Your weekly horoscope from Dec. 22-28 sheds light on the illusions in our lives.
Unfortunately, the holidays are making us want to transcend and be joyful, when we might just be feeling the exact opposite. However, we’ll put on a happy face to evade others from knowing the truth—appearances are everything. But don't lose sight of who you are and what you value, even if others try to intervene.
Below, explore your weekly horoscope for this last full week of December.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
You're running off into your secret world to avoid conflict with others. While you usually are confrontational and willing to assert yourself, you're not feeling as though it is worth the effort because many of your friends are gaslighting you. In true Capricorn form, you are going to focus on yourself and what's important to you, rather than the nonsense in your social sphere. Let them figure it out on their own time, without having you moderate, take sides, and be subject to their criticisms.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
A friend might ask for a loan. Be careful not to be taken advantage of by helping someone you care about, no matter how sincere and honest they may seem. They might have the intention of being honorable, but other issues will get in the way of their payback. If you feel sympathetic to their cause, then you should have a clear definition of your expectations and terms before giving them cash. It’ll be the best way to ensure the relationship doesn’t crumble over money.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You put so much faith in others; however, it's time you put it back into yourself. This is a week in which you can upgrade your life with positivity and optimism — only if you stop giving it out freely to others who are undeserving and pour it back into your life. The most significant and excellent flex you can have is confidence, and even if you're faking it to allude to others, people are naturally well-disposed to you because you are charismatic and charming.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
If you're out of town this week, you need to keep your belongings guarded and close. One false move and you could be wishing you were more mindful and careful. All the more reason for you not to leave your phone unattended and make sure you keep your receipts, so that you're not overcharged accidentally. As annoying as it is to do all of these things, you'll be grateful when you are not having to deal with putting the pieces back together again.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
The moment has come for you to set boundaries in relationships, although you aren't one to adhere to them necessarily. You're finding that it is essential because they are overstepping and trying to control you. You cannot handle others trying to take charge of your life by acting pushy, due to your stubborn nature, so you might have to keep your distance and space to let them know they're out of line. They need to stay in their lane and not swerve into yours.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Before you publicly post all the tea about your current relationship, consider sharing it with close friends — or second-guess whether it's worth sharing at all. The reason is that everyone will have a say and offer comments on how you should feel when you are in flux with your emotions. The other part is that everyone will be messy and talk about you, making you paranoid, as if they’re in the know about the details of the situation. You get what you give, so protect your privacy.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You've been so wound up lately that you need a release of this frenetic and temperamental energy orbiting your aura. The best advice is to attend a yoga class to release and detox everything that's been pent up within and weighing on your shoulders. If you feel that you need more assistance, consider meditation as a way to center yourself. The purpose here is to help you become more present-minded, rather than taking on the worries of the world.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Believe it or not, you're feeling like you're walking on air this week. Many of your issues are dissipating, offering you a tender moment of calm. This might be due to the winter break and time away from all the drama, or it could simply be that your state of mind is decompressing and allowing you to focus on having fun. Regardless of why, you should totally embrace this opportunity and use your good mood to do amazing things that have been on the backburner.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
People can be disappointing due to their inability to follow through. Since you are a person of your word, it's not enjoyable when you are offered things that you cannot follow through on that don't become a reality. This week, you are beginning to see through the promises your friends are making and holding them accountable if they aren't acting in accordance with them. The same applies to you, so be careful with the spell you tell. Try not to over-promise as well.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
When you get the ick, you’re unable to stop that sentiment. You don’t want selfish and cowardly people in your life who aren’t willing to defend you when you need their support. After the shadow side of their bravado rears its face, you do not like what you see, resulting in having ambiguous feelings. Since you give what you get from others, to maintain balance in partnerships, you might want to treat them in the same capacity to show them the effects of their behavior.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Emotions are similar to the waves of the oceans; sometimes they're temperamental, and other times they’re gentle and placid. The objective is to go with the flow instead of forcing a sentiment for you to attain. The more you engage with your heart, the more you'll begin to feel a sense of relief. Do not put pressure on yourself to put on a smile when you want to cry or be alone. Your senses are in a state of flux, so move with the vibe.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
You're experiencing issues with your significant other or crush. They haven't been entirely upfront with you, and neither have you. The uncertainty you’re feeling about which direction to proceed is keeping you up at night and is the focal point of your group texts. Use this week to heal your heart and take strides toward recovery. Sometimes you have to go through pain to get to the other side. Once you are there, it'll be cathartic and invigorating. In the end, you won’t want to look back.
