It’s been a whirlwind of a year – the kind of challenging chaos that leaves your hair frizzed out and your muscles tense. But as we enter December, we also begin to leave this year behind and prepare to embark on a new journey.

An Overview of December 2020

This month brings plenty of astrological help in the form of celestial wisdom, guidance, and the gift of abundance thanks to the Sun’s dance through Sagittarius which shines a spotlight on benevolent, expansive Jupiter. When the Sun spends its time in the optimistic sign of Sagittarius, we feel more uplifted, focused on the future, and curious about new philosophical and spiritual concepts.

Jupiter is also a planet that loves to shower us with gifts and good fortune – Sagittarius season is a good time for bold action and good luck. You can expect some kind of positive financial surprise this month, as Jupiter delights in its generosity and gift-giving manner.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 1st of December, spicing up our conversations and sprinkling the seed of confidence over our communication styles.

If you’ve been having a hard time speaking up or sharing your thoughts and ideas with others, you can breathe a sigh of relief because this transit helps you feel more open and honest than ever before.

There’s a New Moon and Solar eclipse occurring on December 14th, both of which connect to the concepts of transformation and new beginnings. This transit, coupled with the inherent possibilities of the new year, will help you feel more motivated towards and positive about the future.

We will feel like things are finally starting to look up – and they are! 

We feel another burst of new energy when Saturn moves into Aquarius on December 17th, encouraging us to take our futures more seriously. This transit urges you to make the necessary commitments now that will help you build the life that you want for yourself eventually. Take advantage of this energy by making a game plan.

The winter solstice occurs on December 21st, which is also when the Sun moves into responsible, reserved Capricorn. Astrologically speaking, the winter solstice denotes the awakening from a slumber. This is when the days start to become longer and more light creeps its way into our lives, illuminating certain issues that may have been buried in the cold dark of winter. And with the Sun entering Capricorn, you’ll feel more motivated than ever to go after that future you want to create for yourself.

We end the month with a Full Moon in Cancer on December 29th. 

Cancer is a sign of emotional depth, creativity, and intuition, helping us round off this month with a connection to our emotional centers. This is the perfect time for a Full Moon Ritual that involves taking inventory of your feelings and letting the healing energy of the Moon tie up any loose ends, emotionally speaking.

Let’s take a look at what this month will bring for you, depending on your Sun sign.
