Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week Ahead

You weekly horoscope is here. It's Capricorn season, which means a mixed bag of holidays, celebrations, and expectations. As always, gratitude is the key that turns so many inner locks. Take stock of what you have, and look for at least one person you can lift with a kind word, practical assistance, or a virtual check-in. Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of December 21 through December 27, 2020.

Aries | Aries rising

Follow up on leads and ideas this week as your career house is lit for the next month—meaning all eyes are on your movements, achievements, and any spectacular misadventures. This is an excellent time to put yourself up for more responsibility and duties, but make sure the recognition and reward are part of the deal. Over the next two months, update your profile and C.V., and work the boardroom or virtual breakout rooms to your every advantage! Remember, fortune favors the brave, not the perfect.

Taurus | Taurus rising

Need more elbow room at the table of life, Taurus? Over the next month, you have the chance to expand your mind as well as your horizons. Education or setting up your own thing is favored, so make the most of the practical, easy flow by taking steps to help the universe help you. Say yes to opportunity; reach out across virtual borders for jobs or collaborations. Setting up online is perfect because there’s no restriction. The same goes for choosing a course of study. Pick your favorite topic and find a respectable, certified platform.

Gemini | Gemini rising

Monday heralds a monthlong focus on your shared resources sector. Merge talent to get you where you want to go. You may need to hire, contract, or be contracted, so make yourself available too. Collabs are beneficial; however, get it in writing with an exit clause. Cozying up? Ask the questions you know you want to be answered. Be sure to respect anything shared privately, and confide only in someone trusted. A great mystery or thriller series, movie, or book will satiate if you have time off coming up.

Cancer | Cancer rising

Look across the table, couch, and/or text-message history at who is occupying the place marked VIP in your life. This month your most significant partnerships are lit up. Make time to catch up with and share personally to grow relationships, as a little goes a long way at this time of year. As always, balance openness with boundaries and remember your part is equal for success in collabs or partnership. Joint decisions require both contributors to put themselves front and center; from there, find the place where you intersect, instead of putting the relationship first.

Leo | Leo rising

Find a balance between downtime, duty, self-care, and health habits. This month your health and work sectors are front and center. Weed out time-wasting habits you have in those departments. Let professionalism as well as discipline be your bywords. Of course, productivity is important, but it must be balanced by the yin art of caring for yourself. Without those time wasters, make the most of extra space and fill your energy reserves.

Virgo | Virgo rising

If you’ve been exploring or working on creative ideas, this week put some wattage behind them and power them up. Your zone of romance, fun, and self-expression is lit up like Christmas. If you have a captive audience over tofurkey or some extra time off, test out your ideas! Exploring things that bring you pleasure, yet finding a way for them to also be productive, is a great way to learn more about yourself as well as recharge your batteries. Prepare to be fangirled, as your gifts aren’t going unnoticed! Enjoy the extra attention; you deserve it.

Libra | Libra rising

Your zone of all things home is the focus over the next month. Be ready to host, toast, and set up the Zoom screen because this is where you’re shining right now. Revive your interest in home projects that have gathered dust, or make an executive decision and clear them out. Time with your closest people, chosen family, and blood relatives will enlighten and give you a lot to think about. It’s essential you do your familial duty where fitting, but don’t be put out if you need to limit contact. Where there’s a will, there’s a way to keep up connection and tweak tradition.

Scorpio | Scorpio rising

Feed your mind and soul by sharing stories, news, and conversation as you go about your errands this week. Relationships with locals and siblings are highlighted, so take an authoritative or responsible position if there’s any way your assistance or involvement will make a positive difference. Your organizational skills may come in handy; take the reins if need be. Remember to maintain your boundaries on more personal issues if you want a certain relationship to stay platonic.

Sagittarius | Sagittarius rising

Your financial sector is highlighted from Monday, so give it some focus. This is a great time to refine or review your strategy if you’re not entirely clear on it. Remember that changing times create opportunity so take stock. Venus, the planet of love and abundance, is in your sign for the next month, dialing up your style, outlook, and interest in connecting with people. The perfect time to update headshots, do an all-out photo shoot, or match Xmas knits for a fun group shot.

Capricorn | Capricorn rising

Happy birthday, Capricorn—it’s your season! Enjoy any time off work, and be sure to delegate duties if you’re hosting. This week it’s vital you step into opportunities that present you with new situations, as you easily take center stage. Foray forward on your personal trajectory and put any setbacks behind you. The pressure is lifting, so make the most of opportunities and be present with yourself. Enjoy the lighter feelings and embrace activity or even lead the charge, whether that’s work, family, or a swipe right.

Aquarius | Aquarius rising

Over the next month, take downtime when you need it. Process the last few months in terms of expansion, what you’ve learned, and unlearned. Reflect on your career triumphs and trials, friends, and growth. Shake it off so you can settle in with yourself and recenter. Drop into your body or transcend through music, meditation, and generally finding your zen. Experiment with frequency and vibration with a Tibetan singing bowl, crystal bowl, or toning with your voice and feeling it in the head, body, and energy field radiating around you.

Pisces | Pisces rising

This week connect with friends, groups, and people you may have been too busy to catch up with due to the end-of-year work or community commitments. You’re shining in the team leadership department, so find your squad and set some goals. If you have the opportunity to attend something out of your usual track, take up the opportunity, IRL, virtual, or whichever way it presents. It’s great for your self-development as well as spotting opportunities.
