Pisces, December 2015

In our monthly horoscopes, we provide a more in depth look at what's happening in the sky. You can read the rest of our monthly horoscopes here.

The end of November was an extremely revealing time period for you: Issues you didn't even know you were confused about were challenged and cleared up. December brings more clarity, and early December is especially communicative. Some happy but unexpected surprises and messages will come your way when the planet of communication, Mercury, trines Uranus, the planet of surprise, on December 1. You'll especially notice this cosmic combination play out in your finances and at work.

The month begins with Mercury in the sign of the seeker, Sagittarius, highlighting the sector your chart that rules fame and success. Thinking and talking bout your reputation and work has been an ongoing theme for you. Uranus is currently in Aries, an energetic Fire sign, where it's currently highlighting the financial sector of your chart— this is an exciting placement, since Uranus is such an electric and innovative energy. Conversations you need to have about cash, budgets, or your value at your job will be productive. You'll also feel popular and special today— yay!

While work and popularity are going well, tension will arrive in your relationships on December 4, when Mercury squares Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion, and it's currently in Earth sign Virgo, highlighting the relationship center of your chart. The next few months are major around you growing your relationships and taking them to the next level; however, on December 4, the challenge from Mercury (the planet of communication and logic) will ask you to detach and objectively examine how things are going in your partnerships. Are solid boundaries in place? Are there things you need to get off your chest? And, very importantly, do you and your partner(s) share the same vision of the future? Mercury is in philosophical Sagittarius, a sign that is all about big dreams and visions. If you and your partners are not aiming for similar goals, what will that mean for your relationships—not only your romantic ones, but friendly, professional and creative partnerships as well?

Lovely Venus, the planet of beauty and harmony, enters sexy and seductive Scorpio on December 4. This is a lucky placement, Pisces, being that both you and Scorpio are Water signs. Venus and Scorpio together creates an interesting vibe: Venus is sweet, but Scorpio's a little sour. As the sign of transformation, death, and rebirth, Scorpio's positive traits are that it's psychic, creative, emotional, and deep, but it has a negative side, too: Jealous and obsessive, Scorpios are famous bridge burners.

Venus in Scorpio is a passionate and intense energy, and you should have some fun with it, Pisces. Venus will be activating the part of your chart that rules adventure and exploration, travel and higher learning. Publishing or getting yourself "out there" is also a huge theme for this astrological transit. While romance is obviously a huge theme with Venus (and yes, you will be getting lots of love this month), the mental boost Venus in perceptive Scorpio will provide you with will be phenomenal.

Mercury also changes signs, entering Earth sign Capricorn on December 9, which will increase communication between you and your social network. Expect to make plenty of connections over the next few weeks! This will be a really fun transit, Pisces— while you love to party, sometimes you can be a shy or quiet sign. You'll be feeling more confident and talkative with chatty Mercury in no-bullshit Capricorn. This is a great time to make new friends and connect with new groups of people.

Warrior Mars opposes rebel Uranus on December 10. This will be a stressful day; people will act hastily and everyone will be in the mood to fight. Issues around money will also pop up for you, Pisces. You may feel pushed to spend money, or impulsive behavior could make you feel super tense about your financial or material security. If you have friends or partners who aren't sharing with you, you will feel like it's really, totally unfair, and today you could reach your breaking point. While you're one of the most generous signs in the zodiac, today will be the wrong day to fuck with you and your wallet. Today could also be emotionally draining, especially if you're in a relationship where you feel unappreciated or used. The face-off between Mars and Uranus will push you to a place where you have to confront the issue.

December isn't all stress! The next day is lovely: Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune, a dreamy, whimsical planet that's currently in your sign, on December 11. This will be such a freeing vibe—the negativity from the previous day will be healed and washed away. This is a great day to reconnect with yourself and your goals. You'll be able to express yourself effectively, and you'll feel like nothing is holding you back. The New Moon in Sagittarius also occurs on December 11. This is fantastic for creating a fresh start in your career or around your reputation!

Your focus returns to your partnerships when the Sun in Sagittarius squares Jupiter in Virgo on December 14. Jupiter is an abundant and lucky energy, but sometimes it can take things to an extreme. If you've been going "overboard" in your relationships (romantic and non romantic) recently, a chance to reign things in will come today when the planet of clarity and confidence, the Sun, comes and squares Jupiter, keeping the expansive energy in check.

Jupiter is your traditional ruling planet, so its celestial movements really resonate with you— this will be a special day to keep in mind when it comes to partnering. Your modern ruling planet, Neptune, also gets some action this month— a sextile from Mercury occurs on December 14 as well, which tells us that your friends will have your back in a major way as you go through all the adjustments in your relationships this month.

So much of the second half of the month is focused on your friendships, acquaintances, and social connections. The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21 (yay, Winter Solstice!), illuminating the social section of your chart. But romance will still have its place in your life, especially during the Full Moon on December 25 in nurturing Cancer, which will bless you with loads of flirtatious vibes and creativity. Communication will also go well on this day, with Mercury trine your traditional ruling planet, Jupiter, bringing plenty of exciting news to your relationships.

More gifts will come your way when Uranus stations direct, ending its retrograde, on December 25. As we discussed earlier, Uranus is currently hanging out in the financial center of your chart, and now that it's moving forward you can expect some good vibes around money, especially if you're willing to try new things around budgeting or experimenting with new talents. For example, if you've been knitting all autumn, perhaps try to sell some of your pieces— you'll be surprised with the response!

Venus enters Sagittarius on December 30, bringing more blessings to the part of your chart that rules fame, fortune, and success—you are really going places, Pisces! Figuring out what goals you want to accomplish next is a big part of your 2015 wrap-up. Going into the new year, it seems like a great deal of clarity around partnerships and cash will be available. Plenty of new friends are on the way too— but, Pisces, you are one of the more psychic signs in the zodiac, so you probably knew that already!
