There is lots going on as we start December, with a Gemini Full Moon on the 4th, and Neptune turning direct in Pisces on the 10th.

This is a magical time, so release the pressure and lean into the excitement. The Solstice is the 21st, as the Sun enters Capricorn, and then Venus too on Xmas Eve. Xmas Day is nostalgic and dreamy with the Moon in Pisces, so grab yourself a tipple and celebrate the holiday with those who matter.
Enjoy your festive horoscopes below and have a great week ahead.
Aries
December makes a dramatic entrance with a Full Moon in Gemini in your 3rd house of local area, siblings, communication, and travel, so you will be busy during the first few days, perhaps helping others, talking, or running around. You might long for some personal time, to meditate or unwind, so as the first week wraps up, so turn your phone on silent and go incognito. Neptune turns direct during the second week, clearing up confusion around your inner world and hidden enemies, and helping you feel clearer and more at peace. You might find out some secrets, or it could be you who is blowing the lid on a mystery, or exposing a truth. Mars shifts into your zone of career and pubic image mid-month, helping you shimmy up the corporate ladder, or get noticed for your drive, dynamism, and results. Sun enters here too on the 21st, the Solstice, then Venus, but you may doubt yourself or hold yourself back. Realising you do have support and a firm foundation helps you move past this as Xmas approaches, with the Pisces Moon on Xmas Day gently coaxing you out of your shell. You end 2025 with your sights set on your career goals for 2026. Watch out, world, Aries is coming.
Taurus
You have erratic Uranus moving back through the end of your sign, making you squirm with excitement and a desire to get December started. You love the decadence of Christmas, and a Full Moon on the 4th in your house of resources has you making a Xmas budget and planning how you are going to afford it all. Mercury’s trine to Jupiter and Saturn helps you work on your invite list, and by the 10th, when Neptune turns direct, you will know who you want to spend the holiday with. You may want an intimate gathering of your closest loved ones, so start planning early. Mercury moves out of your partnership zone, finally, giving you clearer communication and helping you make yourself heard. Mars enters Capricorn, your 9th house, so you will feel expansive and adventurous after the 15th, and Venus helps you unwind with some self-care on the 18th. The New Moon on the 20th fires up a new cycle in your zone of sharing and merging with others, making you extra generous as you finish off your shopping. Solstice Day, the Sun shifts into sombre Capricorn, freeing your mind to dream and plan, even if you’re not ready to share the vision with others yet. Xmas Day, the Pisces Moon has you feeling connected, and you end the year ready to make your dreams happen.
Gemini
The Full Moon in your sign on the 4th might feel emotional, as you close up the year and realise how much you have changed over the last 12 months. Others may tell you that you are not the same person, and they’re right, Gemini. You may doubt where you fit in now, but Mars says it is with those who know your worth, so step away from anyone who is still attached to the old you. Neptune direct in Pisces helps you see who matters, and where you belong, and Mercury brings new people into your sphere, to help you elevate further. You’re hungry for knowledge mid-month, and you find solace in connecting with others. Mars enters your 8th house on the 15th, helping you transform and clear clutter in time for the big day. A New Moon in your 7th house, conjunct the powerful Galactic Centre, spells great news for your love life on the 20th, and you could connect with someone new or enjoy a spiritual deepening of your bond with a current amour. The Sun enters your dynamic eighth house, and Venus too, so you want an intimate Xmas with just a few close ones around. The Xmas Moon in Pisces arrives to help you get out and socialise, and you end the year determined to showcase your new persona fully in 2026.
Cancer
A Full Moon on the 4th may make you feel vulnerable or emotionally raw, but as soon as we hit the weekend, you bounce back by getting busy and getting your Christmas show on the road. By the 10th, you are ready to lean into your Christmas vision, and the excitement starts building as Neptune turns direct. Mercury now direct in your 5th house of fun helps you stay light-hearted as he picks up forward motion, and connections to Uranus and Pluto help you get things off your chest politely. Mercury helps you get organised after the 11th, and clear up any last issues that belong in 2025. The New Moon on the 20th shows you where to focus your energy and enables you to streamline your routine and health schedule so you have more zest and energy. Keep focused on your goals at Solstice, as the Sun shifts into Capricorn, and you feel like getting cosy with your partner. Venus and Mars enter your partnership zone too, giving you opportunities to be others’ couple goals at Xmas, with your matching pyjamas and cheesy grins. This is your best time of year for love, and you love spoiling your loved ones, so get ready to go all in when the Pisces Moon on Xmas Day helps you bring the vision to life. At New Year, Mars helps you set the stage for action in 2026.
Leo
The Gemini Full Moon in your 11th house helps you connect with new people and mingle in new circles, so get out there and co-create, Leo. The Sun is in your 5th house until the 21st, so you are feeling good and ready to celebrate. A square to the North Node might help you see where you want to join forces with others, and you will be most attracted to people on your wavelength, who can build an empire with you. Neptune turns direct on the 10th, helping you feel healed, spiritually attuned, and focused. You may have a home/work conflict around the 10th, but it won’t slow your progress or dampen your good mood as you take it in your stride. Mars enters Capricorn mind-month, which is your zone of daily routines and health, so you may feel more vibrant and energetic. You may clear out some outdated duties from your schedule and free up more time for yourself, especially around the 17th if you are feeling stretched. The New Moon on the 20th, conjunct the Galactic Centre in Sagittarius, opens a brand new cycle in your creativity, your fertility, and your sense of joy, and this will be an excellent week for you to let loose and enjoy some time off. The next day, which is the Solstice, the Sun shifts into Capricorn, and you take your health more seriously while still letting off steam, of course. Xmas Day feels deep and meaningful for you this year, and you end 2025 making a list of New Year’s resolutions that will kickstart your health and vitality to new levels.
Virgo
You feel set for a cosy Xmas at home as we kick off December, perhaps you are busy with home-related projects, like decorating in time for the holiday and sprucing up your abode. The Full Moon on the 4th shines a spotlight on your public life and home life balance, so you can work through any tensions and get everyone on the same page regarding plans and who is doing what. You might even get a big clearout underway in the first week or two, or perhaps you are clearing out trauma or childhood patterns that keep you stuck in old timeloops. Neptune turning direct on the 10th helps you feel more connected to loved ones, especially a partner, and you may feel less confused about your feelings for someone special. You may be travelling or thinking about it around this time, and by the 11th, when Mercury shifts into Sagittarius, you will feel more settled about where to spend the festive season. Mars shifts too, on the 15th, raising your vibe and making you a magnet for fun and frivolity. Xmas is a special time for you, with planets in your 5th house of celebrating, and you are sure to be popular as everyone scurries to make sure you’re on the guest list. When Venus shifts too, on Xmas Eve, you will feel full of Xmas spirit, and be ready to make it a Xmas to remember. The Xmas Day Moon in your opposite sign has you feeling romantic, generous, and giving, and by New Year, you could even be changing your relationship status, or be ready to. Oh la la Virgo!
Libra
December opens in its usual festive frenzy for you, with several planets in Sagittarius, your zone of local travel, siblings, and staying in touch. A Full Moon in Gemini, a fellow air sign, has your thinking and planning on overdrive, and you may be dreaming big or planning a long-distance trip or move. Your energy might feel low around the 5th, but there’s good financial news that concerns your career prospects on the 6th. Try to squeeze some rest in on the 9th, or you may feel drained. Neptune shifts to direct on the 10th, clearing out fog and lethargy from your health routines and helping you raise your vibration naturally. Mercury shifts into Sag on the 11th, and you get busier, with lots to catch up with and many errands to run. You don’t mind, though, as you love this time of year, showing off your impeccable organisational skills and attention to detail. Others can only watch in admiration as you whizz about, and as Mars and Venus enter Capricorn, your 4th house, you are ready to bring it all together in sumptuous style that guarantees you are the hostess with the mostest, dear Libra. By Solstice, you may be exhausted, but jubilant, as you prepare the finishing touches, going out of your way to ensure everything is perfect, so that by Xmas Eve, you can relax with a well-earned tipple and survey all that you have done with pride. The powerful New Moon helps you feel invincible, and you will feel content by Xmas Day when it all comes together. By the New Year, you turn your attention to finding a better balance in your life.
Scorpio
Money might be on your mind as December opens, and you could be feeling the pinch with the Gemini Full Moon in your 8th house of generosity. Make a list and budget, especially with the planets in your finance zone, helping you plan your spending. Don’t go overboard on the 5th, especially at social events, and make sure you plan some treats that don’t have to cost a fortune. Mercury is still in your sign until the 11th, moving faster day by day, and helping you to communicate clearly and express yourself with truth and honesty. You could feel spiritually in tune around the 6th, or you may get a download or vision that changes everything for the better. Watch out for cross words with close ones on the 10th, keep things lighthearted and avoid any angry bears. Neptune direct helps you feel more joy and creativity, and this will improve your mood and raise your vibe so that creating comes naturally. Mars and Venus enter Capricorn in the third week of December, bringing more spark to your life and helping you get out and about more as you finalise your holiday plans. The Sagittarius New Moon on the 20th again lights up your finances, so prepare to take off in 2026 with new ways of bringing in money that make you more fulfilled. Xmas Day is likely to be full of love, laughter, and good cheer with the Pisces moon lighting up your 5th house of having fun. By the New Year, you are ready to take on new challenges around expressing your true creativity and bringing more happiness into your life.
Sagittarius
You’re the life and soul of the party as December gets underway, with the Sun, Venus, and Mars in your sign. Your energy is high, and you are being noticed, so the Full Moon on the 4th in Gemini, your opposite sign, might have partners clamouring for some of your attention. You might have a nice snuggle date at home planned on the 5th, so you can lavish them with attention and make up for how busy you’ve been lately. There might be deep conversations to be had over the first weekend of December, but you’ll feel glad once you get it out of the way. Neptune’s direct motion on the 10th helps you feel more grounded, and life will settle back down, although watch out for gossip at work on the 11th, as others notice your glow. Mercury moves to your sign on the 11th, giving you the gift of the gab, while Mercury gives your words conviction and meaning, so people listen and take note. Mars shifts too on the 15th, helping you boost your finances in time for the big day. You may feel like laying low at home on the 17th, but a powerful New Moon in your own sign and at the powerful Galactic Centre rejuvenates you inside and out. This New Moon, on the 20th, is your portal to another world and will represent the moment you step forward to claim your destiny. Venus leaves your sign on Xmas Eve, and the Xmas Day Moon in Pisces helps you feel fuzzy and connected to family and friends. By New Year, you could be planning a move or a project at home, and you are pleased with all that you are building.
Capricorn
You are in need of extra rest and rejuvenation as December begins, with Sun, Venus, and Mars hanging out in your 12th house of seclusion and taking a break. Heavy energy surrounds you as you close out old cycles and get ready for your rebirth later this month, when the planets make their way into your sign and bring you to the forefront just in time for Xmas. The Full Moon on the 4th lights up your 6th house of trying to do everything, and you may need to pay extra care and attention to your health at the end of the week, or risk getting burnt out. You seem to be doing too much, so plan your time carefully to avoid the frazzle, and let friends help if you can. There seems to be lots going on around you, perhaps family visiting, or more places to go, and your energy levels might not feel on top, so go easy. Neptune turning direct on the 11th clears up confusion around you, and you will be able to communicate better and reach a better understanding. Mercury moves to your 12th house, so you feel introspective, even poetic, as the new fiery energy of Sagittarius inspires you. You will feel loads better by mid-month, when the Sun trines Chiron, and your past pain finally fades into the background. Mars enters your sign first, raising your drive and get up and go on the 15th, and a New Moon on the 20th in your 12th house helps you close the door to the past for good. Now you are ready, and Xmas Day brings wonderful collaborative and social vibes, with the Pisces Moon helping you unwind with loved ones. By New Year, you are raring to go with personal plans, and getting ready to be seen and heard in 2026!
Aquarius
Aren’t you the social butterfly as December opens with a flurry of planets in your sociable 11th house of networking, groups, and social circles, Aquarius. As you flit and flatter around, others are noticing your swag and wondering what you got going on to be making such impact. The Gemini Full Moon on the 4th has all eyes on you as you bask in your blessings and let the good times roll. It’s December, darling, and for you that means celebration and a time of catching up with those you have missed. You might pause between engagements to consider the cost around the 5th, but only for a second, as you’ve got some ideas that just might work. One might be a new job or promotion, so keep your ears to the ground in early December, and get ready to step up should an opportunity arise. On the 10th, Neptune shifts forward, helping you feel more confident around your money and worth, and a link to Mercury in your career zone puts you in the spotlight. Pluto in your sign is giving you determination and mettle, so walk tall and claim it. Around mid-month, Mars enters Capricorn, your 12th house, so your energy may dip or you may feel done with the crowds and bustle. Try and do your shopping ealy in the month to avoid this, or hop online and grab a bargain that way. By the Solstice, Sun enters your 12th house too, and you feel ready to switch off and rejuvenate. The Pisces Moon on Xmas Day helps you feel loved and valued, and by New Year, you are making a plan for a healthier, wealthier 2026 where you feel more secure.
Pisces
You are focused on your career and public image as December starts, with Sun, Mars, and Venus lighting up your career sector and helping you succeed. The Full Moon on the 4th is in your zone of home, so matters to do with property or family may take your time or attention. You want to get stuff out the way, like your shopping, and preparation, so you might be busy in the first week or two, sorting everything out and making plans. Mercury helps you see long range, and focus on the bigger picture, and you are able to whistle while you work and get things ticked off nicely. Work might get busy too around the 9th, and Neptune turning around to face forward in your sign on the 11th is a welcome sign that the feelings of doubt and confusion of recent months will soon clear up. You feel more spiritually connected and expressive now, realising your words you speak hold vibration, and that includes words you speak about yourself, Pisces, which created delays in your progress. With your new understanding, you are ready to create the reality you want with your thoughts, and boost your self-confidence by believing in yourself. Mid month your focus shifts to your friends and networks, and you will proudly show off the new you to your circle, confident in who you are and the blessings you hold. This magic continues right through Xmas, and the Moon in your sign on Xmas Day puts you in the cosmic spotlight and allows you to bask in the glow of contentment. You end the year ready to show up in the world in a new way, one that attracts more success and recognition.
