Welcome to your Capricorn horoscope for December, the final month of 2023. If you can learn one lesson from Neptune, go ahead and pop some bottles. You deserve to celebrate your birthday all month long. You pushed yourself hard during November. While people associate Capricorns with traditions, you’re also the ones who make them. And whether you’re stepping up at work or agreeing to organize holiday celebrations, you took on a lot. So make sure that you get plenty of beauty sleep. However, remember that there are many ways to feed your soul. You’re likely overdue for fun with friends. When Venus, the darling planet that rules all relationships, not just romance, enters Scorpio and your 11th House of Friendship on Monday, December 2, carve out time for your chosen family using the same veracity you use for your professional life.
You might want to talk about astrology with your friends. Thanks to the ethereal planet Neptune going direct in your 3rd House of Communication on Wednesday, December 6, miscommunications are actually more likely. Because Neptune is associated with fantasy, when it goes direct, we can feel more psychic. You should also pay attention to your dreams around this time for hidden meaning. While Neptune direct is fantastic for our intuition, when it comes to your favorite: direct, matter-of-fact conversation, the end of the planet’s retrograde can actually make talk feel foggy. So when you’re together, if you misunderstand anyone, don’t let it go to be polite. Blame Neptune and ask them to repeat themselves. It doesn’t help that Mercury begins one of its pesky retrogrades starting on Tuesday, December 12. That way, you won’t feel sad that a comrade misses your birthday party just because you couldn’t hear them over the music.
Your season begins on Thursday, December 21. Sometimes, whether you have friends and family who celebrate the winter solstice, Kwanzaa, Christmas, or Hanukkah, you can indeed become slightly irate that another holiday is taking away attention from your birthday. But you are too smart for a scarcity mindset. You can have as many parties for as many reasons as you desire. But there is one day that, even if it is your birthday, is best spent making someone else feel special. The sky lights up with a full moon in Cancer and your 7th House of Partnership on Tuesday, December 26. As a grounded earth sign, you tend to be a reliable friend or partner. But you aren’t always over-the-top in your language. Why not try something new and give your favorite person in the world all of the compliments? Make it your mission to give them a big head.
And, at the risk of sounding, well, punny, relationships do feel heady once sweet Venus enters Sagittarius and your 12th House of the Unconscious on Friday, December 29. You are someone who likes a schedule. Even if you’re having the best sex in the world, the idea of spending an entire day in bed, doing nothing but wearing out the battery of your favorite sex toys, sounds fun, but you’ll just confess: slightly lazy. However, this transit urges you to slow down. It’s the holidays. If there was ever a time of year to blow off appointments for the art of lounging, it’s now. This theme of deep relaxation, ideally with someone that you love, continues when Jupiter goes direct in Taurus, a fellow earth sign that knows all about lounging, and your 5th House of Pleasure on Saturday, December 30. There’s a lot of pressure and expectations surrounding New Year’s Eve, but it’s more than okay to opt for a chill celebration — champagne is still welcome. Your Capricorn December horoscope says so, and we’ll see you in January 2024.
