Cancer, you're in for an interesting December! Last month, Venus moved into your 7th House of partnerships, making things extra lovey-dovey. The good news is, that December ends on a romantic note too, with a new moon in that same relationship zone. But heads up - your sex drive might be a little all over the place this month. That's because Mars, the planet of desire and action, goes retrograde on Friday, December 6th in your 2nd House of money and self-worth. This might impact your work life more than your love life, but it's still something to keep an eye on.
Everyone knows Cancers are the ultimate homebodies, but you've got a fierce side too. When Mars is retrograde, it's a great opportunity to find a healthy balance between nurturing yourself and others and standing up for what you need.
In December, you might be extra sensitive and intuitive - even more than usual! Listen to your gut instincts and pay attention to your dreams. They could hold important messages. This is an ideal time to focus on your spiritual well-being. Do things that make you feel emotionally and mentally at peace, whether that's meditating, journaling, or taking long bubble baths. Make self-care a top priority and don't be afraid to set boundaries. Protect your energy!
With Mercury retrograde in your 6th House of health and daily routines, managing your schedule might feel like a struggle. Don't hesitate to reach out to friends or loved ones for support. December 8th and 15th are great days to collaborate with others and make progress on your goals. And when it comes to love, things are looking promising. By the 31st, you could be feeling super connected to your partner or a potential love interest.
On the same day Mars goes retrograde, Venus moves into your 8th House of intimacy and transformation. This should help offset any libido weirdness caused by Mars. The next day, December 7th, the asteroid Ceres also moves into your 8th House. You might find yourself craving deeper emotional bonds. If you're in a relationship, this is a great time to switch things up in the bedroom. Flying solo? Treat yourself to a new sex toy or experiment with different self-pleasure techniques. It's also an awesome opportunity to revamp your beauty routine.
December 7th also brings some major spiritual vibes as Neptune ends its retrograde in your 9th House of Philosophy and higher learning. If you've been feeling lost or confused about your beliefs lately, you could have some serious 'aha!' moments today. Trust your intuition and be open to new perspectives.
The Full Moon on December 15th electrifies your 12th House of the subconscious. Expect vivid dreams, emotional breakthroughs, or sudden 'downloads' of information. Meditation is a must around this time. On the same day, Mercury ends its retrograde, making it even easier to gain clarity and insight.
The Winter Solstice on December 21st marks the Sun's move into Capricorn and your 7th House of partnerships. The next few weeks are all about balance and compromise, especially in your closest relationships. With Mars still retrograde, focus on quality time rather than trying to tackle a bunch of projects together. If you're single, prioritize your friendships. One of your main tasks this month is to find a healthy work-life balance, so don't forget to schedule some downtime!
On December 29th, the asteroid Chiron ends its retrograde in your 10th House of Career and public image. Any professional struggles or self-doubt you've been dealing with should start to ease up. Trust that you're on the right path, even if it doesn't feel like it yet.
The month ends with a powerful New Moon in Capricorn on December 30th. If you're single, you could meet someone with serious long-term potential. Couples should plan a special date night on or around this day. Set intentions together for the coming year and recommit to supporting each other's growth. 2025, here you come!
