leo Monthly Horoscope

December - Welcome to December, bold and beautiful Leo! There's going to be a lot of slow singing, flower bringing, and transforming this season, as you prepare to close out 2024 and enter a new year. You'll be amplifying some deeply intimate aspects of your life this month, shining a light on what you need to protect and from whom. This month's energy is sneaky and requires extra vigilance. Consider it a call to guard your space from energy vampires. Pay attention to the people or places you invest your energy. All is not what it seems and someone is sneeking or trying to get ahead with something. So, whether it’s a daily protection mantra, a spiritual bath, or clearing rituals that refresh your aura, it’s time to strengthen your boundaries. Now, let’s explore your December horoscope.

The month kicks off with a sexy New Moon in Sagittarius on December 1, sparking fun, playful, romantic energy in your life. This fiery lunar energy encourages you to prioritize fun & pleasure, reconnecting with your inner child. It's a golden opportunity for you to spark your creativity, experience new adventures, and even indulge a little in a little flirting. Healing is also on the menu—whether it’s through joyful experiences or intimate moments that help you release old wounds. However, you should be mindful of the Sag energy because it can be impulsive, so balance your desire for excitement with awareness.

Just a few days after, on December 6, Mars turns retrograde in your sign. You heard me correctly, Leo-this retrograde is all about you. Mars is retrograde until February 2025, pushing you to confront personal matters head-on. This isn’t a gentle nudge; it’s a call for real transformation, challenging you to reassess your desires, goals, and personal expression. As much as you thrive when you are in the spotlight, this retrograde is a time for you to step back and evaluate how you have been asserting yourself so far. Make the most of this time by rediscovering your inner fire and redefining what it means to be strong. It’s not just about roaring louder—it’s about understanding what you truly want and how to get it.

The next day, Venus enters Aquarius, bringing relationships into focus. This energy lights up your connections, whether romantic, platonic, or professional. It’s about deepening bonds, finding balance, and engaging in meaningful conversations that spark change. Neptune also turns direct in Pisces, conjuring up powerful emotions beneath the surface. This transit invites you to open up to your vulnerability, exploring raw desires, fantasies, and deep-seated passions. It’s an ideal moment for intimacy, not just in the physical sense but in terms of letting someone see your true self. Get ready to dive deep, Leo, because this cosmic combo wants you to surrender your heart.

Then, on December 15, Mercury turns direct during a Full Moon in Gemini. There is no better time to celebrate with friends, networks, or community gatherings than during this lunation, as it enlightens your social circle. The full moon’s energy encourages you to reflect on your goals, dreams, and how you’ve engaged with others. While Mercury direct is your clarity checkpoint. Let this be a moment to release any lingering tensions or conflicts you've been wasting your energy on. Clear communication is key!

The energy shifts dramatically on December 21, when the Sun enters Capricorn, shifting the lens toward hard-work, routines, and overall wellness. This also marks the start of Solstice, which is here to help you ground and find stability in your life. It’s a time to create a structured plan that supports your physical and mental well-being. Whether it's finding a balance at work, adjusting your health routine, or revamping your personal habits, this period is all about building a strong foundation for the new year, no matter what your goals may be.

On December 24, Jupiter squares Saturn, resulting in the peak in cosmic intensity. In terms of beliefs, visions, and inner growth, this aspect can be a game-changer in your life. There comes a time in your life when you have to integrate your ideals with the reality around you. It is ideal to expect shifts that might seem challenging at first, but ultimately lead to significant growth in the long run. Find the sweet spot where your faith meets your commitment, giving you the tools to manifest something that will last for a long time to come.

The year ends with the arrival of a Black Moon in Capricorn on December 30, which sets up the stage for powerful new beginnings as you prepare for 2025. The energy of this season pushes you to redefine what relationships and life should be like - and, most importantly, how they should feel. During this lunar event, you can set intentions aligned with your deepest desires, attracting connections that resonate with your true self. Here is your chance to envision the life you truly want, filled with passion, purpose, and honesty.

Overall, December—and this entire year—has been about transformation, protection, and authenticity. There have been many challenges along the way, including reclaiming your power, redefining your relationships, and aligning yourself with what truly nurtures your spirit. You have done the work, so step forward into an exciting 2025.

Self-care tip: Try a gentle three-day detox—focus on hydrating with lemon water, adding green juices or smoothies, and eating light, nourishing foods like leafy greens and fresh fruits. By doing so, you will reset your system and clear out any buildup of physical and energetic energy from the year.

December's affirmation: "My energy is protected, my heart is open, and I am ready for a new chapter filled with purpose and passion. I trust my path and welcome abundance in my life with gratitude."
