We made it – some of us with hopeful eyes, some of us still bewildered at how the year managed to slip through our fingers, some of us carrying grief we never quite got around to naming. This is the moment to sit with yourself, to sift through the rubble and the radiance of the last twelve months, and see what wisdom wants to follow you into the next chapter. It’s a deeply Capricorn-coded ritual as the cosmic season shifts on 21 December with the Summer Solstice.

But before that doorway opens, two lunations tear the sky wide: Gemini and Sagittarius arriving like twin omens, insisting we pay attention.

On 5 December, the Full Moon in Gemini rises like a bright, mercurial witness, spotlighting the buzzing corners of your psyche you’ve tried to outrun. Gemini asks the questions that keep you up at night, the ones that demand you make your world smaller or sharper or saner. Then on 20 December, the New Moon in Sagittarius expands everything again, tugging your chin toward the horizon, reminding you that life is wider than your fears and far wilder than the stories you’ve already lived.

And because the cosmos likes to underline its points, place these dates carefully in your diary: Neptune goes direct on the 10th, thinning the fog, and Venus glides into Capricorn on the 24th, grounding desire in devotion and intention.

How can these final weeks sculpt the world you’re choosing to build? What corners of your life can you make sane, sacred, or sovereign? After all, as Christine Baranski once said on The Good Fight, it’s alright that the world is a little crazy, “as long as I make my little corner of the world sane.” One person can indeed shift the future.

Aries

This month centres your career – not just the work you do, but the impact you’re willing to make, the authority you’re willing to claim, and how unapologetically you let your ideas come out to influence. By the time Capricorn season commences, it’s not about productivity or ‘climbing the ladder’ but about recognising that you are the ladder. Your ideas (the ones you’ve been too cautious to vocalise, the ones that feel too bold, too different, too ahead of their time) are actually the very ideas that could shift your field, your industry, or your community.

Taurus

You have some money lessons to learn this month, not in a punitive way, but in a revelatory one. This isn’t about scarcity or fear. It’s about understanding your relationship to value, desire, and self-trust. It’s about examining the places where you’ve been too generous, too hopeful, too avoidant, or too self-sacrificing, and the places where you’ve underestimated your own earning power. By the time you get to the New Moon in Sagittarius, you get to chart a new course of where you want to see your value shine in the world.

Gemini

There’s going to be a big balancing act between how you prioritise the ‘I’ within the ‘we’ this month. The Full Moon in Gemini says: this is not a small lesson. It’s one of those karmic themes that arrive when you’re finally ready to outgrow an old relational identity. Where are you giving more than you have? Where are you choosing connection over authenticity? There will be moments that feel tender under the New Moon in Sagittarius. Emotional. Confrontational. Beautiful. Moments when you realise the version of you that once survived through compromise cannot thrive in the life you’re trying to build now.

Cancer

You may feel pulled between the extremes of discipline and indulgence or logic and instinct under the Full Moon in Gemini. You might find yourself thinking one thing and feeling another, wanting two opposing futures at once, loving and resenting the same person, craving intimacy while craving escape. It adds structure, depth, and an almost architectural seriousness to everything you’re learning about connection. If the Full Moon exposes the hidden layers of your psyche (the contradictions or hidden shadows), Capricorn season becomes the frosting that binds it all together, giving form to what was previously shapeless.

Leo

There’s likely going to be some revelations about your friendships and communities in the first half of December. Not small revelations, either – and it’ll shift how you understand your place among others, the kind that peels back the surface layer of your connections and shows you the emotional, energetic, or ideological truth beneath. December gives you clarity, and clarity gives you freedom. Freedom to choose connections that feel reciprocal. On a plus, a new creative offer could land in your lap come the New Moon in Sagittarius on 20 December.

Virgo

A fresh career moment can help you expand your awareness that you’ve been limiting yourself, not because you lacked talent or vision, but because you’ve been operating inside an old version of your power. Something shifts this month – a conversation or a door opening just wide enough for you to glimpse what you could truly become if you stepped fully into your capabilities. By the time you get to the New Moon in Sagittarius, there could be questions about whether 2026 is the year you move far away from the place you’ve always known.

Libra

In the first portion of the month, you might be doing an unusual amount of travelling, and with it comes a sense that life is picking up pace in ways you didn’t plan for. There may be an unexpected offer, come the Full Moon in Gemini, an invitation to take an adventure that pulls you out of your familiar orbit. It feels spontaneous, almost fated, like the universe is nudging you into movement before you’ve had time to overthink it. And yet, by the second half, something wants to root you and to press your feet into the soil of your own becoming. The whirlwind slows just enough for you to feel where your energy actually wants to land.

Scorpio

Your voice is activated all month, and if you don’t ask, you don’t get. This is a season where your words carry charge and the things you speak aloud seem to echo louder in the rooms you walk into. The universe responds to clarity now, not hints. This isn’t the time for soft-pedalling your desires or waiting for someone to intuit what you need; with a little boldness, you can get exactly what you want and more. On the New Moon in Sagittarius, make a declaration to yourself about what you want to receive, whether it’s financially, emotionally, or spiritually.

Sagittarius

Do you know what is fabulous? When you reach that point where you have no energy left but to be yourself. When the performances fall away out of sheer exhaustion of pretending, something new begins to open up, and this month you’ll find it. The Full Moon in Gemini can help you to reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve been a little shy to reveal. Don’t hesitate to make a wish on the New Moon in Sagittarius; in fact, make a vision board. This lunation isn’t just a flicker of hope, it’s a cosmic amplifier.

Capricorn

Before you even step into your birthday season, you begin the month with a full diary of plans unfolding, invitations stacking, and responsibilities tugging at your time. The universe is lining things up, clearing the static, and giving you a preview of the energy that will carry you into your personal new year. A new dream may land in your lap on the New Moon in Sagittarius. Your birthday season begins from the 21st; the days around your birthday glow with possibility, offering you a clean slate, a fresh beginning, and a reminder that you are allowed to want more.

Aquarius

There’s a revival taking place, a creative renaissance stirring inside you, reshaping how you express yourself and what you believe is possible. The Full Moon in Gemini will show you what it feels like – colour flooding back into a faded part of your life, or like rediscovering a voice you didn’t realise you’d muted. When it comes to the New Moon in Sagittarius, you’re not just dreaming differently, you’re dreaming bigger, braver, and more truthfully.

Pisces

If there’s any healing to be done within your family, the week of the Full Moon in Gemini is the most powerful time to lean into it. This lunation brings conversations to the surface – words you’ve swallowed, truths you’ve tiptoed around, emotions that have been waiting for the right doorway to emerge. Neptune in Pisces goes direct on the 10th, giving you a chance to see who you are more clearly and what you want in the world. Fast forward to 20 December, when the New Moon in Sagittarius lights up your zone of career. This isn’t just another work moment – it’s a cosmic green light. Fresh starts, bold ambitions, and long-held dreams suddenly feel closer, almost touchable.
