Winter is approaching, and the cosmos are shedding light on your hopes for the future. The end of the year can feel like a serious wake-up call, and your Dec. 4 weekly horoscope is bringing focus to the bigger picture. Are you in alignment with your truth? How have your past experiences influenced the person you've become?
The week begins on a supercharged note, as the moon joins forces with electric Uranus, adding a sudden jolt to the emotional atmosphere. Fueled by Venus in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Pisces, this unexpected epiphany could revolve around an outdated belief system or a desire to break free, specifically when it comes to finances, values, and your definition of stability. What you once considered important may no longer resonate, and that's OK. To add to it, Mercury will square off with Jupiter, continuing to highlight the mindset, ideas, and philosophies you've recently outgrown. The communicator planet will ingress into Capricorn shortly after, adding a layer of tradition, honesty, and pragmatism to thought processes and exchanges. The truth isn't always pretty, but Mercury in Capricorn prefers to get down to business.
Just in time for a Mercury-ruled (Gemini) full moon on Dec. 7, there will be an influx of energy brought to the surface, pointing out unrealistic expectations or missing facts surrounding a particular situation. Reality continues to set in on Dec. 9, when Venus squares Jupiter and enters Capricorn shortly after. Whether you look at it in terms of financial success or the type of relationships you're longing for, the cosmos are urging you to be honest with yourself and cultivate accountability. Wise Jupiter is highlighting the wisdom you've obtained in past experiences, and it's time to finally move forward. As for your goals, dreams, and expectations of the future, reflect on where you've unconsciously sold yourself short in the past. It's time to level up.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Weekly Horoscope For Dec. 4, 2022
Making a decision about next steps is easier said than done when there is so much uncertainty, Libra.

You may begin seeing things from a different perspective entirely, and that could forever alter your beliefs moving forward.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Weekly Horoscope For Dec. 4, 2022
Your financial goals are more possible than you allow yourself to realize, Scorpio. The week of Dec. 4 begins with a perplexing square between Venus and Neptune, highlighting your overindulgences as well as your lack of clarity when it comes to matters of self-worth. Are you wholeheartedly living your best life and doing everything you can to become more aligned with your calling? Sounds like a lot to tackle at once, but your passions will fuel you — they always have.
The moon will conjunct Uranus on Dec. 5, bringing unexpected shake-ups to your relationship sector while shedding light on those you no longer resonate with. Whether personally or professionally, this is where the cosmos is urging you to reflect on your connections with others, especially those that cloud your perception of yourself. Have you continued to surround yourself with people who leech onto your divinity, or are you beyond it all? You don't have to take that outdated outlook with you moving forward, and this is precisely what the full moon in Gemini is bringing to light.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Weekly Horoscope For Dec. 4, 2022

What are you finally ready to let go of and move on from?

Relaying this message may not necessarily be the easiest, but this truth coming to light will set you free. You're being challenged to release outdated beliefs surrounding money, relationships, and your sense of self-worth. Venus's ingress into Capricorn wants you to take your power back.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Weekly Horoscope For Dec. 4, 2022
Can you trust what you're hearing, Capricorn? Things could be as ambiguous as ever, especially when Venus squares Neptune on Dec. 4. You may be longing for a certain amount of freedom in your immediate community and yet have no choice but to show up when you're in the mood to retreat.

This could be with a close relative or sibling, so try to be as present as possible.
Mercury will ingress into your sign on Dec. 6, followed by a full moon in Gemini the following day.

And when considering the sun's opposition to Mars retrograde on Dec. 8, you could gain clarity on the truth behind your daily rituals or acts of service. Venus's ingress into your sign always brings good news, but you should remain discerning with your investments.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Weekly Horoscope For Dec. 4, 2022
All the relationships you value are being brought to the forefront, Aquarius. The week of Dec. 4 begins with Venus and Neptune at a crossroads.

The following day, Mercury will ingress into Capricorn, lighting up your 12th house of closure, secrets, and inhibitions, and just in time for a full moon in Gemini the next day. Touching down on your flirty fifth house of children, romance, and passion projects, this lunation is likely to bring clarity around next steps or encourage you to address your feelings for someone in the workplace. The bottom line is: Is it all really worth it?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Weekly Horoscope For Dec. 4, 2022
Doubting yourself will only reflect onto your personal and professional endeavors, so make sure you're being crystal clear, Pisces. This is especially true when considering the influence of your elusive planetary ruler, Neptune, this week. For instance, before wrapping up in Sagittarius — your 10th house of authority and reputation in the world — Venus will face off with Neptune in your sign on Dec. 4. This is where you're being encouraged to reflect on the identities you've unconsciously absorbed or portrayed to the rest of the world. What do you stand for, and what beliefs are you ready to release in the process?
On Dec. 6, Mercury will ingress into Capricorn via your 11th house of community affairs and your sense of belonging in the world.

How can you be more realistic with your goals moving forward? The moon will peak alongside Mars retrograde in Gemini on Dec. 7, bringing emphasis to your inner dialogue and the dynamic of your early experiences. It's time to connect with your ride-or-dies, and those who share similar goals and dreams.
