December is here, which means festive fun and a flurry of activity.
We’re currently in the middle of Sagittarius season but as Christmas arrives so does Capricorn’s time to shine.
If you’re planning on using your horoscope to work out how your winter’s about to go down, you’ve come to the right place.
From smashing goals pre-New Year to letting go and relaxing, there’s a lot on the cards.
Ahead you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the month of December, with three tarot cards drawn and their meaning for you explained.
Aries
March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for December: Ace of Coins, Strength, King of Coins
Meaning: Amazing New Year’s Resolution
This trio of cards point to you making an almighty and powerful New Year’s resolution this month that will elevate 2023 (and beyond) towards your best life ideals and dreams.
The King and Ace of Coins sees you planning a long-term goal, something significant which will take months to truly achieve or start moving. It is linked to home, money, work or health. It is something you control, can take ownership of, and work on solo.
Strength reveals this will yield enormous personal development benefits. You will go on an emotional and mental journey with this ambition or resolution, and you will change (for the better) as a person. Power to you, Aries!

Ready to get out there and make things happen? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Taurus for December: The World, The Emperor, Two of Cups
Meaning: Take Charge
Sometimes, to get where you want to go, you just have to seize the day and MAKE it happen. If you’re clear on the outcome, what are you waiting for? Don’t leave it to others.
The Emperor is the boss card. He puts his agenda front and centre and moves mountains to manifest his goals. No messing. No waiting on others to do it for him. The World is a powerful card of end game, achievement, reaching a pinnacle, fulfilling a lifelong goal or dream. In short: you know what you want and it’s up to you now to make it happen.
The Two of Cups shows this purposeful energy is linked to romance, relationships, love (or possibly family/deep friendships/creative partnerships). You can see the potential. Make it happen, Taurus, and they’ll thank you for it down the line.

Tough questions for Gemini (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Gemini for December: King of Wands, Death, Six of Swords
Meaning: Trim The Dead Wood
Winter is a time for release, letting go, endings, pruning off the dead ends so new growth can come through in Spring. Death and the Six of Swords combine to ask you to make these cuts this month.
What’s not working? Fading? Feels false? Has run its course? Doesn’t have a long term future? Was good in the moment but isn’t sustainable? Doesn’t belong in your game plan for 2023? Make a list. Withdraw, retreat, exit and leave these things behind.
The King of Wands promises this is not a sad or difficult task, it will be energising and liberating. Getting rid of the dead wood. You are going to be busy 2023, you need to make some space! Have a good old clear out.

This is a very free-flowing kind of month and you will enjoy riding the ride, without having to plan too much or make too many big choices. Be flexible, spontaneous, and live in the moment.
The Wheel of Fortune brings lucky, changeable and transformative energy to your life this December. Things will feel different every day and nothing will be the same, come the end of the month, as it was at the start! The Two of Wands tells you to just ride the ride, don’t worry about anything, it will all shake down just right in the end.
The Six of Coins is a friendly, happy, good karma card. Be kind to others, generous, wise, loving, compassionate. The more good energy you put out into the world, the more will be returned to you.

Tarot card for Leo for December: Seven of Wands, Five of Cups, Temperance
Meaning: Letting It Go
Something sad that you’ve held onto all year long will be dislodged by a challenge this month, and you will finally let it go and let it all heal. A long time coming!
The Five of Cups sees you grieving over something, nursing a regret, second guessing a big decision. You keep returning to this theme, even though it’s kind of done and dusted.
The Seven of Wands shows that you will be pressure-tested on it this month. Something or someone will challenge you and you will realise that, actually, everything came out for the best in the end (or, even if not, you can live with where you’re at and stop fretting over it).
Temperance reveals this puts you back on top form. You feel secure, in control, grounded and at ease again. You are content and satisfied. Celebrate your wonderful life this festive season, Leo!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Look out for water signs, Virgo (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Virgo for December: Two of Swords, Eight of Coins, Ten of Cups
Meaning: Relationship Efforts
Relationships are hard work, right? Right! The Eight of Coins sees you having to put the effort in this month, making compromises, seeking resolutions, mediating disputes, soothing furrowed brows… but, you are good at this.
The Two of Swords also asks you to notice where your efforts are totally taken for granted or unrewarded… and maybe step back a bit there. Make a few tough choices about people who don’t recognize your value. That can be a gift to yourself.
The Ten of Cups shows that, mostly, your wonderful supportive nature will be totally appreciated and you will feel loved and needed and thanked. Love life is looking very strong. If you’re single, look for Water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio).

Tarot card for December: Nine of Wands, Nine of Coins, Ten of Coins
Meaning: Invest In The Long Game
It’s all going to be worth it, Libra, those hardworking habits and endeavouring efforts of yours. Don’t give up now, keep going.
The Nine of Wands sees you encountering a couple of low-key obstacles or issues in a long-term plan or project of yours- maybe linked to home, health, work or money. I promise you they are not half as bad as they initially seem and you can blast through them. Don’t shirk away.
The Nine and Ten of Coins reveal you are on track, doing the right things for your long term health, wealth and prosperity, and you must keep going. Don’t be put off, don’t worry you’re going wrong, don’t slack off. You are marching down the road to success. Go even faster!

October 24 to November 22
Scorpio, it may be time to take stock of things (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Scorpio for December: Five of Swords, Seven of Coins, The High Priestess
Meaning: Reflect On A Problem
Pay attention to a conflict or troubling mood in your realm, because it’s acting as a signal to alert you to a change you could make for the better. Don’t squash it down. Face it.
The Five of Swords sees you being embroiled in a conflict or stressful patch (this has gone on a while, it’s not new). This will come to an end but its emergence serves a bigger cause: to alert you to something you could change and improve.
The High Priestess asks you to meditate and ruminate on this issue. Delve into the root cause, triggers, outcomes, and options for avoiding it happening again. The Seven of Coins shows this train of thought will lead to an illuminating stop. You will have a deep insight about a positive change you can make. Once you have it…. do it.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
A magical December is on the cards for Sag (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Sagittarius for December: The Magician, Six of Cups, Three of Coins
Meaning: Magic In The Air
Oh to be admired, Sagittarius. Lucky you, the suitors and potential friends or influencers are literally lining up to make your acquaintance and offer you opportunities. Be welcoming.
The Three of Coins is like a secret admirer vibe and shows others have noticed and valued your presence and wish to make you an offer of some kind (could be work, community, friendship or even romance). The Six of Cups reveals people from your past also miss you and are going to try and rekindle the bond this festive season.
The Magician asks you to use these wonderful opportunities well (after all, it’s often WHO vs WHAT you know that gets you ahead). Be creative, imaginative, warm and welcoming. Don’t shut things down… see where they lead. Magic is in the air this December! It is your star signs’ season, after all.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
All change (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Capricorn for December: Ten of Swords, Page of Wands, Ace of Swords
Meaning: A Game Changing Month
Speak your mind, stand up for yourself, end things that aren’t working for you, take an experimental approach to moving on i.e. have a go at stuff, don’t pressurize yourself into making everything right first time.
The Ace and Ten of Swords see you telling others how things really are for you this month, and maybe it leads to an ending or exit. Don’t shy away from this. It’s all for the best. You’ve been struggling on with something heavy, difficult, and maybe even toxic for some time, and it’s time to put down this load. Don’t bite your lip. Say how it is.
The Page of Wands then gives you permission to play for a while. Don’t rush into another commitment or heavy role/duty/relationship/situation. Have fun. Experiment. See what suits. Have a go. Try new things. This is a game changing month. Do what’s best for you.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Aquarius, trust your instincts (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aquarius for December: Seven of Swords, Nine of Swords, King of Swords
Meaning: Do The Right Thing
A trio of Swords cards sees you wrestling with something mentally this month, something which you’re worried will paint you as a villain in some way, which is not entirely fair. Aquarius, do the right thing, the truth will out.
The Nine of Swords has you worried, deep down, privately, about something that you have let get a bit out of proportion in your mind. You have been overthinking.
The Seven of Swords shows there is a fear here that you are not being quite honest or forthright, that later on you might be seen as a villain for some reason.
The King of Swords urges you to project yourself ahead in time and get this situation in perspective. How important will it be in five years’ time? What is the right thing to do? Steel yourself to do that right thing, get the hard work over, and then stop worrying. Deal it with it sooner than later.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Spread the love this month (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Pisces for December: Page of Cups, Nine of Cups, Justice
Meaning: Making Magic
Creativity, wish-fulfilment, making magic memories, and being compassionate and kind to those who’re struggling. This is your December to-do list, Pisces. Sound okay?
The Page of Cups is about wonderment, innocent and wholesome pastimes and hobbies, seeing the world through a magical lens. You do this naturally anyway but this festive season lets you go all out. The Nine of Cups urges you to make some wishes come true (for yourself and others). Make this a time that anything can happen! Be magical.
Justice brings a somber note, in a way, by asking you to notice those who are struggling, have little, are finding this Christmas particularly hard. Do something positive for them too, and you will feel good about it. Spread the love, you have plenty to spare.
