December starts with supportive relationship energy and clearer communication. A helpful Grand Water Trine brings flow, making it easier to finish projects and resolve emotional matters. Mid-month brings some fogginess, mixed signals and sudden shifts, but these moments push you to rethink plans and regain clarity. Around the solstice, things get more serious. Reality checks come in, and you’re asked to focus on what’s achievable rather than ideal. The holiday period feels emotional and spiritual. December may be demanding at times, but it brings important clarity and prepares you for a more focused new year.

Early December

Relationships take the lead. On 2^nd December, Venus in Sagittarius and Pluto in Aquarius form a sextile and support honest conversations and emotional depth. The Full Moon in Gemini (4^th December) encourages open dialogue - even about things you’ve avoided. At the same time, Mars in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, making it easier to address old wounds or misunderstandings.

6^th– 7^th December

Mercury in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces form a Grand Water Trine - a genuinely productive window. These days are ideal for finishing projects, organising plans, or resolving family matters. There may be some resistance shortly after: Mars squares Saturn on 9^th December, bringing delays, frustration, or limits that force you to adjust your pace.

10^th– 11^th December

Expect a faster pace and some unpredictability.
Mercury’s aspects to Lilith, Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces create sudden changes, emotional swings, and information overload. Neptune turns direct on the last degree of Pisces on 10^th December, adding to the lack of clarity. Once Mercury enters Sagittarius, there’s a shift toward more direct but scattered communication. Set boundaries and avoid absorbing every piece of news or emotion around you.

14^th– 15^th December

Mars squares Neptune - low energy, vague motivation, and a need for rest.
After Mars moves into Capricorn on the 15^th, determination and discipline return.

17^th December

The Sun–Saturn square highlights responsibilities, limits and practical concerns.
Focus on what you can control.

20^th – 21^st December

The Sagittarius New Moon on December 20^th brings a desire for renewal, learning and meaning. Around the solstice, tensions rise: the Sun and Venus square Saturn and Neptune, and Jupiter squares Chiron. This can bring disappointment, frustration or a sense that ideals don’t match reality. It’s a time to adjust expectations and take ownership of your happiness.

21^st December onward

As the Sun enters Capricorn, the energy becomes more grounded.
Planning, structure and clear priorities take centre stage.

24^th December

Venus enters Capricorn and squares Neptune. This can create longing, nostalgia, or romantic idealism. It’s emotional, atmospheric and can feel deeply symbolic around the holidays.

28^th– 30^th December

Mercury trine Chiron supports honest and healing conversations.
On 30^th December, Mercury squares Saturn - a reminder to communicate clearly, choose your words carefully and set limits.
