It’s time to find clarity within, because there are some major moves to be made as you enter 2025. So, let's explore your monthly horoscope and see how the end of the year plays out for you.

December kicks off on a strong note as the New Moon in Sagittarius lights up your philosophical sector on December 1. It’s like the universe whispers: “Let’s explore!” It's an ideal time to dive into knowledge, uncover different perspectives, or even make travel plans—whether in the world or within your own mind. Let yourself dream big and aim high. Spend time really envisioning the life you want to create.

However, a Sun-Saturn square on the 4th, urges you to slow down and think about your current priorities. It's a reality check. A moment to get real- balancing big dreams with practical action. Take it as a reminder: progress isn’t just about moving fast; it’s also about bring very mindful. You’ve got the vision—now it’s time to build the path with care, intention, and precision.

The energy takes a bold shift as Mars turns retrograde in Leo on December 6. Mars RX is all about reflecting on your passions, creative projects, and how you express your needs, wants, and desires. You may feel a pull to re-evaluate how you assert yourself and what truly fuels you. It’s not about taking immediate action, but more about reassessing your desires—what brings you joy, what lights you up, and what is genuine. This energy invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what makes you feel most alive, but without the usual urgency.

As if that weren't enough, Venus enters Aquarius the next day, bringing attention to your social and community-focused sector. With Neptune moving direct on the same day, there's a deep sense of clarity supporting your dreams, hopes, wishes, and connections. Perhaps a networking connection brings you new abundance. The combination of energies encourages you to blend creative inspiration with a desire for deeper, more authentic relationships. It’s a cosmic nudge to merge your personal passions with a broader vision—letting your heart lead while staying open to new possibilities that align with your soul's journey.

Venus opposes Mars RX on the 12th, bringing slight tension between your desires for personal enjoyment and shared goals. Relationships and friendships may encounter some conflict, but passionate reconnections may also be possible. Money matters may also come up--think of it as finding a balance between your own financial interests and those of the group or family.

Mercury turns direct a few days later, on December 15, bringing clarity to conversations, plans, and decisions that may have been stalled. The cosmic shift will be followed by a Full Moon in Gemini, which emphasizes communicating new ideas. It's an exciting moment that brings insight and confidence as you articulate your needs and desires. Breakthroughs are expected.

Expect an influx of news, insights, and even new skills exchanged during this period. Whatever you're working on, whether it's a creative project, a personal conversation, or even a writing endeavor, find your voice this Full Moon. There might be an urge to speak out or clear the air on something that's been bothering you for some time. It may also bring up issues with siblings, neighbors, or close acquaintances, so keep an open mind. The time is ideal for problem-solving and making those final decisions.

With Solstice and Capricorn season beginning on December 21, your career and long-term ambitions become a greater focus. You'll likely feel more motivated to set goals, plan your next steps, and take action toward your professional objectives. Capricorn is all about tangible progress, reinforcing authority, and recognition for hard work. It’s a time to build your reputation and align your day-to-day efforts with your long-term vision. The festive season might inspire you to reflect on what you’ve accomplished this year but also on what you want to achieve next. Use this energy to plan, strategize, and take bold steps toward achieving your ambitions.

Then, on December 24, a powerful clash between Jupiter & Saturn occurs, creating a significant push-and-pull moment. The cosmic meeting asks you to balance your big ideas with reflection and spiritual grounding. It might feel like you're balancing expansion and limitation-wanting to express yourself more freely while also being urged to retreat, reflect, or resolve hidden matters. A time of cleansing, letting go, and ensuring your words match your deepest intentions, this alignment calls for integrating outward communication with inner growth.

Finally, the month—and the year—closes with a powerful New Moon in Capricorn on December 30, marking a “Black Moon,” the second New Moon of the month. This lunation is a fitting end to the year, offering a fresh start to your career, reputation, and ambitions. This mystical New Moon is a call to set strong, realistic goals for 2025. Expect divine messages from your ancestors or guides. Make plans for success that are built to last. Get clear on what you want to achieve in the next chapter and plant seeds that grow steadily throughout the year ahead.

Overall, December is an opportunity to let go of what no longer aligns with your dreams and reclaim a new sense of purpose. Whether it's a career move, a personal project, or simply a shift in how you present yourself to the world, this transition is about manifesting your soul's purpose. It’s a powerful way to close 2024 and enter 2025 with renewed clarity and focus.

Self-care tip: Take a few minutes each morning to visualize your goals. Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and visualize yourself already achieving them. Feel the excitement and gratitude as if it were happening right now. This simple act strengthens your manifesting energy and keeps you aligned with abundance.

December's affirmation: "I trust my inner guidance as I align my passion with steady progress. I experience abundance effortlessly as I move confidently towards my goals."
