This Week's Horoscope Ushers In Capricorn Season As We Round Out 2024

Reflect before you project! Hazy Neptune in Pisces is at loggerheads with the Sagittarius sun this Hump Day, which could leave everyone in a swirl of sticky rumors and questionable data.

Finding that nugget of truth may take an entire search party...or is it you who's obscuring the facts? After you scour the surface for details, look inward. Out of self-protection, you may be muddying the waters with evasive maneuvers, elusive answers, and avoiding conversations that feel "difficult."

Unfortunately, these deflections will only arouse more suspicion. Brewing trust issues may be at play. Perhaps this is a red flag that you aren't as certain about someone as you thought.

Take a chance on romance! With ardent Venus in Aquarius teamed up with lucky Jupiter in Gemini, things could get surprisingly spicy under the mistletoe (or in the car, a cozy nook, or the middle of the dance floor).

Venus and Jupiter are known as the "benefics" for their positive and helpful influence. Among friends, goodwill and cheer flow freely. It's a perfect time to compliment or thank someone you care about—no strings attached.

Pause for the new-season cause. The shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere belongs to the longest-suffering sign of Capricorn, the tireless sea goat who persists against all odds!

On the winter solstice, we welcome the start of Capricorn season. For the next four weeks, take a pragmatic and humble approach to all you do. Goal-setter Capricorn loves an ambitious plan and a solid system. Write down where you'd like to be a year from now and reverse-engineer a master map that will get you there, one discerning step at a time.

Could someone in your life use a not-so-secret Santa? Capricorn is the provider sign, reminding us that 'tis better to give. (Fortunately, it's also ruled by boundary-hound Saturn, so generosity doesn't have to turn into a sacrifice.)

Look for ways you can pass on your expertise, like taking a greener relative or co-worker under your wing.
