Happy December, pretty Virgo. Last month, you avoided relationship drama by laying low during the eclipse. The bad news is that there is another dramatic eclipse this month, Virgo, but hopefully, you're too distracted by plenty of potential for love and money even to notice. December kicks off with Neptune ending its retrograde, where its been since Friday, June 25. So when the dreamy planet goes direct on Wednesday, December 1, your professional goals are clear as day. You're not confused about what you want — you're on a mission to get it. 

The new moon and solar eclipse in Sagittarius arrive on Saturday, December 4. You don't need to go into hermit mode, Virgo, but try to spend this weekend with trusted friends or family. You can avoid drama by focusing on having fun and catching up with the people who have your back. 

Although you don't like to admit to it, Virgo, you can be a bit passive-aggressive at times, especially when you're annoyed.

When your ruling planet, the messenger Mercury, enters responsible Capricorn on Monday, December 13, you take notice of your communication style. Although you don't like to admit to it, Virgo, you can be a bit passive-aggressive at times, especially when you're annoyed. It can be unhealthy, and your romantic partnerships will benefit from direct communication. On this same date, Monday, December 13, the fighter planet Mars enters bold Sagittarius, helping you identify what you need from your partners and respectfully ask for it. 

Use the full moon in Gemini on Saturday, December 18, to tidy up at work or home. The holidays are approaching, Virgo! Whether you're traveling, hosting, or need a comfortable, clear living space to try out holiday makeup looks, you'll feel better after cleaning the house. On Sunday, December 19, Venus, the planet of love, money, and beauty, goes retrograde, where it will stay until Saturday, January 29. When Venus is retrograde, communication regarding love and money becomes more challenging, and you should hold off on making any significant changes to your appearance. That's why it's crucial to get your communication tactics worked out with loved ones earlier in the month. The second half of December is busy with holidays and retrogrades and is only suitable for kicking back, wearing sequins, and opening presents. 

Tell your family — chosen or blood — how much you love them, and the affection will be returned.

You're on top of travel plans when responsible, and fellow Earth sign Capricorn season begins on the Winter Solstice, Tuesday, December 21. Be ready to make time for self-care because the pandemic isn't over. The holidays will still come with extra stress this year. Make sure to continue to honor your boundaries and only engage in parties or travel that you're comfortable with. However, the stars are aligned to give you an enjoyable holiday season. When your ruling planet, Mercury, which is in Capricorn, conjuncts (a favorable aspect) Venus (also in Capricorn) on Wednesday, December 29, you meet your goals from earlier in the month by easily sharing your feelings with others. Tell your family — chosen or blood — how much you love them, and the affection will be returned. See you next year, Virgo!

Once you decide which holiday party to make an appearance at, you'll need a memorable makeup look. The Pat McGrath Labs Mothership V Eyeshadow Palette in Bronze Seduction offers endless possibilities for a sultry smoky eye.
