Each zodiac sign's weekly love horoscope is here for December 12 - 18, 2022. Here's what's happening for your zodiac sign this week regarding love and relationships.
As December progresses, this week holds valuable opportunities to overcome life's challenges that affect your relationship. We learn to be thankful for the love we share with a partner and our loved ones.
The Sun and Saturn help to heal past wounds so that each zodiac sign feels comfortable moving into the future.
Freeing from your past's emotional weight helps you feel hopeful that things could turn out differently this time.
During the Last Quarter Moon in Virgo, it's a time for couples to figure things out. Some learn to let go of unaligned on a personal level, and others see what isn't working within their relationship.
This week brings many much closer in love. While other zodiac signs can see why they need to end their relationship.
Retrograde Mars in Gemini complicates relationship matters. Endings may be delayed until after the New Year, but it does not mean you are stuck. As you struggle to work a few things out, don't forget how you, like a sparkling diamond, are made sparkly by learning to withstand pressure.
Asteroid Ceres enters Libra this week, giving your relationship a loving and nurturing haze.
It is almost as if once you release what is not working, you can find gratitude for what is.
Life is better together, and love can overcome obstacles. Still, if it does not, you are only being redirected to something that will.
Mark these dates down, as they provide insight into what's happening in your love horoscope this week:
Friday, December 16th
The Last Quarter Moon occurs today in the earth sign of Virgo. Spiritually the Last Quarter Moon represents a time of release and letting go. It is time to recognize that just because we want something or even someone to remain in our lives does not mean they are meant to.
But it is also about releasing beliefs or thoughts that take you away from manifesting your dreams and that relationship you desire. Virgo is a detailed-oriented, analytical sign which means that under this energy, you are encouraged to release control of anything or anyone.
Don’t worry about all the little pieces. Trust that everything will always come together as it is meant to. Release the illusion that you can keep life from progressing by an unwillingness to let go.
Sunday, December 18th
Asteroid Ceres moves into the air sign of Libra and creates an environment all about nourishment and love. Ceres rules all aspects related to the home, womanhood, and femininity. This is a return to softness and balance and to appreciating the simpler things in life, like where you call home and who you share it with.
During this phase, you can expect self-care to become more of a priority. Still, you and your partner will also feel more giving and nurturing of one another.
Ceres in Libra may also help to smooth recent obstacles in relationships as it tends to focus on what is good and beautiful. This is not a sweeping under-the-carpet type of energy but one of gratitude.
