Horoscope For Today: Monday, December 11, 2023

Today, December 11, 2023, starts with an early morning transition of the Moon from reserved Scorpio to boisterous Sagittarius. When the Moon enters the mutable fire sign of the zodiac, we can experience emotions that thrive on impulse rather than reason. We can feel optimistic and full of enthusiasm, yet we can also feel reckless and act before we have a chance to think.

Today marks a beginning that involves dealing with a culmination of frustration that pulls between a desire to act on impulse and a restriction blocking us, as the Moon in Sagittarius forms a square to Saturn in Pisces at 9:08 a.m. (EST). Feeling torn and a bit scattered is to be expected, but acting on our emotions in the moment isn’t advised. Moon transits show up quickly and can feel startling, but only stick around for a short time.

A few hours later, Mercury in Capricorn forms a supportive sextile to Venus in Scorpio, which can stimulate our creative sides and have us come across as eloquent and persuasive, with some charm thrown in the mix for good measure. If you can start your day working through the emotions, you can find ways to solve your problems throughout the rest of it.

Check out your sign below (Sun and Rising!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

Today may prove emotional for you, Aries, but it’s only a moment in time. The Moon moves into your fellow fire sign, Sagittarius, in your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel. While this energy is typically more optimistic and even reckless in nature, earlier in the day, it forms a square with Saturn in Pisces—and the results have you feeling some restrictions thrown up emotionally, although you may feel you’re about to burst. With Saturn in your 12th House, you could feel some guilt surrounding secrets, and you may find it more difficult to share what you’re experiencing with your loved ones. The Moon in your 9th may point to your feeling held back and restricted from pursuing the things you crave on a higher level.

Later in the day, however, you have the opportunity to feel a bit lighter when Mercury in your 10th House sextiles Venus in your 8th House, giving you some excitement in your connections and may make sharing your thoughts and feelings easier to do. Take the late morning and early evening to process your emotions personally before bringing them to others—you’ll be glad you did.

Taurus

As the Moon in your 8th House forms a square to Saturn in your 11th House, you could struggle to express how your finances and priorities impact your friendships. You have strong intuition regarding others’ intentions, but today, you could feel like you’re experiencing an emotional block that leaves you uncertain. Try not to make rash decisions before you have all the facts.

Later, Mercury in your 9th House forms a sextile to Venus in your 7th House, which can lift your spirits and serve as a great time to make plans with your partner or close friends—brainstorming travel ideas could be just what you need. 

Gemini

Today, you could be feeling resentful towards people who you feel don’t truly see you, Gemini. The Moon in your 7th House of Partnerships forms a square with Saturn in your 10th House of Career and Public Image, and it could feel as though you are emotionally stuck in explaining how you feel. You could have felt hurt by a partner wanting to hide you (notably on social media) or by close friends who seem to leave you out. Emotional blocks could also be present between you and authority figures, leaving you resentful. While doing something impulsive is tempting, it won’t fix the problem.

Later, when Mercury in your 8th House forms a sextile to Venus in your 6th House, there could be a chance to bond with your partner or family members through an activity or discussion surrounding new goals and habits to engage in together. You may feel more grounded in your partnerships once you have something tangible to hold onto.

Cancer

You could easily feel more restricted than usual, Cancer, and it’s okay to be frustrated about it. With the Moon in your 6th House of Habits and Wellness squaring Saturn in your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel, it may weigh heavy on you that your current day-to-day feels so distant from the dreams you want to achieve. Today could be tempting to blame others, but you know it’s not as simple as that. It’s okay to wish for bigger things—and it’s okay to grieve that you aren’t there yet.

Later in the day, you can experience some relief when Mercury in your 7th House of Relationships forms a sextile to Venus in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance—this is an opportunity to dream, romanticize, and indulge in the potential of what could be. You may feel inspired to create or to flirt, but regardless, you’ll feel more in line to express yourself. 

Leo

You long to be carefree today, Leo, but the emotions don’t make it easy. With the Moon in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance squaring Saturn in your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, you may struggle to voice what you want in your romantic connections—or even fully know what you want. The frustration can boil up if there has been some miscommunication, putting you and your potential/current partner on different pages. 

If you need to get the tension out, call your family or a close relative today and talk about how you’re feeling before hashing things out. With Mercury in your 6th House of Habits and Wellness forming a sextile to Venus in your 4th House of Home and Roots, you may feel more at ease to talk things over with someone you trust. 

Virgo

Tension between home and your close connections could be heavy on your mind today, Virgo. With the Moon in your 4th House of Home and Roots squaring Saturn in your 7th House of Partnerships, you could feel pressure to commit to someone—or find someone to commit to. You aren’t opposed, but it can feel difficult to voice what’s going on in your heart and mind, especially if you feel judged. 

Later in the day, when Mercury in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance forms a sextile to Venus in your 3rd House of Communication and Community, you may find that you connect with someone from your hometown or in your community—and you can sense the potential there. You may also discover someone new about your current partner and feel more flirty and reckless than usual. It’s okay to let loose now and then. 

Libra

The struggle to express yourself in all areas of your life is tough to navigate today, Libra. With the Moon in your 3rd House of Communication and Community forming a square to Saturn in your 6th House of Habits, Routines, and Wellness, you may struggle with a desire to be more free and turn your passions into a career—but they may not exactly align the way you hope. Trying to find the path can feel frustrating, especially when all you want is to dive in headfirst. 

Later, when Mercury in your 4th House of Home and Roots forms a sextile to Venus in your 2nd House of Income and Values, you may feel bold in approaching topics surrounding your new job interests. Whether talking things over with a partner or those you live with about switching career paths (and how that will affect your income) or having others help support you financially while you pursue a dream, you may feel less inhibited to say what’s on your mind than usual. 

Scorpio

You’re feeling fed up today regarding your job and how it doesn’t play into your passions today, Scorpio. You’re more than aware that creative jobs don’t always pay well, and with the Moon in your 2nd House of Income and Values forming a square to Saturn in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance, you’re more emotional about it than usual. You may feel reactionary and want to do something impulsive, but remember that you don’t want to cost your current job security over something you can’t take back. 

Later, when Mercury in your 3rd House of Communication and Community forms a sextile to Venus in your 1st House of Self and Identity, you may choose to express yourself more in your appearance and presentation than anything else. Whether you indulge your creative side or even write/create art about the frustration you were experiencing earlier today, it could serve as the ideal release. 

Sagittarius

You could be struggling to be yourself, Sagittarius, and today, it’s making you feel more vulnerable than usual. With the Moon in your 1st House of Self and Identity forming a square to Saturn in your 4th House of Home and Roots, you could feel emotional at the parts of yourself you feel you have to hide from your family or that you can’t express without your family finding out about it. It can feel isolating to feel like you’re never being your fullest self.

Later, when Mercury in your 12th House of Subconscious and Isolation forms a sextile to Venus in your 2nd House of Income and Values, you may have some conversations that help you determine whether it’s worth taking money/making money from those that limit who you are. You may feel more empowered to focus on yourself, what you need mental health-wise, and whether certain relationships can pass the bar. 

Capricorn

You’re struggling to take some time to yourself today, but it’s needed, Capricorn. With the moon in your 12th House of Subconscious and Isolation forming a square to your 3rd House of Communication and Community, you’re overthinking things to a whole new level—feeling a gut instinct and not being able to back it up with hard evidence is not easy. You are stressing yourself out by trying to find the “truth”—stop scrolling through socials for clues and instead take a step back and sit with these feelings.

Later, when Mercury in your 1st House of Self and Identity forms a sextile to Venus in your 11th House of Friendships and Networking, you may feel more inclined to set yourself apart from those around you—but with full support from those you care about. Taking your mind off what could be and grounding yourself in what is could do wonders for you today. 

Aquarius

You want to do more, Aquarius, but you’re struggling to see how. With the Moon in your 11th House of Friendships and Networking forming a square to Saturn in your 2nd House of Income and Values, you find yourself desperately wishing to support your friends and bigger causes, but financially, you don’t have the means—and it’s weighing on you heavily today. Remember that your friends understand and that there are more ways to provide support than finances. 

Later, when Mercury in your 12th House forms a sextile to Venus in your 10th House of Career and Public Image, you may feel more inclined to use your position in life (career or power) to influence changes. Small steps make a difference, and you may be more persuasive than usual. 

Pisces

You want to express yourself, but it’s hard when you’re trying to make an impression career-wise, Pisces. Today, with the Moon in your 10th House of Career and Public Image forming a square to Saturn in your 1st House of Self and Identity, you could feel even more sensitive and resentful to this knowledge. It’s not easy when you have to choose between who you are and the version you show at work to make things more comfortable. While yelling at your boss about the unfair dress code may be great to imagine, remember that it likely won’t lead to the results you want.

Later, when Mercury in your 11th House forms a sextile to Venus in your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel, you may find solace in coworkers who feel the same about these limited expressions. You could brainstorm ways to tackle the issues together—there is more power in community, after all.
