Features
Capricorn (22 December– 19 January)
The first week of the month is a particularly exhausting one, so you may want to prioritise some quality alone time where you can shut off your brain and have some private space. Mercury retrograde will come to an end right as luxury-loving Venus starts lighting up your finance sector. The full moon in Gemini rises on 15 December, and it’ll inspire you to tighten up your daily routine and get yourself organised.
Aquarius (20 January– 18 February)
The first week of December could make you feel like you’re out of sync with the people around you, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on finding common ground. On 6 December, this transit could take some of the wind out of your sails when it comes to relationships. On 15 December, there is a gorgeous trine between amorous Venus in your sign and lucky Jupiter that hits a few days later.
Pisces (19 February– 20 March)
You will put your attention on your career for the first week of December. On 7 December, you’ll have even more access to your intuition, so you’ll be able to sense that things are indeed falling into place. The full moon on 15 December is a great time to connect with family ahead of the holidays – so make sure you ring all your loved ones! Then, at the end of the month, you will be able to socialise more with friends as we go into the new year.
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Aries horoscope for December 2024 brings plenty of growth opportunities. The new moon on 1 December lights up your adventure zone. You may not feel quite as inspired to chase after your passions for a while. Give yourself time to reconnect with the thing that makes your heart feel happy! Then, the full moon on 15 December is a fabulous time to talk through any communication problems that arose during Mercury retrograde.
Taurus (20 April– 20 May)
Taurus horoscope for December 2024 spans way beyond your inner world. The new moon on 1 December has you re-evaluating your boundaries, trying to see past people’s surface-level intentions to reveal their true nature. Money matters should be prioritized mid-month. Use the new moon on 30 December as an excuse to manifest some material magic
Gemini (21 May– 20 June)
The new moon on 1 December could have you looking at a past partnership in a new light. While the first half of December could feel quite heavy, you’ll experience a sense of relief mid-month. Then on 19 December, Jupiter in your sign makes a mystical trine to amorous Venus. If you want to take a risk — whether creatively or romantically — now’s the time my fellow Geminis! The new moon on 30 December is an ideal moment for deep self-reflection.
Cancer (21 June– 22 July)
The new moon on 1 December may have you daydreaming about revamping your schedule and daily routine, making you more aware of self-care. Once Mars retrograde hits on 7 December, you may be a little less motivated by money. On 15 December spend some time alone to recharge your batteries if needed, especially with holidays on the horizon.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
The new moon on 1 December inspires you to reconnect with your inner child. Rest of the month allows you to have more purpose and re-centres your energy. The full moon on 15 December is a good time to connect with larger friendship groups and to have more organised routine in your life. Finally at the end of December, it’s a good call to step up to your responsibilities.
Virgo (23 August– 22 September)
December 2024 will have you wading through some memories and sorting through your emotions. Your energy levels might be dampening, while your desire for solitude skyrockets. Give yourself the space you need to recharge. Keep your heart open to all these possibilities and more under the new moon on 30 December.
Libra (22 September– 22 October)
The new moon on 1 December is great for revisiting unfinished conversations or circling back to some missed connections. Venus will start lighting up your flirty fifth house a week later, bringing an added boost of sweetness, passion, and flirtatiousness to your love life. On 15 December, your heart is craving some adventure—and because Mercury retrograde ends the same day, it’s a great time to start making some travel plans. The new moon on 30 December is full of feelings, so honour what your hearts wants as you set some personal intentions.
Scorpio (23 October– 21 November)
On 6 December, you may struggle to get in touch with your ambitious side at work. Then, moving to the week of 15 December may even bring some surprise windfalls, early holiday gifts, or debts owed to you that are finally being repaid. The new moon on 30 December is a great time to get things off your chest before the year comes to an end.
Sagittarius (22 November– 21 December)
The new moon in your sign on 1 December brings a refreshing inspiration boost that puts you in touch with your inner fire power. This helps you look at your current trajectory from a new perspective—which is helpful to consider even if you don’t feel ready to take any major actions.
