December 2024 monthly horoscopes for all astrological signs

The Midst horoscopes are written exclusively for The Midst readers by astrologer, psychic medium, and divine feminine educator, Mandy Wilde, aka, Wilde Medium.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

December is asking you, my fiery rams, to step up and say what’s been on your mind. If there’s a conversation you’ve been putting off because it feels awkward or heavy, it might come to the surface whether you’re ready for it or not. And honestly, that’s not such a bad thing. Sometimes we spend so much time avoiding the hard stuff that we don’t realize just how much energy it’s taking to keep it all in. This could be with work, relationships, or even something personal, but whatever it is, it’s time to say what you’re thinking. 

That said, speaking up doesn’t have to mean confrontation either. It’s more about being clear, honest, and true to yourself. Sure, it might feel uncomfortable in the moment, but once it’s out there, you’ll feel this huge weight lifted. And, I know you’ve been carrying it long enough, haven’t you?

This month also has a lot of creative energy around you. Don’t be surprised if you’re hit with inspiration out of nowhere. It might come through in problem-solving, brainstorming big ideas, or even rediscovering an old hobby that used to light you up. Pay attention to those little sparks because they’re trying to guide you somewhere. The key is to give yourself room to explore without overthinking it. It doesn’t have to be meaningful to anyone else but you.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You’ve been carrying so much lately, and honestly, it’s no wonder you’re feeling a little stretched thin. This month is like a gentle nudge to slow down and take a good, hard look at everything you’re juggling. This month, ask yourself, “Where’s your time going? Your energy? Your money? Are they all flowing into things that actually matter to you? Or are you stuck in routines that feel more like a drain than a joy?”

It’s so easy to get caught up in doing things just because we’ve always done them or because we feel like we have to. But the thing is, you don’t have to do it all. This month, give yourself permission to say no to things that aren’t serving you anymore. Look closer at what habits don’t make you feel good, because now’s the time to set them down.

Instead, think about what really lights you up. What gives you that little spark of happiness? Maybe it’s something as simple as curling up with a good book or getting outside for a long walk. It could be spending time with people who genuinely lift your spirits or picking up a hobby you’ve been neglecting. Whatever it is, make space for it. Just a few small shifts can make a big difference!

It’s like clearing clutter from a room: suddenly, there’s space to breathe, move, and focus on what truly matters. This month is your chance to realign with what feels right for you. Allow yourself to prioritize you for a change. You’ve earned it!

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

This month, it’s like you’ve got this invisible spotlight following you around, and people can’t help but notice. Maybe you’re getting extra compliments, people are laughing a little harder at your jokes, or you’re just turning heads while running errands. Whatever it is, you’re giving main character energy, and people are paying attention.

Now is the time to ask yourself “How do you want to show up? Are you feeling like yourself, or have you been coasting along in habits that don’t totally vibe with who you are right now?” It’s your moment to check in and tweak things if they’re feeling off. 

While everyone’s eyes are on you, the takeaway is that it’s not about putting on a show or pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about leaning into what makes you feel good and letting that shine through. When you feel good, it’s contagious, and everyone around you feels it, too.

So put yourself out there, own your space, and have some fun with it. This is your time to shine, and you don’t need anyone’s permission to light up the room.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

This month, you’re feeling the pull to just pause and honestly, it’s about time, Cancer. Life has been loud lately, and you’ve been in the thick of it, handling everything like the pro you are. But now it’s time to hit the brakes a little. I know we’re in the middle of the holidays but your body and mind are asking for you to pull back from the constant buzz of obligations, and endless to-do lists. Try to give yourself a breather without feeling guilty about it.

Allow yourself space to just be, and you’ll notice those things you may have forgotten about, come to the surface. Maybe it’s a goal you’ve been putting off, a creative idea you haven’t had time to explore, or even a little itch to start something new. Don’t overthink it, just trust your gut and you’ll be good. This isn’t about rebuilding your life overnight, but more like really tapping into yourself and figuring out what feels right.

Use this time to reflect and plan without any pressure to act right away. Simply sitting with your thoughts while sipping coffee counts as productive. If you feel like curling up with a favorite book or binge-watching a show, go for it. Whatever helps you recharge, lean into it.

By the end of the month, you’ll start feeling clearer about what’s next. It’s like all the puzzle pieces you’ve been juggling will finally start to click into place. No rush, no pressure, just a little more focus and a lot more confidence about where you’re heading. So go ahead, give yourself the quiet time you’ve been craving. You’ve earned it, and you’ll be so glad you did.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

This month, you’re the queen bee, and everyone wants a piece of you. Your calendar’s probably filling up fast, but remember, you don’t have to say yes to everything. Stick to the plans that make you genuinely excited. It’s a good time to reach out to old friends, too — those people you’ve been meaning to catch up with. A random coffee date might turn into a conversation that reminds you why you connected in the first place. 

Now, that all said, don’t forget to save some of that electricity for yourself. You don’t have to be “on” all the time. Even the brightest of stars need to recharge. Maybe carve out an evening to do something that fills you up, whether that’s soaking in a bath, cracking open a new book, or just hanging out with your pet.

Remember, when you feel good, everyone around you feels it too. So don’t stress about making every event or pleasing everyone. Your energy is what people are drawn to dear Leo, not how many appearances you make. Show up where it matters, and enjoy the love coming your way this month.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You’re gonna love December, Virgo, as it has you in full-on organizational mode. I know, it’s kind of your thing! You’re looking at goals, plans, and maybe even your junk drawer, asking, “Is this really worth my energy?” If you aren’t “feeling” something  anymore, you’re ready to make adjustments. This can look like a project, commitment, or even a mindset. 

But here’s the thing: this isn’t just about crossing stuff off your to-do list. It’s about getting super clear on what you actually want. Not what you think you’re supposed to want or what someone else expects of you. Ask yourself, what would genuinely make you feel successful, content, or even just at peace? Here’s a hint: it’s probably not the things that have you feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

This month is giving you the perfect excuse to pause and fine tune. If you’re unsure about the next steps, talk it out with someone you trust. Sometimes a fresh perspective can remind you of things you didn’t even realize were important. Or, if you’re more of a solo processor, write it down. Seeing your thoughts on paper might help you figure out what’s worth keeping and what’s ready to toss.

Don’t be afraid to let go of old plans or routines that feel stale and focus on what feels aligned with the person you are right now. By the end of the month, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and ready to tackle the new year with a sense of purpose that’s 100% yours.

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

You’ve probably been feeling a little restless, wondering what else is out there, and it’s not such a bad thing! If you’re dreaming about far-off places or just craving a change of scenery, now’s the time to scratch that itch. It doesn’t need to be a big, pricey trip either. Sometimes simply trying a new coffee shop or wandering through an unfamiliar part of town is all it takes to introduce new energy.

You could also channel your wanderlust into learning something new or getting creativity. Sign up for that class you’ve been eyeing. Even grabbing a book or listening to a podcast on a topic completely outside your norm could spark something interesting. It’s less about what you’re doing and more about giving yourself permission to shift your perspective.

You might also notice yourself rethinking the way you handle everyday life, like your routines, habits, or even your relationships. When this happens, remember that this isn’t about tearing everything down. It’s more like making it feel better, fresher, or more you. Maybe you’ll come across a new way to organize your time, approach a problem, or connect with the people around you.

This month about staying curious and open. Trust your instincts, follow your curiosity, and enjoy the ride.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 21)

This month, Scorpio, it’s all about releasing any emotional, mental, or even physical baggage you’ve been carrying around. Think of it as seasonal cleaning for your soul. I’m talking about an old grudge that’s been gnawing at you, a habit that no longer serves you, or even a connection that’s starting to feel more like a chore. You’ll be able to pinpoint it, and once you do, it’s time to let it go.

Heads up, it probably won’t be a super easy, one-and-done process. As a matter of fact, the “letting go” might stir up some uncomfortable emotions, and that’s okay. Give yourself the space to sit with those feelings, but don’t get stuck there. It’s not about ignoring what hurts; it’s about facing it, processing it, and then choosing to release it. 

Once you do, you might be surprised at how much lighter you feel! Old energy takes up room, so once you clear it out, you’ll have space for new opportunities, ideas, and people to come into your life. 

Take a deep breath in, and remember to be gentle with yourself. Don’t rush or force anything. Just take it step by step, and by the end of the month, you’ll be ready to step into the next chapter with a sense of freedom and clarity.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius, it’s all about relationships for you this month, which means you could find yourself asking if the people you deal with on the regular are lifting you up or dragging you down. If something feels off,  address it. Maybe it’s just a little miscommunication (which is an easy fix), or maybe it’s a deeper issue that’s been simmering for too long. Either way, talking it out will lift a weight off your shoulders. And hey, if a relationship is draining you dry? It’s okay to let it go. Not everything or everyone is meant to stick around forever.

But don’t just focus on the tough stuff. Double down on the people who truly get you — the ones who make you laugh, who show up, and add something good to your life. Pour your energy into those connections, and you’ll see them flourish. Invest in the ones who invest in you. It’s worth it.

Finally, when was the last time you checked in with yourself? If you’ve been running on fumes, take a breather. Do something that feels good for your soul. Self-care isn’t optional; it’s survival.

By the end of the month, you’ll know exactly who’s riding with you for the long haul. And spoiler alert: you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned because of it.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn, let’s start with a round of applause because you’ve been through it over the past 16 years. Pluto in your sign brought constant challenges, forcing you to transform and grow in ways you didn’t expect. But guess what? That heavy, relentless energy has finally lifted. You’re stepping into a new chapter, and it’s time to focus on what feels lighter, brighter, and more aligned with who you are now.

This month is perfect for refreshing your routines. Are your daily habits working for you, or are they just holding you together? It’s easy to get stuck on autopilot, but now’s the moment to shift gears. 

Try carving out a few minutes each day just for yourself. Indulge in quiet, uninterrupted time to center your mind. Maybe clear up your workspace to feel less overwhelmed. And since structure is your strong suit, refine your systems. Streamline where you can, delegate what feels heavy, and make your schedule work for you, not the other way around.

Remember, routines aren’t just about getting things done, they’re also about making space for joy. By the end of the month, you’ll feel more balanced and grounded. You’ve earned this fresh start.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius, with Pluto’s move into your sign, you could start to feel a spark under that inner fire of yours. That energy you’ve been holding back? It’s time to unleash it. No really, let it loose! Think about what makes you feel alive. Is it dancing like no one’s watching, or experimenting with something creative, or sharing hardy laughs with friends?

It’s no secret, that you’ve been carrying the weight of responsibility for a while, and now it’s time to shake that off. Joy doesn’t need to be practical or perfect. Allow yourself to be playful, and get a little messy where you can. Whether it’s picking up a random hobby or saying yes to a spontaneous idea, these moments will remind you how good it feels to live in the now.

We also need to address your irresistible magnetism; it’s there, so share it. Reach out to friends who match your vibe, plan something low-key, or have that party. The people in your life are drawn to this electric energy, and it’s the perfect time to reconnect and make new connections that uplift and inspire you.

By the end of the month, you’ll feel lighter and more aligned with your true self. So go ahead, and let yourself play. This energy isn’t just fun, it’s healing, and it’s all yours to own.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces, this month is all about finding your calm in the chaos, and it starts at home. You might suddenly feel like organizing your space, rearranging furniture, or adding something new to your surroundings. But your focus isn’t just on physical space; it’s also about the people you let into your inner world — family, close friends, or even the people who feel like family are likely to play a bigger role this month. Sure, not every connection is perfect, but the opportunity to deepen these bonds is real. It’s about finding that balance between giving and receiving support, and letting the people who matter know how much you care.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin emotionally, this is your sign to slow down and recharge. You don’t have to host the perfect gathering or have everything spotless to enjoy your space or your people. A chill movie night, a cup of tea with a friend, or even just a long phone call with someone you love can bring exactly the kind of connection you’re looking for.

And don’t forget to focus on yourself, too. Home isn’t just where you live, it’s also the sanctuary you build inside yourself. Think about what makes you feel safe and cared for. Is it journaling? Meditation? Taking a long bath with no interruptions? This is your moment to lean into those rituals that ground you and remind you who you are.

The little changes you make now are laying the foundation for a year that feels more peaceful and aligned with what you need. Let this month be about what feels like home to you, in every sense of the word.
