Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

December 2023 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December 2023

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until December 21st:

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 22nd 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.

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 4th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

From December 4th to 29th: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

From December 29th 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

From December 1st to 22nd: 

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.

Mercury is retrograde from December 13th to January 1st:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

Occurring in your solar first and second houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives and body language. Reviewing your budget rather than jumping into new purchases is in order now. Go over any financial documents carefully. 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. 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.
Take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

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.

Overview Horoscope:

December 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:

December is strong for self-development, dear Sagittarius, and you can find yourself quite devoted to achieving your personal goals. Later in the month, you'll enjoy settling in, building, and planning. You have a lot of energy to pursue your interests, and you have the backing of others to motivate you further. The 7th is particularly strong for appeal and confidence.

Certainly, you have a greater desire to be independent and take care of your own needs this month. Try not to overshoot, as you can sometimes feel invincible with Mars in your sign (all month) and the Sun there until the 21st. Mercury's retrograde begins on the 13th and runs until the end of the month/year. This means some review is necessary before moving forward, particularly regarding your finances, but with retro Mercury heading into your sign on the 23rd, with your personal endeavors as well.

While this is a time of personal power each year, a reflective turn is possible with Venus in your privacy sector from the 4th to the 29th and Jupiter, your ruler, retrograde until the 30th. This Venus transit mostly affects your pleasures, love, and taste, and it encourages spending more time to yourself, going under the radar in some areas of life, and sorting out or processing your feelings.

Note that Mercury turns retrograde on the 13th in your finances sector and dips back into your sign on the 23rd. The need to review your finances or budget can emerge. It’s a period for looking to the past for answers to current problems or delaying some matters while you make changes and refinements, especially concerning money and things.

While you have personal presence and power in December, you can be rather hard to get in touch with on some levels. Whether this translates as being a little hard to get, withdrawn, or aloof, it’s a time for looking behind you in order that you can better see your next step forward.

External or material achievement assumes less significance to you than what’s happening in your private life for much of December. You may be a little tentative about your affections or pastimes. Perhaps you instinctively sense that you’re not quite ready for brand new beginnings in some areas, although the New Moon on the 12th can clear the state, helping you reinvent yourself.

This New Moon in your sign is all about you and presenting a new look, image, or more authentic version of “you” to the world. Yes, you’re still reflecting and considering your next step, but you have more power than usual to take charge and make an impact in the days after this lunation. It's a time for a new beginning of sorts. While it can cause a few ripples on the home front or with family, you're well-positioned to leave an unhappy situation behind you. If you’ve had the feeling of being in the background, overlooked, or ignored, you’ll want to make changes now.

You have fantastic support for turning over a new leaf in the weeks ahead of this lunation, even if there are some challenges juggling everything you want to accomplish.

From the 21st forward, you pour more energy into building your money, resources, and talents. Taking care of valuables and attending to prized personal possessions can be part of the picture. Putting effort into creating a comfortable, updated, or otherwise improved home life can be rewarding.

You can be exceptionally motivated to improve your financial state, but new initiatives may need some review and extra thought before moving forward. These uncertainties should clear up shortly into the new year, however.

Around the Full Moon on the 26th, there can be new information about finances or a reveal of intimate feelings that rocks your world a little, nudging you in a new direction. Revelations related to debts, support, what you owe, and dependencies are meaningful now since they lead to a new perspective. Unpredictability can stir up problems, but this is also a highly creative, stimulating time for connecting with your true feelings on a matter. Don’t put pressure on yourself – let things unfold. Pay attention if you get the sense that you’re not quite ready for a plan to come together yet, and take more time if it feels right to do so.

From the 29th forward, Venus transits your sign, bringing pleasant attention your way. While you have personal presence and power this month, you can be rather hard to get in touch with on some levels until this date. Magnetism is powerful--you're turning heads.

Furthermore, your ruling planet turns direct on the 30th after retrograde motion since early September. A winning attitude attracts favorable circumstances, mainly related to work and business, and the chance to make your daily life or chores better, and even joyful can emerge. You may see what was blocking you in the past as you slow down, savor, and observe. At the same time, motivation for work and health programs increases. The next several months are excellent for work, services, and health benefits. For now, you’re easing forward, and it feels comfortable.
