Sagittarius in December 2026

December is your season, and on the night of December 8–9 the New Moon falls in Sagittarius, your 1st house. This is your personal new year in miniature: the best night of the month to decide who you want to be in 2027 and take one small step toward it. Mercury enters your sign on December 6 and stays until December 25, so your words carry weight and people listen when you speak up.

Saturn turns direct in Aries, your 5th house of romance, children and creativity, on December 10. A creative project or a relationship that has felt slow since the summer can start moving again, with more structure than before. Jupiter, your ruler, turns retrograde in Leo, your 9th house of travel and study, on the night of December 12–13. Plans to move abroad, study or travel far may need a second look into spring 2027, and that review can make them stronger.

Love

With Saturn moving forward in your 5th house, love is about showing up consistently. Dating may feel more serious, and that can be a good sign. Mercury trines Saturn on December 11, one of your best days to say what you want plainly. Mercury opposes Uranus in your 7th house of partners on December 8, a take-care day when a partner may surprise you; ask questions before you react. Venus is in Scorpio, your 12th house, from December 4, which favours quiet, private time together over big nights out.

Money and work

Mars spends the whole month in Virgo, your 10th house of career, giving you drive to push work forward before the year ends. Mercury squares Mars on December 9, a take-care day when you may clash with a boss or a colleague; pause before you reply. Mars squares Uranus on December 4, so expect at least one sudden change of plan at work early in the month. After the solstice on December 21, the Sun moves into Capricorn, your 2nd house of money, and the Sun–Mars trine on December 31 is a good day to link your work to your income, by sending invoices, asking for a raise or setting a savings goal.

Mood and energy

With the Sun and the New Moon in your sign, you may feel more energetic than usual, so spend some of it on rest. The Sun trines Jupiter on December 18, a hopeful, open day that suits time outdoors or with people who widen your view. The Full Moon supermoon on the night of December 23–24 lands in Cancer, your 8th house of intimacy and shared resources. Strong feelings may come up; let them pass through without making big decisions that night.
