting plans that are no longer viable, and fixing ourselves in the mirror after the disheveling impact of last month’s eclipses. Although you might encounter some adversity along the way, it’s time to draft up new marching orders this month—and, for a large part, you can expect to feel up to the task.

September may have left you feeling a bit spoiled by life, or at least satiated and content—but your October 2023 horoscope signals a change in the tides. The winds kick up in the month ahead with the drama and whiplash of eclipse season, alongside a newly energized Mars that will rouse the sleeping dogs and motivate you to go after your goals following its Scorpio ingress on October 12.

Your September 2023 horoscope is in. After a stressful, contentious July and a somewhat disorienting August, the month ahead offers us a breath of fresh air—and some of the year’s best astrology. Venus goes direct on the 3rd, in tandem with Jupiter stationing retrograde on the 4th. Through the entire end of August and most of September, the two most pleasure-granting, wish-fulfilling planets will be egging each other on (and tempting us toward an excess of “the good life”). This not only brings closure to this summer’s Venus Retrograde story, but also grants us a conclusion we can probably feel satisfied with. If nothing else, this is probably not the month to try to travel on an austerity budget—good food and a vibrant social scene beckon.

Your August 2023 horoscope reflects a journey through this summer’s Venus Retrograde. Venus essentially making a remix—this is the time to notice how the goal posts of your values and desires have shifted. Maybe you revisit an old love or artistic muse. If you’re on the road this month, you might find yourself physically, or emotionally, back in a familiar setting where your heart was once on fire. The question to ask this time is: What lights you up now?
