OFM Horoscopes: December 2023
Happy holidays, my little elves! The winter season is fast approaching: with the Winter Solstice being the shortest day of the year on December 21. What will you do to celebrate this great time of restoration and transformation? Be on the lookout for the new moon In Sagittarius on December 12 and the full moon in Cancer on December 27! That dang Mercury is back on its retrograde motion starting December 13, so be aware of communication differences, and really try to listen to others and their needs as well as your own!
