December 2024 Astrology Forecast: December 2024 starts with a New Moon in Sagittarius, an invitation to renew our commitment to live an authentic and meaningful life. The Sun and the Moon square Saturn and oppose Jupiter, challenging us to find ways to harmonize optimism and realism and understand when it is time to expand and when it is time to consolidate foundations and build more resilience and inner strength.
Just a few days after the New Moon, Mars stations retrograde in Leo, while still in opposition to Pluto in Aquarius: this shift begins a journey of redefinition, renovation, and reassessment of our desires, our sexuality, and our relationship to creativity that will continue through the first few months of 2025. On December 7, Venus enters Aquarius just a few hours before Neptune goes direct in Pisces, while on December 15 a Gemini Full Moon takes place as Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, stations direct in Sagittarius. Around this time, opportunities for a new, clearer understanding of something will be available and significant changes in perception are likely to happen.
Capricorn season and the Solstice bring a clear energetic shift and mark a transition into a new chapter, inviting us to go inward and spend time reflecting on the year that is coming to an end. 2024 comes to a close with a second New Moon, this time in the sign of Capricorn, an opportunity to get clear about our visions and intentions for the year ahead and an invitation to be honest with ourselves about the responsibilities we are willing to take on and what we are ready to commit to.
Let’s have a look at the main astrological transits for December 2024.
New Moon in Sagittarius
Dec 1, 2024, 01:21 AM EST
The New Moon in Sagittarius offers us an invitation to renovate our commitment to learning and growing, and an opportunity to renew our connection with our authentic self. This lunation brings our attention to our relationship to our beliefs and ideals, asking us in what direction we aspire to grow and expand, and inviting us to reflect on how our beliefs need to change in order for us to do so. The Sun and the Moon in Sagittarius are squaring Saturn in Pisces and opposing Jupiter in Gemini. This configuration brings our attention to how we react when our responsibilities or the limitations of the space-time reality seem to prevent us from expanding, growing, and learning in the way we aspire. We invite you to watch our hour long video on our YouTube channel together with Nina where she walks us through the powerful energies of this New Moon in Sagittarius.
Mars stations retrograde in Leo
Dec 6, 2024, 6:33 PM EST
Mars’ shift of motion offers us an invitation to deepen our understanding of our true desires, of what feeds them, of what moves us. Mars’s retrograde period in Leo represents an opportunity to redefine our relationship to instinct, desire, creativity, and sexuality. This period offers us chances to explore the link between sexual energy and creative energy, between desire and creation, between impulse and desire, inviting us to slow down to assess where our urges come from before following them blindly. Mars stations retrograde while in opposition to both Venus and Pluto. This configuration inaugurates a period of intense transformation of our relationships, challenges us to recognize and stop any power plays, and encourages us to find overt ways to create harmony between our needs and desires and those of others.
Venus enters Aquarius, Neptune stations direct in Pisces
Dec 7, 2024, 01:14 AM EST & Dec 7, 2024, 6:43 PM EST
Venus’ ingress in Aquarius brings the spotlight on the changing relationship paradigms and invites us to question existing values and ways of relating we are used to relying upon. This transit motivates us to discover alternative ways to make an income, participate in relationships, and perceive wealth. Venus’s journey through the sign of the Water Bearer supports our desire to create communities of like minds, expand our network of contact, and explore alternatives to mainstream social and financial systems. As Venus enters Aquarius, she immediately crosses Pluto while they both still oppose Mars, increasing the pressure to radically transform the way we show up in relationships and express our feelings, needs, and desires.
Meanwhile, Neptune stations direct in his home sign of Pisces, giving us an opportunity to start integrating what took place during Neptune’s retrograde phase. This event invites us to integrate the experiences, particularly spiritual experiences and experiences of disillusionment, that occurred while Neptune was retrograde. Neptune’s shift of motion inspires us to allow Life to move us and through us, encourages us to move forward by harnessing the flow rather than working against it, and reminds us to trust divine timing.
Full Moon in Gemini & Mercury stations direct in Sagittarius
Dec 15, 2024, 04:01 AM EST & Dec 15, 2024, 3:56 PM EST
The Gemini Full Moon invites us to release disempowering thinking patterns and communication habits. This event offers us an opportunity to deepen our self-awareness, our awareness of communication dynamics, and our awareness of how our upbringing, education, and culture still affect our thinking patterns and beliefs. The Moon is widely conjunct with Jupiter, and both the Sun and the Moon are squaring Neptune in Pisces. This configuration invites us to make sure we can tell fact from fiction and we can discern between what is happening and our story about what is happening. Because of the activation of Neptune, it is wise to be cautious and take time before making drastic decisions, as we may believe we are seeing the truth while still being caught in an illusion.
Just a few hours after the Full Moon peaks, Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, stations direct in Sagittarius. Mercury’s shift of motion is a chance to take action according to what we understood and learned and align to the insights that emerged while Mercury was in retrograde motion. In Sagittarius, the Messenger invited us to rethink, reassess, and reflect on our beliefs, thinking habits, worldviews, and relationship to personal truth. Mercury’s shift of motion gives us opportunities to take action in alignment with our truth, with what is authentic to us, and reorganize our lives in a way that reflects the inner growth that has taken place.
Capricorn season begins
Dec 21, 2024, 04:21 AM EST
The Sun’s ingress into Capricorn coincides with the Solstice, a pivotal energetic shift marking the start of a new season, Winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Regardless of our location, Capricorn season represents a time of introspection, focused on maturation, integration, and self-mastery. As a Cardinal sign, Capricorn initiates us into a higher level of consciousness, connected with a newfound awareness of our karmic duties and the link between power and responsibility. Capricorn season brings the spotlight on our journey toward inner mastery and invites us to move toward deeper integrity, personal responsibility, and accountability. This time of the year invites reflection surrounding the impact we aspire to make on the collective and reminds us to be responsible for how we invest our energy and time, for the reality we are manifesting, and for the legacy we are creating.
New Moon in Capricorn
Dec 30, 2024, 5:26 PM EST
The Capricorn New Moon offers us an invitation to reflect on the past year, on how we changed, and on how our lives changed since the New Moon in Capricorn that took place back in January. This is an interesting time to go back to the intentions we set at that time and notice how everything has unfolded since the start of the calendar year. The Sun and the Moon are sextile with Saturn in Pisces, and this aspect supports our effort toward consistency, maturity, and dedication, and reminds us of the importance of being receptive to Life’s whispers. This is a powerful time to set tangible intentions about what we want to build, manifest, and create during 2025 and beyond.
December 2024 Astrology Forecast: Our Invitation
Mars in Leo, soon retrograde, and Pluto in Aquarius oppose each other for the entire month. Venus will be in the picture for a few days too, conjunct with Pluto. Despite being exact for the second time in January, the Mars-Pluto opposition colors the entirety of December 2024. This potent aspect increases our desire for intensity, passion, and power, bringing to the surface repressed anger, unconscious fears, and needs to control and dominate. The Mars-Pluto opposition, especially while Mars is retrograde, is going to exacerbate the tension between our conscious and unconscious desires and challenge us to recognize the conflict between what our mind wants and what our Soul wants, between what we say we want and what actually drives us, what truly motivates us, and the fears that sabotage us in the background.
Saturn in Pisces and retrograde Jupiter in Gemini are also squaring each other for the entire month and on December 24 their aspect goes exact for the second time. This alignment marks a time of adjustment and reorientation relative to our relationship to our beliefs and guiding philosophies, as well as in how we go about manifesting our visions into form. This Jupiter-Saturn square is an invitation to respect the timing of the cycles of expansion and contraction: it challenges us to be patient as we build a solid foundation from which we can later grow and expand.
December is going to be an intense month, one filled with opportunities for growth and transformation that will give us chances to enter the new calendar year with a deeper level of self-awareness. 2024 ends with a potent emphasis on the archetype of Capricorn and its ruler Saturn: this makes it a particularly potent time to prioritize self-reflection, set tangible intentions for the upcoming year, and get clear about what we aspire to build, manifest, and create in the long term.
We are happy to announce that our highly anticipated 2025 horoscopes are now available and ready for you! This creation is truly special for our team, as it was a long journey creating and bringing this 2025 guidance to life. Thank you for your support, we ❤ you!
