Your Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope for December
It’s all about you at the start of the month, Sagittarius! Happy birthday—this is your season! You are reminded that pouring your energy and effort into your personal goals and ambitions is not selfish—it’s your right. Once Capricorn season begins mid-month, you’re in a more practical mood as you focus on your finances.
But first, the month starts off with Mercury, the planet of communication and news, moving into Capricorn on December 1. Conversations about raises or promotions, or new work contracts may find you. Keep in mind that Mercury will go retrograde here later this month, so discussions and promises regarding your income may also experience some temporary setbacks or delays. Power dynamics become your center focus on December 3 when Venus in Libra collides into Pluto in Capricorn. Jealousy can pop up with friends or colleagues. You may be asked whether or not you’re ready to invest in a personal goal. You may also feel eager to courageously share your truth and personal values with the world—even if it makes others uncomfortable in the process.
The following day, on December 4, Venus, the planet of love and harmony, moves into Scorpio. You’re keen on spending time alone or with a lover over the next few weeks. Prioritizing your rest and solitude can lead to intuitive downloads. A secret admirer or even a hater may also be on your radar. Be mindful of who truly has your best interests at heart. Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, sync up on December 9, making your schedule jam-packed. The mood is celebratory, and it may be hard to focus on work. Do your best to not overcommit because you can wind up exhausted. The early stages of something you’ve been hoping for may begin to form behind the scenes.
A New Moon in your sign takes over the skies on December 12, ushering in your once-a-year reset. Now is the time to set new goals for yourself, focus on your needs, and switch up your self-expression and style. Your identity is evolving as you prioritize authenticity. New ideas may form today that feel especially encouraging to go after. Later in the day, Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn, stalling some conversations around your finances or causing a few checks to get lost in the mail. You may also be rethinking your current sources of support and revenue. Is your work fulfilling? You’ll have an answer to that by the end of the retrograde—and perhaps a new calling!
Promising conversations regarding your obligations or work take place on December 18 when Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn meets with Jupiter in Taurus. It’s also possible old colleagues or work contracts from the past reach out with potential new opportunities. Secrets and shake-ups take over your close relationships on December 20 when Venus in Scorpio locks eyes with Uranus in Taurus. Partnership dynamics can feel jarring today—you or your partner may be craving more novelty or independence. This energy can also bring surprises to your daily routine, as well as innovative ideas.
The Sun enters Capricorn and the winter solstice arrives on December 21, bringing more attention to your livelihood and possessions. You may be reflecting on what you have vs. what others have, sorting through items in your home, or taking on more responsibility at work. A turning point regarding your finances and your personal Mercury Retrograde story takes place on December 22 when the Sun and Mercury, both in Capricorn, meet at the same point in the sky. You’re feeling more grounded and clearer about your next steps—or perhaps you finally receive that delayed payment or lost check!
On the same day, Mercury Retrograde changes signs and moves into Sagittarius. Things are getting personal and you’re spending more time rethinking your current priorities and objectives. Have you been putting enough time into your own needs and desires? You may also feel called to experiment with your style, haircut, or the way you identify—whether that’s professionally or personally. Tranquil vibes find you on December 25 when Venus in Scorpio mingles with Neptune in Pisces. Compassionate conversations take place and closure feels possible. Your intuition is also hinting at some creative and fulfilling ideas—listen closely and take action accordingly.
A Full Moon in Cancer on December 26 delivers some big feelings and invites you to sever ties with the past. You may also be settling some debt, signing a contract, or an obligation is reaching a turning point. Your career and income experience some forward momentum on December 27 when the Sun in Capricorn meets with Jupiter in Taurus. Recognition for your hard work finds you and you may even receive a boost in compensation for it. At the very least, your ego feels the love and you’re better able to recognize your own gifts, talents, and skills. On the same day, Mercury and Mars, both in Sagittarius, meet at the same point in your sign. You may be initiating an exciting new project today. It’s also possible you’re severing ties or setting clear boundaries within current partnerships.
Mars, in your sign, clashes into Neptune in Pisces on December 28, stirring up big feelings and confusion. The past can feel heavier today and you may experience confusion or misdirection. Fortunately, the month rounds out with Venus, the planet of love, moving into your sign on December 29. The next few weeks bring added blessings to every sector of your life. You’re more magnetic, so don’t be afraid to ask for what (and who) you want!
