If we're looking for a month that delivers certainty, December won't be that month. This will be a period that asks us to be adaptable in the face of uncertainty, coexisting with confusion, slowness, and disorder . With Mercury retrograde for half the month, Mars entering retrograde, and Jupiter and Neptune also in retrograde motion (although Neptune will resume direct motion), the feeling of uncertainty will be a central theme.

In this context, it is essential to keep fear at bay and work through any feelings of loss of control that may arise. This does not mean ignoring anxiety or doubts, but rather listening to them: asking ourselves where we need to be more flexible, where we have unrealistic expectations, and what we can actually let go of without affecting our well-being.

December challenges us to cultivate faith, trust, and optimism, even when the answers we seek do not come when or in the way we expect. It is a month to navigate uncertainty calmly, remembering that we do not need all the certainties to keep moving forward.

The Key dates of this month are:

Sunday, December 1: New Moon in Sagittarius, 9°

Today will bring us a New Moon at 9°32' of Sagittarius , which presents a challenging but potential-filled context. With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius since November 25 and in square with Saturn, this lunation invites us to plant long-term intentions, recognizing that these will require work, patience and reflection . The available energy leads us to look inward, evaluating our beliefs and objectives with a critical and realistic eye.

Additionally, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Neptune still retrograde, and Mars about to start its own retrograde, amplify the feeling of introspection and adaptability. It's a time to accept that initial intentions may feel confusing or uncertain, and that progress will be more effective if we give ourselves permission to rethink and adjust as we go . This is not a time for certainties, but for opening ourselves to the questions that will shape our path.

Practical tip: Take some time to write down your intentions, but don't feel pressured to have them completely defined. Leave room for flexibility and review your plans every week. Meditate or reflect on which aspects of your life require more commitment and which ideas you are willing to rebuild with patience.

Monday, December 2: Mercury RX Trine Chiron, 19° 

Today, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius forms a trine with Chiron in Aries, creating an opportunity to reflect and heal wounds related to communication, beliefs and self-affirmation. This harmonious aspect invites us to review how we express our ideas and emotions, especially those that we have avoided sharing for fear of being judged or misunderstood.

It's an ideal time to reconcile with parts of ourselves that have been hurt in the past, either by the words of others or by our own self-criticism. It can also be an opportunity to dialogue with someone with whom we have had misunderstandings, always with an attitude of humility and openness. Mercury retrograde reminds us that this process may require patience, but the trine to Chiron softens the energy, allowing this review to be done with compassion and courage.

Practical tip: Take time to write about what you feel you have not been able to express. Ask yourself if there are pending conversations that could help you close cycles or heal wounds. If you decide to talk to someone, make sure to do so from a place of authenticity and empathy, remembering that communication is a powerful tool to heal both others and yourself.

Wednesday , December 4: Mercury RX Opposition Jupiter RX, 16° / Sun Square Saturn, 13° / Venus Sextile Neptune RX, 27°

December 4th brings us tensions but also opportunities for growth . Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius forms an opposition with Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, which can amplify the feeling of mental excess or confusion in our ideas and communications . This aspect invites us to evaluate whether we are being realistic in our expectations and to seek clarity in the midst of dispersion. It is a good time to review beliefs or projects that need greater focus and direction.

At the same time, the Sun in Sagittarius forms a square with Saturn in Pisces, bringing a clash between our optimism and the restrictions or responsibilities we face . This transit can generate some frustration or a feeling of limitation, but it is also an opportunity to rethink goals with a more mature and structured view . It is a call to assume reality without losing sight of our vision, adapting to current circumstances.

In contrast to these tensions, Venus in Capricorn forms a sextile to Neptune retrograde in Pisces, softening the mood with an energy of sensitivity and connection. This aspect allows us to explore our relationships and values ​​from a more empathetic place , offering a creative or spiritual respite amidst the challenges of the day. It's a good time to seek emotional support or inspiration through art, music, or soul-nourishing activities.

Thursday , December 5: Sun Conjunction Mercury RX, 14° (Mercury Cazimi in Sagittarius)

On December 5, the Sun in Sagittarius aligns with Mercury retrograde in what we know as Mercury Cazimi , a key moment in the Mercury retrograde cycle. In astrology, “Cazimi” means that a planet is in the heart of the Sun, receiving special clarity and strength despite being retrograde. This is a point of maximum lucidity within the confusion that Mercury retrograde can bring, offering an instant to receive important ideas or reflections.

This Mercury Cazimi connects with the one that occurred on September 30th in Libra, when Mercury was in direct motion ( you can read the information about that cazimi here ). Issues, projects or communications that arose then could reappear now to be revisited, adjusted or rethought . It is a time to look back, reflect on what has been learned and reconsider how we want to move forward.

With Mercury in Sagittarius, this Cazimi is related to revelations about our beliefs, long-term goals, and how we communicate our vision to the world. As it is retrograde, it invites us to delve deeper into these topics, letting go of hasty judgments in favor of a broader, more considered perspective.

Practical tip: Review the projects, ideas, or conversations that took center stage in September and October. Ask yourself what adjustments you need to make to better align them with your current goals. Use this time to write, plan, or meditate on your vision for the future. Although Mercury retrograde often suggests review rather than action, this day is ideal for setting clear intentions based on the lessons of the past.

Friday, December 6: Mars Stationary Retrograde in Leo 6° / Mercury RX Square Saturn, 13°

Today Mars enters its stationary phase and then begins its retrograde motion within Leo, where it will remain throughout the month moving at an extremely slow pace . This energy takes us to a necessary pause, inviting us to reflect and reconsider our goals, desires and the way we act to achieve them.

Mars, the planet that rules action, initiative, and courage , turns retrograde and asks us to slow down and direct that energy inward . A sense of frustration may arise, as if the impulse to move forward is blocked. We may also react defensively, especially if we feel that our goals or desires are not aligned with current circumstances.

Overall, this transit challenges us to reevaluate which battles are worth fighting and where we are expending energy unnecessarily . It is a time to fine-tune our strategy, work on our patience, and ask ourselves if the goals we pursue are really ours.

( Read here the entry specially dedicated to this Mars retrograde .)

At the same time, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius forms a square to Saturn , adding some additional frustrations. This aspect challenges us to examine our beliefs and words seriously. There may be difficulties in communication, delays, or a feeling that our ideas are not well received . This day asks us not to rush into resolving conflicts or making important decisions, as the combination of stationary Mars and the Mercury-Saturn square amplifies the need for patience and clarity.

Practical Tip: Take advantage of this break to rethink your priorities and allow yourself the necessary rest. Reflect on where you are putting your energy and if you need to redistribute it. Before communicating or making decisions, take a deep breath and analyze whether what you want to express is clear and constructive. It is a good day to write, meditate or practice activities that calm your mind, remembering that sometimes, waiting is the best move.

Saturday, December 7: Neptune Stationary Direct, 27° / Venus Enters Aquarius, Conjunction Pluto / Sun Opposition Jupiter RX, 16°

On December 7th, Neptune goes direct at 27° Pisces, intensifying its energy due to its stationary condition . This moment amplifies the sense of confusion, disorientation, and lack of clarity that Neptune usually brings, and can manifest as a feeling of meaninglessness or even a state of disappointment or melancholy. This energetic nebula will accompany us for much of the month, requiring us to navigate undefined terrain with patience and openness.

However, within this haze, an important revelation can also emerge: a deeper understanding of something we need to let go of or a stronger connection to our spirituality . This transit invites us to embrace the intangible, to trust the process, and to let go of that which no longer resonates with our essence.

Simultaneously, Venus enters Aquarius and forms an immediate conjunction with Pluto , marking a key event in the month. This conjunction - which we already experienced for the first time in February - is now repeated as a second opportunity to explore power dynamics related to the feminine, values ​​and money, both on a personal and collective level . This transit calls us to reflect on the values ​​of our society, question the dynamics of control and rethink how we relate to the group, empathy and interconnection. What we do to others, in some way, we also do to ourselves.

Added to this is the opposition between the Sun in Sagittarius and Jupiter retrograde in Gemini , which intensifies the contrast between our personal beliefs and the need for objective information. There may be an internal struggle between the expansion of our ideas and tangible reality , leading us to question whether our goals or ideals are aligned with the truth or based on exaggerated expectations . This day challenges us to maintain the balance between confidence and humility, optimism and realism.

Practical tip: Spend today introspection and notice what emotions or patterns emerge. If you feel disoriented, go with the flow and allow the answers to come in their own time. Reflect on how your values ​​and beliefs influence your relationships and your connection to the collective. To balance the energy of the Sun-Jupiter opposition, write down your current goals or expectations and assess whether they are realistic. Practice an act of solidarity or empathy that reinforces your sense of interconnectedness.

Tuesday, December 10: Sun Trine Chiron RX, 19°

On December 10, the Sun in Sagittarius forms a trine to Chiron retrograde in Aries, creating a harmonious energy that invites us to illuminate and heal aspects of our identity and personal confidence. This transit represents an opportunity to recognize wounds related to our ability to take action and be true to ourselves, and to transform them into sources of strength and learning.

With the Sun in Sagittarius, this aspect encourages us to connect with a greater purpose , broadening our vision on how we can integrate our vulnerabilities into our path of growth. Chiron retrograde, on the other hand, takes us towards an internal process, inviting us to reflect on the lessons we have learned in this period and to value the steps we have taken towards our healing.

This trine facilitates an energy of acceptance and authenticity. It is an ideal time to work on our self-esteem, allowing us to see our scars not as weaknesses, but as an essential part of our history and what makes us unique.

Practical tip: Make a list of the most valuable lessons you have learned in 2024, especially those that arose from challenging times. Reflect on how these experiences have helped you grow this year and what actions you can take to integrate them into your daily life. Practice affirmations that reinforce your self-confidence and celebrate the achievements, however small, that you have made in your healing process.

Thursday, December 12: Venus Opposition Mars RX, 5° / Mercury RX Sextile Venus, 6°

On December 12, Venus in Aquarius forms an exact opposition to Mars retrograde in Leo, creating a tension between the desire for connection and cooperation (Venus) and the introspective and passionate energy of Mars retrograde. This opposition invites us to explore the balance between our relationships and our autonomy . Conflicts may arise related to desires or needs that seem to be in opposition , both on a personal and collective level. However, it also gives us an opportunity to better understand our emotional dynamics and find a middle ground.

Simultaneously, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius forms a sextile to Venus , easing some of this tension by facilitating more open and thoughtful communication. This aspect encourages meaningful conversations that help us better understand our emotions and relationships. Although Mercury retrograde tends to bring reviews, this sextile encourages us to use these reviews as tools to build empathy and clarity in our interactions.

The combination of these transits creates a climate that can be challenging but deeply revealing. It's a good time to review our relationships and values, asking ourselves how we can honor both our individual needs and those of those around us.

Practical tip: If you're feeling tension in your relationships, use the energy of the sextile between Mercury and Venus to open a channel of thoughtful and empathetic communication. Avoid making impulsive decisions or reacting in the heat of the moment; instead, listen and express yourself calmly. Reflect on how to balance your individual desires with the needs of your relationships, seeking solutions that are enriching for both parties.

Sunday, December 15: Full Moon in Gemini, 23° / Mercury Stationary Direct Trine Mars, 6°

On December 15th, there is a Full Moon at 23° Gemini, marked by a confusing energy that is not conducive to important decisions or defined intentions. This Full Moon, which coincides with Mercury entering a direct stationary phase and forming a trine with retrograde Mars in Leo, places us in a terrain of culminations that can feel uncertain or unstable.

The influence of Gemini leads us to reflect on issues related to communication, the immediate environment, relationships with siblings, the media and the information we receive and share . However, the confusion that characterizes this moment can make what we think or say during this lunation shaky or even cause us to regret it later.

With Mercury direct but still stationary, mental clarity is not quite there, and the trine to retrograde Mars adds an introspective energy that can be helpful for reflection, but not necessarily for action . This Full Moon reminds us that December is a challenging month in which patience, adaptability, and a willingness to revisit our ideas and desires are essential.

Practical tip: Instead of trying to define or decide something important, use this Full Moon to observe and reflect. Ask yourself what culminations are occurring in your life related to communication and your close relationships, but avoid rushing into action or commitment. Take time to write down your thoughts or emotions, but leave space for answers and clarity to come in their own time. At this Full Moon, it's wisest not to pre-intend anything.

Wednesday, December 18: Sun Square Neptune, 27°

Today the Sun in Sagittarius forms a square to Neptune in Pisces, creating an environment of confusion and lack of clarity that can be challenging . This transit tends to cloud our perception, leading us to question our goals and the purpose behind our actions. A feeling of disorientation or even doubt about whether we are on the right path may arise.

Neptune's energy can heighten the feeling that things are not as they seem, increasing the possibility of misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations. At the same time, the Sun in Sagittarius encourages us to seek the truth, but this square reminds us that we won't always have all the answers right away. This aspect invites us to accept uncertainty as part of the process and to avoid making important decisions or committing our energy to unclear situations.

It is a day to work on patience and stay connected to reality, without letting ourselves be carried away by illusions or idealizations. At the same time, this transit can be an open door for inspiration and creativity if we manage to channel Neptune's energy consciously.

Practical tip: Avoid making important decisions or committing to projects that aren't completely clear. Spend time on creative or spiritual activities that allow you to connect with your intuition and find calm amidst confusion. If you feel disoriented, take a deep breath and give yourself permission to pause before moving forward; not everything needs to be resolved today.

Thursday, December 19: Venus Trine Jupiter RX, 14°

On December 19, Venus in Aquarius forms a trine to Jupiter retrograde in Gemini , bringing a much-needed respite amid a month filled with uncertainty, nebula, and confusion. This is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant and positive aspects of December, offering a light, expansive, and connecting energy.

This trine between two benefic planets invites us to open ourselves to relationships, to enjoy meaningful moments with friends and loved ones, and to value the importance of social life as a source of joy and support . Although the global or personal context may feel challenging, this transit reminds us that we can always find spaces to connect, share, and feel part of something bigger.

It's an ideal time to plan social activities, cultivate friendships or even seek new connections that fill us with optimism and hope . Venus in Aquarius promotes originality and openness in relationships, while Jupiter in Gemini encourages communication and mutual learning.

Practical tip: Take advantage of this day to meet up with friends, go out, or simply connect with people who inspire you and make you feel good. Find moments of enjoyment that help you recharge your batteries. If you can't be physically close to your loved ones, use technology to stay in touch and strengthen those bonds that are so important in times of uncertainty.

Saturday, December 21: Winter/Summer Solstice, the Sun Enters Capricorn

December 21 marks the Sun's entry into Capricorn and with it, the solstice : the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere (winter solstice) and the longest in the Southern Hemisphere (summer solstice). This is a key moment in the annual cycle, symbolizing both a closure and a new beginning.

The solstice invites us to reflect and connect with the natural rhythms of life . In the northern hemisphere, winter calls us to introspection, to contemplate, and to plant the seeds of our intentions for the next cycle . In the southern hemisphere, summer is a time of expansion, celebration, and connection with the light . In both cases, the solstice reminds us of the importance of honoring the cycles of nature and aligning ourselves with them.

As the Sun enters Capricorn , this energy of change is tinged with a practical and structured approach . Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, invites us to commit to our long-term goals, build on solid foundations, and take responsibility for our personal and professional growth. It's a time to reflect on our achievements, adjust our strategies, and set intentions that are aligned with our ambition and purpose.

Practical tip: Take this day to pause and reflect on the year that is ending. Ask yourself what accomplishments you are proud of and what changes you need to implement to build a stronger future. If you are in the northern hemisphere, dedicate time to introspective rituals, such as writing or meditating. If you are in the southern hemisphere, connect with the expansive energy of summer through outdoor activities or celebrations with loved ones. Use this solstice to align your goals with the natural rhythms of life.

Tuesday, December 24: Jupiter RX Square Saturn, 14°

On December 24, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini forms an exact square to Saturn in Pisces, creating significant tension between expansion and growth (Jupiter) and limitations or responsibilities (Saturn). This aspect challenges us to find a balance between our vision and the practical reality we face , pushing us to reevaluate our goals and the way we’re pursuing them. We’ve already had this square in July and August , so we might find ourselves revisiting situations from that time of year to make some adjustments.

It's important to remember that Jupiter amplifies everything it touches, and in this case, it could also expand pessimism. If we're not careful, we can fall into extremes: exaggerated expectations that inevitably lead to disappointment, or a rigid and closed attitude that prevents us from seeing the possibilities that still exist . This transit challenges us to balance the best of both worlds, adopting Jupiter's broad and hopeful vision without losing the discipline and structure that Saturn offers us.

Thus, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini encourages mental dispersion, but Saturn in Pisces reminds us that we need to concentrate on what is essential and anchor our ideas in reality . The key is to integrate expansion with responsibility, adjusting our expectations to avoid extremes and patiently building what we really want to achieve.

Practical tip: Make a list of your current goals and analyze whether they are realistic and achievable. Ask yourself if you are viewing your current situation from an extreme of either over-optimism or over-pessimism, and work to find a middle ground. Reflect on how you can combine Jupiter’s hope with Saturn’s wisdom, focusing on clear and achievable goals. Avoid making important decisions from a place of anxiety or frustration; instead, prioritize the balance between vision and reality. If you celebrate Christmas Eve, think twice before saying or doing something to your loved ones that you might later regret. Be thankful for what is around you, and enjoy it; what you focus on expands.

Thursday, December 26: Mercury Opposition Jupiter RX, 13°

On December 26, Mercury in Sagittarius forms an exact opposition to Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, an aspect that amplifies our mind, our words, and our ideas, leading us to think big, but also to run the risk of losing clarity or focus . This opposition contrasts the need to explore and share big ideals (Mercury in Sagittarius) with the more detailed, reflective review that Jupiter retrograde demands of us.

This is a transit that can bring an overload of information, thoughts, or even conversations, creating a feeling of dispersion . It's easy to fall into over-promising or unrealistic expectations, as Jupiter's influence can stretch our ideas without considering practical limitations. At the same time, we might also experience tensions in communication, such as misunderstandings or difficulty balancing the big picture with the necessary details.

 

This aspect reminds us that balance is essential: while Mercury in Sagittarius invites us to dream big, Jupiter retrograde asks us to re-evaluate those dreams with a critical and realistic eye. The key is to connect both energies, allowing us to explore new ideas without losing sight of their viability.

Practical tip: Before you commit to big decisions or share ideas, ask yourself if you're being realistic. Review the details and avoid promising more than you can deliver. If you feel like your mind is overloaded, spend time gathering your thoughts by writing or meditating. Use this day to reflect on how you can balance your big ideals with a practical strategy to make them achievable.

Friday, December 27: Mercury (Direct) Square Saturn, 14°

On December 27, Mercury—now in direct motion in Sagittarius—forms its second square with Saturn in Pisces , closing a cycle of reflection that began during its retrograde motion. This square takes up themes that emerged more strongly in the square of December 6 (when Mercury was retrograde), but now allows us to address them with greater clarity and focus on practical solutions.

This configuration can feel like a challenge to our ideas or communication , as Saturn brings restrictions, delays, or even criticism that invite us to fine-tune our message and rethink our way of thinking. However, with Mercury direct, there is a greater possibility of moving forward and finding resolutions , as long as we are patient and willing to face reality with maturity.

It's a time to reflect on how we handle our words, our beliefs, and our responsibilities. While this square can feel like a mental or emotional strain, it's also an opportunity to consolidate what was learned during Mercury's retrograde transit, transforming challenges into strengths and confusion into clarity.

Practical tip: Review the themes that arose on December 6 and analyze how they have evolved since then. If you are still facing challenges, use this day to clarify your ideas and make informed decisions. Practice patience in communication and look for ways to express your thoughts clearly and constructively. Remember that this is a transit to strengthen your mental skills and your ability to handle limitations wisely.

Saturday, December 28: Venus Square Uranus RX, 23°

On December 28th, Venus in Aquarius forms an exact square to retrograde Uranus in Taurus, bringing an energy of surprise, tension, and potential unexpected changes on both a personal and collective level . This transit invites us to question what we consider safe or predictable , challenging our need for stability with a sudden desire for freedom and novelty.

On a personal level , this configuration can create unrest in our relationships, financial decisions, or personal values . Venus in Aquarius seeks connection from a place of independence and originality, while Uranus in Taurus can destabilize what we thought was under control. We could experience dissatisfaction with our usual dynamics, leading us to reconsider our priorities and ways of relating.

On the collective or mundane level , this square could bring unexpected news related to global finances, stock markets, or sudden changes in the value of certain resources. Uranus in Taurus, even retrograde, tends to impact economic and material areas, so it is possible that events will arise that remind us of the volatility of these systems and the importance of adapting to new ways of managing resources.

While squares are tense, they are also times of growth. This transit challenges us to release what no longer resonates with us and to explore innovative ways of approaching change , both personally and collectively.

Practical tip: Pay attention to your relationships and finances, and avoid making impulsive decisions today. Reflect on what you really need to feel aligned with your values ​​and priorities, looking for creative and constructive ways to integrate changes. Stay informed about possible economic news or collective events, but avoid reacting from fear or impulsiveness. Use this energy to innovate and find new solutions both personally and collectively.

Sunday, December 29: Chiron Stationary Direct, 19° Aries

On December 29, Chiron turns direct in Aries after having been retrograde since July 26. This change of direction marks an important point in our healing process, allowing us to move forward with greater clarity and confidence in those areas of our lives that have required introspection and inner work over the past few months.

Chiron's retrograde motion has us looking inward, revisiting wounds related to our identity, self-esteem, and ability to take action. In Aries, these wounds are often connected to our sense of independence, courage, and authenticity. Now that Chiron is moving direct again, we can integrate what we've learned during this time and begin to act from a more empowered and conscious place.

This is a time to embrace our vulnerabilities as part of our strength and to move forward in our healing. Although the process is still ongoing, this phase shift allows us to move forward with greater determination, taking concrete actions to build a stronger and more secure identity.

Practical tip: Review your journey since the end of July and reflect on how you have dealt with your insecurities and personal challenges. Ask yourself what lessons you can integrate into your daily life and what steps you can take to strengthen your self-esteem and authenticity. If you feel that certain wounds still need work, allow yourself to move forward without putting pressure on yourself, remembering that the healing process is ongoing. Find moments to celebrate your achievements, however small, and reinforce your self-confidence.

Monday, December 30: New Moon in Capricorn, 9°

December 30th brings a third lunation to a close, a New Moon at 9° Capricorn. Lunations are intense events by nature, and having three in one month amplifies the complexity and diversity of December's energy. This New Moon is particularly strong because the Sun and Moon will be forming what is known as a duet : they make only one aspect to each other (in this case a conjunction), without making any other planets' aspects. This configuration concentrates Capricorn's energy in a pure way, without external influences, which reinforces its power.

The essence of this lunation encourages us to establish new and solid structures for the year 2025. Although we know that the coming year will bring new challenges and transformations, this New Moon invites us to reflect on what gives us stability now and how we can build a firm foundation that allows us to move forward safely . It is an ideal time to define our priorities and commit to realistic and tangible goals.

However, we must not forget that this lunation occurs alongside Mars in retrograde, which reminds us that this structuring process will require patience and persistence . Many of these new foundations may arise more from internal work than from immediate external actions . It is a time to consciously plant intentions and allow time and dedication to transform them into something lasting.

( find here the entry dedicated to this lunation .)

Practical tip: Make a list of the areas of your life that need to be structured or strengthened for the coming year. Reflect on what values ​​and practices provide you with stability and how you can integrate them consistently. Remember that with Mars retrograde, progress may be slow, but every step you take now will be critical to building a solid future. Focus on realistic, long-term commitments.

Tuesday, December 31: Mercury Trine Chiron, 19°

The last day of the year closes with a healing energy , thanks to the trine between Mercury in Sagittarius and Chiron in Aries. This aspect facilitates more honest and open communication, allowing us to express thoughts or emotions that might have been difficult to verbalize before. It's a time to reflect on the lessons learned during the year and share our experiences from a place of authenticity.

Mercury in Sagittarius invites us to connect with our personal truth and look forward with optimism, while Chiron in Aries fosters the courage needed to face our vulnerabilities. This harmonious trine creates a space to integrate our emotional wounds into a larger story, helping us transform pain into wisdom and strength.

It's an ideal day to close the year with meaningful conversations , both with others and with ourselves. This aspect encourages us to heal through dialogue , introspection, and connection with our deepest goals and values.

Practical tip: Take time to reflect on the most important lessons of the year that is ending. If there are pending conversations that could help you heal or close cycles, this is a good time to start them from a place of empathy and authenticity. Write down your thoughts or intentions for the coming year, focusing on how you can integrate what you have learned to continue moving forward with confidence and clarity.

Tips for Each of the 12 Ascendants:

Aries Ascendant

For those with Aries Ascendant, December will be a month of introspection and important adjustments due to the retrograde motion of Mars, ruler of your birth chart . This transit can cause energy levels to drop , leading to a slower pace that invites reflection before acting. It is an ideal time to rethink goals and strategies, and to take care of your body, as you may feel more fatigued than usual.

The New Moon in Sagittarius activates your 9th house, related to the expansion of horizons, beliefs and learning. This is a good time to plant intentions linked to studies, trips or projects that connect you with a broader vision of life, although you will have to be flexible due to the confusing energy of the month.

On the other hand, the Full Moon in Gemini illuminates your 3rd house , linked to communication, the close environment and information. You could be closing a cycle related to studies, important conversations or matters with siblings or neighbors. Finally, the New Moon in Capricorn falls in your 10th house , a key sector for your career and reputation. This event invites you to think about new structures and solid foundations to advance professionally in 2025 , although it will require patience and perseverance.

Practical tip: Listen to your body's signals and respect the moments when you need to rest. Use the energy of the New Moon in Sagittarius to reflect on which areas of your life need further expansion, but avoid making hasty decisions. Take advantage of the Full Moon in Gemini to close communication cycles and use the New Moon in Capricorn to set clear and realistic goals in your professional life. The key this month is to move forward step by step, without forcing immediate results.

Taurus Ascendant

For those with Taurus Ascendant, December will be a month of challenges and transformations in key areas of life. The retrograde of Mars in Leo, in your 4th house , highlights tensions at home or with the family. This transit can generate emotional conflicts or tense dynamics that invite you to handle situations with patience and avoid impulsive decisions related to your personal or family space.

The New Moon in Sagittarius activates your 8th house, linked to internal transformations, shared resources, and deep emotions . It's a time to reflect on how you deal with changes and issues of emotional or financial dependency. However, it's important to be flexible, as December doesn't offer immediate clarity.

The Full Moon in Gemini falls in your 2nd house , related to finances and personal values. This event could bring culminations or revelations in economic matters, but with the confusing energy of this lunation, it is better to observe and reflect rather than act hastily . Finally, the New Moon in Capricorn in your 9th house opens a new cycle of expansion, learning and exploration. It is an excellent time to set long-term intentions that allow you to develop new perspectives or projects aligned with your vision for the future.

On the other hand, the square between Uranus in Taurus and Venus (ruler of your birth chart) in Aquarius could bring surprises or tensions in your career, aspirations and/or identity that you project outwards . This aspect challenges you to rethink which aspects of your life need greater flexibility and how you can adapt to unexpected changes without losing your personal stability.

Practical tip: In this month of uncertainty, avoid hasty decisions regarding financial or family matters. Calmly observe the dynamics at home and reflect on what changes can help you find greater internal stability. Use the New Moon in Capricorn to lay solid foundations for long-term projects, especially those that allow you to expand your horizons. In the face of unexpected changes, focus on staying calm and prioritizing what really matters.

Ascendant in Gemini

December will be an especially significant month for those with Gemini Ascendant, with several notable events that activate key areas of your life. Mercury (ruler of your birth chart) retrogrades in your 7th house, putting the focus on relationships, partnerships, and close ties. This transit can bring about important revisions, misunderstandings, or reflections on these issues, inviting you to rethink dynamics that no longer work or to resume pending conversations.

The New Moon in Sagittarius, also in your 7th house, reinforces this energy, marking a new cycle in relationships. Although December is not a month for certainties, this lunation encourages you to sow intentions related to improving the connection as a couple or establishing new agreements in important partnerships.

The Full Moon in Gemini, in your 1st house , has a stronger impact on you than other rising signs. This lunation can feel confusing and emotionally intense , as it illuminates aspects of your identity and your relationships with others. There may be doubts or revelations about who you are and how you project yourself to the world, but it's best to observe and reflect before acting.

Finally, the New Moon in Capricorn activates your 8th house , linked to profound transformations, shared resources, and intense emotional issues. This event invites you to set resolutions for the new year related to letting go of what no longer serves you and building solid foundations for deep and meaningful change.

 

Practical tip: Take advantage of Mercury retrograde to review your relationships and agreements, but avoid making definitive decisions until clarity returns. Use the New Moon in Capricorn to set intentions related to deep internal changes that allow you to grow in 2025. With the Full Moon in Gemini, stay calm in the face of any emotional turmoil and observe what emerges, without forcing immediate responses. Take time to organize your thoughts and prioritize clear and thoughtful communication throughout the month.

Cancer Ascendant

For those with Cancer Ascendant, December will be a month deeply focused on practical life, routine, and finances . Mars' retrograde in your 2nd house activates issues related to the management of your resources, the value you give to your talents, and how you feel about your financial stability. This transit can bring frustration or revisions in your finances, inviting you to manage money carefully and rethink your material priorities.
