The Cosmic Connection
Rising sign horoscopes for Dec. 18 – 23
♈ Aries: The word of your week is journeying. Whether a new course, the itch to teach, travel, or publish something, the ultimate manifestation attunes you more deeply to your soul.
♉ Taurus: Are you a good sharer, Taurus? Consider the things deeper than surface-level. Take a leap, let your guard down, and create a cohesion that will sup-port a dream, goal, or aspiration.
♊ Gemini: Your closest relationships are calling your attention. En-ergetic matches reciprocate your generosity, enthusiasm, and free spirit. With whom does this ring true or fall short?
♋ Cancer: It may be time for a new routine or goal to improve your health and wellness. Something that challenges the status quo and enhances your vitality could be the best fit.
♌ Leo: Your muse is beckoning you, Leo. Have fun playing with that creative spark, new insights, and ideas. This time around, something that’s of a more collabo-rative endeavor holds potential.
♍ Virgo: Another new cycle of tending to your roots is upon you. Stay true to your heart’s desire, especially through any challenges or confusion stemming from those you hold dear.
♎ Libra: Your word this week is dialogue. This includes inner dia-logue, outer dialogue, written dialogue, non-verbal dialogue, and most importantly, listening. Remember the power of your thoughts, words, and impact on health.
♏ Scorpio: What does wealth truly mean to you, Scorpio? Consider how freedom is or is not part of your perspective, and how your time, pleasure, and confidence could be greater assets.
♐ Sagittarius: A clean slate is incoming! Aiming higher, being bet-ter, and achieving self-improvement are all great incentives. Have fun with your goals and feel more at home within.
♑ Capricorn: Think about that which makes you feel off-center. Practices and disciplines that quiet the mind and reduce overstimulation can be beneficial to your health and well-being.
♒ Aquarius: What do you contribute to your community? Size doesn’t matter when it comes to benevolence. Acts of kindness uplift your spirit along with the spirits of those around you.
♓ Pisces: There’s great potential in setting powerful intentions around the kind of work you truly want to do in the world. That which instills a healthy dose of fear is the path to pursue.
Weekly astrology summary:
Aim for the stars as an eventful cosmic week kicks off with the Sagittarius new moon on Friday, Dec. 19, at 8:43 p.m. The final new moon of 2025 features an abundance of Sagittarius spirit with the sun, moon, Venus, and Mercury all cozying up around the enthusiastic fire. Goals will be set, aspirations will be shared, dreams will be envisioned, and what’s on our minds and hearts will be hopeful, and maybe a little embellished. Grandeur is acceptable as the new moon includes challenges from both stern Saturn and the great illusionist, Neptune. Hold your intentions unwa-veringly deep within you, especially in the face of any confusion or impedances. The growth point through the energies is unstoppable faith.
Capricorn season and the winter solstice arrive on Dec. 21 with the sun’s advance into the sign of the sea goat. Remember your inner light and untapped inner magic at this time, and all the persis-tence skills you’ve gained throughout this wily, unpredictable year.
