Daily horoscope for December 15, 2022

Our minds could take us all on some wild rides at the moment. Messenger Mercury will be quite busy — it shoves Chiron, which could send us spiraling down. Happily, the Moon will then trine Mercury and help us clear out any fear with open communication. That said, Luna also squares fierce Mars, leaving us rather scattered, and at 10:12 pm EST, Mercury irritates Mars as well. Things might get sticky as the day ends on anything but a quiet note.

March 21-April 19

You might now find yourself nearly run off your feet. Quicksilver Mercury is zooming through your career sector, so you’re focused on making progress, but its unusual angle to Mars, retrograde in your communications sector, could get in the way of any achievements. This transit may grate on your last nerve, leaving you feeling like you’ve got to put out a million fires in order to make even the smallest bit of progress. Consider this cosmic permission to give yourself a break!

April 20-May 20

Money can only carry you so far under the current circumstances. There is a rather odd alignment between messenger Mercury in your travel sector and warrior Mars, who is retrograde in your income sector at this time. Your wallet might feel a little pinched under this transit, like you simply can’t make your dreams come true on such a tight budget. Look around for creative solutions to your problems! When you put your mind to it, you can probably find ways around them.

May 21-June 20

Your reactions may be rather extreme today. Your ruler Mercury is currently slinking through your secretive 8th house, which can give you the mind of a detective seeking out clues. Unfortunately, you might see something that isn’t quite there when Mercury connects to Mars, as Mars is retrograde in your own sign. You could misread a situation and totally overreact, or misinterpret signs that really aren’t there. Try to avoid becoming too suspicious of your pals, so you don’t alienate anyone by making incorrect accusations.

June 21-July 22

Someone could be helping you put together the missing piece of a puzzle — whether you want them to or not. You’re more prone to partnering up while Mercury visits your relationship sector, but it might feel like your peer is overstepping boundaries when Mercury trips over warrior Mars in your subconscious sector. It’s one thing to help out, and another to make you feel foolish in the process. You can accept their good intentions while avoiding anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable.

July 23-August 22

Your responsibilities might get waylaid by more exciting opportunities if you aren’t careful. There is a peculiar energy overhead as Mercury in your 6th House of Work reaches out to Mars in your 11th House of Groups, so the chance to go frolic with friends may pop up when you’re supposed to be getting chores done. As tempting as this sounds, try to accomplish any necessary tasks in front of you before you check out to live it up with your pals.

August 23-September 22

A creative solution might be the best approach for any issues presenting themselves to you right now. An unusual alignment between your ruler Mercury in your expressive 5th house and Mars in your career sector is both encouraging you to mess around and inspiring you to use that lighthearted energy as a boost to get where you want to go. Think outside the box — and don’t be scared to step out onto center stage to ensure that your ideas are heard.

September 23-October 22

Tension could be pulling you between sticking close to home and flying far away. Mercury in your 4th house tries to keep you at home, but Mercury’s connection to Mars in your travel sector could give you a case of cabin fever. If you feel the need to break out of a rut, then go ahead and do something to stretch your mind and body — but you don’t need to book a worldwide cruise. A few small changes should ease your mind.

October 23-November 21

You may find yourself bouncing back and forth between casual and serious moods at present. While you can hit the town and see what everyone is up to with messenger Mercury spinning through your community sector, the way Mercury runs into Mars in your intensely private 8th house could make you feel like a volcano ready to blow. If you notice you’re reacting more strongly to others, be extra cautious about how you treat them. People will remember any harsh words, intended or not.

November 22-December 21

Someone could draw you away from your recent work. Mercury is in your income sector, helping you focus on financial matters, but the strange angle it makes to Mars in your partnership sector might shake things up. Perhaps someone you work with stirs up a bit of drama or tosses a complex new project into your lap. On the other hand, a personal partner might need you to help them out financially. Help where you can, but not when you feel forced.

December 22-January 19

Your own personal program might get waylaid by less exciting matters. Thanks to Mercury in your sign, you’ve got a cosmic green light to do as you please — at least until Mercury stumbles over Mars in your daily work sector. Your own opinions or feelings might have to be put on ice while you tend to the tasks in front of you, but that doesn’t mean they don’t matter! Check off any urgent chores, then you can return to your preferred plans.

January 20-February 18

Go ahead and let yourself drift along today, Aquarius. You’re allowed to move at a slower pace as Mercury tours your subconscious realm, making you more interested in dreams than reality. Mercury’s rare connection to Mars in your creativity sector could bring a few unanticipated moments of joy your way, so the less you try and force things to happen, the happier you’ll probably be with the results. If at all possible, leave serious matters for another day and take this time to recharge.

February 19-March 20

You could find yourself feeling rather antsy. Mercury is in your social 11th house, giving you lots of chances to circulate and connect. Unfortunately, when Mercury and Mars disagree, you may end up torn between hitting the town and staying put. If you’re already in no mood to leave home, then how about inviting a few — or a lot — of people over for a fun evening? That way you can engage with others while still sticking to the comfortable couch.
