Your Monthly Horoscopes: December 2025

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Sibling drama
• New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Away for the holidays
• Other Key Dates: 12/8, 12/14, 12/15

You’re not quite where you want to be yet—and really, is anyone?—but you’re feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by this. It’s easy to say “only focus on the things you can control,” but it’s harder to do in practice. Some of your goals have hit a roadblock, and you might just have to wait it out and be patient. When your ruling planet Mars enters Capricorn on the 15th, the path starts clearing for your next opportunity. You’re gaining power, but also dealing with an overbearing boss or pushy client along the way. A major reset for your career or public image is coming in January that will have you rethinking goals and taking on greater responsibilities.

Love Horoscope: You’re about to reach a new milestone in your relationship—going on vacation together. Or maybe you and your spouse are getting away or taking a class without the kids. If you’re single, you might meet someone you like during your trip home for the holidays.

Money Horoscope: Money shakeups from last month are thankfully stabilizing, but you’re feeling less than happy about holiday spending. Instead of driving yourself mad picking out an expensive gift for your sister in law who never calls, maybe this is the year to make some homemade gifts instead.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Holiday bonus
• New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): First therapy session
• Other Key Dates: 12/2, 12/11, 12/21, 12/24

Though this month is probably the least chaotic one of 2025, you’re involved in some interpersonal drama that is keeping you from relaxing. Making things work right now requires compromise. You might be tempted to put some treats for yourself on a credit card to wash away the stress. Word of advice: watch your spending! The holiday season doesn’t seem like the “right” time to start couple’s therapy, but maybe that should be your gift to yourself. Come January, you’ll be working toward a personal goal with renewed focus. The journey begins when your ruling planet Venus enters Capricorn on the 30th shifting your focus to travel, learning and spiritual pursuits. 

Love Horoscope: December isn’t a honeymoon period for your love life, but it’s a month for growing closer through having hard conversations and making tough decisions. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th has you and your partner making an important choice around shared resources.

Money Horoscope: Though this month might bring some unexpected expenses or extra debt payments, the full moon in Gemini on the 4th brings a well-deserved holiday bonus. You’re also seeing the success of budgeting plans you put in place around the new moon in Gemini back in late May.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): All eyes on you!
• New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Signing a contract
• Other Key Dates: 12/6, 12/7, 12/10, 12/11, 12/13, 12/20, 12/30

It’s another busy month for you, Gemini. Your ruling planet Mercury is no longer retrograde as December begins, but you’re not fully back on track. There’s still some fires to put out and messes to clean up at work and in your daily routines. In the second half of the month, as if you don’t already have enough on your plate, you start dating someone exciting, or reach the final interview round for an ideal job. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th could have you signing on the dotted line for a commitment that you didn’t see coming back in October.

Love Horoscope: Sagittarius season is always the season of love for you. It’s the time of year when you’re most focused on other people and relationships, in both your personal and professional life. If you’re single, you might go on a date that feels fated around the 11th. Passions are high this month, and it’s easy to get caught up in something smoldering.

Money Horoscope: An unexpected expense throws a wrench in your carefully considered budget sometime after the 15th. With action planet Mars in your shared resources sector, you also have a chance to pick up an extra gig to cover the bill. A major reset for your money mindset is coming in January, but until then, you’re playing a bit of tetris to make things work.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Minor crash out
  New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Getting back to a healthy routine
• Other Key Dates: 12/11, 12/15, 12/21, 12/27, 12/30

Sagittarius season is always a stressful time of year for you, Cancer. It feels like all of your friends are the good kind of busy—partying, holiday activities with kids, travel plans. Meanwhile, you’re stuck working overtime, running around to a million doctor’s appointments, and preparing to host way too many family members from out of town. All of this stress causes a minor breakdown around the full moon in Gemini on the 4th when you call out of every plan, and finally take a breath. A major reset is coming for your relationships, contracts and support systems in January, and this month is about figuring out what connections deserve your energy.

Love Horoscope: This is a spicy month for your love life! Mars, the planet that brings the heat, enters your relationship sector on the 15th. This could mean conflict, but it could also mean passion. You may also be playing the field and making bolder choices in your romantic life.

Money Horoscope: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th is all about finding a healthier lifestyle and more sustainable routines. With that comes an opportunity to reset your spending habits. Even if you’re not on a tight budget this holiday season, it’s a great time to do more with less.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): A wild holiday party
  New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Cute first date
• Other Key Dates: 12/5, 12/16, 12/20

For the first few weeks of the month, you’re having the time of your life. The family group chat is muted. You’re hosting a big community event. Things are flirty and fun, and you’re even finding time for some creative endeavors. Around the 15th though, you start feeling like if you don’t “get serious,” you’re going to miss out on a big opportunity. Come January, you’ll have a major reset around your health and daily routines, and now’s the time to start cutting things that are holding you back.

Love Horoscope: The new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th falls in your romance sector. This new moon brings a cute first date that was meant to be something fun and casual, but could eventually turn into something more serious. Communication might be tricky around the holiday season, but gets more consistent after Venus enters Capricorn on the 30th.

Money Horoscope: Last month’s Mercury retrograde brought some shakeups to your finances, especially around family holiday plans. And this month, you’re still cleaning up that mess. Around the 10th though, you finally get a refund on the flight to your sister’s. Use that money to treat yourself.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Career or public image breakthrough
  New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Reset for your home life
• Other Key Dates: 12/6, 12/7, 12/10, 12/11, 12/13, 12/20, 12/30

Whether you’re launching your website, giving a huge presentation at work or hosting a community gathering, December begins with you in the spotlight. A project you started back in late May is coming to fruition and there’s a lot to celebrate, even if the execution feels chaotic. You’re very much still recovering from the communication mishaps of last month’s Mercury retrograde, but by mid-month, you’re finally caught up on your emails and back to a calmer schedule. January will bring a renewed passion for romantic and creative endeavors, and for now, the best thing to do is put yourself out there.

Love Horoscope: You’re way too busy to be dating this month, and yet, you can’t stay off the apps. Action planet Mars enters your romance sector on the 15th, making you feel almost competitive about your love life. You might also want to do something sporty on a date, so why not grab some pickleball gear?
Money Horoscope: Career success this month could lead to a bonus which could lead to you paying off your mortgage or giving your living room a much needed refresh. Any extra cash this month should go toward securing your foundation rather than buying extra gifts for random family members.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Exciting travel plans
  New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Walking around your new neighborhood
• Other Key Dates: 12/2, 12/11, 12/21, 12/24

Sagittarius is always a busy time of year for you. Your calendar is filled with short trips, parties in the neighborhood, and catch up dates with old friends. You’re learning that achieving your larger goals is easier when you commit to doing a little bit everyday. It’s not about the destination, it’s about the practice. A major reset is coming for your home and family life in January, and this month, you’re clearing the path to make that transition easier. Whether you’re moving apartments or helping your parents sell your childhood home, beginnings and endings are happening all at once this month.

Love Horoscope: December is definitely a month to circulate. If you’re single, make sure you’re getting introduced to that cute friend of a friend at every holiday party. And if you’re partnered, this is a great time for double dates and going out to try new spots in the neighborhood rather than staying in.

Money Horoscope: Financial shakeups have become the norm for you over the last few years. And this month is no different. But, especially in the second half of December, you have the opportunity to “get serious” about your budgets in a way you haven’t been able to since January 2024. It’s time to change your money mindset.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Culmination of a collaboration
  New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Values adjustment
• Other Key Dates: 12/8, 12/14, 12/15

December is a month for reckoning with your values. Whether it’s trying to do holiday gifts sustainably or missing out on something fun because of family obligations, you’re feeling pulled between doing what’s best for you vs. doing what everyone else is doing. In January, you’ll have the opportunity to reset your environment through changing up your schedule, curating your group chats, and honing in on the friend groups that really matter to you. This month, you might realize that some people you thought were in it for the long haul just aren’t making the cut. You deserve to have peace in your own space.

Love Horoscope: Neptune—planet of illusions—has been in your dating and romance sector since 2011! It’s been almost fifteen years of prioritizing ideals over practicality when it comes to love. This influence is slowly fading out of your life, but this month, you might have one last fling with someone who seems too good to be true.

Money Horoscope: As mentioned above, December has money and values heavy on your mind. Coming after a few hard financial decisions, the new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th is a much needed values adjustment. It’s time to get real about what resources you actually have.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Relationship milestone!
• New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): New moon, new you!
• Other Key Dates: 12/6

Happy solar return, Sagittarius! Mercury, Venus and Mars spend time in your sign this month, and you’re getting a lot of attention. But, on the other end of the spectrum, December begins with a full moon in Gemini on the 4th which highlights the multitudes of amazing relationships in your life. It’s not just your spouse or romantic partner who’s there for you, you also have amazing friends, a great mentor, and lovely clients who make your life better. Honestly, it’s also a great time to celebrate your therapist! Another important topic this month is money. A major reset is coming for your cash flow in January, and once Capricorn season begins on the 21st, you’re making moves to improve your overall financial health.

Love Horoscope: As mentioned, the full moon in Gemini on the 4th is an amazing day to celebrate all the love you have in your life. Make your birthday party about you, but also about all of your favorite people. Once Capricorn season begins on the 21st, you’ll be in more of a hustle mindset, so enjoy getting out there in the first part of the month.

Money Horoscope: You’re earning a lot this month, but you’re also spending a lot. In some ways, this is good because it means you’re healing from long held scarcity fears. But you also might be making purchases without waiting for a good deal. As stressful as this time of year is for shopping, make sure you sleep on everything you want to buy.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Last day at the office
• New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Do not disturb mode
• Other Key Dates: 12/7, 12/8, 12/15, 12/16, 12/21, 12/30

December might have you feeling stuck in a holding pattern. The full moon in Gemini on the 4th marks the ending of a project that has taken up a ton of your time and bandwidth. Once that stress is over, you might be feeling empty, like you don’t know where to put your energy. Until the new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th, it’s a good idea to rest and finish up behind the scenes projects rather than jumping into the next thing. Once your season begins on the 21st, with Mars and Venus also entering your sign, many new opportunities will be coming your way. Don’t burn yourself out before you get started.

Love Horoscope: This isn’t the best month to initiate anything in your love life. You’re feeling reflective and self-focused and likely would rather stay home than go out and meet people. That’s OK! You deserve a hibernation season. If you’re partnered, you may also find that you need more space apart. Trust the ebb and flow of connection.

Money Horoscope: Last month’s delayed invoices and tense financial negotiations finally get worked out this month. You’ve gained new perspectives about money this year, and are gearing up to make some empowering and confident financial decisions.

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Giving (literal or figurative) birth
  New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Joining a club
• Other Key Dates: 12/7, 12/8, 12/15, 12/16, 12/21, 12/30

You’re bringing something new into the world this month. The full moon in Gemini on the 4th brings a breakthrough in your romantic or creative life, or you might be literally going into labor. The first half of December is incredibly social, and has you out networking and sharing your ideas in community. At the new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th, you end up going to a volunteer meeting and getting more involved than you thought you would. Once Capricorn season begins on the 21st, you enter your hibernation era. It’s time to work on some behind-the-scenes tasks that will make your projects glow once they hit the spotlight.

Love Horoscope: Around the full moon in Gemini on the 5th, if you’re dating someone casually, you’re inevitably having a “what are we?” conversation. The first week of December is a great time to go on a date you’re excited about, or even take yourself out!

Money Horoscope: Neptune—planet of illusion and confusion—has been in your money sector since 2011! For over a decade, you’ve had what some would call a hazy relationship to your cash flow. Though you’re starting to move beyond this era and get more real about your finances, this month could bring yet another splurge you just can’t refuse. Spend carefully!

• Full Moon in Gemini (12/4): Moving day!
• New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19): Interview for a dream job
• Other Key Dates: 12/6

December is all about putting yourself out there. But first, you have to deal with something at home. The full moon in Gemini on the 4th lights up your home and family sector, and might find you packing up to move or celebrating a huge milestone with family. Even in your private life, you’re feeling like you’re in the spotlight. Everyone is looking at you to host, lead and share advice. Networking and community building opportunities increase once Capricorn season begins on the 21st, and inroads you make now will be impactful in the new year.

Love Horoscope: Last month’s Mercury retrograde brought you into contact with some past love interests. And in December, you’re feeling hungover from digging into the archives. If you’re seeing someone new, give it time to develop. What’s meant to grow will grow.

Money Horoscope: Knowing the right people has gotten you far in life, and also earned you a lot of money. Pay attention to connections you make this month because what feels like a simple, friendly interaction now may lead to a future opportunity.
