Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
Scorpio
December brings a focus on practical matters, settling in, and domestic matters, dear Scorpio. In the first few weeks of the month, you're particularly invested in your values, money, valuables, and talents. You're giving special thought to making your life more comfortable and secure. Money and business matters need some serious sorting, but efforts put forth now can lead to brave new beginnings down the road and benefits to match. You are learning about your attachments and earning potential.
After the New Moon on the 1st, aim to look forward but also take care of unfinished business. Do keep alert for situations when a more sentimental approach is preferable. It's wise to remember that December is a sometimes stopped-up month, so if something can wait for a less blocked time, then do wait for it!
Even with Mercury retrograde until the 15th, you can be quite charming with your words as Venus moves through your communications sector until the 7th. This transit refines, improves, and enhances your abilities to socialize, learn, communicate, and connect. There could be purchases or gifts that help you connect and learn. You are more charming and creative with your words, and love can be more mental and verbal during this cycle.
One of the main reasons for taking things in rather than pushing things forward too quickly is the retrograde of Mars beginning on the 6th. Sometimes, people think they should pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, but this is unwise. Motivation levels can dip, and you might change your mind about specific projects and ideas.
This Mars retrograde period lasts from December 6th to February 23rd, and the first leg of the retrograde journey (until January 6th) occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it may cause some disruptions and frustrations in your professional life, you'll eventually realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work could require more strategy, patience, and perhaps a lower profile. This is not the time to push. Try to steer clear of conflicts that threaten to be too public or unprofessional.
There can be delays and assorted slowdowns, and it makes sense to work on improving skills and fine-tuning your work. You might question certain life-path and long-term choices, and the need to manage your time more carefully becomes apparent. There can be a tendency to procrastinate and avoid essential responsibilities, so pace yourself accordingly.
From the 7th onward, Venus spends time at the base of your solar chart, and you may like nothing more than spending quality time at home! Focus can be on bringing more harmony, balance, and beauty to your personal life, home, and family. Attention to beauty, balance, and comfort on the home front can be satisfying. Low-key activities and settings are in positive focus.
Still, a Venus-Mars opposition on the 11th-12th is significant since it's occurring in signs that conflict with yours. The tendency is to react in a big way to frustrations, but bad behavior now can be impactful and memorable, so take it easy! There can be off-timing and impatience in our relationships. Give of yourself until you meet the halfway point, or to the point at which you still feel comfortable, to avoid resentment. It's important to keep your cool.
With Neptune's direct turn this month, you're believing more in your dreams or clearing your mind of plans that no longer serve you well so that you can make room for new ones. You’re listening to your heart, even if you don’t have all the answers yet. A creative project, special hobby, or romantic friendship may show signs of progress.
The Full Moon on the 15th can open your eyes to dependencies, matters of support and sharing, and financial realities. There may be a shuffling of money sources to manage. It's a fine time to get in touch with your feelings on a matter, and with Mercury ending its retrograde, you can feel clearer or more "in the know."
With the Sun heading into your communication sector on the 21st, you're craving more mental engagement. It's a fine time to reach out and connect with people you don't always see, take up studies or interests, and share your ideas. Starting fresh with these things comes naturally after the New Moon on the 30th. You have a lot on your plate now!
While in some ways the month ends on a busy note, it's also a time to more fully enjoy downtime. A pleasant work-rest balance is within sight. Your confidence in your ability to make changes that help you heal is building, and daily routines, work, or health and fitness matters stand to benefit.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
December 2024 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 6th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From December 7th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
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 with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on major decision-making regarding money. 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 important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. This is an excellent period for review, however.
From the 15th forward, these matters straighten out and smooth over as information unclogs:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
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 work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in your solar tenth house during this period, enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. Some projects may stall. You may be feeling as if you are only going through the motions when it comes to your duties and responsibilities, temporarily lacking ambition, fire, or motivation. 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.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
December 2024 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 15th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. This is an excellent period for review, however.
From December 15th forward, information unclogs and these matters smooth and straighten out, and from the 23rd:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
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 work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
December 2024 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From December 11th forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 24th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas.

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 with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. You may appear uncommunicative and hard to reach, or what you say comes out wrong. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
From December 15th forward, these matters straighten out as information unclogs:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
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 work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.
Overview Horoscope:
Scorpio
December brings a focus on practical matters, settling in, and domestic matters, dear Scorpio. In the first few weeks of the month, you're particularly invested in your values, money, valuables, and talents. You're giving special thought to making your life more comfortable and secure. Money and business matters need some serious sorting, but efforts put forth now can lead to brave new beginnings down the road and benefits to match. You are learning about your attachments and earning potential.
After the New Moon on the 1st, aim to look forward but also take care of unfinished business. Do keep alert for situations when a more sentimental approach is preferable. It's wise to remember that December is a sometimes stopped-up month, so if something can wait for a less blocked time, then do wait for it!
Even with Mercury retrograde until the 15th, you can be quite charming with your words as Venus moves through your communications sector until the 7th. This transit refines, improves, and enhances your abilities to socialize, learn, communicate, and connect. There could be purchases or gifts that help you connect and learn. You are more charming and creative with your words, and love can be more mental and verbal during this cycle.
One of the main reasons for taking things in rather than pushing things forward too quickly is the retrograde of Mars beginning on the 6th. Sometimes, people think they should pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, but this is unwise. Motivation levels can dip, and you might change your mind about specific projects and ideas.
This Mars retrograde period lasts from December 6th to February 23rd, and the first leg of the retrograde journey (until January 6th) occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it may cause some disruptions and frustrations in your professional life, you'll eventually realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work could require more strategy, patience, and perhaps a lower profile. This is not the time to push. Try to steer clear of conflicts that threaten to be too public or unprofessional.
There can be delays and assorted slowdowns, and it makes sense to work on improving skills and fine-tuning your work. You might question certain life-path and long-term choices, and the need to manage your time more carefully becomes apparent. There can be a tendency to procrastinate and avoid essential responsibilities, so pace yourself accordingly.
From the 7th onward, Venus spends time at the base of your solar chart, and you may like nothing more than spending quality time at home! Focus can be on bringing more harmony, balance, and beauty to your personal life, home, and family. Attention to beauty, balance, and comfort on the home front can be satisfying. Low-key activities and settings are in positive focus.
Still, a Venus-Mars opposition on the 11th-12th is significant since it's occurring in signs that conflict with yours. The tendency is to react in a big way to frustrations, but bad behavior now can be impactful and memorable, so take it easy! There can be off-timing and impatience in our relationships. Give of yourself until you meet the halfway point, or to the point at which you still feel comfortable, to avoid resentment. It's important to keep your cool.
With Neptune's direct turn this month, you're believing more in your dreams or clearing your mind of plans that no longer serve you well so that you can make room for new ones. You’re listening to your heart, even if you don’t have all the answers yet. A creative project, special hobby, or romantic friendship may show signs of progress.
The Full Moon on the 15th can open your eyes to dependencies, matters of support and sharing, and financial realities. There may be a shuffling of money sources to manage. It's a fine time to get in touch with your feelings on a matter, and with Mercury ending its retrograde, you can feel clearer or more "in the know."
With the Sun heading into your communication sector on the 21st, you're craving more mental engagement. It's a fine time to reach out and connect with people you don't always see, take up studies or interests, and share your ideas. Starting fresh with these things comes naturally after the New Moon on the 30th. You have a lot on your plate now!
While in some ways the month ends on a busy note, it's also a time to more fully enjoy downtime. A pleasant work-rest balance is within sight. Your confidence in your ability to make changes that help you heal is building, and daily routines, work, or health and fitness matters stand to benefit.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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 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.
