Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
December 2020 Aries Monthly Horoscope Summary:
You're in serious need of some mental stimulation, dear Aries, with the Sun and Mercury in your solar ninth house for the first three weeks of December. You're spirited and self-expressive this month. It's certainly easier for you to get worked up about opinions and causes as you are a little more sensitive to what's going on around the world. It's a fine time to expand your mind and break the usual routine. The desire to develop, learn, and grow is real, and you're likely to find satisfying outlets for doing so.
Enthusiasm is building, too, with your planetary ruler, Mars, picking up speed in your sign, especially from the 10-11 forward. People more readily pick up what you intend to say, and you're less likely to have to clarify your intentions. Doing your best to tame impulses to overshoot, promise too much, or defend something too vigorously can be the key to success. It's an important month to open your mind and heart to new ideas and find more meaning in your life.
It wasn't too long ago that Mars was retrograde in your sign, and you may have been feeling sluggish. This month, however, your desire to move something forward is building. You're less inclined only to discuss things, preferring to get on with them.
Until the 15th, you're in good shape for smoothing out complicated or intricate areas of relationships, sharing, and intimacy. Financially speaking, you may find backing or support. From the 15th, you can be opening your eyes to new and exciting people or pastimes and projects, but it's also a good time to stoke the fires of an ongoing romance with different activities. There can be excitement, motivation, and possibly even love connected to learning or online activities.
The Solar Eclipse on the 14th reinforces and energizes your need to branch out, make a mark on the world, and communicate. The thing to watch at this time, however, is prematurity. Don't push something too quickly. Still, you're likely to enjoy new ideas and experiences as your perspective on your life changes. Expanding your reach or audience can figure strongly for some.
Saturn moves into your social sector on the 17th, Jupiter does the same on the 19th, and both planets align on the 21st. These major events encourage special attention to friends, groups, community, and hopes/wishes. This Saturn transit first occurred for a few months earlier this year, but now it's happening until 2023. You'll be doing some scrutinizing, authenticating, and putting to the test your social life and happiness goals. It's a time to either make dreams a reality or put them behind you. You'll be seeing your connections and projects more clearly, although sometimes sternly.
Jupiter is in this sector for the first part of this transit and will be around for a good part of 2021. Career pressures are easing, as you are entering a new long-term trend in which you are less concerned about public image and more interested in long-term happiness goals. Ideally, you've accomplished some pretty big things and now have more freedom to pursue goals that are less about performance and more about enjoyment. Jupiter loosens you up in this way. You may very well enjoy your newfound self-discipline or simplification in these life departments. It can be an incredible period for forming or strengthening a lasting alliance with a person, group, or cause.
There can be some stress from your social life if it demands more of you or you want more from it! You can have more influence in a group, possibly naturally taking the lead. A friendship or association that also has some material benefits can be in focus for some of you. It's a time for making concrete plans for your future.
With Mercury's move into your solar tenth house of career and reputation on the 20th, your thoughts often turn to your responsibilities. You communicate with more awareness of how your message comes across. People are looking to you for answers, and they're expecting you to be quite mature and responsible. Business affairs assume more importance, and even more so with the Sun entering this same sector on the 21st. More frequently, your attention turns to your responsibilities, plans, work, and status. You're more accountable for what you do and say, and you may take the lead in a particular field or with a unique project. There could be new goals or ambitions.
Emotions run high with a Full Moon on the 29th, lighting up your sector of home and family. There can be an epiphany about your domestic or personal life that pushes you to make meaningful changes. It's good energy for quiet celebrations, and this extends throughout the last week of the year.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
December 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 20th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Eclipse
A Solar Eclipse Occurs on December 14th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 15th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From December 15th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From December 1-20:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
From December 21st:
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
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10)
AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
December 2020 Career, & General Trends
December 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until December 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From December 8-26:

Aries (Born April 11 to 20)
AND Aries Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
December 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From December 12th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith.

You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until December 6th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From December 7-31:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 14th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From the 14th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From the 12th forward: You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper. Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2020 Aries Monthly Horoscope Summary:
You're in serious need of some mental stimulation, dear Aries, with the Sun and Mercury in your solar ninth house for the first three weeks of December. You're spirited and self-expressive this month. It's certainly easier for you to get worked up about opinions and causes as you are a little more sensitive to what's going on around the world. It's a fine time to expand your mind and break the usual routine. The desire to develop, learn, and grow is real, and you're likely to find satisfying outlets for doing so.
Enthusiasm is building, too, with your planetary ruler, Mars, picking up speed in your sign, especially from the 10-11 forward. People more readily pick up what you intend to say, and you're less likely to have to clarify your intentions. Doing your best to tame impulses to overshoot, promise too much, or defend something too vigorously can be the key to success. It's an important month to open your mind and heart to new ideas and find more meaning in your life.
It wasn't too long ago that Mars was retrograde in your sign, and you may have been feeling sluggish. This month, however, your desire to move something forward is building. You're less inclined only to discuss things, preferring to get on with them.
Until the 15th, you're in good shape for smoothing out complicated or intricate areas of relationships, sharing, and intimacy. Financially speaking, you may find backing or support. From the 15th, you can be opening your eyes to new and exciting people or pastimes and projects, but it's also a good time to stoke the fires of an ongoing romance with different activities. There can be excitement, motivation, and possibly even love connected to learning or online activities.
The Solar Eclipse on the 14th reinforces and energizes your need to branch out, make a mark on the world, and communicate. The thing to watch at this time, however, is prematurity. Don't push something too quickly. Still, you're likely to enjoy new ideas and experiences as your perspective on your life changes. Expanding your reach or audience can figure strongly for some.
Saturn moves into your social sector on the 17th, Jupiter does the same on the 19th, and both planets align on the 21st. These major events encourage special attention to friends, groups, community, and hopes/wishes. This Saturn transit first occurred for a few months earlier this year, but now it's happening until 2023. You'll be doing some scrutinizing, authenticating, and putting to the test your social life and happiness goals. It's a time to either make dreams a reality or put them behind you. You'll be seeing your connections and projects more clearly, although sometimes sternly.
Jupiter is in this sector for the first part of this transit and will be around for a good part of 2021. Career pressures are easing, as you are entering a new long-term trend in which you are less concerned about public image and more interested in long-term happiness goals. Ideally, you've accomplished some pretty big things and now have more freedom to pursue goals that are less about performance and more about enjoyment. Jupiter loosens you up in this way. You may very well enjoy your newfound self-discipline or simplification in these life departments. It can be an incredible period for forming or strengthening a lasting alliance with a person, group, or cause.
There can be some stress from your social life if it demands more of you or you want more from it! You can have more influence in a group, possibly naturally taking the lead. A friendship or association that also has some material benefits can be in focus for some of you. It's a time for making concrete plans for your future.
With Mercury's move into your solar tenth house of career and reputation on the 20th, your thoughts often turn to your responsibilities. You communicate with more awareness of how your message comes across. People are looking to you for answers, and they're expecting you to be quite mature and responsible. Business affairs assume more importance, and even more so with the Sun entering this same sector on the 21st. More frequently, your attention turns to your responsibilities, plans, work, and status. You're more accountable for what you do and say, and you may take the lead in a particular field or with a unique project. There could be new goals or ambitions.
Emotions run high with a Full Moon on the 29th, lighting up your sector of home and family. There can be an epiphany about your domestic or personal life that pushes you to make meaningful changes. It's good energy for quiet celebrations, and this extends throughout the last week of the year.

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 fifth 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.
