Weekly Horoscope: December 8-December 15, Step Into the Vortex of the Past

We are deeply immersed in a vortex of the past from now until mid-May 2025.

We spend the vast majority of our time looking forward. Slowing down, waiting and reflecting aren’t a part of our present culture, as we’re constantly reminded to move on, chase that goal and look for the next thing.

While the heavens above can often reflect this same vision, with the stars and planets moving onward into new territory, the sky also has wisdom for us, too. During these periods, it’s best to take a moment to reflect on what got us here and reconnect with who we used to be.

Sometimes this involves reuniting with people, projects, plans and possibilities we have left behind before. If they still hold value, we can appreciate them once again and reintegrate them into our present and future.

It’s important that you make sure to consider all of this now. You will face it in the many months to come.

Read on for what the cosmos have in store for your zodiac sign this week!

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

You could be feeling a great deal of whiplash at this time, Aries. It likely felt that you were on a mission charging forth — and then suddenly, you hit a wall.

In recent weeks you’ve likely felt there was a surge of passion in your life, as you were able to prioritize romance, pleasure, creativity, hobbies and joy. However, beginning this week, you could find that it’s a bit harder to make time for them.

Whether casually dating or deeply connecting with a sweetheart, may find that your new lover is acting differently, your many options are drying up or that there’s even tension bubbling beneath the seams.

Exes, old flames, and past hookups could even be crossing your path now and in the weeks ahead — so if you’d like to give it another go, the universe is opening the door for you.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

Your emotions have been especially fired up, Taurus.

You’ve been feeling extra feisty and extra sensitive. Suddenly, though, the emotional situations from recent weeks could be at a turning point where you must review what’s happened and how some of it couldn’t be swept under the rug.

On a separate note, it’s also quite possible that you have been especially busy regarding home, family, real estate, or your domestic life — and while there was certainly a lot of progress and potentially even hectic energy, suddenly there’s a need for more changes.

For instance, if you’ve been polishing off a renovation, you may find that even more work needs to be done or that it was faulty. If you’ve been in the midst of a move, you may find that hiccups are popping up or delays in making it happen.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

You likely felt like the pace of life was moving and grooving, Gemini. Suddenly, though, it’s like the wind in your sails has vanished.

The stillness could even be making you feel a little anxious. It’s not your fault as the universe is just encouraging you to slow down and revise your plans.

Some of you may have been deeply engrossed in communications projects like a proposal for a VIP, a contract negotiation, the launch of an endeavor or travel. Yet, there may be snags cropping up at every turn.

The key now is not to stomp your feet and curse the sky but instead to practice patience and use this time to triple-check all your ideas and logistics while you can.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

There’s been a hole burning in your wallet in recent weeks, Cancer, and it might become even more noticeable. This is your sign from the universe to do everything possible to hit the brakes on your spending and truly assess where all your cash is going.

While you can be especially giving, now is not the time to make major purchases that you aren’t going to pay off in one fell swoop. If you can, this is a time when you should be saving rather than churning through everything you’ve built.

Meanwhile, the present cosmic flow could instead have you returning to an old job or stream of income from the past. If you can dig it up and make it happen, it could be quite rewarding!

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)

You’ve felt like you can channel lightning, Leo! With a celestial crown of fire atop your head, you’ve been able to command like the royalty you are.

Not only have you had more energy, courage and magnetism, but you’ve likely been calling the shots and watching people bow at your feet. This week, though, could feel like you’ve been tripped by the universe.

Now and in the weeks ahead, you’ll be experiencing karmic lessons on how you fight for what you believe. Situations and people from the past could be emerging again like ghosts in the night.

On a positive note, if you’d like to find closure with anything, you could do so now. If you’d like to reconnect with anyone, the stars are also in your favor.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

You’re the one who always has a list of everything you want to tackle to get ahead, Virgo. In recent weeks, you’ve likely been busy working in solitude behind the scenes to do just that.

However, this week it could feel like you’re staring at your calendar and you just don’t know where to begin. In fact, you may feel so mentally and physically exhausted that it’s hard to get a move on it. The universe is whispering to you to lie low and appreciate stillness at this time because if you don’t, you could burn yourself out even worse and end up regretting it down the line.

On a separate note, karmic situations from the past could be on your mind and people (or your anxiety) could be coming back with pitchforks and torches till you atone for them again.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Your calendar has been jam-packed with exciting events in recent weeks, Libra, so much so that you were wondering how you could fit everyone in!

You love it when life has you juggling all your different friendships, especially because it keeps life flirty, fun and interesting. However, some tension in your social life could be cropping up now perhaps connected to a situation that popped up in recent weeks.

At first, you likely thought that it could be swept under the rug as you shake it off, but someone is still quite agitated. The best thing to do now is to attempt to damage control rather than stirring the pot further.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

In recent weeks, Scorpio, you’ve likely felt like the royal powerhouse of the universe. Career momentum was building rapidly.

Perhaps, you’ve seen it in the form of a promotion, new job offer, award or simply praise from authority figures — and you felt that you couldn’t be touched! Your confidence was sizzling and soaring and you kept your eyes on the prize.

However, it could feel like this week the train has run off the tracks and either you’re being required to revisit professional situations that need to be fixed or reviewed or even all your momentum seems to have stalled into stillness.

The best thing to do is to not rage and charge into battle as you demand everything to get back on track but instead to recognize that the universe is giving you an opportunity to fine-tune your plans, work through any snags, and find a better path forward instead.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

You’ve been racing forward with open arms in recent weeks, Sagittarius, as if you were ready to grow angel wings and soar off a cliff into the horizon.

Your confidence was sizzling as you felt nothing could bring you down or tame you. Yet, like the archetype of the man who built wings with wax and flew too close to the sun, you may now feel like you’re spinning and not sure how to pick up the pieces before you crash and burn.

Instead, use this time to think outside of the box and find solutions to everything you have going on rather than stressing about what you can and cannot control.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

In recent weeks, Capricorn, you’ve felt a deep need to understand where you stand in significant relationships… and likely one of them has been captivating your mind. There’s an assessment of what you give and take and if there is equality in the union.

On a different wavelength, you could be feeling the urge to merge, either in finances or intimacy, yet the energy could feel as if you’ve hit a wall and no one is budging. Another area to consider at this time is any big expenses you may have been planning.

It may actually be best to push them back if you can. Large money issues could cause some challenges at this time, so try to pull back the reins.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Significant relationships have been a major issue in recent weeks, Aquarius, whether personally or professionally. However, despite a deep focus on either tag teaming projects and building plans, something could hit a major roadblock at this time.

For instance, you could find that you and your partner are not on the same page and instead, you need to slow your plans down and problem-solve other solutions. Some could instead be feeling that enemies or competitors are emerging and they’re being forced to fight back or stand their ground.

If none of these are immediately apparent, you may instead be reconnecting with significant partners from the past. If there is anyone who you’d like to rekindle a rapport with, do so now.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Life certainly has a million things to focus on at this time, Pisces. You have an endless list of priorities, responsibilities and projects.

In recent weeks, you likely felt that you could crush anything that stood before you, as you were like the Energizer Bunny. Yet, suddenly, it could feel as if everything you had on your docket needs revisions or is facing delays.

While productivity was the plan, it may be wise to hold back and see if you can review your progress to fine-tune your path forward. On a separate note, your physical health could need an extra bit of attention, so if anything is popping up, focus on it now.
