December 2026 Scorpio Horoscope

Coasting and Toasting: December arrives with a gentle, festive spirit – a stark contrast to the intensity of earlier months. Now, you find yourself in a period of gratitude and consolidation. With your personal planets having done their duty, the cosmos has fewer surprises this month, giving you space to celebrate and simply be. The Sun spends the first three weeks in optimistic Sagittarius, lighting up your 2nd house of money, resources, and self-worth. This brings a buoyant tone to your finances and values. You might receive a year-end bonus or gift that affirms how far you’ve come. More importantly, you feel a sense of inner abundance. Even if your bank account isn’t exactly at millionaire status (yet!), you recognize the wealth of knowledge, experience, and love you’ve accumulated in 2026. Sagittarius Season also tends to boost your generosity – you might play Secret Santa or donate to causes close to your heart, eager to spread the light that you’ve found.

Deck the Halls: The holiday vibe is strong and sweet. Venus in Sagittarius until December 29 continues to bless your financial sector, which bodes well for holiday shopping and maybe even snagging great deals. But careful: Venus here also encourages treating loved ones (and yourself) lavishly, so keep an eye on the budget if needed. That said, you likely have a bit more to spare now, or at least you’re spending in alignment with your values. Perhaps you invest in a meaningful gift for someone special or choose experiences over things (like tickets to a show for your partner instead of another gadget). Your relationships benefit from the jovial Sag energy – more laughter, more spontaneity. If you’re coupled, you two could be planning a New Year’s getaway or just enjoying being goofy together (ugly sweater contest, anyone?). If single, you might actually love the freedom now – flirting at holiday parties, no strings attached, just the fun of mistletoe moments and dancing into the night. There’s a sense that you’re falling in love with life again, and that aura is attractive to everyone around you.

Marathon, Not a Sprint: Taskmaster Saturn in Aries and dreamy Neptune in Aries are now steadily trekking through your 6th house of work and health (they’ll be there for a while). They aren’t causing drama this month; rather, they quietly remind you to keep up the good habits you implemented. Maybe you’ll sign up for a New Year’s 5K run or maintain your weekly meal-prep ritual even amid holiday temptations. It’s about consistency now. You’ve proved to yourself you can handle curveballs; December’s gift is enjoying the present while maintaining the discipline that supports your wellbeing. Balance is key: allow yourself the gingerbread cookie, but also go for that refreshing winter walk under the crisp sky.

Full Moon Finale: Every December has its big reflective moment with the Full Moon, and on December 25 (yes, Christmas Day), a Full Moon in Cancer graces the sky. How poetic – a Cancer Full Moon in your expansive 9th house to cap off the year. This lunation brings emotions and nostalgia to a peak – quite fitting for a holiday centered on home and memories. Being in Cancer, it shines a gentle light on family and long-distance connections. Some Scorpios might travel to see relatives or welcome loved ones from afar. There could be a profound heart-to-heart with a family member that heals something from the past. Or you find yourself deeply moved by a sense of belonging (perhaps a new addition to the family or a gathering that reminds you of the old days). Because it’s in your 9th house, there’s also a sense of completion of a learning cycle. You might have a realization about the beliefs you’ve shed or embraced this year. It’s the kind of full moon where you step back and see the big picture: how the challenges, the surprises, the love, the loss – all of it – have been your spiritual curriculum. And you’ve passed with flying colors.

This full moon may inspire you to share your story. Maybe you give a little impromptu toast at Christmas dinner, expressing gratitude and wisdom gleaned. Or you write a year-in-review journal entry or blog that captures your journey. Cancer energy encourages vulnerability; don’t be surprised if you tear up (tears of release, joy, or just the beauty of the moment). It’s okay – let it flow. You’re closing out a meaningful chapter.

Vision of the Future: After the full moon, the last week of December feels like a soft transition. The Sun enters Capricorn on December 22, highlighting your 3rd house of communication, which could see you chatting more with siblings or neighbors during the holidays, or making plans for short trips. Venus entering Capricorn on December 29 further adds a tone of thoughtful connection as the year ends. Perhaps you’ll pen some handwritten notes or set intentions with friends for the new year over coffee. New Year’s Eve itself has the Moon in Virgo or Libra (depending on timing), which is nice and sociable. But truly, the main fireworks happened earlier. You might opt for a more intimate New Year’s Eve – maybe a small gathering with those who matter most, or a reflective ritual to welcome 2027. After the year you’ve had, you’ve earned a peaceful entry into the next.

Mercury is direct and zipping along, Mars is powering you with confidence, and by year’s end, Jupiter in Leo is still crowning your chart’s peak. That tells me you’re ending 2026 on a high note, with evidence that your upward trajectory is only beginning. Don’t be surprised if late December brings a hint or foreshadowing of a big opportunity on the horizon – a snippet of conversation, an email, a sudden idea that lights you up. It’s like a trailer for 2027’s feature presentation starring you.

Overall: December is the harmonious coda to your symphony of 2026. There’s celebration, reflection, and above all, heart. You feel connected – to others and to your own path – in a way that you maybe haven’t before. That is the true treasure this year has given you. As you toast to the new year at 11:59 pm on December 31, think of that Scorpio phoenix we often talk about. This year, you didn’t just talk about it – you lived it. In 2026, you rose from ashes, you soared, you confronted storms, and you soared higher still. Now, perched at this new height, you greet 2027 not with trepidation but with excitement and trust. The stars in the midnight sky are aligning in your favor, and your journey continues – bright, bold, and entirely on your own empowering terms.
