It suits starting a fitness habit, tackling a project you have put off, or simply speaking up for yourself. The New Moon on the night of December 8–9 falls in Sagittarius, your 4th house of home and family. It is a good night to set an intention about where you live, who you live with, or how you want your home to feel in 2027.

Love

Venus enters Scorpio, your 3rd house of talks and messages, on December 4. Love grows through conversation this month: long talks, kind texts and plans made together. Venus sextiles Mars in your sign on December 12, one of the warmest days of your month for asking someone out or making the first move. After the solstice, the Sun in your 5th house adds playfulness, and the Sun–Mars trine on December 31 is a lovely day to close the year with someone you care about.

Money and work

Mercury, your ruler, enters Sagittarius, your 4th house, on December 6, so some work may happen from home or touch on family matters. Mercury squares Mars in your sign on December 9, a take-care day when you may feel impatient with others; check your tone before you send. Mars squares Uranus in your 10th house of career on December 4: a sudden change at work is possible, and staying flexible will serve you better than pushing back. Mercury trines Saturn on December 11, a good day for a practical money conversation with a partner or a lender.

Mood and energy

Mars in your sign gives energy, and it can also make you restless or quick to burn out. Pace yourself with short bursts and real breaks. Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo, your 12th house of rest and privacy, on the night of December 12–13, which supports quiet reflection over the winter. The Full Moon supermoon on the night of December 23–24 lands in Cancer, your 11th house of friends: a warm night to spend with the people who make you feel at ease.
