Your Weekly Horoscope Says Christmas Is Looking Extra Naughty This Year

Your horoscope for the week of December 22 to 28 brings a lot of intensity just in time for the holidays. If you’re expecting the vibes to be immaculate, you’ve got another thing coming. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of joy and excitement to go around; you just need to remember how to appreciate it.

Christmas Eve brings the culmination of Jupiter in Gemini’s square to Saturn in Pisces. On December 24, the Great Benefic and the Great Malefic will clash at 14 degrees, which could leave you feeling frustrated and up against more than you bargained for. You may be bursting at the seams with ideas, but actually bringing them to fruition will be harder than you were anticipating. Still, that doesn’t mean this frustration won’t lead to a diamond in the rough. Christmas Day sees the moon moving through Scorpio, where the moon is considered to be in “detriment.” A Scorpio moon can bring passion and intensity, but also distrust. Try to lean into vulnerability and intimacy during the holiday season, as turning away from it will only hurt more than embracing it.

Once Christmas is over, there may be some highs and lows. As Mercury in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter in Gemini on December 26, you could feel filled with potential and ready to take on the world. However, all that hope and optimism could become clouded by reality by December 27, when Mercury slams into a square with Saturn in Pisces. You may feel like you’re up against a lot, but staying true to yourself and having grit will prove that you deserve all the rewards.

Relationship shakeups could arrive by December 28, when Venus in Aquarius squares off with Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is the planet of sudden changes and rebellions while Venus is the planet of love and money, mixing a cocktail of frenetic and unpredictable energy. A desire for freedom and independence could lead to unexpected developments.
