Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
December 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
December is an important month for taking care of unfinished business, dear Aquarius, mainly revolving around friends, groups, and causes. As the month progresses, it becomes a powerful time for healing, relaxing, and getting in touch with your inner world.
The month ushers in a mix of social and introspective energies, with a clear focus on wrapping up a busy year and contemplating your next steps. But it's not just about endings. The strong emphasis on friendships, networking, and community or group efforts also brings with it the promise of new beginnings, even with some focus on the past. The New Moon on the 1st of the month is a powerful symbol of this fresh start, filling you with optimism.
As the month begins, you can be focusing on cultivating contacts, getting involved, networking, sharing ideas or time and energy. There can be hurdles to clear this month, especially with relationships, but taking care of problem areas will benefit you in the long run, so aim to do the ground work. Certainly, your social life can be up and down or more dramatic this month. The Full Moon on the 15th can bring feelings to bloom or a romantic relationship to a turning point.
Especially around the 4-5, you may be giving a lot of thought to friendships, group associations, and long-term goals or enjoy new insights into these areas of your life. Your personal happiness goals or cherished causes are in focus. You might gain more clarity about or through a friend, or friends have something essential to contribute or say right now.
Part of you might hold yourself back with Venus in your privacy sector until the 7th. You might take particular pleasure in their private life. Dreams can be intriguing, and more time taken for yourself can be especially rewarding. Decision-making about money and love is not straightforward, though, and it's wise to take your time to come to reliable conclusions. You may not be ready to share your feelings with the world.
Lowered vitality is possible with the retrograde of Mars beginning on the 6th in your partnership sector. Be sure to honor your need for extra rest. It's not the time to push yourself too hard, particularly since the Sun moved into your privacy sector on the 21st – another indicator that you need to slow down, rest, reflect, and observe. Mars' retrograde lasts until February 23rd, and the first leg of the journey (until January 6th) affects partnerships and close relationships. Buried problems can surface in partnerships, and resolving them can initially seem complicated. Straightforwardly dealing with others can be challenging for one reason or the other. You may be looking to the past for answers during this period.
You have the chance to reassess how you've been dealing with partners or potential partners, and you may be finding new and improved ways to get along. Taking things slowly is best now and, in fact, beneficial once you adjust to the shift in energy. Relationships can be conflicted but also hold valuable lessons. Cupid's arrows may be flying in the wrong direction at times, and it's wise to be sensitive to others, but it's also a time when you or someone needs some space to figure things out.
Fortunately, Venus moves through your sign from the 7th onward, clarifying your affections and boosting your feelings of comfort with yourself. You radiate warmth and gentle confidence during this pleasing transit. This is a time to attract good things into your life. This transit aids efforts to enjoy yourself, pursue your wishes, and "make nice" with people in your life.
Even though Mercury is retrograde until mid-month and Mars is retrograde from the 6th onward, some shifts encourage 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.
Friends and lovers can have exciting news around the Full Moon on the 15th. Something from your past or something that was previously hidden, such as a good deed, comes to light and brings you benefits. This Full Moon occurs on the same day that Mercury turns retrograde and, in some ways, the floodgates open. Information begins to unclog, and you get in better touch with your feelings on social levels.
The Sun moves into your privacy sector on the 21st, signaling the beginning of a month-long period for review, reform, and renewal. This cycle coincides with Mars retrograde in your opposing sign at first, reinforcing the need to take things easy and reassess matters.
The last week of December brings a second New Moon. December began with a New Moon in your social sector, and it nears a close with one in your sector of endings and hidden things. There can be a reminder that you need to tie up loose ends. Take extra time to rest if you need it, but it can also be a time when working behind the scenes benefits you. Pay special attention to your intuition.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
December 2024 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
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 21st 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 6th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From December 7th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde since November 25th and until December 15th:
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 house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky during this cycle. 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, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend. This may be a good time to do so. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and associates during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
From the 15th forward, these matters straighten out and smooth over as information unclogs:
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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from December 6th forward (until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in your solar seventh house during this period, enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could appear to be waning. A partner could seem to be less direct or could be harder to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself well in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness with partnerships. A lover may be especially intense or obsessive, or you could experience this in your own behavior. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This cycle forces you to reorganize your energy with regards to people and partnerships. You could be re-assessing the ways in which you approach relationships, as well as what it is you want from your relationships. You are doing very important "work" that can benefit you greatly. You have the chance to reassess how you've been dealing with partners or potential partners, and you may be finding new and improved ways to get along. If you're stimulating angry situations, you need to consider your role in the interaction. If you're coming on too strong, you need to find ways to tone things down.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
December 2024 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
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
Until December 15th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being.

From December 16th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative.

From December 15th forward, information unclogs and these matters smooth and straighten out, and from the 23rd:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from December 6th forward (until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in your solar sixth house during this date range, enthusiasm for your work or health regimes, or for work projects and daily routines, could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. Work itself could seem to be less straightforward or satisfying. New initiatives with these matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors, and possibly frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

December 2024 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
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 11th forward:
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.

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
Until December 24th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From December 25th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde since November 25th until December 15th:
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 tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and concerning professional matters in general, can be tricky during this cycle. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making definite career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, which is a good idea, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
From December 15th forward, these matters straighten out as information unclogs:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from December 6th forward (until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in your solar sixth house during this date range, enthusiasm for your work or health regimes, or for work projects and daily routines, could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. Work itself could seem to be less straightforward or satisfying. New initiatives with these matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors, and possibly frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

December 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
December is an important month for taking care of unfinished business, dear Aquarius, mainly revolving around friends, groups, and causes. As the month progresses, it becomes a powerful time for healing, relaxing, and getting in touch with your inner world.
The month ushers in a mix of social and introspective energies, with a clear focus on wrapping up a busy year and contemplating your next steps. But it's not just about endings. The strong emphasis on friendships, networking, and community or group efforts also brings with it the promise of new beginnings, even with some focus on the past. The New Moon on the 1st of the month is a powerful symbol of this fresh start, filling you with optimism.
As the month begins, you can be focusing on cultivating contacts, getting involved, networking, sharing ideas or time and energy. There can be hurdles to clear this month, especially with relationships, but taking care of problem areas will benefit you in the long run, so aim to do the ground work. Certainly, your social life can be up and down or more dramatic this month. The Full Moon on the 15th can bring feelings to bloom or a romantic relationship to a turning point.
Especially around the 4-5, you may be giving a lot of thought to friendships, group associations, and long-term goals or enjoy new insights into these areas of your life. Your personal happiness goals or cherished causes are in focus. You might gain more clarity about or through a friend, or friends have something essential to contribute or say right now.
Part of you might hold yourself back with Venus in your privacy sector until the 7th. You might take particular pleasure in their private life. Dreams can be intriguing, and more time taken for yourself can be especially rewarding. Decision-making about money and love is not straightforward, though, and it's wise to take your time to come to reliable conclusions. You may not be ready to share your feelings with the world.
Lowered vitality is possible with the retrograde of Mars beginning on the 6th in your partnership sector. Be sure to honor your need for extra rest. It's not the time to push yourself too hard, particularly since the Sun moved into your privacy sector on the 21st – another indicator that you need to slow down, rest, reflect, and observe. Mars' retrograde lasts until February 23rd, and the first leg of the journey (until January 6th) affects partnerships and close relationships. Buried problems can surface in partnerships, and resolving them can initially seem complicated. Straightforwardly dealing with others can be challenging for one reason or the other. You may be looking to the past for answers during this period.
You have the chance to reassess how you've been dealing with partners or potential partners, and you may be finding new and improved ways to get along. Taking things slowly is best now and, in fact, beneficial once you adjust to the shift in energy. Relationships can be conflicted but also hold valuable lessons. Cupid's arrows may be flying in the wrong direction at times, and it's wise to be sensitive to others, but it's also a time when you or someone needs some space to figure things out.
Fortunately, Venus moves through your sign from the 7th onward, clarifying your affections and boosting your feelings of comfort with yourself. You radiate warmth and gentle confidence during this pleasing transit. This is a time to attract good things into your life. This transit aids efforts to enjoy yourself, pursue your wishes, and "make nice" with people in your life.
Even though Mercury is retrograde until mid-month and Mars is retrograde from the 6th onward, some shifts encourage 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.
Friends and lovers can have exciting news around the Full Moon on the 15th. Something from your past or something that was previously hidden, such as a good deed, comes to light and brings you benefits. This Full Moon occurs on the same day that Mercury turns retrograde and, in some ways, the floodgates open. Information begins to unclog, and you get in better touch with your feelings on social levels.
The Sun moves into your privacy sector on the 21st, signaling the beginning of a month-long period for review, reform, and renewal. This cycle coincides with Mars retrograde in your opposing sign at first, reinforcing the need to take things easy and reassess matters.
The last week of December brings a second New Moon. December began with a New Moon in your social sector, and it nears a close with one in your sector of endings and hidden things. There can be a reminder that you need to tie up loose ends. Take extra time to rest if you need it, but it can also be a time when working behind the scenes benefits you. Pay special attention to your intuition.

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.
