December feels soul-searching, spacious, and boundless. The Sun traverses the bold skies of Sagittarius (November 21–December 20, 2024). Sagittarius is the freedom-loving adventurer of the zodiac. Sagittarius is the eternal optimist, always believing that something better is just around the corner. Dream big and embrace an optimistic outlook for the future. Focus on your vision, while maintaining faith that your dreams are within reach.
We are in the midst of a season of exploration, growth, and expansion. But, there’s a twist: Mercury is retrograde. Explore a lighthearted, learn-as-you-go attitude toward life. Stay flexible. Avoid over-planning or becoming too attached to a specific outcome.
While exciting opportunities are emerging, rushing into them is unnecessary. Embrace the journey steadily, taking the time to fully experience and enjoy each step rather than hurrying toward the next. Patience is key as you navigate the adventure ahead of you.
Clarity arrives on December 15th, with a potent Full Moon in Gemini coinciding with Mercury stationing direct. Open yourself up to uncertainty. Something great is coming your way. You know where you’re generally headed without knowing the how. That’s the best part—discovering the how.
