DECEMBER 2025
This is the month to tie up loose ends and prepare for something new in 2026. The second half of the month is better for taking action on the things you thought about in the first weeks. Uranus, Jupiter, and Chiron are still retrograde to keep you looking back. The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21.
I wish you a happy holiday season and a happy and healthy 2026.
December 1 – Moon in Aries. You wake up feeling the zippy energy of having many planets in fire signs. It’s a day to spread out and do what you thought about last month, but couldn’t start because of Mercury looking the other way. The track is clear, and you can run the race without bumping into obstacles. Take advantage of today to make a new beginning.
December 2 – Moon in Taurus. Make a budget for your holiday spending. Go over your bank account with a realistic eye. Think of buying gifts from craftspeople and artists in your community to support your local economy. Decide who on your list would like an experience, like tickets to the theater or a concert, or a magnificent plant, as a gift.
December 3 – Moon in Taurus. It’s a good day to find bargains in unexpected places. Go to stores that look interesting and let your senses make your shopping decisions. You want to feel the textures of what you buy. Buy ingredients for baking and freezing food gifts. Look for deals on restaurant gift cards. Check thrift stores and yard sales for treasures. You will find them today.
December 4 – Moon in Gemini. Today’s full Moon illuminates the mistakes you made while Mercury was retrograde. Your mind is sharp and agile, and you’ll see what you haven’t seen before, the things that were hidden. Find new ways to stay calm and to nourish and honor your nervous system. Reach out to your kin and discuss unresolved sibling rivalry that you’re aware of.
December 5 – Moon in Gemini. Get online and put in your orders. Shop for books, E-readers, magazine subscriptions, games, puzzles, and gift cards. Write personal messages on your holiday cards and mail them today. Take the books that you’ll never read again to the library for their book sale. It’s a good day to think about any presentations you will make next year and to make a first outline.
December 6 – Moon in Cancer. This is a lucky weekend when you can manifest your dreams. Help yourself by doing many acts of kindness. Pay attention to the needs of your family. Create coziness in your home. Go to antique stores to find objects that add to a loved one’s collections. Have a dinner party where you try out recipes from old cookbooks.
December 7 – Moon in Cancer. Be grateful and give thanks for the blessings in your life. Take time for prayer and meditation. Surprise an ill or housebound friend with a gift of fish, something to look at, or something to eat. Go swimming if you can. Contribute food to the food bank, and bring something you’ve made for people to snack on. Be careful that you don’t overeat; save the sweets for later in the month.
December 8 – Moon in Leo. You’re feeling generous and big-hearted. You will have few boundaries when you buy presents today, motivated by making others happy. Check out the jewelry stores for treasures while you bring your broken gold jewelry to sell while the price of gold is high. Hang out with the friends who make you happy.
December 9 – Moon in Leo. Let go of worries and negative thinking so you can have a happy day. Don’t let anyone hold you back from the fun of exploring and wandering in new places. You have too much energy to be shut up in an office or at home. Find creative outlets for this energy and surprise yourself with what you create. Buy the kids the toys they want.
December 10 – Moon in Virgo. Now you can get back to work. You can make lists of what you need to do and buy for the holidays, and when you will do it. Take care of the details that slipped through the cracks. Look around you to see what needs fixing, or make the decision to get rid of it. Do this on an inner level too. Neptune switched into direct motion this morning, which adds a spacy aura to the day.
December 11 – Moon in Virgo. Neptune feeds you with beautiful thoughts. He helps you make compassionate choices. Mercury then moves back into Sagittarius to lighten up your mind. You can look at the events of last month from a different perspective. Buy calendars, or make your own from your photos. Stock up on healthy foods and items for digestive upsets from eating too much.
December 12 – Moon in Libra. It’s a good day for the office holiday party. People want to socialize, be pleasant with each other, and enjoy the distraction from work. When you do work, it will go very well when in a team or with a partner. Bring flowers to share with co-workers, friends, and loved ones. You can negotiate when in a bind and find a good solution.
December 13 – Moon in Libra. Go with a friend to shop the holiday craft sales to find handmade scarves, knick-knacks, and other fun things. Buy beautiful clothes, for you and others, and pretty crystal jewelry. Go to art galleries to find something that brings you joy. Be ready to change plans when needed. Practice exercises that improve your balance.
December 14 – Moon in Libra. Make adjustments to today’s agenda so you can accept someone else’s ideas of how to have fun. It’s not a day to be serious. You’ll feel best when following the flow of the day. Surprise your partner with a special day – go to hear live music, to an art museum, or to a gourmet dinner. Honor the one you love by creating an adventure.
December 15 – Moon in Scorpio. Mars enters Capricorn, and it’s back to work. This is energy that helps boost your career and accomplish great things. You will be focused on your goals. Work by yourself as you don’t want to be interrupted once you get going. It’s a good day to do the research for your next projects. Relax with a good murder mystery.
December 16 – Moon in Scorpio. The Sun and Saturn check on you to see if you are up to speed with your cosmic assignments. It’s a day of reckoning when what you’ve ignored comes back in your face. Follow your intuition to know how to handle what happens. It’s a good day to intuit your next lessons. Buy Tarot cards, Ouija boards, I Ching, AstroDice, and other methods of divination to give as gifts.
December 17 – Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius. Write down last night’s dreams so you can remember the instructions in them. Do a deep dive into your psyche to discover why you feel upset. Talk with a trusted friend or therapist. Cut back on how much you are spending to reduce added stress. It’s a day to pull in and listen to your needs so you can stay healthy.
December 18 – Moon in Sagittarius. It’s the dark of the Moon, a tiring time. Finish up loose ends before you flee to the next distraction. Have good discussions with those who are interested in higher mind subjects – philosophy, sociology, and political theories. It’s a good day for a book club or travel club meeting. Get outside tonight with an astronomy app and appreciate what you see in the sky.
December 19 – Moon in Sagittarius. The new Moon occurs in the evening EST, so you may be able to see it. It emphasizes the positive qualities of Sagittarius – seeking truth, breaking down barriers between worlds and cultures, and a gift of prophecy. You’ll move quickly, but watch out for hasty action. Meditate on a candle flame, sending light to all souls as a beacon of hope.
December 20 – Moon in Capricorn. Today is the last day of Sagittarius. The Sun and Neptune ignite any conflict you have about your spiritual life. Investigate the teachings of a religion you are unfamiliar with. Listen to their music and prayers. Do acts of service today, give to others, donate time, money, and effort to enable those in need to have a happy holiday season.
December 21 – Moon in Capricorn. The Sun enters Capricorn at 10:03 am EST. It is the darkest day of the year, but also the pivot when the days begin to grow longer. Use this as a metaphor and let your inner light get stronger. Light candles and set your intentions for 2026. Shop for blankets, winter gear, snow shoes and snow shovels, and construction toys.
December 22 – Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius. It’s a good day to get organized for the holiday. If you are traveling, get your packing done to avoid last-minute stress. Double-check with your pet sitter. Shop for video games, online gift cards, more books, smoke alarms, and electronic equipment. Take care of any work you can finish so you don’t have it weighing on your mind.
December 23 – Moon in Aquarius. If you are still thinking about finding the perfect present, consider giving a gift of a donation to an organization that helps people. Sponsor a child. Try to reduce the focus on spending on things that fade in usefulness over time. Think of the big picture. Find time to be with your special group of friends, either in person or on Zoom.
December 24 – Moon in Aquarius. Venus enters Capricorn. She changes your mind about what you want to wear and how you want to behave for the holiday. She wants you to get serious about your career and make wise choices. Bring a big plan, a bunch of flowers, or a box of chocolates to someone you know who will be alone tomorrow.
December 25 – Moon in Pisces. Let today be a day of joy. Celebrate peace and kindness. Open your heart to your family and let tensions dissolve. If you are alone, volunteer to serve meals, distribute food, and gifts in shelters. Let the spiritual meaning of the day override the material. Call those dear to you and make them happy that you thought of them.
December 26 – Moon in Pisces. Relax with your family, and/or, your heart family, those people who are special in a karmic way. Save the cleaning up for tomorrow when you’ll have more energy. Give yourself time to meditate, do yoga, and listen to sacred music. Let the day be a holiday for your spirit. Listen to your inner voice as you think about 2026 – your dreams, goals, and plans.
December 27 – Moon in Aries. You need to break away and do what you want to do. Be a bit selfish so you can follow your impulses. There’s a lot of energy to be burned up; the gym will be busy. Get off on your own to bike, run, hike, or wander. You don’t want to be told what to do or have to follow any traditions. Keep your temper under control when you get annoyed.
December 28 – Moon in Aries. Your mind is thinking ahead, and you are ready to start new ventures. There’s an aura of “enough already” in the air. Take a first step if you can’t wait. Be cautious if you are returning from holiday travel as everyone is feeling impatient and wants to be there now. Play with your new toys, the ones that challenge you in some way.
December 29 – Moon in Taurus. It’s back to the reality of your life after experiencing the magic of the holidays. You will look around with a practical eye and see what is important and what isn’t. Pamper yourself with a massage, facial, crystal healing session, or sound bath. You need time to relax and reset your body after so much social activity.
December 30 – Moon in Taurus. Do a review of your financial situation. See what you spent this year and where you went off budget. Make a new financial plan for 2026, especially if you need to pay off debt. List the big ticket items you need to buy, expenses for home and car repair, and create a travel fund. Buy a bamboo money plant to bring you luck.
December 31 – Moon in Gemini. As the year ends, today’s energy pushes you to look to the future. It excites you to embrace what’s new, and to leave your fixed opinions behind. Dream big as you make your New Year’s resolutions. Go beyond your comfort zone when you think of your activities in 2026. Be with your friends, neighbors, and siblings to welcome in 2026.
