Overview for this Month: Virgo (All)
December 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
December holds a strong domestic theme for you, dear Virgo. You're paying more attention and pouring more energy into family, living conditions, and nesting. Your instincts are strong in these areas! Romantic and creative energy increases as the month advances.
Home life requires more attention than usual and can involve some problems that need resolution. You can enjoy excellent opportunities for improving your home life. Aim to draw upon the initiative and energy of Mars in your home and family sector (all month) to get things done! With Mars here, you might also get in touch with buried resentments that can frustrate you enough to make changes. You may be defending, rallying for, or motivating family now. Your home life or inner life can be animated, colorful, and busy.
The New Moon on the 12th can usher in new beginnings and approaches related to your family, domestic world, or living conditions and arrangements.
The month is often on the quiet side with an emphasis on your sector of home and family and your ruling planet retrograde from the 13th. There's a general need or desire to look to the past before moving forward.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 13th, offering you the chance (or need) to review your goals with the creative or playful side of your life, and this can be a blessing in disguise. Now is the time to process and digest recent events and ideas.
Mercury's retrograde begins in your romance and creativity sector on the 13th and then moves into your home and family sector on the 23rd. Reviving or reworking old projects are possible themes. While you shouldn't get stuck in the past, a review is appropriate and possibly profitable and beneficial. You might breathe new life into old projects or consider ways to break out of a rut.
But while some areas of life seem a little slow or up in the air, other life departments are clearing. A feeling of a breakthrough or turning point with a close relationship is possible. You might be surprised to discover an ally or a newfound faith in someone you already know. A money, support, or intimacy matter can also nudge forward.
Venus spends much of the month (the 4th to the 29th) in your communications house, lacing the month with a lively spirit. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your thoughts come more smoothly and naturally. Your studies, interests, learning, and connecting are more enjoyable and satisfying. It's a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You have a stronger sense than usual about what ideas have the true potential for success in the long term.
This influence can also bring pleasant opportunities for mental stimulation and variety. There may be a surprising new attraction, craving, or special topic of interest. It's a great time for personal appeal on a mental level. You might discover new and more satisfying ways to express yourself–you're expanding your options! You express both your feelings and ideas with the same ease. This transit can help buffer some of the misunderstandings Mercury's retrograde can bring.
From the 21st, expressing yourself creatively helps you define and understand yourself better. Love, love affairs, and other social activities are in stronger focus. The Sun heads into your sector of joy, pleasure, pastimes, and creativity, encouraging you to follow your heart. On the 22nd, you might see a past matter related to hobbies, creativity, romance, or children in a brand new way. The information, conversations, or connections you make at this time can be especially meaningful.
The Full Moon on the 26th stirs your social life. There can be emotional revelations about people in your life and your need for them or about your place in a group, with friends, or in the community. While feelings are big now, it may not be the time to act on them. This lunation opens your heart to the need for true friendship. Unrecognized feelings emerging now may be about someone or can serve to rekindle an interest in a project you haven't yet fully pursued.
Jupiter turns direct on the 30th, and you can feel you're turning a corner with your outlook. Publishing or learning matters can move forward, perhaps after some limbo. Delays lift, or news arrives that renews your motivation for these pursuits. You close the year with budding enthusiasm and optimism.

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) AND Virgo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Virgo:
December 2023 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From December 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 4th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From December 4th to 29th:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
From December 29th 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
From December 1st to 22nd:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mercury is retrograde from December 13th to January 1st:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you.
Occurring in your solar fourth and fifth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, romance, children, and creativity. Be as non- judgmental as you can with family members. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time. Re-thinking your romantic relationships or creative projects is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may also be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with family members, or there could be some communication problems with them. Family members may be on edge. Try to hold off on household repairs if you can. Put off decision-making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends, groups, intimate partners, family members, romantic partners, and children, 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 activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Virgo (Born September 3 to 12) AND Virgo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Virgo:
December 2023 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 12th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From December 13th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from December 13th to January 1st:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you.
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 7th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 8th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

December 2023 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From December 12th forward:

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
This month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
Mercury is retrograde from December 13th to January 1st:

But while some areas of life seem a little slow or up in the air, other life departments are clearing. A feeling of a breakthrough or turning point with a close relationship is possible. You might be surprised to discover an ally or a newfound faith in someone you already know. A money, support, or intimacy matter can also nudge forward.
Venus spends much of the month (the 4th to the 29th) in your communications house, lacing the month with a lively spirit. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your thoughts come more smoothly and naturally. Your studies, interests, learning, and connecting are more enjoyable and satisfying. It's a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You have a stronger sense than usual about what ideas have the true potential for success in the long term.
This influence can also bring pleasant opportunities for mental stimulation and variety. There may be a surprising new attraction, craving, or special topic of interest. It's a great time for personal appeal on a mental level. You might discover new and more satisfying ways to express yourself–you're expanding your options! You express both your feelings and ideas with the same ease. This transit can help buffer some of the misunderstandings Mercury's retrograde can bring.
From the 21st, expressing yourself creatively helps you define and understand yourself better. Love, love affairs, and other social activities are in stronger focus. The Sun heads into your sector of joy, pleasure, pastimes, and creativity, encouraging you to follow your heart. On the 22nd, you might see a past matter related to hobbies, creativity, romance, or children in a brand new way. The information, conversations, or connections you make at this time can be especially meaningful.
The Full Moon on the 26th stirs your social life. There can be emotional revelations about people in your life and your need for them or about your place in a group, with friends, or in the community. While feelings are big now, it may not be the time to act on them. This lunation opens your heart to the need for true friendship. Unrecognized feelings emerging now may be about someone or can serve to rekindle an interest in a project you haven't yet fully pursued.
Jupiter turns direct on the 30th, and you can feel you're turning a corner with your outlook. Publishing or learning matters can move forward, perhaps after some limbo. Delays lift, or news arrives that renews your motivation for these pursuits. You close the year with budding enthusiasm and optimism.

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 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.
