December 2027 ends the year on a high

Saturday, December 11 scores 79: the highest of any Saturday in 2027.Alexander Jamieson, A Celestial Atlas, 1822 · US Naval Observatory Library

Try this today

  • December 11 has about three void hours in the UTC day. Check them in the planner and set the ceremony around them.
  • 12/12/27 is a Sunday and rates Good, if you want the pretty number.
  • New Year's Eve 2027 is a Friday, rated Fair: the Moon is void for about nine hours of the UTC day.

If April is booked, look at December. For the whole month, Mercury, Venus and Mars are direct, and the nearest eclipse is not until January 2028.

After the new moon of November 28, the Moon waxes through Aquarius, Pisces and Aries and reaches Taurus on the weekend of the 10th. Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11 both rate Best. On the Saturday the Moon's next aspect is a trine to Jupiter, and that day's score of 79 is the highest of any Saturday in 2027.

The full moon follows on December 13 at 21°25′ Gemini, and 12/12/27, a Sunday, rates Good with a waxing gibbous Moon in Gemini. Earlier, Monday, December 6 and Wednesday, December 8 rate Good too.

At the very end of the year, Thursday, December 30 rates Good: a fresh Moon in Aquarius making its next aspect a conjunction with Venus, which entered Aquarius on December 19.

The sky this month

Saturn turns direct on Christmas Eve

Saturn stations direct on December 24 at 21°01′ Aries, after a retrograde that began on August 9. Our wedding score does not count Saturn's stations, but astrologers like to note them as turning points.

The new moon on December 27 falls at 5°50′ Capricorn, and the waxing crescent that follows gives the last days of 2027 a fresh Moon.

Jupiter is in its pre-retrograde shadow all month and turns retrograde on January 12, 2028. A partial lunar eclipse follows on the same date, so if you were thinking of early January 2028, December is the cleaner choice.

The sky behind it

Dec 13 · 16:08 UTC: Full moon at 21°25′ Gemini. Dec 19 · 18:40 UTC: Venus enters Aquarius. Dec 24 · 02:46 UTC: Saturn stations direct at 21°01′ Aries. Dec 27 · 20:12 UTC: New moon at 5°50′ Capricorn.
