Sagittarius Horoscope for December 2025

This is another fascinating month, Sagittarius, when the outer planet combinations that are swirling around still provide excitement and transformation, especially for your ideas and their articulation, and when there is a lovely amalgam of identity and freedom of expression combined with a sense of restriction that feels natural. With the long-term trine between Jupiter, your ruler, with Saturn in Pisces, featured in this month’s astrology, you could be hitting the sweet spot between liberty and compulsion, generous ease and prudent constraint. Partnership provides a few unexpected twists and turns as well, with Uranus still near the 0°-mark of your opposite sign. Your tenth sector of career and professional life, ruled by a careening Mercury, has probably seen its own ups and downs lately, and you have also been in a process of deep reflection concerning these matters, continuing into the present month. One trick there that could be swimming into greater consciousness is that your guidance in vocational choices be derived from only those principles and values that are utterly you own. Another factor in the current astrology that is of importance could be the prominence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, as featured in the Gemini Full Moon of December 4th. If signs of persistent ancient wounding do arise, the hope is that, rather than avoidant behavior, they can be met by loving recognition and acceptance. That approach could put you on the road to healing the hurt and lonely places within you – as resulting from early trauma. When the New Moon of December 19th lands in the last degrees of your sign, that might be an indication of progress in self-acceptance and of entering into a further stage of your evolutionary development.

The following was written by our in-house astrologer, Leslie Benson.

Previous New Moon – from November 19th
December begins in the subtle reverberations of the Scorpio New Moon from November 19th, which activated your twelfth sector of rest, reflection, and the quiet spaces where instincts and dreams live, and also sparked your own identity sector, since it took place right on the very edge of your sign. Arriving in a rare conjunction with Mercury in Cazimi and forming a grand kite with Jupiter, Saturn–Neptune, and Uranus, this lunation may have revealed something previously hidden or emotionally submerged, pointing to an inner pattern ready to shift. As the new month opens, you may still feel the echo of that revelation, noticing a subterranean reorganization of your internal landscape. This moment sets the tone for December’s early rhythm, governing its first nearly three weeks, and asking you to honor what your deeper self is sorting through as your solar season continues to unfold.

Mercury Direct and Recovering, since November 29th
Mercury stationed direct on November 29th, beginning the slow turn from inward reflection toward clearer outer expression as it approaches the end of the shadow period on December 16th. Early December still carries a contemplative tone as Mercury retraces its Scorpio steps, helping you integrate insights from the retrograde. You may find whispers from your dream states or internal voices speaking to you with important messages. When Mercury re-enters Sagittarius on December 11th, your first sector of identity becomes more active and your voice steadier. The shift unfolds gradually, offering a sense of gathering clarity as the month unfolds, rather than an immediate breakthrough.

Gemini Full Moon – December 4th
The Gemini Full Moon on December 4th illuminates your seventh sector of partnership, emphasizing the balance between independence and mutual understanding. Full Moons often highlight dynamics that have reached a natural turning point, and this one encourages reflection on how you communicate your needs within close relationships. Chiron, the Wounded Healer is also highlighted in this Full Moon, and it is possible that inner wounding might arise, perhaps as temporary blocks to your creative self-expression. This can be the signal to begin exploring these residues from early childhood wounding, a process which could result in eventual healing of these issues. Also, with the lunar nodes forming a same-degree grand cross to this Full Moon, relational patterns may feel more pronounced, revealing where old habits meet new awareness. Conversations may clarify where reciprocity is needed or where relational truth is emerging. This lunation supports honest dialogue and reveals what is ready to be seen, offering a moment of insight that can guide the choices you make as the month unfolds.

Jupiter Trine Saturn – Ongoing Through Mid-December
A steadying influence threads through December as your ruling planet, Jupiter, still traveling in Cancer, continues its supportive trine to Saturn in Pisces. This harmonious aspect connects your eighth sector of shared resources and deeper healing with your fourth sector of home, roots, and emotional foundations. You may sense a growing stability beneath the surface, as though something important is settling into place. The trine encourages long-term thinking, emotional maturity, and grounded trust in how you move through your inner process. It highlights what is sustainable, helping you orient yourself toward commitments and structures that support your wellbeing over time.

Sun, Mars, and Venus Square Saturn–Neptune Throughout the Month
Throughout December, the Sun, Mars, and Venus late in your sign form squares to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. This takes place just before these inner planets ingress into Capricorn, and during this week to several days this dynamic interplay could activate tension between your personal momentum and your deeper emotional needs. With your first sector of self and fourth sector of home and family engaged, you may notice alternating currents of drive and sensitivity. These squares create the tension that fosters meaningful growth, inviting you to hone your intentions and aims. This pattern encourages humility, authenticity, and a willingness to adjust expectations. The squares highlight the importance of aligning your actions with your inner truth rather than external pressures or urgency.

Neptune Stations Direct – December 10th
Neptune stations direct in Pisces on December 10th, heightening emotional sensitivity within your fourth sector of roots and private space. The days around this station may feel soft or introspective, offering subtle insight into an inner pattern or memory that has been hard to name. This moment invites quiet reflection rather than action, connecting with imagination and compassion for your inner child.

Mars Enters Capricorn – December 14th
Mars enters Capricorn on December 14th, bringing focus to your second sector of resources and values. After its time activating your first sector of self, this shift encourages practical effort and clearer priorities. You may feel motivated to organize finances, streamline commitments, or define what truly supports your stability. Mars in Capricorn favors steady progress, helping you translate recent insight into grounded action without pushing beyond your natural pace.

Sagittarius New Moon – December 19th
The Sagittarius New Moon of December 19th marks a true turning point of the month. Arriving in your own sign, and therefore your first sector of identity, it carries added significance for you, especially around renewal, self-definition, and the beginning of a new personal cycle. With the Saturn–Neptune square in late Pisces, or your home and family sector, woven through this lunation, your intentions may feel both inspired and grounded, shaped by a deeper understanding of what is real for you now. This New Moon invites you to orient yourself toward what feels meaningful, authentic, and aligned with the person you are becoming. There is a sense of settling into yourself, as though the inner work of recent weeks is now ready to take its place within your forward direction.

Sun Enters Capricorn – December 21st
When the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st, your attention turns toward the practical foundations of your life. Your second sector of materiality becomes emphasized, prompting reflection on how you cultivate stability, steward your resources, and make choices that honor your evolving values. The tone becomes quieter and more deliberate, encouraging measured steps rather than rapid expansion. This shift helps you root the insights of Sagittarius season in something enduring.

Venus Enters Capricorn – December 24th
Venus enters Capricorn on December 24th, further activating your second sector and bringing refinement to your priorities. You may feel drawn to simplify, clarify, or invest more meaningfully in what supports your wellbeing. Venus in Capricorn emphasizes sincerity and grounded connection, helping you choose what holds long-term value. This transit inspires the last full week of December with a steady, purposeful note, guiding you toward a new year shaped by clarity, alignment, and self-trust.
