ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):
Are you ready for an action-packed December? The nature of that action might surprise you. While this month brings significant astrological activity, the "action" lies in reflection and preparation. Your ruling planet, Mars, is retrograde, urging you to tie up loose ends, clear out emotional and physical clutter, and say goodbye to distractions. This month’s astrology invites you to finish business so you can start fresh and embrace new opportunities in the year ahead.
Mercury retrogrades early in the month (until December 15), so you may experience delays or communication challenges. Build extra time into your plans, whether for travel, meetings, or projects that your focused attention. If responses are slow or plans shift, try not to take it personally. Allow yourself and others some grace.
Mercury stations direct on December 15, the same day as the Gemini Full Moon. This lunation energizes you, helping you check off tasks on your to-do list. It illuminates your priorities, helping you clarify what intentions to set two weeks later at the industrious Capricorn New Moon on the thirtieth.
It’s a time of radical self-awareness, and consequently, your relationships require more patience. Whether exploring new career opportunities or connecting with friends, you’re walking a fine line between assertiveness and gentleness. Lean into your natural courage to say what you need to say with care.
The Sun shines in Sagittarius until December 21, encouraging meaningful connections and playful relaxation. Prioritize time with friends and loved ones who uplift and inspire you. This nurturing energy will be the balm you need as you prepare for the wild astrology of 2025. Let the end of the month be a time of celebration. A friendly aspect between Venus and Jupiter on the 19th helps set the stage.
