What is in your horoscope this week - December 18, 2023

These are the horoscopes for week commencing December 18, 2023.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

This looks to be a zesty festive week when you’ll want to give gifts that have that personal touch and are a little different. Plus, you may have a few pleasant surprises coming, with unexpected guests and calls. If your plans go astray, don’t let it bother you. Adopt a chilled approach as it’s all part of the fun. As the Sun eases into Capricorn, it’s time to set your intentions for 2024.

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

Bold ideas can be a feature of this week, with fresh ideas and opportunities encouraging you to let go of the past and embrace bigger and better things. With festive events on the go, your mind may be very busy with preparations and arrangements. Sort out those lingering issues early so you’ll have a clear run and an easier time as the holidays approach. You deserve it, Taurus!

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

Venus’s face-off with Uranus could result in tensions. If you’ve resisted connecting with someone close, making that call is important. The outcome can be a huge relief. The days ahead have a therapeutic quality that might resolve lingering issues. Conversations may be intense, but if you steer carefully you’ll be able to laugh at what recently seemed so serious.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

Cut out anything that you don’t need to do, as the less you have on your plate the better. Unexpected situations could disrupt your plans, yet might result in a shift that changes things for the better. You may get bogged down at work or with holiday plans and try to be too perfect. Relax and it will all come together. Even if there are a few hiccups, it’s all part of the fun.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

Feel as though you’re in the middle of a drama? Themes of power and control, as well as brilliant insights and the potential for a revolution, are showing. There’s a lot going on at a very busy time of the year, so it might help to simplify things or take a philosophical approach. Despite this, there is potential for positive strides and a great opportunity to kick back and enjoy yourself.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

The Sun’s move into Capricorn increases the emphasis on fun and leisure. And yet you might still feel a tad hassled. With Venus opposing trendsetter Uranus, you’ll be ready to break with tradition and try something different this holiday week. It’s also possible someone will show up out of the blue or cancel unexpectedly. You’ll need to be flexible and take it all in your stride.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

With so much happening, be prepared for a hectic time that brings out the best in you. Communication can be key to resolving any issue. And the right words spoken at the right time could soothe and reassure. And yet if you need to speak out, you will. The Sun’s entrance into Capricorn puts the emphasis on family events, and you’ll be the one that makes them special.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

You may try and reason your way out of any dilemmas, but in the end it all comes down to trusting your instincts. Whatever complications you face, there is light at the end of the tunnel. This week brings the chance of a reset that gets 2024 off to a positive start. You’ll realize that certain things can’t go on as they are. The decision to embrace new options will boost morale.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

Have last-minute gifts to buy? Don’t obsess over getting this right, as a potent tie suggests you’ll never get anywhere. Choose the simplest options or make some yourself and go from there. Plus, an ongoing issue could move towards resolution as a sparky tie can find you overcoming resistance and making a move. The weekend may bring you and another closer than expected.

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

The Sun’s move into your sign means you’ll be in your element over this hectic week and keen to make your mark. Half the fun at these times is letting others chip in, so giving people space to do so will bring everyone together. The willingness to be bold and try something different could mean a creative or romantic opportunity comes to life, and you’ll be excited by its potential.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

A positive shift may be in the air as something you’ve hoped for looks likely to happen. There might be one hurdle to overcome, and to do so you’ll need to push through self-imposed barriers. Go for it, Aquarius, as a golden prize awaits. The weekend brings a chance to decompress and get your bearings. And Mercury’s move back in Sagittarius can coincide with a blast from the past.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

The Sun’s move into your social sector lights up this zone just in time for the holidays. It’s also an opportunity to kick back and enjoy the party scene, if you want to. Still, an awkward link suggests someone could be difficult if you don’t invite them along or spend time with them. Sort this issue out sooner rather than later so you can enjoy yourself and revel in the week ahead.
