Overview

Rahu moves into Capricorn on December 6, placing it in your first house. Expect your sense of self, appearance and ambitions to feel amplified and a little restless, so keep your goals simple and clear. Ketu moves into Cancer, your seventh house, on the same day, which detaches you somewhat from old patterns in partnerships. Saturn in Pisces, your third house, turns direct on December 12. Effort, courage and short-term plans that stalled in recent months can start moving again, slowly. Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo, your eighth house, on December 14. It asks you to revisit shared finances and deeper commitments instead of launching new ones.

Career and Money

Venus stays in Libra, your tenth house, all month. It supports your reputation, your relationships with colleagues and creative or polished work. Mercury is also in the tenth house at the start of the month, which favors meetings, proposals and paperwork in the first days. On December 2 Mercury moves into Scorpio, your eleventh house of gains, so networks, clients and friends become the useful channel for opportunities. The new moon in Scorpio on December 9 opens a fresh cycle in this house, a good moment to set a concrete income or networking goal. From December 22 Mercury enters Sagittarius, your twelfth house, so watch expenses and review contracts and subscriptions before committing. Jupiter's retrograde in the eighth house calls for caution with loans and joint money, so go over the details again.

Relationships

Ketu enters Cancer, your seventh house, on December 6. Partnerships can feel less predictable, and you may notice a pull toward distance or a wish for more space. Talk plainly instead of withdrawing. Rahu in your first house can make you more intense or demanding, so listen before you answer. The Scorpio new moon on December 9 favors friendships and community, and social invitations can lead to warmer connections. Venus in your tenth house helps you keep a courteous, appreciated presence among colleagues and seniors. Saturn turning direct on December 12 in your third house supports honest conversations with siblings or close relatives, where patience and consistency matter more than quick answers.

Energy and Routine

The Sun leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius on December 16 and enters your twelfth house. Your energy turns inward after the middle of the month, and you may want more quiet time, earlier nights and fewer commitments. Before then, the eleventh-house Sun keeps you socially active and motivated. Mars in Leo, your eighth house, all month brings strong drive but can bring friction or impatience, so use it for steady exercise or demanding focused tasks instead of arguments. The Gemini full moon on December 24 falls in your sixth house and brings daily routines, workload and habits to a visible result. Adjust your schedule sensibly. Rahu in your first house can make your mind busy, so a simple evening routine helps.

Advice and Key Dates

On December 2, use Mercury's move into your eleventh house to contact people who can support your plans. On December 6, with Rahu in your first house, choose a few priorities and avoid overreaching. On December 9, write down your goals for the new moon. On December 12, Saturn turns direct, so restart a delayed project or routine at a realistic pace.

On December 22, check your budget as Mercury enters the twelfth house. On December 24, review your work habits and finish pending tasks at the full moon.
