Your Monthly Love Horoscope for December 2022. Discover your Monthly Love Horoscope for each zodiac sign here.
Aries
Rethink some of your past romantic moves while your home planet Mars spends time retrograde in Gemini this month, Aries. Consider what might have been had you actually paid attention to some of the warning signs in your last or current relationship.
At the full moon on December 7, also in the airy sign of Gemini, communication is the top priority in your love life. Pay attention to details and follow up your words with actions. In other words, don’t promise to text someone when you have no intention of doing it!
The optimistic sun opposes Mars on the seventh as well, adding an unnecessary dose of romantic competitiveness. Why try to turn something into a contest when no one else is even thinking about it?
On December 20, fortunate Jupiter leaves empathetic Pisces for your independent sign, so you’re able to make your own luck rather than rely on others to create it for you. Your love life has a much faster pace now as well, which you thrive in.
Watch out for a big energy shift on the twenty-third as asteroid Chiron goes direct while in your courageous sign, encouraging you to leave the past behind. What’s done is done, and as much as you’d like a do-over, those are rare. Accept responsibility for whatever pain you’ve caused (to others or yourself) as you prepare to move on.
Taurus
Your actions lean toward secrecy while your seductive leader Venus is paired with sizzling Sagittarius and your shadowy eighth house early this month, so it wouldn’t be unusual for you to be drawn to forbidden love and taboo sex acts. You might not give in to your darker urges, but the temptation is strong.
On December 9, Venus moves into serious earth sign Capricorn, bringing out your need to be financially responsible in your relationship or love life. Would you love to buy that special someone a luxurious, spendy gift? Absolutely. But you’re far too budget conscious right now to be frivolous.
You should have some good news headed your way during the Mercury-Uranus earth trine on the seventeenth, but an exciting career event might take time away from your current or potential partner. Although work comes first now, you can always find a way to let them know they’re on your mind.
December 21 marks the winter solstice and the day when the confident sun enters Capricorn and your ninth house of expansion. You’re motivated by a new season and have the determination to make the most of every romantic opportunity. You have some amazing end-of-year growth to look forward to, Taurus!
Gemini
Your lead planet Mercury has an important message for you regarding a current or potential partnership as it spends time in outgoing Sagittarius and your relationship zone in the first week of December. But will you pay attention? It’s more important to listen than talk during this brief but insightful transit.
On December 6, Mercury moves into determined Capricorn and your eighth house of sex and mystery and you struggle to be open and honest about your feelings and possibly your intentions. Watch your use of sarcasm now, Gemini. Your biting words sting more than you realize.
You’ll be wearing your emotions fully on your sleeve during the full moon in your expressive sign on the seventh, but make sure you don’t turn your complaints into a pity party. Because this lunation falls in your first house of selfishness, it would be easy to make things about you that actually aren’t.
The Universe can’t pass up one last opportunity to complicate things, so it throws in one more Mercury retrograde cycle, starting on December 29. Just be aware of potential glitches and cancellations, especially with regard to travel at this time of year. If you and a current or potential love interest are going somewhere together, mishaps along the way could be a true test of how well you actually get along.
Cancer
If you’ve been forced to confront some of your biggest fears or regrets recently, you’ll be happy to escape back into blissful ignorance when dreamy Neptune goes direct in Pisces on December 3. Maybe things in a current or budding relationship aren’t perfect, but it’s a lot easier to pretend they are now.
The moon affects our emotions, but because it’s your cosmic guidance counselor, its moves influence your sign more than most. Which is why the full moon in your psychic zone on the seventh grants you amazing powers to see things others can’t. This gives you a huge advantage in the game of love, Cancer, so use your intuitive skills wisely.
Two major astrological events happen on December 21: we experience the renewal of the winter solstice, and the sun moves into power-seeking Capricorn. It’s time to set new goals and go after them with gusto. Is it wrong to want to date or be with someone for their clout, fame, money, etc.?
A new moon in Capricorn on the twenty-third highlights your house of negotiating and diplomacy and helps you get your way without seeming like it’s as important to you as it may be. This opens the door for manipulative tendencies, but you don’t necessarily have to take that route. It’s just one of your many options during this convincing lunation.
Leo
Your love life has the potential to be filled with laughter and playfulness as your shiny leader sun spends time in enthusiastic Sagittarius and your fun zone for most of the month. Of course, you still have the need for a lot of ego-boosting moments, but the people who love you expect that. If you’re just getting to know someone, however, they might be put off by your needy behavior.
Lovestruck Venus leaves adventurous Sagittarius for goal-driven Capricorn on December 9, so you might have to put on hold the fun and games that started earlier in the month while you deal with more serious matters. You’ll be more reliable and responsible now, which are excellent traits for attracting a partner or keeping one around!
The sun joins Venus in Capricorn on the twenty-first, encouraging you to zero in on what it will take to truly make you happy in the long term. We’re not talking about the little stuff here, Leo. This is intense, life-altering energy that can help you make some radical changes that will benefit your love life for years to come.
A coy Mercury-Venus meetup on December 29 gives you mad flirting skills and dials your charm up to eleven out of ten. No one can resist you now.
Prepare yourself to take on each month with your personalized Monthly Horoscope!
Virgo
Your smart ruler Mercury is visiting the honest Archer during its square to evasive Neptune on December 1, so it will be difficult to get a straight answer out of anyone. And vice versa. You’re not really all that forthcoming either, which makes it difficult to have meaningful conversations.
Quick-moving Mercury partners with steady fellow earth sign Capricorn in your fifth house of creativity on the sixth, so you’re focused on being patient and setting goals. There’s room to use your imagination, but you aren’t interested in leaving anything to chance. If you know what you want, get it secured.
A Mercury-Uranus trine on December 17 could send a lot of unique, interesting and odd people in your direction, which might result in a new friendship or romance. If you’re not in the market for a plus-one, maybe they’re a match for someone you know.
The last Mercury retrograde cycle starts while your smart leader is paired with reliable Capricorn on the twenty-ninth, so you can think your way out of a lot of issues caused by this backward effect. All problems are not created equal, and they definitely aren’t all that they appear to be. Do some fact-checking before you panic.
Libra
Your beautiful leader Venus joins with Sagittarius and sextiles determined Saturn on December 1, so your month is off to a promising start. If you’re ready to make a commitment to someone new or deepen an existing one, your success is all but guaranteed today.
On the third, the vibe is a little different, because the uneasy Venus-Neptune square puts doubt and suspicion into your love life. Is someone being straight with you, or are they just saying what you want to hear? The truth isn’t clear during this hazy aspect, so hold off on making decisions until you get confirmation one way or the other.
Lovely Venus leaves exciting Sagittarius for security-seeking Capricorn on December 9, and the fact that this exchange of energy takes place in your house of family and domestic life is significant. Your sense of duty and responsibility toward those you love (or want in your life) is strong now. Show how dependable you are through actions, not words.
On the eighteenth, asteroid Ceres partners with your airy sign and sends you on a quest for a better work/life balance. Is a demanding lover taking up too much of your time? Is work? And, Libra, are you taking enough time for yourself?
Scorpio
Your strong, unshakable co-leader Mars is retrograde in versatile Gemini to start the month, so you definitely have options when it comes to dealing with the drama and BS surrounding your love life. There’s plenty of it to wade through right now, Scorpio, but take your time. Mapping out a plan before you act will ensure success.
On December 7, a sun-Mars opposition brings out your aggression and uber-competitiveness, which aren’t always conducive to being in a healthy relationship. If a current partner or (potential) date sees these traits in you too often, it will no doubt send up a lot of red flags.
On the ninth, Venus leaves exciting Sagittarius for steady fellow earth sign Capricorn and your fifth house of pleasure, so you’re focused on being patient and having goals, especially in a sexual sense. Needless to say, you prefer slow, deliberate lovemaking sessions to quickies right now.
December 31 brings a magnetic conjunction between Venus, the promoter of love, and your intense co-ruler Pluto that increases your need for emotional closeness. Notice we said “need,” not “want,” because having a completely soul-altering, all-encompassing karmic connection with the person you’re in love with (or crushing on) isn’t optional. If you aren’t feeling it, it probably won’t last much longer.
Sagittarius
The sun is in your first house as a new month begins, which means you’re really feeling yourself. And why shouldn’t you be?! You’ve got it going on, and anyone would be lucky to be with you.
Your lucky home planet Jupiter leaves introverted Pisces for outgoing fellow fire sign Aries on December 20, and your heart beats a little faster as love and romance accelerate into the fast lane. All that adrenaline can be a real turn-on, but once things settle down you might look around and wonder why you behaved the way you did. It’s normal to get caught up in the excitement of this transit, Sagittarius, but just check yourself every so often to make sure things aren’t getting too far out of control.
On the twenty-first, the optimistic sun leaves your hopeful sign to hook up with patient Capricorn and then immediately forms an square to Jupiter, which can send out some conflicting messages. Let’s put it this way, your love goals are going to be kicking into overdrive now, so take a little break if you start to feel overwhelmed. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have the energy to go after your dreams.
Capricorn
Your sign is busy playing host to several cosmic influencers this month, Capricorn, starting when IT manager Mercury leaves Sagittarius for your first house on December 6. You prefer to use the direct approach when staying in touch with a current or potential partner, and while you do have a wicked (and smart) sense of humor, if someone doesn’t get it, it isn’t a perfect match.
On the ninth, caring and compassionate Venus leaves airy Aquarius and pairs up with your no-nonsense sign, so you won’t have a lot of patience for other people’s problems. Of course, you’re caring in your own way, but you aren’t overwhelmingly sympathetic toward a lover, partner or date who exaggerates or unnecessarily complicates things.
On December 21, the brilliant sun enters your first house of empowerment, and your true personality really shines. A new season is starting with the winter solstice today as well, giving you a renewed sense of hope about life and love. Things are looking up because you’re in full command of your romantic destiny!
A new moon in your sign on the twenty-third brings out your tendency to be grounded and goal driven and combines it with the magic of this forward-thinking lunation. Wonderful things are ahead when you apply yourself. If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. Commitment is big now. Propose. Move in together. Make a promise.
Aquarius
Your change-loving ruler Uranus is still traveling with steady Taurus, so does that mean you’re getting used to taking things slowly? Not really! You start the month still pushing boundaries to see what you can get away with, which may or may not work in a love sense. If the person you’re involved with or pursuing is another Aquarius or a fiery Aries, being a rebel might pay off.
There’s a full moon in fellow air sign Gemini and your house of pleasure on December 7, and your obsession with having a good time (including mind-blowing sex) eclipses all other activities in your life. Love and sex and romance and desire are all healthy parts of life, but they shouldn’t be the only things you care about.
Some exciting career news might cause disruption in your life during the Mercury-Uranus earth trine on the seventeenth, but this opportunity will likely be too good to pass up. If rescheduling a date or vacation with bae is a deal breaker for them, Aquarius, you have a big decision to make.
On December 22, romantic Venus trines innovative Uranus, encouraging you to try new ways of finding (or keeping) love. Download a new dating app or go on a tantric sex couples retreat. Mix it up. Try something totally different. Love favors the bold and open-minded for the next several weeks.
Pisces
Communication is a touchy issue right from the very start this month, because on the first day information specialist Mercury squares your indecisive home planet Neptune (retrograde) and sets the stage for confusion and thought distortion and disruption. If you don’t have a clear idea about what’s happening, it’s impossible to make a decision.
On December 3, Neptune goes direct while in your dreamy sign, giving you the green light to go back into your own little world of make believe. Is it 100 percent healthy to retreat when love gets difficult? No, but this is your preferred method of escape and your primary line of defense. If you’re quieter than usual around your partner or date, there’s a very good reason.
A pesky sun-Mars opposition on the seventh brings you out of your shell, however, and could make you a little more aggressive than usual. This is a big change in your demeanor, and you can’t help but get a little bit of attitude. Being confident is great, but don’t let it cross the line into something ugly. That’s super unlike you, Pisces, but, hey, things happen.
On December 20, lucky Jupiter leaves your low-key sign for outgoing, energetic Aries, at which point you become a much better self-promoter! If you’re looking for love, you have no problem making the first move and asking someone out. If you’re in a relationship, you get the nerve to finally ask for what you want. Putting your own needs and wants first isn’t selfish. For the right person, your assertiveness is actually a big turn-on!
