December

December begins with a burst of fiery optimism as the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 1st inspires fresh starts and bold intentions. Sagittarius’ expansive energy encourages you to set your sights high, dream big, and take a leap of faith. Use this lunation to reflect on your personal growth, expand your horizons, and embrace opportunities for learning or adventure.

On the 6th, Mars stations retrograde in Leo, signalling a slowdown in areas of creativity, leadership, and personal drive. While Mars retrogrades often feel frustrating, this one provides an opportunity to reassess how you assert yourself and express your passions. It’s a chance to refine your goals and align your actions with your values. Avoid impulsive decisions and focus on inner growth during this period.

The 7th is a day of shifts. Venus moves into Aquarius, introducing a progressive, unconventional energy to relationships and values. Connection thrives in shared ideals and a spirit of equality. If you’ve felt stuck in traditional patterns, Venus in Aquarius encourages you to try something new. On the same day, Neptune stations direct in Pisces, lifting the fog of confusion or self-doubt that may have clouded your vision. Creative inspiration flows more freely, and spiritual insights become clearer.

Mid-month, the Full Moon in Gemini on the 15th shines a spotlight on communication, learning, and connection. This lunation encourages you to express your thoughts and clear the air. With Mercury stationing direct in Sagittarius on the same day, conversations that stalled in recent weeks will begin to move forward. It’s a time to finalise plans, clarify misunderstandings, and share your truth with confidence.

The Winter Solstice on the 21st marks the Sun’s transition into Capricorn and the official start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, summer in the Southern. This shift encourages practicality, determination, and focus. Capricorn season invites you to set long-term goals, build solid foundations, and take responsibility for your ambitions. The Solstice is a moment of reflection and a time to honour the light within as the days begin to grow longer.

December concludes with a grounded and focused energy as the New Moon in Capricorn on the 30th offers the perfect moment to set intentions for the new year ahead. Capricorn’s disciplined energy supports practical, achievable goals. Whether it’s about career, finances, or personal growth, this lunation invites you to take the first step toward manifesting your aspirations.
