Dec 3: Venus Trine Uranus
This harmonious connection between Venus and Uranus invites us to embrace change with open hearts. Surprises may emerge in relationships, finances, or creative pursuits, showing us new ways to align with authenticity. This energy encourages freedom in how we connect both with ourselves and with others, reminding us that growth often comes from stepping outside of our comfort zones. This transit is inviting us to bring more spontaneity, authenticity, and excitement to our connections with others, bringing a renewed and fresh perspective to how we approach relationships.
Dec 3: Mercury Conjunct Sun
This alignment sharpens our mental clarity, offering a window of deep self-awareness. Our words and thoughts align with our identity, making it a potent time to embrace truthful self-expression. Insights may surface about what truly matters to us, providing clarity about how to move forward in situations that have previously felt cloudy. Consider: “How can I use my voice to express my needs authentically?”
Dec 4: Sun and Mercury Square Saturn
Saturn’s grounding influence creates a sense of tension, asking us to take responsibility for our words and actions. This transit may feel restrictive, but it’s an opportunity to refine our plans and communicate with greater intention. We are being asked to slow down and prioritize discipline over haste.
Dec 4: Venus Sextile Neptune
This dreamy connection softens our hearts, encouraging compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection. We’re reminded of the beauty of love that transcends the material world—whether through art, meditation, or acts of kindness. It’s a time to see beyond imperfections and connect to the essence of what truly matters.
Dec 6: Mars Moves Retrograde
Mars’ retrograde slows our outward drive, inviting introspection about how we assert ourselves. It’s a time to recalibrate our motivations and reexamine whether our actions align with our deepest desires. Frustrations may arise, but they’re an invitation to practice patience and mindfulness.
Dec 7: Venus Conjunct Pluto
Deep transformation meets love and relationships as Venus merges with Pluto. This energy asks us to face things we have been avoiding, unearthing hidden desires and fears. This transit offers profound empowerment if we’re willing to release what no longer serves us in matters of love, worth, or connection. Consider: “How can I embrace vulnerability as a path to empowerment?”
Dec 7: Sun Opposite Jupiter
When the Sun and Jupiter are in opposition, we may feel stretched between staying true to ourselves and reaching for something larger than life. While Jupiter’s energy can inspire big dreams, it may also lead to overextension or a tendency to overpromise. The Sun asks us to reflect on whether our opportunities truly align with our values and whether we’re honouring the balance between ambition and authenticity. Consider: “Am I chasing growth for its own sake, or does it feel meaningful?”
Dec 7: Venus Moves into Aquarius
Venus in Aquarius shifts our focus to relationships that honour individuality and freedom. This energy asks us to celebrate diversity in connection, prioritizing authenticity and shared ideals. It’s a time to explore how community and collaboration enrich our experience of love.
Dec 7: Neptune Moves Direct
As Neptune moves forward, areas of life that felt murky or stagnant begin to clear. Intuition flows more freely, offering clarity about our dreams and spiritual path. This is a moment to trust in our vision while grounding it in reality. Consider: “How can I balance intuition with practical action?”
Dec 10: Sun Trine Chiron
This harmonious connection between the Sun and Chiron shines a light on healing. We’re invited to acknowledge our wounds with compassion, finding strength in our vulnerabilities. It’s a powerful time to embrace self-acceptance and use our healing journey to inspire others.
Dec 12: Venus Opposite Mars
The dynamic tension between Venus and Mars highlights the balance between passion and harmony in relationships. We may feel a push-pull between independence and closeness, but this energy is inviting us to explore how these energies can coexist.
Dec 15: Mercury Moves Direct
Communication flows more smoothly as Mercury stations direct, resolving confusion or delays from its retrograde period. It’s an ideal time to revisit plans and finalize decisions with clarity and confidence.
Dec 18: Sun Square Neptune
This transit often brings a dreamy, introspective energy, but it can also feel disorienting if we’re seeking tangible outcomes or definitive answers. The Sun represents our sense of self, purpose, and vitality, while Neptune dissolves boundaries, inviting us into the realms of imagination, spirituality, and surrender.
This square can manifest as a temporary haze, where we feel uncertain about our direction or disconnected from reality. However, it’s also a beautiful invitation to explore deeper layers of creativity, compassion, and self-reflection. Consider: “How can I practice surrender while staying true to myself?”
Dec 19: Venus Trine Jupiter
A beautiful flow of energy brings joy, abundance, and generosity. This is a transit that is asking us to open our hearts and embrace abundance—not just in material terms, but in emotional and spiritual ways too. It’s a chance to align with gratitude, deepen our connections, and trust in the unfolding of life’s beauty. By focusing on what feels expansive and aligned, we can make the most of this harmonious energy.
Dec 22: Sun Moves into Capricorn
As the Sun moves into Capricorn, we transition into a season of grounded focus, discipline, and long-term planning. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, is the zodiac’s architect, urging us to reflect on the structures in our lives; considering whether they support or hinder our growth. This is a time to prioritize responsibility, maturity, and the steady work of building a life aligned with our deeper goals.
Dec 23: Venus Sextile Chiron
Healing energy flows into our relationships, offering a chance to mend wounds and deepen connection. This aspect encourages us to approach ourselves and others with compassion and openness.
Dec 26: Mercury Square Saturn
Tension in communication asks us to slow down and clarify our intentions. Saturn reminds us to approach conversations with responsibility and patience, creating space for understanding and respect. Consider: “Where am I feeling blocked in communication, and how can I approach it with care?”, and “What boundaries need to be revisited or reinforced?”
Dec 27: Venus Square Uranus
This transit is giving an opportunity for us to disrupt our deep-seated relationship patterns, creating opportunities for growth, realignment, and deeper authenticity. While this energy may feel unsettling, it’s an opportunity to break free from stagnation and deepen our connections. While squares can feel challenging, they are also catalysts for growth and evolution. This aspect invites us to explore where we may have outgrown certain patterns or where we’re ready to embrace deeper connections that are aligned to our values and desires.
Dec 29: Chiron Moves Direct
While retrograde, Chiron invited us to look inward, to sit with our discomfort, and to explore the roots of our emotional or spiritual pain. Now that it has stationed direct,Chiron asks us to take the insights we’ve gained and use them to create meaningful change in our lives and relationships. It’s a reminder that healing is not just a private experience but also something that can ripple outward, empowering us to support others and show up more authentically in the world. Chiron asks us to honour where we’ve been, acknowledge how far we’ve come, and continue walking the path of growth with courage and grace. Consider: “How have my wounds shaped my growth?”
Dec 31: Mercury Trine Chiron
The year ends on a healing note, encouraging heartfelt communication and understanding. This aspect supports reconciliation and the courage to speak our truth with compassion. Consider: “What conversations can bring closure or healing as the year ends?”
As we move through December, we are reminded that endings and beginnings are woven from the same thread. This month carries the energy of transition, offering us the opportunity to close the year with conscious reflection and empowered choices.
We are invited to align with our highest truths while honouring the discipline required to bring our dreams into reality. Venus’s transformative aspects, the steady grounding of Saturn, and the healing influence of Chiron guide us to connect more deeply with ourselves, our relationships, and our purpose.
Cheers to a December of self-discovery, growth, and alignment—may it bring us closer to the life and relationships we most deeply desire.
