There is much to celebrate, from your accomplishments to the maturity seen in your romantic relationships this month. Yes, there’s stress this month, but overall, the stars offer you optimism. Cheers, Aries; what a way to end the year. Read your full December horoscope here, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Despite an anxious clash of planets early in the month, you recover quickly, Taurus. Your ruling planet, Venus (she rules beauty, abundance, and love, everyone is jealous of you for having Venus), teams up with hardworking Capricorn to give you exactly what you want and deserve out of love. Venus also wants you to know that even though the holidays put a lot of pressure on you and are insanely stressful, you can stay at home with a blanket any time you want. Cheers to advocating for your needs.  Read your full December horoscope here, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

When your ruling planet, Mercury, the messenger of the gods (and let’s be real, you are a god), gifts you with the confidence to hold your boundaries this holiday season and protect you from toxic family members and overly stressful commitments. A full moon encourages you to catch up on rest, but the latter half of December will fill up your social calendar quite quickly, so hurry up and make your New Year’s Eve plans, even if you end up kissing someone totally unexpected at midnight.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

When Neptune retrograde ends, the stars help you stand up for yourself this holiday season so that you can spend them with your true family, regardless of whether you have blood ties. Your ruling planet, mother moon, asks you to get witchy when it turns the sky bright with a full moon, then brings blessings to your love life when the sky goes dark during the new moon phase. You might feel slightly overwhelmed around New Year’s, but be patient with friends or anyone who shows up late to an event or is slow to text back. They will just blame Mercury retrograde, and Mercury retrograde is indeed coming.  Read your full December horoscope here, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

December is here with a very important message, Leo: You are a majestic cat, and lions like you need lots of attention, pets, and cat naps. You’re not being selfish for asserting your needs. You’re just being true to yourself. A full moon brings brilliant times with friends, and forget any toxic New Year’s resolutions, the end of the month sees you planning and plotting your dreams and deepest desires to live the life you deserve.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your ruling planet, Mercury, comes to your rescue in matters of love and lust this month, Virgo, helping you vocalize and then realize the love life that you need. And don’t feel selfish for needing one. Love and pleasure are your birthrights. Of course, your problematic ruling planet also stresses everyone out by going retrograde right before New Year’s Eve, but you are powerful enough to handle it.  Read your full December horoscope here, Virgo.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

The final month of the year sees you connecting with your home, Libra, which is about as important as it gets. From the pressure of spending money to travel mishaps (and yes, there is a Mercury retrograde this month), you need a sanctuary to return to. But perhaps the most significant lesson December brings you is that your home is about the people (and pets) that give it life. Read your full December horoscope here, Libra.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’re known for being great in bed, Scorpio, and everyone knows it. However, that’s not a complete picture of your sensuality. Not only does it leave out all the badass asexual Scorpios, but it neglects the many ways you deserve pleasure. December asks you to explore massage, rest, and methods of self-care people often don’t associate with your sign (but yes, this month also does bring welcome news in your love life). Plus, the stars give you the perfect excuse to buy yourself a present this year (without breaking the budget).  Read your full December horoscope here, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You have to pass the birthday torch to Capricorn this month, Sag, but don’t worry, you’ll continue to be the person everyone remembers most from the dinner party. You love presents, and who can blame you? That’s why your horoscope offers several gift guides for all budgets and even a selection hand-picked for Sagittariuses, archer. And, you absolutely must see what it means for sex and romance when your ruling planet, lucky Jupiter, lights up your 5th House of Pleasure in bold Aries.  Read your full December horoscope here, Sagittarius.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

“Work hard, play hard” are words that you live by, Capricorn, and the holiday season demonstrates your ability to do both more than any other time of the year. It helps that your season starts this month, so happy solar return. But seriously, get ahead at work and dance all night on New Year’s? It must be those sea-goat superpowers. Just remember to get some rest, Capricorn, especially around the full moon in Gemini, which may be stressful for your sign. Read your full December horoscope here, Capricorn.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You care deeply, Aquarius, even if you sometimes come off as aloof. The reason you seem distant can often be because you’re so involved in causes you care about that you neglect your personal life and your own needs. December asks you to do something you struggle with: Rest. Embrace sloth. Try to relax even though it’s the holidays and everything is stressful. The better you care for yourself, the better the world will be. Bonus points: December brings a full moon which signifies greatness for your love and sex life. Read your full December horoscope here, Aquarius.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

A full moon in Gemini sees you craving the cozy comforts of home. Take advantage of this lunation and rest up because December is a hell of a ride for you, Pisces, in the best way possible. The stars indicate success rising in both your private life and personal life. Although no astrologer can promise money in this economy, there are a few dates that you absolutely must circle in your calendar. Read your full December horoscope here, Pisces.
