Your December 2024 Horoscopes are Here!
1 STEP BACK TO GO 2 STEPS FORWARD
Here we are in the last month of the Gregorian Calendar (though not the astrological finish to the year which is in March). This is a Month where things can feel like they’re going backwards, there’s a push to slow down and get really aware of where you are repeating old patterns that are simply not serving you. This is a month to pay attention to detail, to be really clear in what you are saying and speaking up if you haven’t quite understood what someone was saying (instead of nodding in agreement). Added to that if you have big plans for next year, be prepared for these to be tested and for you to get clear on whether these are coming from a need to prove yourself or to serve the world as Mars stations retrograde from the 7th.

Aries: March 21 – April 19
Although there is a lot happening this month for you, dear Aries, underpinning it all is a sense of optimism and total abundance. Even as the universe throws you lessons, or challenges you – this inner optimism will see you thrive. Don’t be surprised if you’re called to take the stage, share your light or open up to more of your public persona from the 13th. The start of this month is calling for you to travel, to embrace new horizons in your life, and allow your life to expand in the process. Just notice that around the 4th conversations can feel challenging, and inspiration can wane a little. As Mars (your ruler) stations Retrograde on the 7th (until 24th of February) you can find that it’s time to slow down, and you might notice that your drive feels a little off. This is a time to get really aware of where you are acting from old childhood programming that no longer serves you. Now if you need to sign contracts, book travel or have important ‘teaching’ conversations, Mercury will station direct on the 16th, if you can, wait until this time. As the Solstice hits on the 21st with the Sun entering Capricorn, this spells a season calling for you to focus on your work, on how you are structuring your life and can see you feeling a little more ‘adult’ with your responsibilities. Use this season to help yourself plan for the year ahead, and put the ideas that appeared in Sagittarius Season into practical + lasting action
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Sagittarius Season (which started on the 22nd of November) has been stirring up all sorts of trouble as it is calling for you to see the ways in which you limit yourself through your own thinking. You know that the restriction you feel in life actually has little to do with the external world, and more to do with your thoughts about it. The 4th can bring this lesson to a head, so don’t be surprised if you feel as if you’re not making traction or getting what was promised. Instead of blaming others, look within and see where you are blocking yourself. You’ll find that there is some resolution around this on the 6th. As Mars stations retrograde on the 7th (until the 24th of February) you can find that your sense of direction feels a little off, as you’re being called to slow things down (particularly energy around your home + family) and start to see how you can approach life in a different way. The Full Moon on the 15th is drawing your attention to finances, and the value you place on your voice. This is a time where you can start to understand the relationship between your personal sense of value, and how that is reflected through the material realm that surrounds you. As the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st (which marks the Solstice) it’s time for you to see how your hard work is starting to pay off, and to spend time finding a beautiful balance between freedom + responsibility. In fact, this is a season that can call for you to travel more for work, consider a new path of studies or simply find some expansion through your career. Allow the possibilities to flow and be brought into reality through your beautiful practical + tenacious nature.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20.
The start of this month is calling for you to focus on the places you’re ready to grow in your relationships (be that personal or business), as well as acknowledge where you’re finding it hard to commit through a fear of being restricted. You can find that this energy hits a peak on the 4th, and if you can, just sit with it – allowing it to show you what you’re ready to learn…As the 6th will provide you with valuable insight into the situation at hand and will help you work out exactly how to move forward (wait until the 16th when Mercury is direct to make any big moves). Mars stations Retrograde from the 7th until the 24th of February next year, stirring up big energy around how you speak before listening and where you might be getting wrapped up in your own needs without fully considering what others want. That said this can also be a time of immense creativity when it comes to using your voice – be that singing, writing, or sharing your truth. The Full Moon in Gemini on the 15th marks your own personal start to the year. It is shedding light on a new path, a new sense of self and relationship with your body that has been slowly unfolding over the last 6 months. As the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, marking the Solstice, this is a portal into some big transformative energy for you and it can see you stepping into new work, a new role or responsibilities over the new year.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22.
It’s time to put a little extra focus on your wellbeing (if you haven’t felt the nudges from your body already). The start of December is calling for you to look after yourself, to slow things down so you don’t burn out and to consider new ways you might support your health (even incorporating more of a spiritual angle). The 4th marks a day for you to rest (if you can), and to also avoid any rash conversations which you know will leave you feeling exhausted + overcommitted. That said the 6th provides some really important insight into how you’re ready to speak up for yourself, where you need to ask for a little more help and even an understanding of how you can better support the way you serve others. As Mars stations Retrograde on the 7th (until the 24th of February) you can find that old lessons around worthiness re-appear. This can look like saying yes to something because you feel you need financial security (even though it will cost you some of your wellbeing). Just know you don’t have to rush into anything. As the Gemini Full Moon peaks on the 15th, it’s time to really tune into your intuition, and retreat a little from the world. You can find that this Moon hits you with some amazing downloads + insights into your truth. As the Sun moves into Capricorn – marking the Solstice – on the 21st, the cosmos is shifting your focus to relationships (both business + personal). You can find that this is a time of make or break - particularly if things are already on shaky ground. The opportunity of this season is to rebuild, and restructure so that your partnerships can go the long-term.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
The start of December is a time for you to play, to romance and to re-ignite that beautiful creative essence that lives within you. Even though there can be some bumps this month, if you anchor in this child-like playfulness you’ll be able to find joy + happiness even in the serious. One of these dates is the 4th, when it can feel like your mind is calling for you to be ‘productive’ and ‘adult’ even though there is this deep urge to be present and a little self-absorbed. You’ll find that there’s some clarity + resolution around this energy on the 6th, and you might feel called to write down what you learn, be inspired by new ideas and even to find joy in simply being. That said, don’t act on these ideas (if you can) until Mercury stations direct on the 16th (as this will ensure things move smoothely). As Mars stations Retrograde on the 7th in your sign, you can find that it’s time to slow down new projects and be really intentional in where you are spending your energy (+ what is driving your motivation). The Gemini Full Moon on the 15th is shedding light on important conversations with friends, on the need to raise your voice for those without one and to really speak honestly about what you believe. This is an energy that has been building within you over the last 6 months. As the Sun moves into Capricorn, marking The Solstice, on the 21st you can find you need to really step up how you are looking after yourself. In the lead up to the holiday period it can be time to schedule some time out so that you have the capacity to serve and be present with the people you love.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
It’s time to come home to yourself – and that can manifest physically as visiting your family home, or metaphysically as a deep desire to just retreat from the world. In fact, the start of December can find you feeling really introverted, which is in stark contrast to the usual extraversion of this season. So remember if you have a deep calling to stay at home, to be by yourself, or simply recharge in your own company honour that call. The 4th can bring up some funky energy around feeling restricted as well as overcommitted. Be really careful of conversations at this time as there is a high likelihood you’ll misinterpret what a family member or close friend has to say – so re-read, check and then respond. The 6th can bring some incredible insight into the relationship you have with yourself and where you feel your belong. This is a day to pick-up a pen and journal so that you remember the wisdom that comes through for a future date (remember that Mercury will station direct on the 16th which can clear up a lot of the current murkiness). The 7th sees Mars stationing Retrograde (until the 24th of February), and this can bring about natural closure, endings as well as the opening of new paths to walk. Don’t be surprised if over the next 3 months it feels like you’re sitting in a portal somewhere in between finishing + starting something new. Just remember that during this retrograde season you don’t need to rush anything or have the answers. Instead make friends with this liminal space. The Gemini Full Moon on the 15th is helping you understand what is next in your career – you can receive some important news or have long overdue conversations that help get the ball rolling in this area of your life. As the Sun moves into Capricorn, marking the Solstice, on the 21st you can find that it’s time to get creative, romantic and expressive. This is a Season that can see you taking your incredible practicality and using it to create long-term structure in your creative ideas, your romantic relationships and even in how you express yourself in your work.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
This is a time for conversations, to learn to trust your intuition (a little more) and for working through the ways in which your fear the power of your voice. The caveat to this is that you’re also being called to learn the difference between the voice of the ego (and its unending desires), and the quieter voice of the truth that lives behind this (you could call this the voice of the divine). The energy around you can feel particularly sticky while Mercury is Retrograde (until the 16th), manifesting as not fully hearing what someone else is saying, thinking you’re listening to your intuition but it’s just old programming, and feeling restricted through unexpected news that comes through at this time. This can feel particularly strong around the 4th. So if you notice that the energy feels uncomfortable instead of running or trying to undo a commitment, see if you can stay with it and learn from it, as on the 6th the universe will help you see what lies at the heart of this issue, and help you see the pattern you are slowly letting go of. On the 7th Mars will station Retrograde until the 24th, you can find that this brings up a lot of energy around your friendships and the ways in which your direction in life + actions are really influenced by the approval of these people. Know that the next 3 months will have you slowly working through this and starting to release this need to ‘please’. The Gemini Full Moon on the 15th is the luckiest of the year for you, as it calls for you to take that trip, to step into new studies and expand your consciousness. Even the smallest wish can yield incredible results – so use this moon wisely. As the Sun moves into Capricorn, marking the Solstice, on the 21st it is calling you home – physically and metaphysically. This is a Season which can see you addressing issues around your sense of belonging and fitting in – as well as finding yourself working on your home, changing residences or simply visiting the home of your upbringing
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
There is a big focus on money and finances at the start of this month, and you can find that internally a lot of this being stirred up around your sense of worth. This is a time to relish in the abundance you have, instead of longing for more, wishing you had what someone else does or comparing your situation to another. Remember that money is purely karmic, it is there as a lesson and a portal to understanding yourself. You can find that this lesson feels particularly strong around the 4th, as the universe can have you feeling like what you’re investing in isn’t paying off or that you’re not being properly rewarded for your efforts. Before you act on this energy, take a moment to slow down, as the 6th will bring you some much needed insight + understanding with how to work with this energy. Know that a lot of this tension will blow over when Mercury stations Direct on the 16th, so up until that point be very careful with any financial documents you’re signing or conversations around material possessions as you can find that what you think you have agreed to isn’t reciprocated. As Mars stations Retrograde on the 7th you can find your motivation at work waning, and a sense that there is a new path you want to follow that’s more exciting + inviting. While Mars is Retrograde (until the 24th of February) be careful with starting something new in this area of your life as you can find that what looks ‘shiny and new’ is actually just the same thing in a different packaging. The Gemini Full Moon on the 15th is deeply transformative, and it’s here to help shed light on the ways in which words have been used to control and manipulate you…and in turn how you might be using your own words (subconsciously) to keep this cycle going. As the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st marking the Solstice, the universe is shifting your attention to ‘adult’ conversations, and serious meetings. This is a time to be really considered in how you speak, making sure you’ve understood all the detail and not feel you have to rush. You can find at lot of this energy is focused in your work.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
It can feel a little like you’re on the precipice of something new but it hasn’t quite manifested. There can be lot of promising conversations and ideas…yet something seems to be holding this new energy back. That thing would be Mercury Retrograde, which will be at play until the 16th. So, if you can chill out a little bit, and trust that things are being slowed down to align with cosmic timing (not the egos). You can find this energy is particularly digging on the 4th, when it can feel like things really hit a standstill. Have faith, and know that there will be clarity around this on the 6th – as well as tremendous insight into what you are being taught in this retrograde season. Now Mars will station Retrograde on the 7th (until the 24th of February) marking a time when new paths and adventures can appear that potentially lead you overseas or into a more expanded way of seeing the world. You can find that you’re being driven by passion and an immense sense of joy. Just try not to rush things, and be really aware of when you might be repeating old childhood patterns that you know won’t serve you in the long-term. As the Gemini Full Moon peaks on the 15th it is shedding light on intimate partnerships and business relationships, bringing to the surface new connections and important conversations. As the Sun moves into Capricorn, marking the Solstice, on the 21st you can find that the universe pushes your focus towards the material realm and into the world of money + property. This is a Season where you can find it’s time to focus on your own financial independence and how you’re valued for your work.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
The start of December is calling for you to rest, retreat and listen to your own inner guidance. You can find that there is a strong calling to connect with the divine and to invest in your own spiritual practices. Added to that there can be an underlying sense that you know you need to let go or bring to a close the ways in which you feel you need to control everything + everyone around you (even subconsciously). This can feel particularly intense while Mercury is Retrograde until the 16th, hitting a peak on the 4th when it can feel like you’re really starting to see how you restrict your own potential out of fear and lack of faith that everything will work out. If you can, sit in this energy, and learn from it as when the 6th rolls around you’ll find there is incredible insight + wisdom to unlock to help you move through this. Mars stations Retrograde on the 7th (until the 24th of February) marking a period where the universe is calling for you to see where you are being motivated by old subconscious + childhood programming which has you fearing changing, thinking you can only get your needs met by manipulating others and over-organising as a trauma response. This is a time to be deliberate in your action, and really see were you are ready to let this programming go (for yourself and all the people who are affected by it around you). The Gemini Full Moon on the 15th, is bringing to light a new cycle in your health + wellbeing. You can find that this is a time when you feel called to start a new self-care program, exercise regime or simply giving yourself the opportunity to put in the place boundaries you need to fill your own cup. If you’re already feeling a little burnt-out in the lead up to this Moon, do your best to work ahead of the astrology and rest. As the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, marking the Solstice, you can find that this is a season of new beginnings and opportunities in your work. This is an energy you feel at home in, and it will reward you for your consideration, practicality and diligence.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
A big focus for you at the start of this month is on friendships and soul connections…this can also extend into the people you see as your fellow revolutionaries and who hold similar values to you. Just remember that while Mercury is Retrograde (until the 16th) there can be lots of situations where miscommunication and misunderstandings with these people can spring up. Know that these mishaps are here to teach you a really important lesson, like how you need to be clear in what you are saying as well as be open to hearing differing opinions to your own – instead of seeing that as a limitations, understand that there is opportunity in this difference. You’ll feel this lesson really strongly on the 4th, so see if you can avoid going back to what feels comfortable and instead sit with it + listen to its teaching… as on the 6th there will be a sense of clarity and deep insight into how you can adapt + change how you-show up in these situations. Mars will station Retrograde on the 7th until the 24th of February taking you on a 3-month journey of understanding where your desire for partnerships comes from…and whether your motivations in both intimate + business relationships is really serving the other person or if there is an old childhood dynamic at play where your focus is only on getting your needs met. Remember that this retrograde period is a time to be open to learning more about yourself, and allowing it to help you enter a new level of intimacy and love in the process. The Full Moon in Gemini on the 15th, is calling for joy, playfulness and childlike abandon. You can find that it puts you in a deeply creative mood where you’re called to express yourself artistically or through words. Finally as the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st (marking the Solstice) you can find that it’s time to go within, to spend a little more time in retreat and even dive deeper into your own spiritual practices.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Sagittarius Season which will last until the 21st, is placing a big focus on your work, responsibility and how you structure your life. This can feel really uncomfortable, as it calls for you to be a little more practical than usual…as well as open to change. This can hit a pinnacle on the 4th, when you can find that conversations at work feel restrictive and limiting. Know that this is part of Mercury Retrograde’s charm, and will be a lesson that you work with until the 16th (when it stations direct). If you can, do your best to feel into what this tension stirs-up within you, and how the mind is fighting with the reality in front of it. As Mars stations Retrograde on the 7th until the 24th of February, it’s calling for you to consider where you motivation is coming from and whether you are pushing yourself (and your health) a little too much in order to reach some amorphous goal. Over this 3-month journey pay attention to your wellbeing and allow it to be the guide in how you move forward in your life – recognising that when the body feels pain you might be metaphorically heading the wrong way. The Gemini Full Moon on the 15th is calling you home and this can manifest as a time of speaking to family members, people you live with or who are helping you with your current residence. This is an energy that asks for you to be flexible, and to bravely speak-up for what you need in order to feel at home + in a place of belonging. As the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, marking the Solstice, you can find that this is a season where you’re called to come out of your shell and be a little more social than usual. Don’t worry you’ll be able to pick and choose what you do, but the universe is giving you a little more energy to work with groups of people or to simply catch up with old friends.
