Taurus Monthly Horoscope

The fun times really begin on December 21 (Mercury retrograde be damned), when the Sun starts its monthlong foray through Capricorn, lighting up your ninth house of inspiration and adventure. Emerge from the intense bubble of Sagittarius season and reconnect with the wider world. Even if you have to force yourself to lighten up a little, get out of that cave and play. 

Soon enough, you should be in the mood for lively conversations, mixing and mingling, and dreaming up inspired plans for 2024. With travel emphasized by the ninth house, you could start researching a few destinations. Follow an eco-travel account and get on the waitlist for a metaphysical retreat by the sea. Set your fare alerts or install an app like Hopper to get pinged when ticket prices drop for a dream destination. 

Whether your Christmas was cheery or teary, things are looking up as the calendar counts down. On December 26, the Cancer full moon arrives, igniting your third house of communication and kindred spirits. Not only will you be filled with grand visions, but you'll be eager to talk about them. These moonbeams should bring plenty of like-minded people your way, and since this lunation is lighting up your third house of local affairs, you won't need to go far to find them!

This is the second Cancer full moon of 2023, so look back to the first one on January 6. What were you talking and thinking about then, and planning for the year ahead? You may find some important links between these bookending new moons, perhaps an idea to revisit as you move into 2024.
