Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

Headwind alert! With mental Mercury and go-getter Mars both retrograde in money and career zones of your chart, December is best used for wrapping up projects than launching anything new. If you need to push through a finish line, leave yourself as much buffer as possible. 

Be careful how much you take on, too. With Mars retrograde in Leo and your professional tenth house from December 6 on, this is a year when you could end up working through the holidays or putting out fires on Christmas while everyone else is gone. No thank you! Plan ahead so that doesn’t happen to you.

Silver lining: December offers an excellent opportunity to finish long-overdue tasks and make peace with projects that no longer align with your true passions. Free up your creative juices to alchemize something more magical and aligned—like a dream collaboration with a seemingly out-of-reach influencer or landing a high-profile client. Like a surprise album drop, your next big career move will be worth the wait, so use December to finesse the details and make sure the foundation is rock-solid.

The month kicks off with the Sagittarius new moon on December 1, activating your money zone. While the universe may be handing you a golden opportunity to close a deal, review every clause on the highest magnification setting. Mercury is retrograde until December 15, which could cause confusion and delays before you sign on the dotted line. Don’t commit until you’re absolutely sure it’s going to be the right investment. 

Another reason to slow down? Your minor ruler Mars turns retrograde on December 6 in your ambitious tenth house. Are you pushing yourself too hard? Mars’ retrograde through February 23, 2025 will show you where you’ve been burning the candle at both ends. Use this time to find more sustainable ways to reach your lofty goals. 

Retrogrades turn our attention to the past. Where can you extract more value from your existing offerings or income streams? Tweak your freelance rates or revisit a side hustle you started earlier this year. Just remember, Scorpio, it’s all about the long game. You're simply setting the stage for bigger things to come in 2025. Like a surprise album drop, your next career move will be worth the wait, so use December to finesse the details and make sure the foundation is rock-solid.

On December 24, the Jupiter-Saturn square nudges you to rethink the balance between your creative passions and joint commitments. Then, the December 30 Capricorn new moon sweeps in to light a path forward. Landing in your third house of communication and ideas, this new moon could usher in a flurry of emails, DMs and messages right as the calendar is turning. 

Looking to reconnect with clients and colleagues? A revamped email strategy or a bold proposal for tighter collaboration could hit all the right notes, setting you up for a 2025 that can take your career to new heights.
