Weekly horoscope: 2 astrologers' predictions for 25 December - 31 December 2023

"December brings a dynamic mix for you of fiery ambition and career success, but also a feeling of restlessness in your relationships. Embrace assertiveness with harmony as the year closes."

"Make sure you have some tissues handy. This is a week full of romance and nostalgia. It’s also a week when you’ll need a plan B, especially when you’re travelling."

"This month unfolds with a focus on finance. Navigate this by budgeting and planning your financial goals for the new year. Venus brings harmony and possibly new love for singles."

"Magical is one way of describing these stars, confusing might be another. Not everything is as crystal clear, but those misty moments are to die for. Heaven on a plate."

"The Full Moon in your sign last month sets the scene for December, heralding social excitement for you and the opportunity to network more. Try to balance work with play. "

"You’ll be better off staying put and enjoying the comforts of home. However, if you are heading away, then expect some delays and diversions. It’s not personal; it’s retrograde Mercury."

"It’s a time of great emotional growth. With the Full Moon in your sign late December, family bonds strengthen, but Mercury Retrograde could bring communication challenges. Focus on self care."

"On Wednesday, the full moon in your sign really empowers you. So, do take note and obey your instincts, especially if they involve bearing olive branches and burying any hatchets."

"Career and ambitions are on your mind. Thankfully, success is on the horizon, so keep the faith, communicate clearly and use that fabulous creative talent of yours to attract opportunities."

"If the astrology were the weather, you’d need fog lights. Missed messages and mixed signals are par for the course, but if you’re ready to be romanced, it’s game on."

"It is time to go within and seek higher wisdom to expand your horizons. Mercury retrograde could disrupt travel or learning plans, but with adaptability and patience there’ll be growth."

"Virgos can be divided into two camps: those who are having the best of times and those who are feeling let down and unappreciated. Christmas comes but once a year."

"The spotlight is on your relationships this month. With Mercury retrograde potentially stirring up some misunderstandings, clear communication is key for resolving all and any conflicts, along with compromise. Breathe."

"A gathering of the clans could turn out very differently from your expectations. Rifts can absolutely be resolved, but there is also a slight risk of fresh misunderstandings. Stay connected."

"You’re feeling empowered to transform and heal yourself. Embrace your intuition and inner strength. If you're concerned about finances focus on what you have, not what you want more of."

"Journeys often make for the memory book. A holiday romance for some, a trip with unexpected diversions for others, but, in general, it’s a time to go with the flow."

"With the Sun in Sagittarius part of December, you’ll feel adventurous and optimistic. This is great for travel and learning. Be spontaneous and adaptable to make the most of it."

"You can still be the life of the party without losing sight of reality. Get everything in writing, don’t busk it. Better to go slowly and land on your feet."

"The focus is on your career goals now. Mercury retrograde may bring back an old work contact with a new opportunity, so embrace this gift and move forward with confidence."

"Wednesday’s full moon brings some simmering feelings to the surface. While it can be good to know how people feel, remind yourself that things look different in the morning light."

"This is a particularly sociable month for you. Connect with friends and like-minded people and embrace your unique ideas and new values, which are emerging, for a more fulfilling month."

"There’s a lot to be said for leaving a delicate matter to gently percolate. Do what must be done for now, celebrate New Year, then address it on 8 January."

"This is a creative and emotionally uplifting month. Dive into artistic pursuits and nurture spiritual connections for a different level of self-awareness and direction in terms of career and business."

"Things aren’t as clear as they might be, so don’t be pushed into doing anything you’re unsure about. That said, if you are sure of your feelings, what’s stopping you?"
