• Welcome to December 2023, dear Taurus! The beginning of the month finds you focusing on intimacy, personal growth, and shared money or resources. You are analyzing deeper elements inside yourself and your intimate life, you are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships, and you are more observant than active - more strategic and deliberate. Watch out for ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money!
   
  Overall, you already have a challenging time with your social life and goals. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your self-presentation and views. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook. These are long-term trends that are expounded in Yearly Horoscopes.
   
  Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate. The dates and events may vary from individual to individual - as a glance at the observations for different decans would reveal. For more appropriate observations, he needs your date of birth.

  - Hide Interpretations
• 2nd December:
  Efficient and tactful Mercury in Capricorn harmonizes with your personal Sun. Increased confidence in what you have to say means your "audience" receives your message. You are able to think quickly on your feet now, and you are communicating with authority. Alternatively, you could receive important information from a superior now. Your reasoning skills are especially strong now.
   
  And then - Tactful Mercury, that is powerful and efficient in Capricorn, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
   This influence stays with you till 23rd December.
   
  Also - Clear thinking, good judgment, and organization skills - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. Catching up on paperwork, studying and research will also benefit from increased concentration and a good memory. Business dealings are favoured with this being the ideal day to sign contracts or enter into negotiations. Long-term investments and real estate are especially favoured. Making long-range plans is also a good idea now because of common sense and practicality.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 4th December.

• 3rd December:
  A profound effect on love life - is in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Libra clashing with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your routines and self-care. Power and control issues may arise in existing relationships. Simmering tension may come to the surface as some manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness. Threats and ultimatums are possible if either partner feels smothered or controlled. An unhealthy relationship may breakdown which would be very painful or dramatic.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 4th December.

• 5th December:
  Intense and sweet Venus in Scorpio opposes your personal Sun. This is a time when laziness and self-indulgence are more likely. You are simply not in any mood for hard work. You could be looking for an "easy way out". Delaying spending might be wise now. Relationships could prove expensive. You may find yourself at odds with someone you care about or someone in authority over a question of values. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you interact with now. Your ego may be a bit inflated right now. As long as you do not think with your ego, you could learn a whole lot about a person you love.
   
  And then - Sweet Venus, that is intense and committed in Scorpio, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your partnerships, ability to relate with others, and powers of negotiation. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
   This influence stays with you till 29th December.
   
  Again - Commitments to relationships and long-term investments - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio harmonizing with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. All relationships can benefit from your sensible approach and steady affections. New love found now maybe with someone from a different age group and would likely be a long-lasting, soul mate union. Shopping for party need, fashion, cosmetics, jewelry, and art will benefit from your eye for a bargain.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 7th December.

• 7th December:
  Dreamy Neptune turns Direct (forward-moving) in water sign Pisces from its retrograde motion, reviving your social life and goals. It is time to re-align your dreams and fantasies with reality - especially those concerning your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments. After a period of facing harsh realities, against those illusions that had shrouded your vision - you are back in business weaving renewed dreams and visions.
   Jupiter, Uranus - remain retrograde.
   
  Furthermore - Optimism and good news, as also research, study, and socializing - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. This is one of the best days for making plans because of your good instincts, and future-oriented and positive thinking. This is also the ideal day to clean up and organize - anything from your office to your whole life. Planning or setting off on a journey is favoured, especially long-distance travels.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 10th December.

• 10th December:
  Fun-loving and friendly atmosphere - is in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with sweet Venus in Scorpio - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. This a great day or two to relax and unwind. Socializing should be more enjoyable now because of less stress and more harmony in your relationships. You will have a greater ability to express your love and affection - and your intimate relationships can benefit from closer bonding.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 13th December.
   
  Furthermore - Love, party, and indulgements - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. So long as you can afford the time and money to do so, you will be feeling more affectionate and playful than usual, making this a good day for your love life, socializing, and for all kinds of pleasurable activity. There is a tendency here to be sloppy about details and lazy in general, and extra precautions are advised - overindulging and going to excess also needs to be watched with food, drink and drugs.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 11th December.

• 12th December:
  New Moon in - arrives today at 11:32 PM, and lands on your private world and psyche! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life.
   This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one's spiritual and, by extension, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfilment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house a period that is more active and busy than this one.

• 14th December:
  Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fellow earth sign Capricorn, afflicting your travels and experiences. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
   This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
   Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 16th December:
  Dishonesty, deception, confusion and disappointment, as also demotivation or lack of enthusiasm or even susceptibility to psychological and health issues - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Do not get disheartened on this day, as it is normal under this influence to feel insecure, guilty and apologetic - and please do not make any firm decisions on this day!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 18th December.

• 18th December:
  Optimism and good news, as also research, study, and socializing - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. This is one of the best days for making plans because of your good instincts, and future-oriented and positive thinking. This is also the ideal day to clean up and organize - anything from your office to your whole life. Planning or setting off on a journey is favoured, especially long-distance travels.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 20th December.

• 20th December:
  Change in love life and drama in relationships - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. If you already have a partner, then an unexpected event may cause a lot of upset tension - an affair at this time would more likely lead to a rapid separation. If single, then there are many options. If dating then, a new romance now would certainly be exciting. Whatever your situation, if love is not an option then change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible, but you should be extra careful with money.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 22nd December.

• 21st December:
  Clear thinking, good judgment, and organization skills - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. Catching up on paperwork, studying and research will also benefit from increased concentration and a good memory. Business dealings are favoured with this being the ideal day to sign contracts or enter into negotiations. Long-term investments and real estate are especially favoured. Making long-range plans is also a good idea now because of common sense and practicality.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 22nd December.

• 23rd December:
  Ambitious and mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizes with your personal Sun. This is a time when ego-gratifying circumstances are highlighted. You receive some sort of boost to your ego and confidence, perhaps through some form of recognition, however big or small. You are likely to feel energetically supported by others and by life's circumstances. Battles of will could occur now. Do not stress or strain – pushing your agenda on others is unlikely to do anything except cause friction.
   
  And then - Mighty Sun, that is ambitious and responsible in Capricorn, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy. For the next month or so, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  Again - Thought processing, expressions, and communications - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn meeting tactful Mercury in Capricorn - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. This is a very busy day mentally. Your mind will be on the ball which favours lots of interactions, clearing paperwork and bills, receiving and sending letters and emails, and short trips around town. You want to chat and start conversations on topics that interest you - with rationality and reasoning.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

• 24th December:
  Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius harmonizes with your personal Sun. Increased confidence in what you have to say means your "audience" receives your message. You are able to think quickly on your feet now, and you are communicating with authority. Alternatively, you could receive important information from a superior now. Your reasoning skills are especially strong now.
   
  And then - Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. Fated events take you to the past - you can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past - either in person or in your mind. This period can brings communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, lost items, and sometimes even finding items lost previously - especially surrounding your intimate world and resources. While this period might be good for flicking through old photo albums, it is generally considered more of a nuisance than a benefit. It can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked, and please double-check your emails and public or social networking posts. There is absolutely no reason to alter regular commute, tasks or communications - but this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport including a week before and after. Avoid signing contracts or other commitments during this period, unless they are absolutely necessary or urgent. Some important details may not yet be available, or others may be unreliable or dishonest. Also double-check with everything if you are planning a trip, vacation, or any other major transportation.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  Moreover - Patience, perseverance and a strong work ethic, as also sense of duty and serious attitude - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. This is a good day to complete serious or difficult tasks - and an excellent time to meet your goals. Younger people may seek out your wisdom and this is also a good time to ask for professional advice or that of your elders.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 26th December.

• 25th December:
  Romance, relaxation, and daydreaming - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio harmonizing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. Besides fantasizing about your ideal lover, you can put your hand to any creative projects under this influence. This transit especially favors singing but anything creative can lead to something beautiful. Your sense of compassion and wish to be of service to others is heightened. This would be a good time to join a charity or some other organization to help less fortunate people or endangered animals.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 27th December.

• 27th December:
  Full Moon in - arrives today at 12:33 AM, and lands on your private world and psyche! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life.
   Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You have been busy lately with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It is time to balance your life with some down time otherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It is an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret or private matter may be revealed, a health matter could come to light, or a work project can reach culmination.
   
  Additionally - High spirits, enthusiasm, and self-confidence - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your travels and experiences. You should be feeling on top of the world and enjoy warm and friendly relationships with everyone. There may be a tendency to sit back and enjoy the happy vibe, but in doing so, you could miss cashing in on any big opportunities for growth. But who cares? Not you, not today!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 29th December.
   
  Again - Confusion, and complications in discussions and business dealings - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. You really must avoid treachery and scandal - because even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 28th December.

• 28th December:
  Mental activity, and focused and acute thinking, as also arguments, losing your temper, and being unnecessarily rude or abusive - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius meeting aggressive Mars in Sagittarius - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Your piercing intellect can also be put to good use in arguing your case, and even defending others against harassment or provocation. Without using up this provocative energy in a good debate or solving puzzles or other mental challenges, you may encounter hostility in others.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   
  Additionally - Low energy, suspicion, deceit, lies, and scandal - are in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. It is normal to feel weak and discouraged under this confusing influence. Guilt is also possible and you may recall hurting someone in the past. It is important not to let such negative feelings lead to self-defeat or even self-harm. Other possible scenarios come through relationships with others. There is a tendency to be suspicious and paranoid, jealous or vindictive. You must avoid the temptation to act against others due to such confused motivations.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 29th December:
  Intense love, whirlwind romance, and secret affairs - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio connecting with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. Companionship becomes more important as you feel a longing to share love with someone special. If single you may become obsessed with someone and not be able to get them out of your mind. Any new romance now would be a whirlwind experience and greatly change your life. An existing relationship can evolve to a more profound or spiritual level. With all relationships, whether love relationships or not, superficiality will not satisfy you.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 30th December.

• 30th December:
  Sweet Venus, that is joyful and adventurous in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• Best wishes for December 2023, as always! The overall monthly trends, along with relevant minor transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

Sun represents our concious mind - our will to live and our creative life force. It is the basis of our core personality, our style, our ego, our life purpose, and some might say, even our destiny. Sun's transit illuminates the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your focus along with it. It stays in each sign for barely a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 365.25 days.

• Sun, the luminary of self, continues to illuminate the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - until 22nd December. During this influence, you focus on intimacy, and seek to emphasize your personal and intimate matters, highlighting your willingness to explore life's secrets.
  + Show Details
  Till 22nd December, Sun transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  During this cycle, transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes are highlighted.
   
  As a result, this is not the most gregarious period for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
   
  All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual.
   
  This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
   
  This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents.
   
  On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
• From 23rd December onwards, Sun spotlights the sector of your solar chart that rules philosophies and far countries - for the rest of the month. During this influence, you focus on your outer world, and seek to sway yourself away from personal concerns, and shift your focus to turn outwards.
  + Show Details
  23rd December onwards, Sun transits your House IX: Travelling, and philosophies of life.
   
  During this cycle, you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines.
   
  You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore. It is an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective - a broader one - whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently.
   
  Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last few months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith.
   
  This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
   
  A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself.
   
  The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus represents two main areas of our life - love and money. It is the basis of our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life, our tastes, our pleasures, our artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy.

  For the entire period, Mars transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  You are more observant than active, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action!
   
  This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities.
   
  Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible.
   
  Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit, and there may be an increase in sexual appetite now.
   
  Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction.
   
  This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

• Welcome to December 2023, dear Taurus! The beginning of the month finds you forming alliances, including partners, or a significant other. You are analyzing deeper elements inside yourself and your intimate life, you are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships, and you are more observant than active - more strategic and deliberate. Watch out for ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money!
   
  Overall, you already have a challenging time with your occupation and public image. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your self-presentation and views. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life. These are long-term trends that are expounded in Yearly Horoscopes.
   
  Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate.

• 3rd December:
  Mighty Sun, that is adventurous and open-minded in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. For the next month or so, the Sun energizes this sector. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  Additionally - A profound effect on love life - is in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Libra clashing with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your routines and self-care.

• 9th December:
  Aggressive Mars, that is eager and limitless in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources.

• 12th December:
  New Moon in - arrives today at 11:32 PM, and lands on your social life and goals! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments.
   Networking, making contact, group activities, and income earned from business are in focus in this phase. With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. Heightened awareness of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus, is probable with this position of the New Moon, as well as a need for social security. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus this month.

• 14th December:
  Intense and sweet Venus in Scorpio opposes your personal Sun. This is a time when laziness and self-indulgence are more likely. You are simply not in any mood for hard work. You could be looking for an "easy way out". Delaying spending might be wise now. Relationships could prove expensive. You may find yourself at odds with someone you care about or someone in authority over a question of values. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you interact with now. Your ego may be a bit inflated right now. As long as you do not think with your ego, you could learn a whole lot about a person you love.
   
  And then - Sweet Venus, that is intense and committed in Scorpio, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your partnerships, ability to relate with others, and powers of negotiation. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  On this same day - Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fellow earth sign Capricorn, afflicting your intimate world and resources. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
   This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
   Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

If you already have a partner, then an unexpected event may cause a lot of upset tension - an affair at this time would more likely lead to a rapid separation. If single, then there are many options. If dating then, a new romance now would certainly be exciting. Whatever your situation, if love is not an option then change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible, but you should be extra careful with money.

• 27th December:
  Full Moon in - arrives today at 12:33 AM, and lands on your social life and goals! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments.
   You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasures, your hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now. You may be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture. For example, a friend may experience a little crisis and asks for your help. You may suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time.
   
  Moreover - High spirits, enthusiasm, and self-confidence - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. You should be feeling on top of the world and enjoy warm and friendly relationships with everyone. There may be a tendency to sit back and enjoy the happy vibe, but in doing so, you could miss cashing in on any big opportunities for growth. But who cares? Not you, not today!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 29th December.
   
  Furthermore - Confusion, and complications in discussions and business dealings - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. You really must avoid treachery and scandal - because even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 28th December.

• 28th December:
  Mental activity, and focused and acute thinking, as also arguments, losing your temper, and being unnecessarily rude or abusive - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius meeting aggressive Mars in Sagittarius - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Your piercing intellect can also be put to good use in arguing your case, and even defending others against harassment or provocation. Without using up this provocative energy in a good debate or solving puzzles or other mental challenges, you may encounter hostility in others.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   
  Furthermore - Low energy, suspicion, deceit, lies, and scandal - are in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. It is normal to feel weak and discouraged under this confusing influence. Guilt is also possible and you may recall hurting someone in the past. It is important not to let such negative feelings lead to self-defeat or even self-harm. Other possible scenarios come through relationships with others. There is a tendency to be suspicious and paranoid, jealous or vindictive. You must avoid the temptation to act against others due to such confused motivations.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 29th December:
  Intense love, whirlwind romance, and secret affairs - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio connecting with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. Companionship becomes more important as you feel a longing to share love with someone special. If single you may become obsessed with someone and not be able to get them out of your mind. Any new romance now would be a whirlwind experience and greatly change your life. An existing relationship can evolve to a more profound or spiritual level. With all relationships, whether love relationships or not, superficiality will not satisfy you.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 30th December.

• Best wishes for December 2023, as always! The overall monthly trends, along with relevant minor transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

Sun represents our concious mind - our will to live and our creative life force. It is the basis of our core personality, our style, our ego, our life purpose, and some might say, even our destiny. Sun's transit illuminates the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your focus along with it. It stays in each sign for barely a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 365.25 days.

• Sun, the luminary of self, continues to illuminate the sector of your solar chart that rules partnerships, relationships, and love - until 2nd December. During this influence, you focus on your significant other, and seek to harmonize your partnerships and relationships, highlighting a greater than usual desire to be with a partner.
  + Show Details
  Till 2nd December, Sun transits your House VII: Partnerships, relationships, and love.
   
  During this cycle, it is not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, a period in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
   
  At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other.
   
  You focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship.
   
  It is important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required.
   
  Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
• From 3rd December onwards, Sun spotlights the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - for the rest of the month. During this influence, you focus on intimacy, and seek to emphasize your personal and intimate matters, highlighting your willingness to explore life's secrets.
  + Show Details
  3rd December onwards, Sun transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  During this cycle, transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes are highlighted.
   
  As a result, this is not the most gregarious period for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
   
  All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual.
   
  This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
   
  This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents.
   
  On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus represents two main areas of our life - love and money. It is the basis of our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life, our tastes, our pleasures, our artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy. Venus' transit graces the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your sensations and experiences along with it. It stays in each sign for less than a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 225 days.

• Venus, the planet of luxury, continues to grace the sector of your solar chart that rules health, work, and routine tasks - until 13th December. This influence brings more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with, making your talents or skills especially appreciated.
  + Show Details
  Till 13th December, Venus transits your House VI: Health, work, and routine tasks.
   
  This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you!
   
  Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now.
   
  Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers - and likely to bring diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle - your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so!
   
  You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated.
   
  You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job.
   
  Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
• From 14th December onwards, Venus boosts the sector of your solar chart that rules partnerships, relationships, and love - for the rest of the month. This influence inclines you to flatter and charm others, paving for meaningful and harmonious relationships on both social and romantic levels.
  + Show Details
  14th December onwards, Venus transits your House VII: Partnerships, relationships, and love.
   
  This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person!
   
  You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage!
   
  Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It is not about you right now - it is about someone else close.
   
  One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship.
   
  Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time.
   
  In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections - very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury represents our day-to-day expression and communication. It is the basis of the way we think, the way we connect with others, and the way we communicate with others - decidedly unemotional and curious. Mercury's transit intellectualizes the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your thought-process along with it. It stays in each sign for almost a week (except when retrograde), as it covers the entire zodiac in 88 days.

• Mercury, the planet of interactions, continues to focus on the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - for the entire month. This influence makes you more intuitive than usual now, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you.
  + Show Details
  For the entire period, Mercury transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines!
   
  The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. Research is also highly favoured. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic.
   
  As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances. You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle.
   
  This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
   
  Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
   
  You have little interest in small talk now.
• However, from 14th December to 31st December, when Mercury is retrograde (backward-moving), you may misadvanture or miscommunicate, and may be thinking backwards - especially in matters of joint finances, and intimacy.

Mars represents our energy, action, and sexual desire. It is the basis of our spontaneous reaction to act, and our survival instincts - the animal instincts for aggression, anger, and survival. Mars' transit asserts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your natural desire along with it. It stays in each sign for almost two months, as it covers the entire zodiac in 1,9 years.

• Mars, the planet of vitality, continues to energize the sector of your solar chart that rules partnerships, relationships, and love - until 8th December. This influence enlivens your close personal relationships, surfacing unresolved issues that need tending.
  + Show Details
  Till 8th December, Mars transits your House VII: Partnerships, relationships, and love.
   
  Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging!
   
  Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle - full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.
   
  During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle.
   
  Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly. Use the extra energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems.
   
  There can also be competitiveness in your life now.
• From 9th December onwards, Mars empowers the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - for the rest of the month. This influence stimulates your sexuality and intimacy, making you more strategic and deliberate in taking actions.
  + Show Details
  9th December onwards, Mars transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  You are more observant than active, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action!
   
  This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities.
   
  Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible.
   
  Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit, and there may be an increase in sexual appetite now.
   
  Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction.
   
  This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

• Welcome to December 2023, dear Taurus! The beginning of the month finds you forming alliances, including partners, or a significant other. You are analyzing deeper elements inside yourself and your intimate life, you are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships, and you are more observant than active - more strategic and deliberate. Watch out for ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money!
   
  Overall, you already have a challenging time with your occupation and public image. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your self-presentation and views. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life. These are long-term trends that are expounded in Yearly Horoscopes.
   
  Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate. The dates and events may vary from individual to individual - as a glance at the observations for different decans would reveal. For more appropriate observations, he needs your date of birth.

• 11th December:
  Retrograde Uranus in Taurus meets your personal Sun. This is a time of "finding yourself", when you begin to feel uncomfortable with your current life path and behavior patterns. Your ego is awakened, and you feel compelled to express yourself in unique and perhaps unusual or unconventional ways. With your increased openness to all that is new and different, you may encounter opportunities that appear to come out of the blue. Routine begins to bore you, and your current responsibilities may seem overwhelming. Your consciousness expands to the point where you are receptive to new ways of thinking and patterns of living. Especially if you are female, you may begin a relationship with a male, and this association leads you into undiscovered territory or some kind of break from your past. This can be an exciting period of your life that is filled with change and stimulation.
   
  And then - Retrograde Uranus in Taurus, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life. Uranus re-visits this sector of your life. Although there is drastic change, there is less chaos - probably because the change is internal, in your mindset related to your private world and psyche. Previously, you might have sought greater personal freedom, or anticipated a major change in your life, or tried to initiate change - but nothing has happened. Now, is the time to process things internally before you manifest the external change once this period is over. This period will induce the internal changes in attitude or behaviours, which are necessary to make the desired change possible. It is also possible that you might have been disruptive and rebellious, trying to force radical change. Whether your revolution was based on ignorance or the innocence of youth, this period will bring higher self-awareness and insights about the error of your ways.
   As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 12th December:
  New Moon in - arrives today at 11:32 PM, and lands on your social life and goals! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments.
   Networking, making contact, group activities, and income earned from business are in focus in this phase. With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. Heightened awareness of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus, is probable with this position of the New Moon, as well as a need for social security. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus this month.

• 13th December:
  Mighty Sun, that is adventurous and open-minded in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. For the next month or so, the Sun energizes this sector. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 14th December:
  Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fellow earth sign Capricorn, afflicting your intimate world and resources. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
   This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
   Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 16th December:
  Dishonesty, deception, confusion and disappointment, as also demotivation or lack of enthusiasm or even susceptibility to psychological and health issues - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Do not get disheartened on this day, as it is normal under this influence to feel insecure, guilty and apologetic - and please do not make any firm decisions on this day!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 18th December.

  Change in love life and drama in relationships - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your routines and self-care. If you already have a partner, then an unexpected event may cause a lot of upset tension - an affair at this time would more likely lead to a rapid separation. If single, then there are many options. If dating then, a new romance now would certainly be exciting. Whatever your situation, if love is not an option then change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible, but you should be extra careful with money.

• 22nd December:
  Intense and sweet Venus in Scorpio opposes your personal Sun. This is a time when laziness and self-indulgence are more likely. You are simply not in any mood for hard work. You could be looking for an "easy way out". Delaying spending might be wise now. Relationships could prove expensive. You may find yourself at odds with someone you care about or someone in authority over a question of values. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you interact with now. Your ego may be a bit inflated right now. As long as you do not think with your ego, you could learn a whole lot about a person you love.
   
  And then - Sweet Venus, that is intense and committed in Scorpio, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your partnerships, ability to relate with others, and powers of negotiation. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction.

• 27th December:
  Full Moon in - arrives today at 12:33 AM, and lands on your social life and goals! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments.
   You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasures, your hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now. You may be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture. For example, a friend may experience a little crisis and asks for your help. You may suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time.
   
  Moreover - High spirits, enthusiasm, and self-confidence - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. You should be feeling on top of the world and enjoy warm and friendly relationships with everyone. There may be a tendency to sit back and enjoy the happy vibe, but in doing so, you could miss cashing in on any big opportunities for growth. But who cares? Not you, not today!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 29th December.
   
  Furthermore - Confusion, and complications in discussions and business dealings - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. You really must avoid treachery and scandal - because even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 28th December.

  Mental activity, and focused and acute thinking, as also arguments, losing your temper, and being unnecessarily rude or abusive - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius meeting aggressive Mars in Sagittarius - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources. Your piercing intellect can also be put to good use in arguing your case, and even defending others against harassment or provocation. Without using up this provocative energy in a good debate or solving puzzles or other mental challenges, you may encounter hostility in others.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   
  Additionally - Low energy, suspicion, deceit, lies, and scandal - are in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your intimate world and resources.

It is important not to let such negative feelings lead to self-defeat or even self-harm. Other possible scenarios come through relationships with others. There is a tendency to be suspicious and paranoid, jealous or vindictive. You must avoid the temptation to act against others due to such confused motivations.

• 29th December:
  Intense love, whirlwind romance, and secret affairs - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio connecting with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your relationships and dealings. Companionship becomes more important as you feel a longing to share love with someone special. If single you may become obsessed with someone and not be able to get them out of your mind. Any new romance now would be a whirlwind experience and greatly change your life. An existing relationship can evolve to a more profound or spiritual level. With all relationships, whether love relationships or not, superficiality will not satisfy you.

• Best wishes for December 2023, as always! The overall monthly trends, along with relevant minor transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

Sun represents our concious mind - our will to live and our creative life force. It is the basis of our core personality, our style, our ego, our life purpose, and some might say, even our destiny. Sun's transit illuminates the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your focus along with it. It stays in each sign for barely a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 365.25 days.

• Sun, the luminary of self, continues to illuminate the sector of your solar chart that rules partnerships, relationships, and love - until 12th December. During this influence, you focus on your significant other, and seek to harmonize your partnerships and relationships, highlighting a greater than usual desire to be with a partner.
  + Show Details
  Till 12th December, Sun transits your House VII: Partnerships, relationships, and love.
   
  During this cycle, it is not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, a period in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
   
  At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other.
   
  You focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship.
   
  It is important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required.
   
  Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
• From 13th December onwards, Sun spotlights the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - for the rest of the month. During this influence, you focus on intimacy, and seek to emphasize your personal and intimate matters, highlighting your willingness to explore life's secrets.
  + Show Details
  13th December onwards, Sun transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  During this cycle, transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes are highlighted.
   
  As a result, this is not the most gregarious period for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
   
  All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual.
   
  This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
   
  This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents.
   
  On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus represents two main areas of our life - love and money. It is the basis of our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life, our tastes, our pleasures, our artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy. Venus' transit graces the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your sensations and experiences along with it. It stays in each sign for less than a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 225 days.

  Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now.

You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers - and likely to bring diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now.

  You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated.

  Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time.
   
  In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections - very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury represents our day-to-day expression and communication. It is the basis of the way we think, the way we connect with others, and the way we communicate with others - decidedly unemotional and curious. Mercury's transit intellectualizes the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your thought-process along with it. It stays in each sign for almost a week (except when retrograde), as it covers the entire zodiac in 88 days.

• Mercury, the planet of interactions, continues to focus on the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - for the entire month. This influence makes you more intuitive than usual now, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you.
  + Show Details
  For the entire period, Mercury transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines!
   
  The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. Research is also highly favoured. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic.
   
  As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances. You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle.
   
  This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
   
  Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
   
  You have little interest in small talk now.
• However, from 14th December to 31st December, when Mercury is retrograde (backward-moving), you may misadvanture or miscommunicate, and may be thinking backwards - especially in matters of joint finances, and intimacy.

Mars represents our energy, action, and sexual desire. It is the basis of our spontaneous reaction to act, and our survival instincts - the animal instincts for aggression, anger, and survival. Mars' transit asserts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your natural desire along with it. It stays in each sign for almost two months, as it covers the entire zodiac in 1,9 years.

• Mars, the planet of vitality, continues to energize the sector of your solar chart that rules partnerships, relationships, and love - until 22nd December. This influence enlivens your close personal relationships, surfacing unresolved issues that need tending.
  + Show Details
  Till 22nd December, Mars transits your House VII: Partnerships, relationships, and love.
   
  Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging!
   
  Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle - full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.
   
  During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle.
   
  Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly. Use the extra energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems.
   
  There can also be competitiveness in your life now.
• From 23rd December onwards, Mars empowers the sector of your solar chart that rules joint finances, intimacy, and transformation - for the rest of the month. This influence stimulates your sexuality and intimacy, making you more strategic and deliberate in taking actions.
  + Show Details
  23rd December onwards, Mars transits your House VIII: Joint finances, intimacy, and transformation.
   
  You are more observant than active, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action!
   
  This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities.
   
  Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible.
   
  Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit, and there may be an increase in sexual appetite now.
   
  Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction.
   
  This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
