THE ASTROLOGY BLOG
The cosmic dynamics are marked by a mix of retrogrades, planetary sign changes, and key lunar cycles, all of which invite us to balance optimism with grounded action. Let’s explore what the cosmos has in store!
New Moon in Sagittarius (1st December): This adventurous lunation inspires bold vision-setting. It’s a powerful time for expanding your horizons and aligning with your highest truth, but Mercury retrograde urges you to ensure clarity before making significant commitments.
Full Moon in Gemini (15th December): Dual energies highlight the balance between curiosity and focus. Reflect on how your ideas have evolved since the start of the lunar cycle, and address any communication dynamics that need resolution.
New Moon in Capricorn (30th December): Grounded and pragmatic, this New Moon is perfect for setting intentions rooted in discipline and long-term stability. Use this energy to structure your goals for the year ahead!
LUNAR CYCLE
Venus enters Aquarius (7th December): Love and social connections take on a unique, unconventional flavour. Embrace innovation in relationships and value systems, focusing on equality and freedom.
Sun enters Capricorn (21st December): The Solstice brings a shift towards practicality, discipline, and goal-setting. This marks a time to reflect on achievements and plan for sustainable growth.
PLANETARY TRANSIT
Mercury in Sagittarius RX (1st–15th December): Miscommunications and travel delays may surface, so review your plans and practice patience. Use this period to reflect on your beliefs and refine your long-term visions.
Mars in Leo RX (6th December–1st January): Energy may feel lower, and frustrations could arise, especially in creative pursuits or leadership roles. Use this time to reassess how you assert yourself and your goals.

SIGN BY SIGN
We suggest you to read your horoscope for your Sun and Rising sign.
Aries: With the North Node in your sign and Chiron receiving significant transits, this month is ideal for healing emotional wounds and reconnecting with your purpose. Retrogrades in fire signs may bring frustration; use this time to refine your plans and prioritise self-care.
Taurus: Transits between Venus (your ruler) and slower-moving planets offer unexpected opportunities in finances and relationships. However, squares with Uranus suggest adapting to unforeseen changes. Seek stability while staying open to flexibility.
Gemini: Your ruler, Mercury, is retrograde until the 15th, encouraging deep reflection on long-term goals. The Full Moon in your sign on the 15th illuminates areas in need of balance. Communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
Cancer: With Venus in Capricorn opposing Mars in Leo, relationships and emotional security come under scrutiny. Use this period to evaluate your boundaries and needs. The Sun in Capricorn after the 21st highlights important commitments.
Leo: Mars retrograde in your sign might temporarily lower your energy. Focus on reevaluating personal projects instead of launching new initiatives. The New Moon in Sagittarius on the 1st brings inspiration for creative goals.
Virgo: With Mercury retrograde, focus on organisation and avoid overloading your schedule. Venus transits bring favourable moments in relationships, but tensions from squares call for flexibility in handling unexpected challenges.
Libra: With Lilith in your sign and tense aspects with Venus, this month challenges you to let go of old patterns in relationships. Balance your desire for harmony with authenticity. The Gemini Full Moon highlights opportunities to expand your social network.
Scorpio: Capricorn energy late in the month supports your professional goals. Retrogrades of Mercury and Mars urge careful attention to detail before making major decisions. Use this time to deepen personal and strategic projects.
Sagittarius: With multiple lunations and transits in your sign, December is a pivotal month for you. The New Moon on the 1st offers an emotional reset and renewed motivation, while Mercury retrograde invites you to rethink your beliefs and future plans. Be patient with delays.
Capricorn: Venus in your sign enhances your charisma, but squares with Uranus suggest adjustments in relationships. The New Moon in your sign on the 30th marks a powerful new beginning, perfect for setting long-term goals.
Aquarius: With Pluto firmly in your sign, December encourages you to embrace personal transformation. Venus entering your sign on the 7th emphasises the importance of meaningful and authentic connections.
Piscis: Saturn continues its journey through your sign, urging consolidation of personal structures. Transits of the Sun and Venus bring introspection around relationships and finances. Use this time to set intentions from a place of emotional clarity.
Navigate this month with patience and flexibility. Retrogrades and tense aspects offer opportunities to review and improve, while lunations and key transits promise new beginnings as the month ends.
Work with the cosmic energies of December to close the year 2024 with insight and purpose, preparing for an empowering start to the new year!
