4 Zodiac Signs That Will Have The Best Holiday Season

The stars are woven into the Christmas story in a remarkable way. Not only did the magi from the biblical story allegedly follow a great conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn in order to find the newborn messiah, but the early Christians constructed their liturgical calendar around this time of year due to the symbolic importance of the winter solstice.

Although modern light pollution has made it more challenging to observe the cosmos from our own backyards, the tradition of celebrating the holidays during Capricorn season has remained. At least here in the northern hemisphere, the weather grows colder, we spend more time indoors, and we eat more, just as our ancestors did centuries ago.

We are incredibly fortunate to witness this cosmic story unfold thousands of years later. But it goes without saying that not every Christmas has the warm and nostalgic vibe that we hope for. Some years are more wistful and bittersweet, while others have a pervasive darkness surrounding them.

The transits of this December are largely positive, with both Neptune and Jupiter stationing direct. The curtain is closing on a pretty chaotic year, but the final weeks are looking pretty good.

The following four signs are likely to have the most abundant, fun, romantic, and exciting holiday season—in that order.

Virgo

You’ve been thriving with Jupiter and Uranus forming a trine to your ascendant, offering you a boost in popularity and material wealth. This good fortune continues for you as the holiday season brings yet another harmonious trine to Mercury in your fifth house of pleasure and creativity. You’re a joy to be around this season, offering a jolt of Christmas spirit to your friends and family. This has been a productive and fruitful year for you, and you’re likely to enjoy the finale. Pour the champagne and toast to the many successes sure to come in 2024.

Scorpio

Venus in your first house is lending you some extra rizz this holiday season, so if you’re single, get prepared for the onslaught of attention. In general, this season you’ll be in your feels, but you’ll actually find it easier to talk about them, with Mercury in your third house of communication. This is the ideal time to talk to your siblings and hometown friends about your secret dreams and ideas. You might even bump into your high school crush who’s also back in home for the holidays and decide to reconnect.

Sagittarius

With both the sun and Mars lighting up your first house for the majority of December, you’ll be feeling especially impulsive. You’re inclined to say yes to holiday parties and spontaneous adventures, and with Mars offering you the push you need to get moving, you’ll be feeling the excitement of the holiday season more than anyone this year. With Mercury now in your second house of finances, you can expect a raise or bonus at work—or some extra money slipped into your card from Grandma. You’ll be ending the year feeling financially secure and genuinely excited about what is ahead.

Capricorn

This season is your season, since the sun enters Capricorn on the winter solstice, just four days before Christmas Day. Early-degree Caps will be unwrapping birthday presents along with Christmas gifts—and they’re likely to be pretty nice, thanks to the trine to Jupiter in luxurious Taurus. Despite your reputation as the unsentimental sign, you’ll be more talkative than usual this year, with Mercury leading the way ahead of the sun in your first house. This is an excellent time to express gratitude to your relatives and tell them how much you appreciate them. The words will flow more sincerely this year, so take some time to write Christmas cards or journal about your plans for 2024.
