Happy December, luxurious Taurus. Last month, Mars stationed in your fourth House, bringing cozy vibes to any love affairs. And Taurus loves all things cozy. Mars begins its backward dance, which could make your libido and ambition shift, but despite that, there may be professional opportunities this month.

The Mars retrograde begins on Friday, December 6, and lasts through the end of February. Over the next few months, you may feel your libido ebb and flow. That’s okay. Make sure to honor whatever arises for you. Mars retrograde can also affect your ambition. It’s a time for rest rather than hustle, which, honestly, can be great news for a Taurus. Also, on Friday, December 6, generous Venus enters your 10th House of Social Status. This could mean that someone pushes you to work harder than you want and you must stand up for your right to rest. It’s a day for holding your boundaries and honoring a work/life balance.

On Saturday, December 7, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, moves into your 10th House of Social Status, continuing the theme of considering work/life balance. This is a reflective month. In particular, you should also consider how much time you give to your creative projects. As you’re ruled by pretty Venus, you’re happiest when you’re creating beautiful things. Also on Saturday, December 7, dreamy Neptune ends its retrograde and goes direct in your 11th House of Friendship. If you’ve felt out of touch with friends, this weekend is a lovely time to reconnect. While you’re in the zone creatively, playing music, or working on your book, it can be hard to step away, but often spending time with others can lead to your greatest breakthroughs.

Astrologers can’t promise money in this economy, but we can tell you what days the stars are feeling generous. One of those dates arrives on Sunday, December 15, when there’s a Gemini full moon, the time of manifestation, in your opulent second House of Possessions. While it’s okay to cross your fingers and keep an eye on your inbox, know that your second House also rules emotions, which we must possess too. As a result, this day is big for accepting feelings, perhaps difficult ones. That is compounded by the fact that also on Sunday, December 15, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct. This allows conversations to flow more easily and any travel at the end of the month to happen more seamlessly.

Venus, your ruling planet, trines, a favorable aspect, lucky Jupiter on Thursday, December 19. This should be a super-happy day. Connect with friends, and should you feel called, use the lucky vibes to assert yourself professionally. It’s another day when the stars are feeling generous.

The sun moves into Capricorn on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, Saturday, December 21. You may already be with friends and family for the winter holidays. And if not, make some plans. Not unlike Christmas, the winter solstice is meant for spending time with the people you love. For the next few weeks, the sun is in your philosophical ninth House. You may feel brooding or stuck in your head, so work on mindfulness skills to be present. It’s also a time for travel.

If you’ve been struggling with your spiritual practices, Chiron should bring some healing to that area of your life.

The month starts to wrap up when Chiron, the wounded healer, ends its retrograde and goes direct in your heady 12th House on Sunday, December 29. If you’ve been struggling with your spiritual practices, this should bring some healing to that area of your life. The next day, on Monday, December 30, the sky goes dark with a Capricorn new moon affecting your philosophical ninth House. As an earth sign, sometimes you can get stuck in your ways, Taurus. However, this transit is all about allowing yourself to embrace new hobbies and interests. Just like any ebbs and flows in your libido, the trick is to allow yourself to evolve and shift. Have a lovely New Year and we’ll see you in January.
