Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
December 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
Your focus is often on your social life and happiness goals this month, dear Aquarius. These are areas of more activity and excitement. For much of December, others see you in a good light, and you enjoy your responsibilities, work, or reputation more than usual. Even with a busy calendar, you seem to enjoy even the most hectic moments, but as the month advances, you take more and more time for yourself to unwind, process, and reflect.
From the New Moon on the 12th, you have a chance to start fresh with a friendship or enjoy the beginning steps of fulfilling a long-term dream. Others' demands on your time can be large this month. You may join or lead clubs and groups, or group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your own goals. You can be called upon to become more involved or to contribute to the group/community. You're looking for inspiration.
It's also an excellent month for progressive ideas and initiative in business and with money. You are discovering new ways of earning, spending, and saving money, and it's exciting! Although you are not moving forward quickly in many other life departments quite yet, events behind the scenes are at play, conspiring to get you back into high gear. You'll have plenty of opportunities to boost your spirits and emotional health through social connections, networking, healing activities, rest, and loving or supportive relationships.
Several bodies turn direct this month, for example, encouraging subtle forward movement and clarity. A money matter that was in limbo may now be released and progress forward. Certain projects look more hopeful. It's a time of the reinvigoration of your spirit, imagination, and perhaps your more fanciful dreams or plans.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 4th and, until the 29th, helps boost your reputation, goals, and responsibilities. Cooperation has its share of rewards. This influence is super for your public image and professional endeavors. You project your value and worth to associates and those in authority, which can positively impact your income, if not now, down the road. You're selling yourself in your career this month, and you have a particular influence on others.
While it's a generally good time to harmonize with others, Mercury's retrograde, beginning in your privacy sector on the 13th, suggests some possible delays or misunderstandings. Some recent decisions or new projects can require reconsideration. It's a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then but entirely relevant now.
On the 21st, the Sun begins its month-long trek through your privacy sector. This yearly event precedes your powerful birthday month and is an important time for looking at what attitudes, circumstances, and dead weights need to go before you begin anew. Carving out time for extra rest, meditation, and reflection is especially helpful now. You might see old problems or projects in a new light.
Listen to your intuition on the 22nd, when ideas for the future can be golden. You may not know all the details yet, but that's just fine–it's about the vision now. Retrograde Mercury retreats into your social sector on the 23rd, where it will remain for the rest of its retrograde cycle (until January 1st) and beyond. Communications with associates, groups, and friends can be subject to misunderstandings. New approaches are necessary for old problems, and while a resolution is not likely to come just yet, you can lay some groundwork now.
The last week of the month opens your eyes to a work or health matter that needs your attention, especially around the Full Moon on the 26th. Balancing work and rest becomes a priority, and it's rewarding. It can be a highly creative, stimulating time for connecting with your true feelings on self-care or your chores, services, or job.
With Jupiter's direct turn on the 30th, you find it easier to focus on the big picture and make peace with the past. Family and domestic affairs improve. This turnaround increases your enthusiasm and joy, particularly in your emotions, home life, and personal world.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
December 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From December 22nd forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 4th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From December 4th to 29th:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
From December 29th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From December 1st to 22nd:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mercury is retrograde from December 13th to January 1st:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar eleventh and twelfth houses this time, your instinctual judgment may be compromised, and extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily get sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non- judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
December 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 7th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From the 8th forward:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

December 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From December 12th forward:

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
This month:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
Mercury is retrograde from December 13th to January 1st:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life.

Certain projects look more hopeful. It's a time of the reinvigoration of your spirit, imagination, and perhaps your more fanciful dreams or plans.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 4th and, until the 29th, helps boost your reputation, goals, and responsibilities. Cooperation has its share of rewards. This influence is super for your public image and professional endeavors. You project your value and worth to associates and those in authority, which can positively impact your income, if not now, down the road. You're selling yourself in your career this month, and you have a particular influence on others.
While it's a generally good time to harmonize with others, Mercury's retrograde, beginning in your privacy sector on the 13th, suggests some possible delays or misunderstandings. Some recent decisions or new projects can require reconsideration. It's a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then but entirely relevant now.
On the 21st, the Sun begins its month-long trek through your privacy sector. This yearly event precedes your powerful birthday month and is an important time for looking at what attitudes, circumstances, and dead weights need to go before you begin anew. Carving out time for extra rest, meditation, and reflection is especially helpful now. You might see old problems or projects in a new light.
Listen to your intuition on the 22nd, when ideas for the future can be golden. You may not know all the details yet, but that's just fine–it's about the vision now. Retrograde Mercury retreats into your social sector on the 23rd, where it will remain for the rest of its retrograde cycle (until January 1st) and beyond. Communications with associates, groups, and friends can be subject to misunderstandings. New approaches are necessary for old problems, and while a resolution is not likely to come just yet, you can lay some groundwork now.
The last week of the month opens your eyes to a work or health matter that needs your attention, especially around the Full Moon on the 26th. Balancing work and rest becomes a priority, and it's rewarding. It can be a highly creative, stimulating time for connecting with your true feelings on self-care or your chores, services, or job.
With Jupiter's direct turn on the 30th, you find it easier to focus on the big picture and make peace with the past. Family and domestic affairs improve. This turnaround increases your enthusiasm and joy, particularly in your emotions, home life, and personal world.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
