Trouble does arrive early this month, due to Mars opposing Uranus on December 1, which will bring some unexpected shake-ups, confrontations, and endings. Expect things to be especially frustrating at work, or around your daily chores and responsibilities, and to be stressed from lack of sleep or downtime. Don’t overbook yourself early this month—you’re close to burning out, little Scorpion! Luckily, the mood shifts the next day, December 2, when lucky planet Jupiter (which is currently living it up in your sign) makes a harmonious connection with Neptune, bringing romance and a boost in creativity.Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius begins on December 2, or December 3 if you’re on the East Coast, which will find you reconsidering many of the conversations you’ve had through November, especially those that concern money or other things you spend, like your time, energy, and care. Are you investing in the right things and people?Wait until Mercury ends its retrograde on December 22 before signing any contracts or making important decisions, buying expensive equipment, or traveling. Watch out for technical difficulties and delays. Mercury retrograde is annoying, but it is a good time to rest and regroup.A full moon in Gemini arrives on December 3, and shit’s going to get intense. Full moons are a time of release, and Gemini loves to chat, so expect major conversations to go down—secrets are being revealed, proclamations of love (and hate) are likely. This is a powerful time for letting go of emotional baggage, so find someone trusty you can spill your heart out to.

A climax (pun intended) in your sex life will arrive, and an energy shift around debts (monetary or emotional) will take place, too. If you owe someone something, this full moon is a beautiful time to pay it back.Your planetary ruler, Mars, enters your sign, Scorpio, on December 9! A much-needed boost in energy will arrive: Mars has been in people-pleasing Libra, a sign in which the warrior planet is not very powerful, but your sign comes with a built-in weapon, the stinger, so Mars is able to be effective when it’s traveling through. Expect people to find you more aggressive in the coming weeks!A new moon in Sagittarius arrives on December 18, bringing a fresh start around all the issues relating to self-worth and cash that you’ve been working through during Mercury retrograde. This is a fantastic time to cast a money spell, or work some magic around boosting your self-esteem. Mars being at home in your sign is sure to give you a boost in confidence, too.One of the most important days this month is December 19. It heralds the start of a new two-and-a-half-year journey of disciplining your mind and becoming a more effective communicator, thanks to Saturn entering Capricorn. Saturn in Capricorn is going to force you to get focused. You can be paranoid, jealous, and obsessive at times, Scorpio, but it’s time to cut it out and get real. Only the facts matter now. Speaking clearly and honestly is your goal during this time, unless you want Saturn, the planet of fear and restriction, to make life rough for you. Handling important paperwork will also be a theme during this time, so expect to have to grow up and fill out the forms you’ve been avoiding. This is also an important time to connect with, and if possible rebuild, relationships with your siblings.The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21, the winter solstice, joining Saturn in illuminating the communication sector of your chart. Expect the tone of your conversations to be serious. The vibe will be somber. Venus enters Capricorn and meets Saturn on December 25, making this a great time to discuss commitments around love and money. Again, don’t expect the mood to be cheerful or cuddly—it’s just not like that when Saturn is around. It’s time to be grown-up and responsible!The month wraps up with Mars making a harmonious connection with Neptune (currently in fellow Water sign Pisces) on December 28, creating a dreamy, whimsical atmosphere—Mars is passion and Neptune is all about fantasy and romance. It’s a brilliant time to make art, or to make out with someone. Good luck this month, Scorpio, and see you in 2018!A full moon in Gemini arrives on December 3, and shit’s going to get intense. Secrets are being revealed, proclamations of love (and hate) are likely.
