Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of December 8 through December 14, 2024.

Aries

As Venus, the planet of love and beauty, graces your social sphere for the festive season, you’ve got people to see and places to be. Enjoy your wider circles and niche groups of diverse people. This is your time to mingle if you’re single and looking. Make the most of your networks, as love may be found through a friend of a friend—or is that friend potentially something more? Nonprofits, helping out those less fortunate, or digging in for a good cause can add meaning and release a feeling of the “helper’s high.” Heading out to events and venues that are off the beaten track or a little different—either edgy or geeky—is a must. Online and virtual spaces aren’t off the table either, so be open to novelty if it suits you, and shut it down if it doesn’t.

Taurus

As your ruling planet Venus swaps practicality for progressive circles and ideas, it’s time to get social in your professional or public sphere. If you have an online presence, yes—show up and glow up. Consider an interview spree on your social media, polishing up your brand, whether personal or professional, and mingling. Yes, you’re going to the office end-of-year party, as it’s also a great way to get to know the people you spend so much of your time with. If you work remotely, solo, not at all, or are a student, then whatever you do, take the time to get to know the people around you. You may be as much of an enigma to them as they are to you! Consider how you can pull together a group collaboration that can benefit you all with skills, knowledge sharing, or pooling of resources.
