Scorpio: Monthly romantic

With this month comes a mix of introspection and passion, starting when your motivated leader mars goes retrograde in dramatic fire sign leo on december 6. You might find yourself revisiting old flames or unresolved romantic patterns or unhealthy habits, but this is definitely a time to think about things rather than take action. The venus-pluto conjunction in aquarius on the seventh intensifies your need for emotional connection, but that intensity easily leads to manipulation and jealousy. You long for that strong bond with a current or potential partner, but obsession is a unattractive common side effect. For everyone’s sake, scorpio, find a way to dial it back. There’s a venus-mars opposition on the twelfth that can create tension or confusion between your desires and your actions, so do your best to communicate openly and honestly to avoid misunderstandings. If you’ve got a lot of complex relationship dynamics going on, keeping close track of them is important. A big shift takes place when the sun moves into capricorn on december 21, bringing a quick diversion from your love life to your professional one. As you strive to make progress on your long-term plans, wouldn’t it be nice to have someone by your side to support you and celebrate your victories? If you don’t have a person like that in your life, you will soon. Be patient.
