Your HelloGiggles horoscope, December 2nd to December 8th: We're sharper and more passionate than ever

Mercury goes direct and there's a New Moon in Sagittarius this week. What does this mean for your weekly horoscope? There's a lot of goodness in store.

This week is a symbolic way to to kick off the last month of the year, as well as the busy holiday season. It’s kind of like everything we’ve gone through over the last 11 months (and we’ve gone through a lot, thanks to #theyearofretrogrades) has led up to this moment.

First, Venus enters Scorpio on December 2nd, where it will stay until early January. As a result, our relationships are going to get deep and intimate: basically, real AF—but in a beautiful “I want to connect with your mind, body, and soul” type way. We’re done with “cuffing” and we’re more about connecting.

Speaking of connecting, Mercury goes direct in Scorpio on December 6th, which means we can finally put those annoying communication mishaps and tech hold-ups behind us. However, since the little planet is hanging out in Scorpio, you can expect interactions to be direct, heavy, and substantial (until it shifts into Sagittarius on the 12th). We might be watching fluffy Hallmark Christmas specials on repeat, but our real life is anything but. We’re sharper and more passionate than ever; subtlety and settling just won’t do.

Then on December 7th, a magical New Moon in Sagittarius means we can use Jupiter’s lucky energy to speed up any divine intentions we might have for this month or for the New Year. So start thinking of what you want to create, because it might just end up coming true. Here’s what else the stars have in store for you in your weekly horoscope.
