December is a month of light, reflection, transition and and celebration.
It brings cherished holidays such as Hanukkah and Christmas, the winter solstice and the transition to the new year. World AIDS Day (December 1) The month begins with a day of awareness and solidarity. World AIDS Day is dedicated to honoring those affected by HIV/AIDS and promoting education, prevention and compassion around the world.
December 4 Full Moon in Gemini
Sort through your many ideas and organize them. This full moon will focus your attention on your mind, ideas, conversations and upcoming plans. Overwhelmed with information or indecisive? Clear your mind by meditating or not eating animal products for a few days, this way you will have a clear mind and will make the right decisions. You can’t do everything you want, sort through your desires and if necessary, give up some of them. Your heart and mind can be in harmony if you are honest with yourself about what still excites you and what it is that you do to impress others. Geminis like to start several projects without finishing them, don’t be like them! Leave the projects and ideas that you constantly talk about, but haven’t seriously started working on them. Choose one or two projects for the next 5-6 months and put the rest aside. When you finish them, then start a new one. Make a calendar and an action plan, follow it; if necessary, keep a diary with notes so that you don’t forget the most important things and follow your plan!
Big, emotional revelation
December 6th and 7th are two auspicious days for revelations and psychological insights, for strategic plans and disciplined actions leading to success, there are two favorable aspects of Mercury from Scorpio to Jupiter in Cancer, as well as Mercury to Saturn in Pisces, both in water signs. Your mind and your faith and hope are in sync. Emotions, intuition and deep psychological insights can fuel big ideas. This is an excellent aspect for planning, learning, writing and successfully implementing your plans.
December 8, Mars in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces.
Mars, the planet of action, courage and war, competes with Saturn, which sets limits and demands a plan and discipline. It’s strange, you may be blocked or stalled, but if you plan well, you can be productive and succeed. December 10, Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus This aspect brings unsettling thoughts, shocking news, sudden insights, or unexpected conversations. Your nervous system may feel tense. Expect disruptions to your plans and technology: have backups. If you’re irritated, pause, count to ten before sending messages or confronting someone. Write down sudden ideas; some of them could be genius changes. Avoid making big financial or contractual decisions in a moment of impatience and restlessness.
December 11 Mercury in Sagittarius
Mercury is in fall in Sagittarius, he doesn’t think well and doesn’t make good decisions, he sees the forest but not the trees. Mercury in Sagittarius is a wooden philosopher who flies in the sky, thinks that everything that flies is eaten, but doesn’t think that there are airplanes. In Sagittarius, the mind wants freedom and honesty, less drama and secrecy, as it was while traveling through Scorpio. Think beyond next week: what do the next 6–12 months look like? Learn something new, teach something that expands your worldview. Watch out for the tendency to be outspoken to the point of hurting your feelings. Reconsider big ideas or projects that you put off last month.
December 15 Mars in Capricorn
You have serious ambitions. Great! Mars entering Capricorn is one of the most productive placements. Mars in Capricorn is in exaltation (its highest position). The energy is disciplined, determined and focused. This is excellent for career, long-term projects and building something solid for 2026. Set clear, measurable goals for the next 5-6 and 12 months. Break big goals into steps and set dates. Prioritize consistency over intensity; small daily actions get complicated. Be consistent and disciplined, work hard and you will achieve the best results.
December 18-19 -Sagittarius Planetary Stellium, Sagittarius New Moon
New Beginnings, Grand Horizons. The Moon joins Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius, then becomes a New Moon in the same sign. This is a great package for faith, purpose, travel, education, expansion, and optimism. This is one of the best times of the month to set intentions for growth in 2026. Set intentions for travel, learning, business expansion, or spiritual growth. Say yes to experiences that expand your world. Update your “story” about who you are and what is possible for you. Use this New Moon to launch a project that requires faith and courage.
December 21- Capricorn Sun Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice (around December 21) marks the longest night of the year and the return of light, celebrated in many cultures with rituals of renewal. It’s time to get serious about work. The Sun moves into Capricorn, and the mood shifts from “exploration” to “execution.” This is classic “New Year’s Eve” energy: strategy, structure, accountability, and long-term building. You’re invited to act like the CEO of your own life. Review your accomplishments from 2025 and acknowledge what you’ve actually accomplished. Choose 1–2 serious goals for 2026 instead of 20 vague resolutions. Build routines that support your ambitions, not fight them. Take your boundaries seriously—with work, family, and yourself.
December 24 -Venus in Capricorn
A serious attitude towards love and money. Venus’s transit into Capricorn brings a more mature, pragmatic tone to relationships and finances. Effort, reliability and long-term potential become more attractive than drama or fantasy. Conclusions: Choose partners, collaborators and clients who show up consistently. Rework your budget with long-term stability in mind. Show love through actions: support, reliability, concrete help. Invest your time and energy where there is commitment, mutual feelings and shared plans, not just physical attraction.
Christmas (December 25)
Perhaps the most widely recognized December holiday, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ for Christians, while embodying themes of generosity, family and joy. Traditions include decorating trees, exchanging gifts and festive gatherings.
December 30 -Mental fatigue, serious thinking
Mercury in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces. The mind feels like it’s hitting a wall. Doubts and criticism (external or internal), delays or tough conversations can weigh you down. This is not here to break you; it’s to test your plans and beliefs one more time before the new year. Give your brain a break: sleep, rest, walks in the fresh air, meditation. Review your plans for 2026 and correct them: what is realistic, what is fantasy? Take advantage of constructive criticism; ignore negativity. Turn anxiety into structure: lists, schedules, a written strategy. You will have a stable finish if you have a clearer path and a precise strategy.
New Year’s Eve – Cheerful and Chatty
On December 31st, the year ends with the Moon harmonizing with Saturn in Taurus, then at 9 am, the Moon moves into sociable and cheerful Gemini. New Year’s Eve ends December with reflection on the past year and hopeful anticipation for the year ahead. Disciplined and practical, satisfied with our achievements, on New Year’s Eve we change our mood to a lighter, chatty tone. We feel firmly on the ground, but at the same time ready to have fun and welcome the New Year 2026 with childlike playfulness. Let’s base our New Year’s plans with reality: with simple, achievable steps. Let’s spend time with people who feel safe, kind, but also stimulate our minds.
December is more than a holiday season – it is a month of remembrance, renewal and connection. From solemn celebrations to joyful celebrations, it reminds us of the shared traditions and collective hopes of humanity as we enter the new year.
Let us remember what 2025 taught us. Let us not forget the difficulties and celebrate our successes! Let us enter the New Year 2026 with fewer illusions, with more structure and improved faith and optimism in goodness and in love! Let us base our New Year’s plans on reality, let them be simple and achievable. Let us spend time with people who feel safe and calm, with whom we have common goals that help us live in peace with ourselves and with others.
