What December's Pisces Horoscope Means for You

Things may have been tough lately, but it’s not personal. Venus (the planet of love, beauty, and money) went retrograde in October then passed the baton to Mercury, which went reverse the same exact day Venus resumed forward motion. Thankfully, the retrograde relay race ends on Thursday, December 6, when Mercury finally concludes its backward spin. All of these comic slowdowns have been gumming up your creativity, so when the planet of expression is back in business, you’ll get back in touch with your artistic sensibilities. Now, Pisces, you’re ready to explore new horizons.

The last new moon of 2018 occurs the following day, on Friday, December 7, as the sun and moon align in Sagittarius. For you, this lunation activates your career zone, opening the door to an exciting opportunity. Though it’s hard to see clearly during this lunar phase (as there is no night-time visibility), use this time to tap into your inner world.

This weekend, focus more on feeling than doing and give yourself the necessary space to honor both your emotions and your ego. When you fuse these energies, you’ll be able to explore the full range of your person. You're complex, so make sure you have time to process everything.

Capricorn season begins on Friday, December 21, when the sun enters this ambitious earth sign. This solar motion activates the area of your chart connected to your extended community, so focus on broadening your reach. How can you expand your sphere of influence, Pisces darling?

You’re an extremely empathic soul, so for the next few weeks, consider all the ways you can use your innate skills to help others. A full moon on Saturday, December 22 will illuminate your creativity sector, allowing you to see all your special gifts with complete clarity. Your sensitivities are what make you special, so don’t be afraid to embrace your emotional gifts. You want to change the world, so don’t be afraid to look to your fellow deep-sea innovators for inspiration: Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, and Rihanna perfectly embody the progressive spirit of a Pisces.

Finally, the year concludes with Mars (the planet of action) drifting into Aries. This motion highlights the area of your chart connected to money, so as you're reflecting on all the ways you can build an empire, be sure to think about revenue models, as well. There's nothing wrong with chasing the bread, Pisces — when you have a strong material foundation, it's easier to accomplish your abstract goals. After all, the more financially flexible you are, the more you'll be able to give back to the causes that matter most. As you're padding your wallet, why not prime your complexation? Try the Photo Finish Foundation Primer from Smashbox, which is a powerful product that will be sure to deliver a smooth surface — ideal for building some seriously stunning looks.
