Your Horoscope This Week: 15th to 21st December

As we move through this final week of Sag Season, we’re basking in the cosmic afterglow of the Gemini full moon, which occurred in the early morning hours of the 15th. Full moons are moments of culmination, and this one invites us to reflect on how far we’ve come since Gemini season 2024. Take a moment to revisit the intentions you set back then—they’re likely to manifest in meaningful ways this week. 

The end of Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius on the 15th also signals the green light to untangle any miscommunications, mishaps, or missed connections from the past three weeks. It’s an ideal time to tie up loose ends, especially in your professional and personal relationships. But remember, we’re still in Mercury’s post-shadow period, so no need to rush; pace yourself and avoid overloading your to-do list. Mars retrograde is still very much active, so pace yourself as you enjoy the rest of this year. 

Toward the end of the week, Capricorn season begins on the 21st, marking the solstice and an energetic shift toward structure, organisation, and long-term planning. This season’s earthy energy helps us focus on what truly matters as we wrap up 2024. Although we’re approaching the end of the calendar year, the astrological year is still in its final quarter. The astro new year won’t begin until Aries Season in March, so consider Capricorn season as a time to refine and fortify your foundations. All zodiac signs are encouraged to step into their inner authority, clarify their goals, and make strategic plans for the months ahead. 

Capricorn season also asks us to pause and reflect on what we’re building. What systems are supporting your dreams, and what outdated methods are holding you back? With the Sun entering Capricorn this week, now’s the time to map out your next moves thoughtfully. Embrace this structured energy as an opportunity to streamline your priorities, tie up loose ends, and establish clear intentions for the future.

Aries, how are you feeling now that Mercury retrograde has completed its journey in your sector of expansion? Ready to stop second-guessing your big ideas and just go for it?

Just remember: your planetary ruler Mars is still retrograde until 23rd February, so slow and steady wins the race. 

With Capricorn season activating your career sector starting the 21st, it’s time to focus on your professional ambitions. As the solstice strikes, you might feel a renewed sense of drive to end the year on a high note, especially with Chiron, the asteroid of wounds, preparing to shift direct in your sign next week. Reflect on how far you’ve come, Aries, and ask yourself: What am I ready to confidently own as my superpower? Make time to celebrate your wins—you’ve earned it. 

Taurus, does life feel a little less intense now that Mercury retrograde is over in your sector of depth and outside resources? If you’ve been stuck in financial or emotional limbo these past few weeks, you can breathe a little easier.

Still, take your time finalising anything major until the post-shadow period clears—no need to rush into anything you can’t fully commit to. 

Starting the 21st, the solstice and start of Capricorn season lights up your sector of expansion, inspiring you to dream bigger and think outside your usual comfort zones.
