Highlights of the week December 16 through 22, 2024 for Taurus based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Taurus, as the week of December 16th to 22nd unfolds, we’re edging ever closer to the holiday season. Catholic Christmas is nearly here, and the countdown to 2025 has officially begun! While this time of year feels magical to some, it’s often a bit more complicated for you. The excitement of New Year’s that you cherished as a child may now feel weighed down by adult responsibilities and an endless to-do list that keeps growing. Deep down, though, you still treasure the festivities—there’s a part of you that longs to reconnect with that joy.
Currently, the Sun is moving through your intensely emotional and transformative 8th house, highlighting themes of deep personal connections, shared resources, and even secrets. While this transit encourages reflection, it can also create an underlying tension in your relationships with loved ones. There may be a lingering sense of sadness in the air that’s difficult to articulate. Don’t worry, Taurus—your grounded nature will help you navigate these vibes, and better yet, Mercury (the planet of communication) is finally moving direct after a retrograde cycle that started back on November 25th. This planetary shift has already begun to clear up some of the uncertainties or miscommunications you’ve been experiencing in close relationships. As we head into the holidays, you’ll start to feel things easing up and resolving more naturally.
December 18th: Navigate Neptune’s Fog
On December 18th, be extra cautious when making promises, finalizing agreements, or trusting second-hand information. This day could feel a bit murky, as the Sun in your 8th house forms a tense square with Neptune, the planet of illusion and confusion, currently situated in Pisces and your 11th house of social circles, technology, and networking. Neptune’s energy can sometimes cloud judgment, and in this position, it might lead you into situations that feel unclear or even deceptive. Someone in your friend group or professional network might unintentionally (or even intentionally) mislead you, so take everything with a grain of salt.
This is not the day to take risks or rely on gut feelings alone. Whether it’s holiday event planning, workplace announcements, or even a rumor circulating among friends, make sure to double-check facts and avoid making hasty commitments. Trust only what can be verified, and you’ll avoid unnecessary stress or drama.
December 20th: Venus and Jupiter Spark Opportunities
Good news, Taurus—on December 20th, sweet and charming Venus, your ruling planet, will form a harmonious connection with lucky Jupiter. This dynamic alignment lights up two key areas of your chart: Venus in your 10th house of career and public reputation, and Jupiter in your 2nd house of money and personal resources. The result? A golden opportunity to merge your professional goals with financial abundance!
Jupiter, the planet of expansion and optimism, has been in your 2nd house since May 2024, occasionally blessing you with money-making opportunities and moments of success. Now, however, its alignment with Venus increases the likelihood of tangible results—whether that means financial rewards, recognition at work, or even a sudden business breakthrough. The energy of this transit encourages you to network strategically, pitch new ideas, or ask for what you truly deserve in the workplace. If you’ve been working hard toward a goal, this could be the moment when your determination finally pays off.
December 21st: Embrace New Horizons
On December 21st, the winter solstice arrives, marking the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. This day also signals the Sun’s shift out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn, a fellow earth sign. For you, dear Taurus, this shift brings inspiring new energy as the spotlight moves to your 9th house of higher learning, travel, and expanded horizons.
As Capricorn season begins, you may find yourself dreaming big and feeling drawn to explore uncharted territories. Whether it’s planning a trip, diving into a new area of study, or developing long-term goals, this transit inspires optimism about what’s possible. Capricorn’s grounded energy will complement your own, motivating you to turn these dreams into something tangible and real. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of routine or feeling weighed down by the heaviness of the 8th house energy earlier this month, consider this solstice a turning point. The energy will shift in a way that makes the coming weeks feel lighter, brighter, and full of potential.
Summary
Taurus, this week is a mixed bag, but there are meaningful opportunities and uplifting moments waiting for you. While December 18th might feel foggy or uncertain due to Neptune’s influence, the harmonious pairing of Venus and Jupiter on December 20th offers a promising chance to combine professional and financial success. By the time the winter solstice arrives on December 21st, the Sun’s movement into Capricorn will invite you to think boldly, set goals, and dream big for 2025.
Take this week to reflect on where you’re heading, appreciate how far you’ve come, and allow yourself to embrace both the responsibilities and joys of the season. The stars are aligning to help you finish the year strong!
