Pisces Horoscope for December 2024

This is an interesting December month for you, Pisces, one of introspection and of trying to get things right in terms of career and profession, regarding the application of your beliefs and fundamental values to your outer world presence. You have an introspective time going as well, with Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius from late last month, corresponding to your career sector. You could find yourself thinking and rethinking your vocational arrangements all through the month. Mars, too, retrogrades in Leo on the 6th, having moved along very slowly up until that moment, which could relate to looking into your habitual patterns and characteristic health regimens with the potential outcome of some changes there. The First Quarter Moon in your sign of the 8th and the Gemini Full Moon of the 15th punctuate the month with increased focus on your work in the world and your determination to allow only your own deep-seated principles and values to guide you. With Pluto highlighted in early Aquarius – your sector of unconscious process and dream imagination – you are more sensitive to everything that is going on beneath the surface layers of your psyche, especially after the 21st. The December 21st Capricorn Solstice features your social sector implying the importance of friendships and community as well as goal orientation for you as you continue to make sense out of the career choices that will see you through to the 2025 year.
