December Astrology Forecast
1st Dec
New Moon in Sagittarius
A New Moon in Sagittarius during Mercury retrograde combines the expansive, forward-thinking energy of Sagittarius with Mercury retrograde's reflective and introspective vibe. While Sagittarius encourages setting bold intentions for growth, adventure, and learning, Mercury retrograde asks for a pause, urging us to reexamine past plans and refine our visions. It’s a time to dream big but also ensure your foundations are solid by revisiting previous ideas, clarifying goals, and tying up loose ends. Miscommunications or delays might arise, but these are opportunities to realign with your deeper truth. Trust the process, embrace patience, and focus on thoughtful actions that pave the way for long-term success.
2nd Dec
Venus trine Uranus
Today’s transit brings excitement and unexpected opportunities in relationships, finances, creativity, and personal values. You may feel a desire for freedom and authenticity, breaking out of your routine and exploring new experiences. Embrace spontaneity, be open to change, and trust your instincts when something unconventional yet intriguing comes into your life. You have the green light to experiment with self-expression, trying something new in your appearance, or approaching relationships with a more open and adventurous mindset.
4th Dec
Sun square Saturn, Mercury opposition Jupiter, Venus sextile Neptune
The day brings a mixed bag of energies, balancing challenges with opportunities for creativity and growth. You may feel a sense of pressure or frustration, pressing you to confront responsibilities and be disciplined. While mental tension or overthinking might be triggered, this energy also encourages re-evaluating long-term plans and seeking clarity about your goals. Meanwhile Venus sextile Neptune softens the influence and invites you to dream, connect with your imagination, and be compassionate towards yourself or others. Use the day to find a balance between facing reality and allowing yourself the freedom to envision what could be, blending practicality with creativity.
6th Dec
Sun conjunct Mercury (Mercury cazimi)
The Sun meets Mercury retrograde today, bringing clarity amidst the reflective energy of Mercury retrograde. Ideas, insights, and truths might get illuminated that might have previously been clouded. It’s an excellent time for rethinking, revising, and rediscovering areas of your life that need refinement or a fresh perspective. Messages or realizations from the past may resurface, offering a new perspective.
To make the most of this celestial event, use the day to journal, brainstorm, or meditate on issues that require deeper insight. Be open to revisiting old conversations or projects, as breakthroughs or aha moments are likely. However, proceed with patience and avoid rushing decisions—clarity gained now is meant to guide your steps, not necessarily demand immediate action.
6th Dec
Mars goes retrograde
Mars goes retrograde in Leo! Expect a period of reevaluating how you express your personal power, creativity, and leadership. Retrogrades slow down Mars' fiery, action-oriented energy, redirecting it inward. Reflect on how you assert yourself, revisit your creative projects, and address unresolved conflicts related to pride or self-worth. You might feel a temporary dip in motivation or face obstacles that test your patience and resilience, but these challenges are invitations to recalibrate (as with any retrograde!) your approach and refine your goals.
To make the best of this time, focus on revisiting unfinished projects, particularly those related to creative expression or leadership. Use the retrograde energy to assess where you’ve been pushing too hard or relying too much on external validation, and shift toward actions that feel authentic and aligned with your inner fire. Cultivating patience and avoiding unnecessary drama will help you emerge from this transit with renewed clarity and purpose.
7th Dec
Venus enters Aquarius, Venus conjunct Pluto, Sun opposition Jupiter, Mercury square Saturn
There is an urge to confront tough conversations, or mental roadblocks today. This transit may highlight where we've been overly optimistic or overlooking critical details, forcing us to face the facts. It can feel like a mental slowdown, with delays or misunderstandings, but it’s actually an opportunity to refine our plans and communication. Be patient with yourself and others. Instead of rushing through tasks, focus on clarity and precision. Embrace the discipline by double-checking your work, setting realistic expectations, and being open to constructive criticism.
There’s a mix of depth, intensity and tension in the air. The Venus-Pluto conjunction, newly in Aquarius, points to deep shifts in relationships, values, and desires for freedom or growth. This transit encourages deep emotional transformation, urging people to confront hidden truths, power dynamics, or attachments in their personal connections. It's a potent time for facing fears around intimacy and letting go of control, allowing for more authentic and liberated connections.
Simultaneously, the Sun opposing Jupiter can amplify your desires, optimism, or your drive to expand—but it may also lead to overextending or encountering challenges. Together, these transits ask for self-awareness and balance. Use the Venus-Pluto energy to reassess your priorities and emotional investments with honesty, and the Sun-Jupiter tension to ground your ambitions in realistic next steps. Growth is possible, but it might require some adjustments and alignment with your deeper truths.
12th Dec
Venus opposition Mars
Venus opposes Mars Retrograde today, and it might bring conflicts in relationships, as unresolved frustrations resurface. Mars Retrograde encourages revisiting past patterns of assertiveness, passion, and conflict, while Venus emphasizes harmony, beauty, and connection. Focus on balancing your needs with those of others. Reflect on where you’ve been compromising too much or, conversely, pushing too hard. Use this time to revisit and heal past relational issues, and communicate honestly. Though it may feel intense, this transit offers a chance to realign your relationships with authenticity and mutual respect.
13th Dec
Mercury Rx sextile Venus
Today is a time for revisiting conversations from the past, re-opening old creative projects, or reconnecting with people from the past. Relationships may benefit from some reflection. Any artistic projects could take on a nostalgic direction, and you can draw inspiration from past experiences.
Sslow down and focus on meaningful conversations and creative exploration. Avoid rushing decisions, especially in matters of love or money, as we are still in Mercury retrograde. This is a beautiful moment to refine ideas, express feelings authentically, and rediscover what brings you joy and connection.
14-15th Dec
Mercury Rx trine Mars Rx
When Mercury and Mars (both retrograde!) form a trine, the energy shifts inward, encouraging reflective action and communication. This influence supports editing past plans or rethinking strategies that involve assertiveness, courage, and clear expression. There’s a rare opportunity to fine-tune your approach, reconnect with ideas that were previously paused, and resolve misunderstandings. While the trine’s harmonious energy facilitates progress, the retrograde influence emphasizes the importance of patience and introspection. Avoid impulsive decisions.
15th Dec
Mercury direct
Mercury finally goes DIRECT so we can say goodbye to this challenging winter retrograde period overlapping with Mars Rx. Some final hick-ups might take place, as this shift resembles the changing of the gears of a car - we might feel a final shake up before we continue on our path straight ahead. The confusion and fog surrounding miscommunication, delays and travel begin to disappear making space for more mental clarity. It’s a time to integrate lessons learned during the retrograde and revisit paused plans with our new insights. To make the most of this energy, approach unresolved issues with a clear mind, double-check details, slowly flow forward without rushing.
Full Moon in Gemini
The Full Moon in Gemini brings a powerful culmination point in communication, learning, and connections. It’s a moment to reflect on what you’ve learned and express gratitude for the growth you've achieved in the last 6 months (since the New Moon in Gemini). With Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, going direct on the same day, this lunation provides clarity and resolution. It's a time to celebrate breakthroughs in communication, release old mental blocks or patterns, and make room for fresh insights. Use this moment to express your truth, strengthen connections, and appreciate the lessons learned during Mercury's retrograde period.
