Happy December, Virgo, and welcome to the last month of the year. During November, Pluto settled into Aquarius, where it will stay for the next two decades. This month your attention shifts to more immediate matters such as two lunations that could affect your professional and social life.
But first, mark down Friday, December 6, as the warrior planet Mars goes retrograde in your spiritual 12th House. Mars is an assertive planet, so its backward dance is a lovely time to tap into the softer side of spirituality. Try something rooted in self-care, such as a spiritual bath or a night in with tarot cards. Also on Friday, December 6, the sensual planet Venus enters Aquarius and your 6th House, which is all about wellness. If that involves a new skin-care routine, take a peek these Best of Beauty winners for inspiration.
The next day, on Saturday, December 7, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, also stations in your 6th House. Basically, Virgo, this first weekend of the month is best spent getting cozy at home treating yourself. Also on Saturday, December 7, the dreamy planet Neptune goes direct in Pisces and your 7th House of Partnership, ending any feelings of lethargy you may have felt towards romance. Neptune direct should also help clear up any misunderstandings. This means that this first weekend is also going to be ultra romantic. If you do hang out with a romantic interest, it’s likely best spend enjoying one another’s company at home or over a delicious dinner rather than late nights of partying.
Your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, ends its retrograde on Sunday, December 15. Now that it’s direct, any misunderstandings should ease up. If any pesky exes have been in your inbox, hopefully they’ll crawl back where they came from. It goes direct just in time for holiday travel. Also on Sunday, December 15, the sky lights up with a Gemini full moon affecting your 10th House of Social Status. Full moons are the lunar phase associated with results and manifestation. While we can’t promise any security, unfortunately, in our country, we can tell you when the stars are feeling generous with you. And this date, thanks to the full moon in your 10th House on the same day and the end of Mercury retrograde is one of them.
The sun enters Capricorn, on the Winter Solstice and Yule, on Saturday, December 21. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, making this date perfect for getting cozy and seeing family or friends. You can think of Yule as a Pagan Christmas, in fact, many Yule traditions, such as decorating trees and lighting candles were incorporated into Christmas.
The holidays can be challenging for many people, perhaps especially this year, so reach out to your friends.
If you’re looking for a date to connect with chosen family after spending time with blood relatives, look no further than Sunday, December 29, when Chiron, an asteroid known as “the wounded healer,” ends its retrograde and goes direct in your transformative 8th House. The holidays can be challenging for many people, perhaps especially this year, so reach out to your friends. Even if you have a lovely relationship with your relatives, they may not. Connecting with your chosen family is the best way to make use of the healing Chiron offers.
The month comes to a close with a Capricorn new moon, the lunation associated with fresh starts, on Monday, December 30. Try to do something fun on this date. The new moon takes place in your pleasurable 5th House, making it great for sex, beauty, or all things decadent. It’s a lovely excuse to don your sequins for New Year’s Eve parties, or, conversely, tap into your hermit nature and turn down late-night parties to stay in and celebrate at home. Enjoy the New Year, and we’ll see you in 2025.
