Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Beware of exes coming back to town for the holidays during the first part of December, as Mercury retrograde could reignite an old flame you thought had burned out long ago. You might not feel as eager to jump into a fling when Mars retrograde begins on December 6, making it a great time to slow down in the dating department and reconnect with your passions.
The December 15 full moon is steamy, so engage in an honest conversation with a partner or send a flirty text to your crush. The following week is full of romantic potential, and if you’re single, you may encounter a sexy connection through friends or local events. Get out and explore.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Sagittarius season is all about exploring the highs and lows of intimacy for you, Taurus, and the December 1 new moon can help you bring more vulnerability to your love life. You might have to revisit some deeply rooted fears about your relationship or reinforce some boundaries during the first half of the month, but surrender to sensual pleasure when the full moon peaks on December 15.
The earthy vibes of Capricorn season will have you feeling ready to venture out, so don’t be afraid to try new things or explore outside of your usual romantic routines. The December 30 new moon is a perfect time to do something out of the ordinary.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You can elevate your relationships this month, Gemini — especially if you’re willing to face your romantic issues and work through any conflicts with your partners rather than sweeping them under the rug. The December 1 new moon is the perfect time to envision what your ideal partnerships could look like. The full moon in your sign two weeks later is a time to speak your truth and openly express your needs.
As the winter solstice approaches, a beautiful trine between Venus and Jupiter in your sign lights up romantic feelings to new heights, making pleasure especially appealing. It’s the holidays, so indulge yourself.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Venus, the planet of love, softens your relationships during the first week of the month, but as it enters your intimate eighth house on December 7, you’ll want to dive deeper into your romantic connections. Vulnerability is sexy now, and during the week leading up to the holidays, you’ll likely feel especially spiritually connected with your partners. Lean into the magic.
As Capricorn season kicks in, expect a surge of confidence in your romantic partnerships. You might even consider taking a step toward commitment with someone you’re casually seeing. Either way, the December 30 new moon is a beautiful moment to lay the groundwork for the long-term love story your heart desires.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The new moon on December 1 puts you in touch with your passions, inspiring you to pursue your romantic fantasies. However, Mercury retrograde is stirring up drama in your sex and dating zone, so don’t be surprised if an ex-lover suddenly pops up looking for a casual holiday rendezvous. Mars retrograde begins in your sign on December 6 as well, so your libido may not be as fiery as you’re used to — but there’s no shortage of sweetness and sensuality, thanks to loving Venus illuminating your relationship zone starting the very next day.
Speaking of Venus, the planet of love sends a kiss to lucky Jupiter on December 19, filling your social life with romantic opportunities and opening the floodgates to pleasure in your partnerships. Enjoy the magic.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
You might be embracing a winter hibernation vibe, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little flirting too. Invite your lover for a cozy cuddle, as the first week of the month will be especially romantic. If you’re single, browse dating apps from the comfort of your bed, as some fresh and attractive faces might be in town for the holidays.
When Capricorn season arrives on December 21, you’ll feel even more serious about prioritizing pleasure. If you’re connected, bring more playfulness to your partnerships, as having fun is one of the keys to longevity in love. If you’re single, this is a great time to get real about what you’re looking for in romance. The new moon on December 30 can help clarify what you want.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Your loving cosmic ruler Venus floats into the flirtier corner of your chart on December 7, making it easier to manifest heightened passion, attraction, and romance in your life, whether you’re single or committed. If you have a crush, now’s the time to get their attention. You’ll feel freer under the full moon on December 15, so be spontaneous about love. An impromptu date proposal or an outing with an unconventional suitor could be especially exciting.
By the end of the month, you might unexpectedly find yourself feeling more serious about something you thought was purely casual or carefree. These new emotional connections may surprise you, but don’t be afraid to speak about your feelings.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You’re reconnecting with your sensual side during the first half of the month, and the new moon on December 1 is a great time to listen to your body and focus on bringing more sensory pleasure into your love life. Tell your partners what you want! Two weeks later, a full moon that enhances intimacy infuses all the physicality with emotionality, bringing more depth and reality to relationships and casual encounters.
You might feel insecure about commitment during the holidays, as bringing someone deeper into your private world may suddenly feel like too much vulnerability. Speak openly about how you’re feeling, as communication can help you resolve the issue, especially under the new moon’s practical mindset on December 30.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
There are big changes ahead for you this month, Sagittarius, and you’ll feel the winds of transformation all around you.
