Key Astrological Dates for December 2025

Can you believe we are already in the final month of the year?! Let’s explore the key dates that shape the final chapter of 2025’s celestial story….

4th December- Gemini Full Moon:

The Gemini Full Moon will allow you to sort through ideas and finalise plans. Use this energy to focus on what you want to work on next and put those plans into action. Your heart and head will be ready to merge which will help you communicate your feelings more.

10th December- Neptune Direct in Pisces:

Neptune ends its retrograde and begins to move forward once again. Any fogginess you may have experienced during this period will lift and you can work on having a better connection with your intuition. Your creative side will also be allowed to come to the forefront- make use of it!

11th December- Mercury enters Sagittarius & Last Quarter Moon in Virgo:

With Mercury coming back into Sagittarius, something may come full circle and you’ll be able to pick an idea back up. Use this energy to reconnect with big ideas and plans and focus on this newfound optimism. There will be opportunities to end of the year on a high.

The Last Quarter Moon in Virgo will allow you to tie up any loose ends on any small projects or tasks outstanding. This will free you up for new goal adventures as you enter 2026.

15th December- Mars enters Capricorn:

With Mars moving into the sign of goals, you will find your ambition is greatly magnified. This is a perfect lead into the New Year and you’ll be able to set goals and new long-term plans. Remember to be extra disciplined to set yourself up well for January.

19th December- Sagittarius New Moon:

With the New Moon in Sagittarius, your optimism increases as well as opportunities for new experiences. Be open and ready to make the most of any opportunity that comes your way.

21st December- Sun enters Capricorn & Winter Solstice:

As mentioned before, Capricorn season is a perfect time to work on your goals and long-term plans. This is a great way to end one year and begin another. Focus on what you are feeling most ambitious with and determine what you need to do to make it happen.

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night and the rebirth of the light, a sacred turning point celebrated across ages and traditions. As we know, the Sun enters Capricorn on this day, inviting us to slow down, ground ourselves, and honour the quiet wisdom found in stillness. It’s a moment to reflect on what we’re ready to release with the old year and what seeds we want to plant for the next.

24th December- Venus enters Capricorn:

With Venus now entering Capricorn, you can enjoy being focused on your goals and ambitions over the next few weeks. You’ll be able to craft long-term plans if you remain disciplined and responsible.

25th December- MERRY CHRISTMAS!

27th December- First Quarter Moon in Aries:

Take the initiative with adjustments during this First Quarter Moon in Aries. Make use of energy and enthusiasm to aid progress. Acting quickly and decisively will be beneficial.

December is a nice, calm month astrologically compared to a few we have seen this year. Use this goal oriented energy to get a head start on 2026 and set yourself up for the best year yet.

Thank you for all your support this year – it is so appreciated and does not go unnoticed. I am so looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings!
