ARIES:
Aries, get ready for an exciting December! Last month, Pluto moved into Aquarius, starting a new chapter. Your ruling planet, Mars, goes retrograde this month, and a full moon at the end of the month could bring good news about your career.
This December is all about feeling more confident and creative. Your natural leadership skills will really shine, and you might find yourself in the spotlight more often. It's a great time to work on creative projects or show off your talents. Just be careful not to let your ego get too big, and remember to listen to what others think, too.
On December 1st, there's a new moon in your house of publishing, global stuff, and long-distance travel. It's a perfect time to take a chance on something new. Doors are opening, and things will start falling into place for you.
But remember to take it slow and steady. On December 7th, Mars slows down in your zone of fun, creativity, and personal desires. Take a break from learning and gaining expertise, and you'll start 2025 feeling successful.
That Mars retrograde starts early in the month, on Friday, December 6th, in your 5th House of pleasure. Since Mars is all about sexual energy, this means your sex drive might change between now and the end of February, when Mars goes direct again. If that happens, don't be too hard on yourself. It's normal for these things to go up and down.
Also, on December 6th, sweet Venus will enter your 11th House of Friendship. So, while your libido might be lower, your friendships, including with romantic partners, will be doing great. When Mars is retrograde, you might feel less ambitious than usual. It's okay to let yourself rest and relax for the next few months.
Adding to the friendship theme, the next day, on Saturday, December 7th, Ceres, the asteroid of care and nurturing, also moves into your 11th House. The next few weeks will be about sweet, caring love rather than fiery passion. Also, on December 7th, dreamy Neptune ends its retrograde and goes directly into your 12th House of the Unconscious. This will help you feel more grounded and approach spirituality in a practical way.
There may be tension in your romantic relationships on Thursday, December 12th, when Mars opposes Venus. Mars is all about sexual energy, while Venus is about the softer side of love. You might be dealing with changes in your sex drive. It's a day for lots of self-care.
Another day for possible conflict is the Gemini full moon on Sunday, December 15th. Full moons are when things come to a head, and since this one is in your 3rd House, it could bring some ongoing conversations to a close. It may be stressful, so take extra good care of yourself around this time. But also on December 15th, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct. This will help wrap up conversations and make travel go more smoothly for the rest of the month.
The sun enters Capricorn on the Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 21st. This is the shortest day of the year. Celebrate by eating lots of yummy food! It's a day for feasting and seeing friends and family. The sun is lighting up your 10th House of career for the next few weeks. So even though Mars is retrograde, and you might feel sluggish, there's a chance some good career news will come your way.
Chiron, the 'wounded healer,' goes directly to Aries on Sunday, December 29th. This brings a sense of calm and healing. It's a perfect day for an at-home spa day. Then, the next day, on Monday, December 30th, there's a Capricorn new moon in your 10th House. The end of the year might bring new friends and have you rethinking your career path with an open mind. Enjoy New Year's, and see you in 2025!
TAURUS:
Happy December, Taurus! Last month, Mars moved into your 4th House, bringing a cozy vibe to your love life. And you love all things cozy. This month, Mars starts moving backward, which could change your sex drive and ambition. But even with that, there might be some chances for your career this month.
December is a time to look inside yourself and figure out who you are. You might feel a deeper connection to your inner self and a strong urge to better understand your purpose and values. It's a perfect time to do things alone, like meditating or making art. Embrace what makes you unique and find new ways to express yourself.
On December 1st, take a look at your personal commitments and obligations. You might have to talk about money and private stuff and take the lead on some things. With Pluto moving through the top part of your horoscope, it's a powerful time to be in charge and be seen in your role. Be confident, especially around December 7th, when people will notice you.
That Mars retrograde I mentioned starts on Friday, December 6th, and lasts until February. Over the next few months, your sex drive might go up and down. That's okay! Make sure to honor whatever comes up for you. Mars retrograde can also affect how ambitious you feel. It's a time to rest rather than work hard, which can be great news for a Taurus like you.
Also, on December 6th, generous Venus will enter your 10th House of Social Status. This could mean someone tries to make you work harder than you want to, and you have to stand up for your right to rest. It's a day to hold your boundaries and ensure you have a good work/life balance.
On Saturday, December 7th, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing, moves into your 10th House of Social Status, continuing the theme of thinking about work/life balance. This is a reflective month. You should also consider how much time you spend on your creative projects.
As a Taurus ruled by pretty Venus, you're happiest when making beautiful things. Also, on December 7th, dreamy Neptune ends its retrograde and goes directly into your 11th House of Friendship. If you've felt distant from friends, this weekend is a great time to reconnect with them. Even if you're in the zone with your creative projects, like playing music or writing, spending time with others can lead to your biggest breakthroughs.
One of those days is Sunday, December 15th, when there's a Gemini full moon in your 2nd House of Possessions. While hoping for some extra cash is okay, your 2nd House also rules emotions. So this day is big for accepting feelings, maybe difficult ones. That's extra true because Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct on the same day. This helps conversations flow easier and any travel at the end of the month go more smoothly.
Venus, your ruling planet, has a favorable aspect with lucky Jupiter on Thursday, December 19th. This should be a super happy day. Hang out with friends, and if you feel like it, use the lucky vibes to assert yourself at work. It's another day when the stars are feeling generous.
The sun moves into Capricorn on the Winter Solstice, Saturday, December 21st, the shortest day of the year. You might already be with friends and family for the holidays. If not, make some plans! Just like Christmas, the Winter Solstice is meant for spending time with people you love. The sun is in your philosophical 9th House for the next few weeks. You might feel brooding or stuck in your head, so work on being present. It's also a time for travel.
The month starts to wrap up when Chiron, the wounded healer, ends its retrograde and goes direct in your 12th House on Sunday, December 29th. If you've struggled with your spiritual practices, this should bring healing. The next day, on Monday, December 30th, there's a Capricorn new moon in your 9th House.
As an earth sign, sometimes you can get stuck in your ways, Taurus. But this transit is about letting yourself try new hobbies and interests. Just like any changes in your sex drive, the trick is to allow yourself to evolve and change. Have a lovely New Year, and see you in January!
GEMINI:
Gemini, the final chapter of 2024 is upon us, and December will be a dynamic month full of personal growth, fresh starts, and a few cosmic twists and turns. Those transformative undercurrents that kicked off last month when Pluto set up shop in Aquarius? They're still going strong. Keep your eyes peeled for major shifts and shakeups, particularly in the days surrounding the new moon and Mars' retrograde phase early in the month.
This is the prime time to put the spotlight on self-improvement, Gemini. The stars are aligning to fuel your motivation to declutter your life, literally and figuratively. We're talking about setting exciting new goals, revamping your daily routines, and the whole nine yards. Make your physical and mental well-being top priorities. Implement some healthy habits that nourish your mind, body, and soul. If any obstacles crop up, face them head-on with a can-do attitude. You've got this!
Your closest relationships are due for a reboot around the December 1st new moon. Viewing your partnerships from a different angle can be just the rejuvenation they need. Don't pressure yourself to have all the answers - your innate leadership qualities will guide the way. Embrace a collaborative spirit and be receptive to others' input and ideas. When Mercury wraps up its retrograde mid-month, coinciding with the full moon, many of life's mysteries and question marks will become crystal clear.
On December 6th, fiery Mars kicks off its retrograde phase in your communication sector. For the next couple of months, don't be thrown off if you feel more inclined to play peacemaker than to butt heads. Consider it a golden opportunity to tap into your diplomatic side! Venus sashays into your 9th house of wisdom and adventure the same day, making you extra keen on participating in profound, thought-provoking conversations instead of trivial spats.
The next day, Ceres snuggles up to Venus in your 9th house, underscoring the importance of cultivating closeness through meaningful dialogue. If Mars' backspin temporarily dampens your libido, channel that energy into emotionally intimate exchanges with your partner or crush instead. On the 7th, Neptune concludes its retrograde stint in your career corner, shedding light on your professional trajectory and imaginative aspirations. The reflective vibes this month are tailor-made for artistic endeavors and passion projects.
The main event arrives on December 15th with the full moon in your sign. Gemini, this powerful lunation could deliver a manifestation or turning point, potentially in the form of a long-awaited message or revelation. Since full moons can be energetically taxing, be extra gentle with yourself on this day. Indulge in some premium self-care supplies, and don't hesitate to put your feet up if you need a breather. With Mercury stationing directly on the same day, a mental quandary that's perplexed you may finally resolve itself.
December 21st marks the Winter Solstice as the sun glides into Capricorn and heralds the commencement of Yule. The sun's rays will illuminate your private 8th house of deep bonding and transformation for the rest of the month. Geminis tend to grow antsy without regular doses of novelty, making this an ideal time to experiment with your personal style or appearance. Even a minor adjustment to your look can satisfy that craving for change and excitement.
The 29th serves up a double helping of cosmic renewal. First, Chiron wraps up its retrograde phase in your friendship sector, facilitating mending and recovery in your platonic connections. Friction and disagreements with your crew should dissipate, especially if you take the high road and practice patience, just like Mars retrograde has been teaching you.
Then on the 30th, a Capricorn new moon touches down in your intimate 8th house, infusing your New Year's resolutions with an extra dose of dedication and staying power. Carve out some quiet moments to contemplate your dreams for 2025 and formulate a flexible roadmap to bring them to fruition.
You're on the verge of an amazing new year, Gemini. Enjoy the holiday season, and I'll catch you in 2025!
CANCER:
Cancer, you're in for an interesting December! Last month, Venus moved into your 7th House of partnerships, making things extra lovey-dovey. The good news is that December ends on a romantic note, too, with a new moon in that same relationship zone. But heads up - your sex drive might be a little all over the place this month. That's because Mars, the planet of desire and action, goes retrograde on Friday, December 6th, in your 2nd House of money and self-worth. This might impact your work life more than your love life, but it's still something to keep an eye on.
Everyone knows Cancers are the ultimate homebodies, but you have a fierce side, too. When Mars is retrograde, finding a healthy balance between nurturing yourself and others and standing up for what you need is a great opportunity.
You might be extra sensitive and intuitive in December - even more than usual! Listen to your gut instincts and pay attention to your dreams. They could hold important messages. This is an ideal time to focus on your spiritual well-being. Do things that make you feel emotionally and mentally at peace, whether meditating, journaling, or taking long bubble baths. Make self-care a top priority, and don't be afraid to set boundaries. Protect your energy!
With Mercury retrograde in your 6th House of health and daily routines, managing your schedule might feel like a struggle. Don't hesitate to reach out to friends or loved ones for support. December 8th and 15th are great days to collaborate with others and make progress on your goals. And when it comes to love, things are looking promising. By the 31st, you could feel super connected to your partner or a potential love interest.
On the same day, Mars goes retrograde; Venus moves into your 8th House of intimacy and transformation. This should help offset any libido weirdness caused by Mars. The next day, December 7th, the asteroid Ceres also moves into your 8th House. You might find yourself craving deeper emotional bonds. If you're in a relationship, this is a great time to switch things up in the bedroom. Flying solo? Treat yourself to a new sex toy or experiment with different self-pleasure techniques. It's also an awesome opportunity to revamp your beauty routine.
December 7th also brings some major spiritual vibes as Neptune ends its retrograde in your 9th House of Philosophy and higher learning. If you've felt lost or confused about your beliefs lately, you could have some serious 'aha!' moments today. Trust your intuition and be open to new perspectives.
The Full Moon on December 15th electrifies your 12th House of the subconscious. Expect vivid dreams, emotional breakthroughs, or sudden information downloads. Meditation is a must around this time. On the same day, Mercury ends its retrograde, making it even easier to gain clarity and insight.
The Winter Solstice on December 21st marks the Sun's move into Capricorn and your 7th House of partnerships. The next few weeks are about balance and compromise, especially in your closest relationships. With Mars still retrograde, focus on quality time rather than trying to tackle many projects together. If you're single, prioritize your friendships. One of your main tasks this month is to find a healthy work-life balance, so don't forget to schedule some downtime!
On December 29th, the asteroid Chiron ends its retrograde in your 10th House of Career and public image. Any professional struggles or self-doubt you've been dealing with should start to ease up. Trust that you're on the right path, even if it doesn't feel like it yet.
The month ends with a powerful New Moon in Capricorn on December 30th. If you're single, you could meet someone with serious long-term potential. Couples should plan a special date night on or around this day. Set intentions for the coming year and recommit to supporting each other's growth. 2025, here you come!
LEO:
Leo, welcome to December 2024! Last month, we discussed how Pluto, the planet of big changes, was settling into Aquarius, where it'll stay until 2043. But this month, you'll probably be more focused on matters of the heart. Despite Mars going retrograde, December is shaping up to be a super romantic time for you.
This month, you'll feel inspired to try new things and have adventures. Your bold, fearless side will be on full display. You might be drawn to learning about different cultures or going on a spiritual quest. Say yes to opportunities for growth and learning, but don't forget about your responsibilities.
On December 1st, a new moon lights up your playful, romantic 5th house. Get ready for some serious flirty vibes! Things get even sweeter when Venus moves into your relationship zone on December 7th.

The Winter Solstice on December 21st shifts your focus to health, wellness, and feeling good in your body. You'll be inspired to start 2025 with habits and routines that truly nourish you.
Heads up - Mars, the planet of action and desire, goes retrograde in your sign on Friday, December 6th. It'll stay retrograde until the end of February. You might notice your sex drive shifting during this time. You may also feel less motivated or assertive than usual. Leos are often seen as attention-loving divas, but the truth is, you need your cat naps, too! Use this Mars retrograde as an excuse to get extra rest.
Also, on December 6th, Venus, the planet of love, enters your 7th house of partnerships. This is a super romantic transit! It's also a reminder to bring more sweetness and affection into all your relationships, not just the romantic ones. The next day, the asteroid Ceres also moves into your 7th house, doubling the love vibes.
On the same day, December 7th, Neptune ends its retrograde in your 8th house of intimacy and transformation. This could bring more changes to your libido. You might find yourself craving something different in the bedroom or not in the mood. Whatever comes up for you, roll with it. Your sex drive is perfect exactly as it is, even when it fluctuates.
If there's been any tension in your friendships lately, it should ease up around December 15th. This is when Mercury ends its retrograde, which means communication mix-ups and travel delays should calm down just in time for the holidays. There's also a full moon in Gemini on the 15th, lighting up your 11th house of friendship. Full moons bring things to a head, so if there have been any unresolved issues with your friends, you'll have a chance to smooth things over now.
The sun moves into Capricorn on December 21st, the Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year. It's also the pagan holiday of Yule, which has a lot in common with Christmas. It's a time to get cozy with your loved ones by the fire. The sun will be in your 6th house of health and wellness for the next few weeks. While spending time with family and friends is great, remember that the holidays can also be draining. Make self-care a priority to keep your stress levels in check.
On December 29th, the asteroid Chiron ends its retrograde in your 9th house of adventure and higher learning. You and your crew might be feeling wiped out from family time. Connecting with your chosen family is more important than ever. On the 30th, a new moon in your 6th house gives you a cosmic nudge to recommit to self-care. As you're ringing in the new year, don't forget to rest and relax. Treat yourself to a soothing face mask or a long bath. You've earned it!
See you in 2025, Leo!
VIRGO:
Virgo, happy December, and welcome to the last month of 2024! In November, Pluto settled into Aquarius, where it will stay for 20 years. But this month, you'll be more focused on things happening right now, like two moon events that could affect your work and social life.
December is going to rev up your motivation and excitement. You'll feel super driven and ambitious, ready to fulfill your goals with a vengeance. It's an awesome time to make progress in your career and start new projects. Just watch out for possible conflicts in your personal relationships. Remember to be patient and diplomatic to keep the peace and harmony.
This holiday season, your inner homebody might be on full display. Your private life, home, and family could be your top priorities. This month, you might find inspiration in romance, fertility, and true love. Creative projects or having fun could also be your big focus in December. Mistletoe kisses and a New Year's Eve date are guaranteed.
Mark your calendar for Friday, December 6th, as Mars, the planet of action, goes retrograde in your spiritual 12th house. This is an invitation to embrace a softer, more introspective form of spirituality, stepping away from boldness and assertiveness. Dive into self-care practices, like a rejuvenating spiritual bath or a cozy evening with your tarot cards, and discover the deeper layers of your inner self.
Also on December 6th, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters Aquarius and your 6th house of health and wellness. If you want to revamp your skincare routine, check out some beauty award winners for inspo. The next day, on Saturday, December 7th, the asteroid Ceres also moves into your 6th house. Basically, Virgo, this first weekend of the month is all about getting cozy at home and pampering yourself.
December 7th also brings some good news for your love life. Neptune, the planet of dreams and romance, ends its retrograde in your 7th house of partnerships. If you've been feeling a little 'meh' about dating lately, that should start to shift. Neptune going direct can also help clear up any misunderstandings in your relationships. So, if you hang out with a love interest this weekend, skip the wild parties and opt for a chill night or a yummy dinner date instead.
On Sunday, December 15th, Mercury, your ruling planet, ends its retrograde. With Mercury Direct again, communication mix-ups should calm down. If any annoying exes have been blowing up your phone, they'll take the hint and leave you alone. Mercury goes directly in time for holiday travel, too.
Also, on the 15th, there's a full moon in Gemini, lighting up your 10th house of career and public image. Full moons bring things to a head and help us see results. While we can't promise anyone a promotion or bonus (especially not in this economy), we can tell you when the stars are on your side career-wise. And thanks to this full moon and Mercury going direct, December 15th is one of those days.
The sun moves into Capricorn on the Winter Solstice, December 21st. It's the shortest day of the year and the pagan holiday of Yule. Many Yule traditions, like decorating trees and lighting candles, were actually adopted by Christmas. Since it's the shortest day of the year, it's perfect for cozy with family and friends.
The holidays can be tough for a lot of people, and this year might be especially hard. If you're looking for a good day to connect with your chosen family after dealing with relatives, circle December 29th on your calendar. That's when Chiron, the 'wounded healer,' ends its retrograde in your 8th house of deep bonding and transformation. Even if you have a great relationship with your family, some of your friends might not be so lucky. Reaching out to your crew is the best way to tap into the healing vibes Chiron is offering up.
The month wraps up with a new moon in Capricorn on December 30th. New moons are all about fresh starts and new beginnings. This one is in your 5th house of pleasure, romance, and creativity. It's ideal for getting sexy, indulging in some self-care, or doing anything that just feels good. If you're in the mood to dress up in sequins and hit a New Year's Eve party, go for it. But if you'd rather stay in and have a cozy night at home, that's great too. Do whatever feels right for you. Happy New Year, Virgo! See you in 2025.
LIBRA:
Libra, welcome to December! Last month, we discussed how Pluto, the planet of big changes, finally settled into Aquarius, where it will stay for 20 years. While you're probably still thinking about the global shifts in November, this month is all about taking care of yourself and your community during the holiday season.
December will give you a big boost of energy and social vibes. You'll be extra good at communicating, which makes it an awesome time to have deep talks and make new friends. It's perfect for networking and expanding your social circle. Just be careful not to overdo it. Set boundaries so you don't get too tired or burned out.
On December 1st, the sun and moon team up in your 3rd house of communication and local community. It's a good time to rethink how you talk to your neighbors, siblings, and friends. Keeping an open mind is key. You might also be focused on your home and family life, so you'll feel comfy and settled where you are by the year's end.
On Friday, December 6th, Mars, the planet of action, goes retrograde. When Mars is retrograde, we usually feel less bold and confident. Some people might notice changes in their sex drive, too. But since this happens in your 11th house of friendships, the changes will be mild for you. You should have more low-key, cozy hangouts with your friends. Either way, it's a reminder to make time for your crew, even if you travel later this month to see family for the holidays.
Also, on December 6th, Venus, your ruling planet, enters Aquarius and your 5th house of fun and romance. This brings out your relationship's sweet, affectionate side, making this weekend extra lovey-dovey. The next day, on December 7th, the asteroid Ceres also moves into your 5th house. It's a great excuse to treat yourself, whether that means buying a new sex toy or just taking a long, relaxing bath. Self-care is the name of the game.
December 7th also brings some good news in the self-care department. Neptune, the planet of dreams and spirituality, ends its retrograde in your 6th house of health and wellness. You'll be focused on caring for others this weekend, but when Neptune goes direct, it's a reminder to take care of yourself, too.
Heads up - there might be some tension on Thursday, December 12th. Venus goes head-to-head with retrograde Mars, which could lead to some bickering in your relationships. You don't want to ruin the good vibes from the weekend before, so keep prioritizing self-care.
Circle Sunday, December 15th, on your calendar. First, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct, which should clear up any communication mix-ups. If you've had any exes sliding into your DMs, they'll take the hint and back off. And if you've been the one hitting up an ex, let them be.
There's also a full moon in Gemini on the 15th, lighting up your 9th house of travel, learning, and spirituality. Full moons bring things to a head so you might have a big 'aha' moment around this time. Some Libras will feel called to church or connect with their ancestors. Others might want to do a tarot reading. Keep a journal by your bed to write down important dreams or insights.
The sun moves into Capricorn on December 21st, the Winter Solstice and the pagan holiday of Yule. Many Christmas traditions, like lighting candles and decorating trees, come from Yule. It's the shortest day of the year, making it perfect for cozying up with loved ones by the fire.
The sun will be in your 4th house of home and family for the next few weeks. If you have to see relatives this year and it's stressful, remember that your chosen family counts as family. Make sure to set aside time to hang out with them.
On December 29th, Chiron, the 'wounded healer,' ends its retrograde in your 7th house of partnerships. When Chiron goes direct, it brings healing to the area of life it's affecting.

If this weekend is your first chance to see your chosen family, know that you'll feel the love, even after a tough year.
The month ends with a new moon in Capricorn on December 30th, in your cozy 4th house. New moons are all about fresh starts. Spend this one planning to stay connected with your community in the new year.
Happy holidays, Libra! See you in 2025.
SCORPIO:
Scorpio, welcome to December and the last month of 2024! Last month, we discussed how Pluto, one of your ruling planets, settled into Aquarius, where it will stay for 20 years. This month is mostly about figuring out what family means to you during the craziness of the holidays.
December is all about stability and feeling grounded for you, Scorpio. You should focus on strengthening your relationships, money, and personal well-being. Take time for self-care and reflection. It's important to balance being practical with making time to relax and be creative.
Consider your willingness to spend, save, or invest as the month starts. Money and what you have to offer might be on your mind, with a new moon on December 1st affecting your finances and possessions. Be grateful for people who share with you, lend you money, or are generous with their time and energy. You might see a lot of generosity on the Gemini full moon on December 15th.
Importantly, starting Friday, December 6th, your other ruling planet, Mars, goes retrograde in Leo and your 10th house of career and reputation. First, know that Mars is all about sex drive. So it's normal if this affects your libido. Scorpios are known for being sexy, and that's great if it fits you. But if your sex drive goes up and down, know that it's normal. Since this happens in your 10th house, you might feel less motivated at work than usual. Instead of feeling bad about it, just let yourself be a little softer and gentler between now and February when Mars goes direct again.
Also, on December 6th, Venus, the planet of love, enters your 4th house of home and family. If you're in a new relationship, you might feel it getting deeper around this time as your partner starts to feel at home. And if you've been with someone for a while, a cozy weekend at home is just what you need to reconnect.
Adding to the mix, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing, joins Venus in your 4th house on Saturday, December 7th. To emphasize even more, this is one of the sexiest weekends of the year; also, on December 7th, dreamy Neptune ends its retrograde and goes directly into your 5th house of romance and fun. If you're in the mood, this makes things even hotter. Even if you're not feeling sexy, it encourages you to feel good in other ways, like trading massages with your partner or taking long bubble baths.
Circle Sunday, December 15th, on your calendar. A Gemini full moon is in your 8th house of intimacy and transformation. This could make some Scorpios feel extra frisky. If that's not your vibe, the mood is also great for a makeover, even if you're just playing around with new eyeshadow looks or nail art. Also, on December 15th, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes directly. This makes communication easier and helps make any holiday travel less stressful. It should also get any exes hitting you up to back off.
The sun moves into hardworking Capricorn on Saturday, December 21st, the Winter Solstice. It's the shortest day of the year and marks Yule, a Pagan holiday from which many Christmas traditions, like decorating trees and lighting candles, come. It's a time for relaxing with family over hot cocoa and yummy food. For the next few weeks, the sun is in your third house. This social vibe is perfect for catching up with friends and family.
On Sunday, December 29th, Chiron, the 'wounded healer,' ends its retrograde and goes directly into your 6th house of health and service. This brings some healing vibes. Since it's almost New Year's Eve, it's also the perfect time to reconnect with your chosen family after tough visits with relatives. The next day, Monday, December 30th, brings a new moon in Capricorn in your 3rd house. New moons are all about fresh starts. Without putting too much pressure on yourself, know that this is a great time to set goals for the new year.
Enjoy the holidays, Scorpio! See you in 2025.
SAGITTARIUS:
Sagittarius, welcome to December! Your birthday season ends this month, and so does 2024, but the end of the month is so positive that you won't even mind. Last month, we discussed how Pluto moved into Aquarius, where it will stay for 20 years. While you might still recover from November this month, your attention turns to making changes in your community and enjoying a romantic full moon.
December brings big emotions and a lot of self-reflection for you, Sagittarius. It's a time to really look inside yourself and understand your deepest desires and fears. Focus on caring for your emotional well-being and creating a peaceful home environment. Be open to getting support from loved ones, and be kind to yourself.
Get ready for attention on you and your personal life this month. You might be feeling introspective, thinking about what you know about yourself. December 1st is perfect for some navel-gazing, but other people play a big role in your journey. Consider different perspectives and your outlook on life. There are hints that you'll have major growth in your relationships.
The first big astrological event happens on December 6th, when Mars goes retrograde in Leo and your 9th house of travel and learning. Mars retrograde can affect your sex drive, so be easy on yourself if you notice changes in your libido between now and February. It can also make you less bold and assertive, which might sound un-Sagittarius-like, but it's just an excuse to relax. Since this is happening in your 9th house of travel, you'll probably want to spend this time unwinding at home instead of taking trips.
Also, on December 6th, Venus will enter your 3rd house of communication. Along with Mars retrograde, this suggests that the first weekend of the month is best spent relaxing at home with friends or a partner, doing something cozy like watching movies rather than having big, serious talks. The next day, on December 7th, the asteroid Ceres joins Venus in your 3rd house, encouraging you even more to chill out with art and entertainment (and it can be as lowbrow as you want).
Adding to the cozy vibes this weekend, also on December 7th, Neptune ends its retrograde and goes directly into your 4th house of home and family. With this fog lifted, you should feel less stressed, making it easier to relax at home.
Circle December 15th on your calendar. There's a bright full moon in Gemini, lighting up your 7th house of partnerships. It could take a new relationship to the next level. But sometimes full moons can make us feel anxious and on edge, so it's best to keep relaxing at home that night. Mercury ends its retrograde on the same day and goes direct, helping smooth out any tension.
The sun moves into hardworking Capricorn on the Winter Solstice, December 21st, the shortest day of the year. It's a night for cozy gatherings around the fire with family and friends. This date is also Yule, a pagan holiday from which many Christmas traditions come, like lighting candles and decorating trees. While you'll want to make plenty of time to relax, know that for the next few weeks, the sun is in your 2nd house of money and resources. Your ambitious Sagittarius side might want to push through the Mars retrograde and sneak off to make some business deals, but if you do, just don't forget about your friends.
Speaking of friends, while some of you might be traveling to see relatives and have a great time, know that the holidays can be hard for some people. No matter what, it's important to connect with your chosen family. Chiron, the 'wounded healer,' ends its retrograde and goes direct in Aries and your 5th house of fun and romance on December 29th. That could mean amazing sex with new or long-term partners, but it also just points to having a blast with your friends.
The month starts to wrap up with a new moon in Capricorn in your 2nd house on December 30th. New moons are all about fresh starts. While putting happiness first (and nothing unhappy), it's okay to use this day to think about changes you'd like to make in the new year. And make sure to celebrate, whether that means enjoying a chill night at home or partying with your favorite people. Have fun, Sagittarius! See you in January.
CAPRICORN:
Capricorn, welcome to December! Last month, we discussed how Pluto, the planet of big changes, was moving out of your sign and into Aquarius, where it will stay for 20 years. But on a more personal level, December sees the sun moving into your sign, kicking off your birthday season.
This month, you'll be focused on relationships and finding balance. You might feel the urge to make your connections deeper and stronger. It's a great time to work out any problems and try to understand each other better. Make sure to take time for self-care and keep your own balance, too.
Health, healing, and getting better might be big themes for you in December. Try to balance what you do for others with how you care for yourself, Capricorn. It's a busy time of year, and we could all benefit from pausing to focus on what matters most.
The Winter Solstice on December 21st marks the start of your birthday month, and you could find yourself surrounded by understanding friends. Remember, being confident in who you are and what you have to offer is okay. Let your inner circle focus on you as you welcome the New Year.
But first, on Friday, December 6th, Mars goes retrograde in your 8th house of intimacy and transformation. Mars is all about sex drive, ambition, and assertiveness. During this backward dance, you might notice changes in your libido. If this happens, just go with the flow. Mars retrograde, which lasts until the end of February, could also make you less interested in work than usual. If you are a workaholic, you can view Mars retrograde as a chance to step back and relax.
Also, on December 6th, Venus enters Aquarius and your 2nd house of possessions and self-worth. We can't make any promises in this economy, but Venus rules money, and when it's in your 2nd house, the stars feel generous. But Venus is mostly about love. Since your 2nd house also rules emotions, this first weekend could see you settling into a relationship, whether it's new or long-term.
The next day, Saturday, December 7th, the asteroid Ceres joins Venus in your 2nd house. This just emphasizes that this weekend will be very loving and cozy. Also, on December 7th, Neptune ends its retrograde and will go directly into your 3rd house of communication. It feels like a fog lifts when this happens. They should work themselves out if there have been any misunderstandings or arguments with friends or lovers.
These misunderstandings continue to get better when Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct on Sunday, December 15th. This also means that any holiday travel should be smoother. There's also a full moon in Gemini on December 15th. This moon phase, about things coming together, happens in your 6th house of health and service. It's a cosmic reminder to relax and enjoy some guilt-free pampering. Instead of worrying about your health, your 6th house just wants you to know it's okay to focus on looking and feeling good. Check out some beauty award winners for ideas on how to treat yourself.
The sun enters your sign on the Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 21st. Happy birthday, Capricorn! Make sure to find time to celebrate your special day between visiting family or friends for other winter holidays. The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, making it perfect for getting cozy. This date is also Yule, which you can think of as a Pagan Christmas. Many Christmas traditions, like decorating trees or lighting candles, started as Yule traditions.
Try to connect with your chosen family around Sunday, December 29th. Chiron, the 'wounded healer' asteroid, ends its retrograde and goes directly into your 4th house of home and family. This healing energy is perfect for connecting with friends after the stress that can come with seeing relatives. Even if you have a great relationship with your family, your friends might not, so making time for each other is important.
Finally, the month ends with a new moon in your sign on Monday, December 30th. New moons are perfect for fresh starts. So, while focusing on being happy, if you want, this is a great day to set intentions for the New Year. Have fun celebrating all the holidays this month, including your own Capricorn. See you in 2025!
AQUARIUS:
Aquarius, welcome to December! Last month, we discussed how Pluto, the planet of big changes, moved out of Capricorn and into your sign, where it will stay for 20 years. In November, many people were focused on global issues, and while you're still interested in helping your community (which is so Aquarius of you), your attention shifts to more personal matters this month.
December brings big shifts and transformations for you, Aquarius. It's a time to let go of old habits and focus on personal growth. You might feel more intense and passionate in your relationships and the things you're working on. Go with the changes and let yourself grow. Trust your gut as you navigate this time of transformation.
One of your natural talents is seeing the good in people and the world around you. With a focus on teamwork, relationships, and community, don't forget what you want and need. Make your desires known on December 15th, and find a balance between your own happiness and your social connections.
You might take more of a back seat as 2025 starts, taking a well-deserved break. Reset and recharge with some intentional downtime on December 30th and 31st.
On Friday, December 6th, Mars goes retrograde in your 7th house of partnerships. Mars is all about sex drive and ambition. When it goes retrograde, some people notice changes in their libido. If this happens to you, just be kind to yourself since it's in your 7th house. If you're feeling less motivated at work around this time, try to go with that, too, and give yourself some rest when you can. On the same day, December 6th, Venus enters your sign, Aquarius. This brings love and affection to all areas of your life, so your friendships and romantic relationships will feel extra sweet. Since Venus also rules beauty, it's a great day to pamper yourself with at-home spa treatments like a nice mani-pedi.
The next day, on Saturday, December 7th, the asteroid Ceres enters your sign too. This puts you in a giving, nurturing mood. It's a time for connecting with your community, a theme that sticks with you all month. Also, on December 7th, Neptune goes directly to Pisces and your 2nd house of money and possessions.

You might finally get some good news you've been waiting for or gain insight into how to manage your budget better.
On Sunday, December 15th, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct. Phew! This should ease any communication mix-ups, send exes packing, and smooth out travel plans just in time for the holidays. December 15th also brings a full moon in your fun, flirty 5th house. Even with Mars retrograde, it's a night that could lead to some steamy bedroom action. But sometimes, full moons can make us anxious, so you should stay in and have a cozy night at home instead.
The sun enters Capricorn on the Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 21st. This is the shortest day of the year, which means it'll be pretty dark if you're in the Northern Hemisphere. More cozy vibes! This date is also Yule, which you can consider Pagan Christmas. Many Christmas traditions, like decorating trees and lighting candles, come from Yule.
The month starts winding down when Chiron, the 'wounded healer' asteroid, enters your 5th house on Sunday, December 29th.

It's okay to make resolutions as long as they'll make you happy and not stressed out.
The sky goes dark with a new moon in Capricorn in your spiritual 12th house on Monday, December 30th. New moons are all about fresh starts.

Remember to trust your instincts, Aquarius. See you in 2025!
PISCES:
Pisces, welcome to December! Last month, we discussed how Pluto, the planet of big changes, moved out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, where it will stay until 2043. This is a huge deal that only happens once in a generation. But this month, you'll focus on more immediate things, like the importance of friends and taking care of yourself.
December is a time for you to focus on stability and making progress in your career, Pisces. You might feel a surge of ambition and determination to reach new goals at work.

This month, put yourself first, Pisces. No matter what's happening with your job, public image, home, or family, your needs can come first. On December 8th, Saturn and Neptune start moving forward in your sign, and the First Quarter Moon boosts you. Friends, social networks, and your social life are also in the spotlight - keep this in mind as you head into 2025. Thanks to your friends and the high spirits of your team, you'll feel confident about who you are.
Mars, the planet of action, goes retrograde in your 6th house of health starting Friday, December 6th and will stay there until the end of February. Mars retrograde is often linked to changes in sex drive. It's not sure, but if it happens, be kind to yourself and go with the flow. Mars retrograde can also make you feel less interested in work, so use it as an excuse to value work-life balance. Since it's happening in your 6th house, taking care of yourself is super important.
Also, on Friday, December 6th, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters Aquarius and your 12th house of the subconscious. This is a very spiritually expansive transit.

The next day, Saturday, December 7th, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing, moves into your 11th house of friendship. Later this month, many of you will travel to see blood relatives for the holidays. While some people have great relationships with their families, others don't. Ceres moving into your 11th house is a reminder to make time for your chosen family, too.
On Saturday, December 7th, Neptune, your ruling planet, enters your sign, Pisces. Neptune is the planet of dreams and imagination. When it ends its retrograde, it feels like a fog lifts. Once it's direct, you should gain clarity on something that's been bothering you. It can also make you even more spiritually tuned in.
You should circle Sunday, December 15th on your calendar. First, Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct. This further clears up misunderstandings.
