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

December 2023

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 22nd 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 4th: 

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 4th to 29th: 

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.

From December 29th forward: 

Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From December 1st to 22nd: 

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

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

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 and third houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives, composing letters, emails, and phone calls, as well as communicating with neighbors and siblings. Back up your computer and allow sufficient time for delays or transportation mishaps when going for appointments. As well, it would be wise to choose your words carefully. What you say or write can too easily be misinterpreted during this period. 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 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. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.

Overview Horoscope:

December 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:

December is strong for both settling in and enjoying yourself and building something important to you, dear Scorpio. You're more interested in security and long-term endeavors than you are in the excitement of the moment. As such, you have more patience to draw upon, and it's powerful. The desire to boost your income is with you. As long as you avoid impulse buys, you will come out ahead!

Around the New Moon on the 12th, you might realize the need for a fresh start/approach with money, income, valuables, self-esteem, or comfort matters.

Another theme threading through the month is an increasing need to communicate and connect. Mercury's retrograde from the 13th forward can introduce some obstacles in these areas, however. Small repairs may be necessary with devices, for example. You may be reviewing different elements of your life and wondering where things are going. While this phase might lead to some misunderstandings, you’re sure to find alternative ways to express yourself. If you focus on taking care of projects and pursuits that are already underway, this can be an enriching period. Efforts made towards editing, revising, refining, and reviving seem well worth your time.

There's a pleasing forward movement to your finances or practical affairs as you begin the month, but from the 23rd onward, you may need to review money matters or slow down on a business endeavor.

But while some life departments seem a little plugged up or sluggish, others are opening. For one, you’re rebuilding your spirit for hobbies, leisure, and romance. For another, work and health matters see some forward movement. Partnerships feel clearer and more joyful.

Still, self-empowerment is an important theme this month. Becoming less dependent on others, not only or necessarily financially but emotionally, is a focus, and it works well for you. It can be a stellar time for putting more faith and confidence in your talents or ability to earn, provide, and contribute. You’re seeking more security and comfort and prepared to take the necessary steps toward these ends.

December brings Venus into your sign. From the 4th to the 29th, you feel freer, more appreciated, and more interested in enjoying yourself. Personal attraction and positive attention are on your side. You look good, and you’re framed in a good light! You open yourself to pleasure and love, and your affections are solid and clear. People notice and want you more than usual, and you project more warmth.

Venus in your sign most of the month encourages confidence in what you have to offer the world. Make time and room for improvising and enjoying yourself, perhaps letting things flow and loosening up on a matter that has wound you all up.

From the 21st, you can quite enjoy studying, teaching, and connecting. You’re likely to have many different interests or projects going that excite and motivate you. While life is busy, it feels energizing rather than chaotic to you.

The Full Moon on the 26th highlights learning, publishing, and announcements, although you may want to wait before acting on new information that emerges then. Full Moons are about acknowledging and embracing your feelings, not always about acting upon them immediately. Waiting until you’ve processed your discoveries is wise now.

As you close out the year, more excitement can surround your ideas, philosophy, communications, connections, sense of adventure, and urge to truly live and experience things rather than go through the motions. Epiphanies occurring now lead to a new perspective. Unmet and unspoken needs are likely to find a platform now.

Jupiter’s direct turn in your partnership sector on the 30th is another breath of fresh air, putting you in a better position to see the benefits of partnering in the future. Or, there could be more helpful, happy, or pleasing people coming (or coming back) into your life. You can find much joy in feeling part of a partnership or close friendship.
