December 2026 Sagittarius Horoscope

Drum roll, please... December is here, Sagittarius, and it’s the grand finale of your year – and what a finale it is! This month brings the end of some cycles (including the year itself) and the vibrant beginning of others, especially for you. It’s Sagittarius season for the first three weeks, so you’re still the zodiac’s It star, and then the energy shifts towards your finances and values as Capricorn season rolls in. You’ll likely feel reflective yet optimistic – a perfect combination as you set your sights on 2027. The cosmos serves up one last helping of new beginnings and emotional closure to ensure you greet the new year lighter, brighter, and ready for adventure.

The crown jewel for you this month is the New Moon in Sagittarius on December 8, landing in your first house of self. This is basically your personal New Year’s Day, astrologically speaking. A New Moon in your sign is like a cosmic reset button specifically for you. It’s a time to plant seeds for what you want to manifest in the next 12 months of your life. Consider making some birthday wishes or intentions: Where do you see yourself by the end of 2027? What personal traits or projects do you want to develop? Under this lunation, you have extra mojo to set those plans into motion. Because it’s in your 1st house, it can even be about reinventing yourself in some way. Maybe you’ve been considering a new look, a new personal brand, or just a new attitude – this is prime time to embrace it. The actions you take and the mindset you adopt around this New Moon can significantly influence your year ahead. So be bold, be authentic, and don’t shy away from aiming high (when do you ever, really?). Also, if you’ve been hesitant about something – like launching a blog, signing up for a course, or reaching out to someone – this New Moon says: go for it. It’s a green light to pursue what aligns with the real you.

Adding to that, around mid-month, your ruling planet Jupiter wraps up its retrograde on December 12 in Leo. Jupiter has been retrograde since early September, encouraging you to internalize some growth. Once it goes direct, you’ll likely feel a subtle shift – an expansion externally again. Jupiter is in your ninth house of travel, knowledge, and vision, so maybe plans that were delayed (like a trip or a certification) start moving forward. You might also feel your optimism amp up another notch, like you’re truly ready to chase big dreams again with confidence. What a lovely boost as you make those New Moon wishes come true.

Now, let’s talk about the emotional bookend of the year: the Full Moon on December 23 in Cancer, illuminating your eighth house of intimacy, shared resources, and deep transformation. This is quite poetic – the year began with a Full Moon in Cancer on January 3, highlighting these themes (remember that?). Now as the year closes, another Full Moon in Cancer comes to bring resolution or culmination to some of those matters. The 8th house is profound; it deals with endings and rebirths, trust and vulnerability, and finances shared or owed (like debts, taxes, inheritances). You might see a financial matter reach conclusion – maybe you pay off a loan or finalize a big investment. Or emotionally, you might finally shake off the vestiges of an old hurt or fear. Since Cancer is about emotions and family, this Full Moon could bring a family financial situation to a head (perhaps discussing an estate or a family business result), or it could simply mean you’re feeling particularly sensitive and nostalgic around the holidays. Cancer Full Moons can be a bit weepy, but not necessarily in a bad way; sometimes it’s cathartic tears of release or joy. Given all the internal work signaled by this year’s astrology (especially that Venus retro recently and Saturn’s influence earlier), this Full Moon could signify you truly letting go of something that used to hold power over you – be it a past relationship, a grievance, or a personal insecurity. It’s like shedding an old skin. Don’t be surprised if you have a deep conversation with someone you trust around this date, or even a heart-to-heart with yourself via journaling or meditating, that leaves you feeling lighter and more at peace. In relationships, the 8th house Full Moon can intensify intimacy – perhaps you and a partner reach a new level of closeness because you both open up about your deeper feelings. Alternatively, if something’s been brewing beneath the surface (like an unresolved issue between you two or within a close partnership), it might come out now. The key with Cancer energy is to handle it with tenderness. Be gentle with yourself and others; everyone’s inner child is a bit on edge under this influence. If family dynamics are challenging, maybe set some healthy boundaries for the holidays – step away when you need a breather, etc. But also embrace the love that’s there; Cancer Full Moons often highlight how much we do care about those in our inner circle.

Also notable in December: Venus is still retrograde until December 29 (stationing direct right before New Year’s). Through most of December, Venus retro in Scorpio continues to urge you to reflect on secret desires and heal old relationship wounds. By now, you might have a really clear sense of what or who is not coming with you into 2027. Use those last retro weeks to gently wrap up or release anything leftover – whether it’s forgiving someone (maybe silently, just in your heart) or acknowledging to yourself that you’re ready to stop revisiting that chapter. When Venus goes direct at month’s end, you’ll feel a fresh wave in your love and social life. Plus, Venus will head into Sag in the new year, making you quite the magnet, so clearing emotional space now is worth it.

As the month (and year) ends, Capricorn season begins on December 21, shifting focus a bit to your second house of money, resources, and values. You might use the final week or so to think about your financial goals for 2027. The holidays might bring some spending (Capricorn energy would prefer you budget wisely), but it could also bring gifts or bonuses your way (nice!). Perhaps you consider a practical New Year’s resolution like building a better savings plan or investing in something meaningful to you. It’s grounding, which complements your fiery vibe nicely – a reminder to create tangible security to support your big adventures.

December is truly a full-circle moment for you. From that empowering Sag New Moon launching a new you, to the Cancer Full Moon helping you leave emotional baggage behind, you’re poised to cross the finish line of 2026 stronger, wiser, and free. Celebrate all the milestones – the ones out in the world and the quiet inner ones too. As you count down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, take pride in how you navigated the twists and turns of this year. You deepened (thanks to Saturn and those eclipses), you expanded (hello Jupiter and Uranus shifts), and you never lost your hopeful spark. Now, a whole new chapter beckons. If 2026 was any indication, it’s going to be one heck of a ride – but hey, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Cheers to you, Sagittarius, and Happy New Year!
