December
4 December – Full Moon in Gemini (Supermoon)
The Gemini Full Moon (cold moon) brings a peak in mental activity: conversations, messages, ideas, half-finished projects, all asking for attention at once. With the supermoon effect, everything feels closer to the surface; thoughts, worries, realisations you can’t push aside anymore and shouldn’t if truth be told rather than avoided.
This is a clearing point for stories you’ve been telling yourself all year. Notice where you’ve been over-explaining, over-thinking or trying to hold every option open. Gemini wants movement, but a Full Moon here can show you where constant movement has kept you stuck. Let this be a simple sorting process. What information, connection or plan travels with you into 2026, and what can be filed, completed or released?
10 December – Neptune Direct in Pisces
Neptune turning direct in Pisces softens the edges of things that have felt harsh or overly literal. Where there’s been fog, disillusionment or a sense of “what was that all about?”, the energy slowly starts to move again. Answers may not arrive in bullet points, but you could feel a change in the emotional weather, less stuck, able to breathe and let go.
This is quietly spiritual, not dramatic. It’s a moment to notice where you’ve been drifting or avoiding reality, and where you’ve actually been holding a true, soul-level longing. One is escapism, the other is guidance. Trust the difference, even if you can’t yet explain it to anyone else.
11 December – Mercury into Sagittarius
Mercury’s shift into Sagittarius tilts the mind towards meaning, truth and the bigger picture. Detail, admin and small print feel less appealing; exploration, learning and straight-talking feel more alive. This can bring honest exchanges that name the elephant in the room, or a rush of enthusiasm for plans that take you further than your current edge.
The shadow is bluntness, assumptions and speaking before listening. If you’re sharing strong opinions now, make sure they’re rooted in genuine inquiry rather than frustration. Used well, this is brilliant for mapping out your outlook for the year ahead, not just “what will I do?” but “what do I stand for?”
15 December – Mars into Capricorn
Mars moves into Capricorn and the energy becomes purposeful. Instead of scattered effort, there’s a push towards structure, discipline and tangible results. Even if motivation has been patchy, this can feel like a turning point, the appetite returns for actually doing the work, not just thinking or talking about it.
Mars in Capricorn is strategic. He wants a plan, a time frame and something to show for the effort. The potential gift here is sustainable progress; the potential hazard is harshness with yourself if you’re not “there” yet. Aim for steady, realistic steps. Let action be an act of self-respect rather than punishment.
20 December – New Moon in Sagittarius
The New Moon in Sagittarius plants seeds for growth in 2026. This isn’t about fine detail; it’s about direction of travel. Where do you want more freedom, alignment and honesty in your life? What beliefs have quietly expired, and what fresh understanding wants to take their place?
This lunation is ideal for intentions around study, teaching, travel, publishing or any path that widens your view. You don’t have to know the whole route. A simple statement of what you’re willing to explore, learn or live by is enough. Think of it as tuning your inner compass, rather than writing a rigid script.
21 December – Solstice (Sun into Capricorn)
The solstice turns the wheel and brings the Sun into Capricorn. In the northern hemisphere, this is the deepest point of the year: the pause before the light slowly returns. It carries a sober but not joyless quality, inviting you to look at the bones of your life , the structures, commitments and boundaries that hold you.
This is a natural time for review, but it doesn’t have to be dramatic. Small, grounded questions are powerful. What is no longer sustainable, what quietly works, and what might you build more of? Capricorn season favours patient effort and grown-up choices that match who you’ve become.
24 December – Venus into Capricorn
As Venus joins Mars in Capricorn, relationships, money and values come under this same steady, practical light. You feel more aware of who shows up consistently, where you feel safe and respected, and where the foundations need attention. Glitter fades, what lasts becomes more attractive.
Financially and creatively, this is good for long-term thinking, budgets, plans, commitments to your craft. Affection may be shown through reliability and practical care rather than big declarations. Take note of who and what you’re willing to work for, and where you’re no longer prepared to compromise your self-worth.
