Ascendant Horoscope December

The end of the year is always a good time to reflect on the past months in peace and to surround yourself with your loved ones - and the planets seem to see it similarly in the coming December. Although we have a lot of energy and drive at the beginning of the month with the sun and Mars in Sagittarius, we should use it consciously rather than getting carried away into big adventures. Because as Mercury goes retrograde again from mid-December, it means once again: go within and reflect and notice and appreciate the beautiful details in everyday life. So don't let the stress of the Christmas season drive you crazy!

Ascendant Aries

This month, it's time for you to take a step back in your career and instead focus on your general further education. In the first half of the month, the Sun and Mars in your ninth house offer you a lot of energy and motivation to rediscover yourself both academically and spiritually. And you might already be thinking about a travel destination or two for 2024. However, you should wait to book flights, as retrograde Mercury in the second half of the month can cause technical problems, misplanning, and other complications. In terms of career, you should now reflect on how satisfied you are with the past year and your previous professional experiences, instead of starting new projects or even initiating a career change. Allow yourself to just dream for now and be proud of what you have achieved so far.

Ascendant Taurus

This month, no one has better conditions for self-reflection than you. The Sun and Mars pass through your eighth house this month, giving you the strength to tackle topics that are otherwise rather uncomfortable. These can be past traumas, as well as former relationships, as well as topics such as loss or even a possible inheritance. This month, you may find yourself repeatedly having the urge to work through painful experiences, and astrologically, this is the ideal time for it. However, you should hold back from further education from the second half of the month, as retrograde Mercury will then be in your ninth house. So postpone the new yoga class or the demanding training until next year and enjoy your time with yourself this month.

Ascendant Gemini

Has your love life in recent weeks been more of a stressful up and down, rather than fun and potential? Don't worry, just in time for Christmas, that will now change for you. With the Sun and Mars in your seventh house, it's quite possible that romance will take place this month not only in cheesy Christmas movies, but also in your real life. Right now you are particularly attractive to potential partners, and existing relationships also get a new boost. However, you should be careful about disputes regarding money or other critical issues, because retrograde Mercury in your eighth house can quickly cause misunderstandings and resentment from the second half of the month. So it's best to clarify financial ambiguities now and then take plenty of time for yourself and your loved ones.

Ascendant Cancer

While others only start their New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year, you have the potential to start now. With the Sun and Mars in your sixth house, you have a lot of motivation to optimally adjust your daily routines and habits. Whether it's sports, better nutrition, or more self-care – in December it will be particularly easy for you to be the best version of yourself. However, you should prioritize your relationship with yourself anyway, because due to retrograde Mercury in your seventh house, from the second half of the month, former lovers may contact you or you may fall back into old, unhealthy patterns in your current relationships. Clear communication in your romantic relationships is then particularly important – whether it's about setting clear boundaries with people from your past or avoiding misunderstandings with your loved ones in the present.

Ascendant Leo

The urge for fun and adventure will take up a lot of space for you at the beginning of the month. With the Sun and Mars in your fifth house, you also have optimal conditions for this: new hobbies, creative projects, or a flirt or two will come easily to you, and with a little luck, opportunities for the coming year may even open up to you now. It is all the more important that you pay attention to yourself and your health despite all your eagerness, otherwise retrograde Mercury in the second half of the month will remind you of it at the latest. Because as it traverses your sixth house, you may be more susceptible to colds or other minor health problems. It is all the more important for you then to start the new year with as much calm and self-care as possible, rather than partying.

Ascendant Virgo

Where and with whom do you feel truly at home? The answer to this is particularly important for you at the beginning of December. With the Sun and Mars in your fourth house, your home as a place of well-being, as well as your family – whether biological or chosen – plays a central role in your identity and well-being. Fittingly for the Christmas season, it can bring you a lot of energy to decorate your home beautifully and to allow yourself to retreat to places of well-being and to contact your very personal comfort people in everyday life. Deceleration of all kinds is the magic word for you in December anyway – because from the second half of the month, retrograde Mercury can take the wind out of your sails when it comes to drive and creativity. Don't beat yourself up too much if creative projects or new hobbies don't go perfectly, but practice empathy with yourself, preferably with the support of your family.

Ascendant Libra

Whether it's a negotiation, a spontaneous flirt, or a difficult conversation with your best friend – this month, no one will quickly outdo you in terms of communication. With the help of the Sun and Mars in your third house, you have the best conditions to plan and communicate particularly shrewdly at the beginning of December, and it will be playfully easy for you to captivate those around you with your words and convince them of your ideas. This communication skill will then become particularly important in the second half of the month, because retrograde Mercury in your fourth house can cause conflicts and misunderstandings within the family. So you should avoid particularly difficult topics for now and concentrate on expressing yourself as clearly and diplomatically as possible, so that you can start the new year with less stress.

Ascendant Scorpio

If anyone's finances are going well this month, it's definitely yours. Thanks to the concentrated energy of the Sun and Mars in your second house at the beginning of December, it will not only be particularly easy for you to skillfully plan your finances and manage your money well, but spontaneous financial advantages or payouts could also come your way. It's best to treat yourself to a small something with this, because you will need your strength at the latest in the second half of the month. Due to retrograde Mercury in your third house, communication difficulties can now arise quickly in all areas of your life. And when it comes to your technology, you should double-check and save everything to be on the safe side to avoid unpleasant surprises. But don't underestimate the potential that this energy also brings, because you can now question how authentically and openly you communicate your wishes and needs. Allow yourself to set clear boundaries and stick to them.

Ascendant Sagittarius

This month, you can expect to steal the spotlight without much effort. Thanks to the Sun and Mars in your first house, you will be blessed with a lot of charisma and energy at the beginning of December, which not only the people around you but also you yourself will notice positively. Do you feel like reinventing yourself spontaneously at the end of the year or working on your self-confidence? Then go for it, at least until the second half of December. Here, retrograde Mercury then admonishes us to rather take a step back, which will manifest itself particularly in financial terms for you. Instead of starting new investments, you should then rather use the energies to question your current financial planning and to consider how satisfied you are with your consumption behavior.

Ascendant Capricorn

Who are you really and what deeply occupies you? Not easy questions, but they will become particularly important for you this December. The Sun and Mars in your twelfth house will initially help you to deal with your subconscious and your emotions and to have particularly good access to them. And your intuition is also particularly sharpened by this – so if certain people or situations seem strange to you, you can confidently trust your gut feeling without rationalizing your decisions. Another – albeit somewhat harsher – opportunity for self-development is then offered to you in the second half of December by retrograde Mercury in your first house. How satisfied are you actually with yourself, and where do your insecurities prevent you from realizing your full potential? Take your time to find the answers to these questions so that you can tackle your resolutions for 2024 all the more effectively.

Ascendant Aquarius

There's hardly a better time for you to nurture your friendships than now. Joint ventures and new social contacts will not only bring you new inspiration and motivation at the beginning of the month, thanks to the energies of the Sun and Mars in your eleventh house, but it will also be easier than usual for you to inspire your social environment and build close connections. Your social environment will then become all the more important in the second half of December, because retrograde Mercury in your twelfth house will bring many unsettling questions to you. Are there events or worries that have been subconsciously bothering you for a long time? What unhealthy patterns keep repeating in your life? At the latest, such points will arise for you now. The positive thing about it – you now also have the opportunity to resolve such issues once and for all. Healthy self-reflection instead of suppression should then be your priority.

Ascendant Pisces

Professional success as a New Year's resolution? You don't need that, because for you it starts already this December. Thanks to the energies of the Sun and Mars in your tenth house, you not only have a lot of motivation in terms of career, but you will also succeed effortlessly in winning over everyone at your workplace and finally implementing your ideas. If you've been waiting for months to finally be appreciated for your work, it will happen now at the latest. However, with all this career success, don't forget to also take care of your social environment, because in the second half of December, due to retrograde Mercury in your eleventh house, turmoil may come your way. You should avoid difficult conversations with friends for now, unless they are very urgent, and instead ask yourself which connections in your life are currently good for you, and what might still need work or even people you might have to let go of. The end of the year thus holds quite a few turbulences in store for you!
