Warning—Your December Horoscope Says This Could Be the Most Chaotic Month of the Year

Your December 2022 horoscope is full of bumps in the road, but the turbulence is worth it when the adventure is so exciting. The sun is charging through spirited and spontaneous Sagittarius, reminding you that life isn’t always meant to be taken so seriously. When the sun is in a fire sign, laughter is always the best medicine (especially when you feel like flipping out instead).

If you’re wondering why you feel so lazy and pissed off, you can blame it on the fact that red-hot Mars is still retrograding through catty and bratty Gemini. And on the first day of the month, Venus—planet of love—will form an opposition with Mars retrograde, bringing up deep-seated tensions. Whether you’re feeling frustrated by certain disagreements or flustered by the increasing sexual tension, this chaotic energy could increase your propensity for conflict (but also, your desire for some sizzling make-up sex). And once Neptune retrograde comes to an end on December 3, it could shine a light on some of the insecurities and doubts that have been hindering the harmony you share with loved ones. Look inward and recognize that your beliefs about the world also affect the way you experience the world.

Just before you’re feeling ready to throw the towel in, the universe will throw you a bone. On December 9, Venus—planet of love—will move away from the negative vibes of Mars retrograde and enters stable and pragmatic Capricorn. Nothing screams “power couple” louder than Venus in Capricorn, so start making plans!

By December 20, Jupiter—planet of expansion and adventure—will re-enter passionate and primal Aries, reigniting your inner flame and rebooting your energetic batteries. And right after the sun enters Capricorn on December 21, it will square off with Jupiter in Aries, which is like lighting a match beneath each of the New Year’s resolutions you’ll be dreaming up. If you can dream it, you can achieve it, baby.

When a new moon in Capricorn takes place on December 23, it will be a beautiful time to start laying down the foundation for this next chapter of your life. Capricorn is not about taking shortcuts, because doing things by the book is a tried and true method for a reason.

However, just because you’re getting your ducks in a row doesn’t mean the universe won’t toss a few curveballs in your direction. On December 29, Mercury will station retrograde at 24 degrees Capricorn, making it more difficult to maintain that “new year, new me” attitude. It may be wise to lower your expectations, especially if you were hoping to hit the ground running. Mercury retrograde has a way of making us take two steps backward before we can eventually take three steps forward. Sometimes, the smallest improvements are the most meaningful!

If you’re concerned that Mercury retrograde is a bad omen for 2023, think again. Mercury retrograde will immediately join forces with romantic Venus, giving you the chance to clean up a hot mess or right a few staggering wrongs. After all, Mercury retrograde gives us the opportunity to regroup, so let this be your reminder that you are a human being, not a soulless productivity machine. Let 2023 be about what you *really* want to do, not what you think you’re supposed to do.
