Your Horoscope for the Week of December 21

Ho, ho, ho! This week’s horoscope is less messy, but just as juicy. The Winter Solstice ushers in the Sun’s ingress into Capricorn on December 21. The new season brings a sense of closeness, as we fully embrace cuffing season. The same day, Venus in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces, urging us to keep our hearts close to our chest. Venus enters Capricorn on December 24, giving us a chance to work hard for love and respect. Before Venus moves into Capricorn, it'll aspect Neptune in Pisces, while still in Sagittarius, creating delusion and illusion in relationships. Try to romanticize less and be more pragmatic.

Aries

Don't allow yourself to get too distracted by problems at work when you're with family and friends over the holiday. This is a moment when you should be present, not worrying over emails your boss is sending. Take a beat if it gets overwhelming and recenter yourself. Be serene, Aries!

Taurus

Buyer beware of any scams that you might fall for before you click purchase and complete payment. Ensure that the designer bag you're spending big bucks on is authentic and not a fake. You don't want to be a fool and bamboozled. It can happen to anyone, but not you!

Gemini

Even though you want to run free into the sunset and be wild at heart, you’re being cautious to protect yourself. The last thing you want is to jump into a situation not knowing what to expect. Be direct to see if your crush can live up to their potential.

Cancer

You've got cabin fever! Instead of being copped and coupled up in your room for days, you are longing to travel. If that is the case, book the first flight out of the cold and into warmer temperatures. After all, your idea of luxuriating is being crabby on the beach.

Leo

When push comes to shove, you can get a little fired and fed up if you don't get your way. Prepare yourself for a minor letdown, but be aware that the tides are constantly shifting and the wheel of fortune is always turning. They'll be moving in your favor soon.

Virgo

The festivities around you are popping but you're craving some time with your besties to catch up. You do not have to go big and have a lavish night on the town when you prefer to have tea time (to be clear, that means gossip and hot beverages!).

Libra

The weather outside might be frightful, but the fire and warmth at home are so delightful. Cozy season is here, and with that comes the opportunity to get comfy in your PJs. You won’t regret taking time off from the outside world to center your energy by watching holiday rom-coms.

Scorpio

Consider this your motto for the week: “Curiosity might have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” It may take longer than expected to get to the bottom of matters, but once you do, your investigative senses will be happy. Stay the course by asking questions and checking facts.

Sagittarius

The road ahead is confusing. You may feel like you're in a real-life version of “the upside down.” Once you get your head above water over the weekend, the vibe will be less murky and more enlightening. You’ll encounter unforeseen issues along the way, so be careful in the journey.

Capricorn

We all have versions of stories that we share; we sometimes add flair to them to make ourselves look better. However, the exaggerations will likely be questioned. Be careful with the tale you tell, as it may get you in trouble if you don't have screenshots to back it up.

Aquarius

Send a well-thought-out message to the group text, inviting them to meet up for a game night instead of happy hour drinks at the local bar. Watch out for competitive behavior that transpires. Remember, the evening is supposed to be fun, not a source of stress or frustration.

Pisces

You're excited to plan and plot the white elephant gift you are giving, to the point where you are even selecting the best wrapping paper to match the present. You don't care about what you're receiving in return, since you love to see the joyful smiles on other people’s faces.
