We enter December with Mercury moving direct, making communications, technology, and travel plans much easier than last month. This will continue to be the case as Mercury picks up speed and leaves its post-retrograde shadow period on December 17th, making any last-minute endeavors, be it work, holiday shopping, or travel, much easier.
On December 4th, we have a full moon in Gemini, followed by Mars square to Saturn on the 8th. The days around this square would be a good time to decrease your commitments. The square aspect may require an immediate remedy to an unexpected situation or a reality check, so you may want to leave a little extra space in your schedule. Mars will go on to square Neptune on the 14th, asking for answers and revealing a deeper truth to a situation.
Once we get past this bit of tension, December will be a nice chance to exhale and end the year on a higher note. The new moon in Sagittarius is a perfect time to vision and think about the big picture for 2026; the sun and Venus moving into Capricorn will help us create the structure and plans to make it happen.
I like this ending to what has been a challenging year for many. It’s also the first year in several years that we’re ending the year with all of our inner planets full speed – a very helpful attribute as we will be able to hit the ground running in 2026.
Please stay tuned for a general 2026 forecast coming soon! It promises to be a wild year with a significantly different energetic signature than 2025.
