Monthly General Astro horoscope

Aries

The final month of the year is following a similar pattern to most years, but with the lines starting to become blurred earlier in the year than is often the case and especially when it comes to the different sides of life's fence. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery before returning to your career sector on the December solstice, this will always see the solar spotlight shift from one side of life's fence to the other just before Christmas. Often, just as everyone else is getting into holiday mode, you are starting to think about lining up for the new professional year. This doesn't usually get in the way of embracing the holiday spirit, for while this puts the solar spotlight on your professional game, as it will always spend the first three weeks of each year in your career sector, this is more a chance to start looking ahead. At the same time, as is often the case, while the Sun will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 22nd December, Venus on Christmas Day and the asteroid Juno on 30th December Mercury, who retrograded back out last month will return on 12th December, where he will end the month. This should keep things nicely balanced, but a week before the Sun returns to your career sector, this professional year is going to catch its second wind and stay that way through to the end of January. On 15th December, a week ahead of the Sun, Mars will return for his first visit to your career sector in two years, with the warrior planet of the cosmos ready to squeeze as much as he can from this professional year as he can and get 2026 off to an empowered start. Helping to keep things in check and especially when it comes to your work/life balance is Jupiter, who positioned on the other side of the sky in your home and family sector, will have some firm guardrails in place. The last New Moon of 2025 will fall in an adventurous part of your chart on 20th December, while the last Full Moon of 2025 will fall in your communication sector on 5th December, giving you a chance to move into the final weeks of the year with the communication lines open.

Taurus

Held back by retrograde phases, Venus from a retrograde phase earlier in the year and Mercury just last month, they are both late to leave your relationship sector this year. While the Sun left last month and by then Mars and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment had moved through, you ended last month with the planets of love and communication still there. Venus will leave on 1st December, something that will see her swap out her planet of love for her planet of money hat as she joins the Sun, Mars and Juno in your financial sector. Mercury, who only turned direct on 30th November is still holding back but will eventually take the same step on 12th December. This will end all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, but with everything needed to move forward with the communication lines open. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your financial sector, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time of year, but this year, with Mars firing up your financial passions and fighting spirit and a drive to take your financial power back until leaving on 15th December. While the Sun will leave on 22nd December, Venus on 25th December and Juno on 30th December, Mercury is here, with the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game until the New Year. They will also be here when the Moon not only makes its last visit to your financial sector for the year from 18th December to 20th December, but as a New Moon. Meanwhile, not waiting for the Sun's return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 22nd December, something that on the December solstice each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto the adventurous side of life's fence in time for the holiday period, Mars will return on 15th December to get things off to an early start.

Gemini

With the planets becoming a tighter bunch and drawing closer to the Sun, the year is following a more natural progression, though with a chance to first tie up loose ends on the job front. While the Sun left your work sector towards the end of last month, until Venus leaves on 1st December and Mercury on 12th December, they are helping to tie up loose ends and bring home a period of continuous planetary activity that began in April. During that time Jupiter returned to your income sector to begin your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade, while Saturn and Neptune both left your career sector, only to return. The last thing that Venus has done before leaving on 1st December and Mercury will do before leaving on 12th December was spend their final days at a friendly aspect to all three. While Jupiter is in his first full month in retrograde motion, Saturn his first in direct motion, Neptune at a standstill ahead of a direct turn on 11th December and to start with, Mercury also at a standstill after turning direct on 30th December, with a lack of urgency. As Venus and Mercury leave, it will be to join the Sun, who will always spend the first three weeks of December in your relationship sector. This will see the planets of love and communication return before Mars leaves on 15th December and in time for when the Moon moves through as a New Moon from 18th December to 20th December. This is something that will allow Mars to return to your financial sector seven days ahead of the Sun, whose return on 22nd December is something that on the December solstice each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto your financial situation and money matters. It has been two years since Mars was last in your financial sector, with the warrior planet of the cosmos returning to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit, along with the drive to take your financial power back. Meanwhile, the last Full Moon of 2025 will fall in Gemini on 5th December, with the Moon's return from 4th December to 6th December a chance to check in and get your personal bearings.

Cancer

Over the course of the month Venus, the planet that rules the heart is slowly catching up with the Sun, who she has been chasing since turning retrograde earlier in the year. This means that Venus will have an impact in three different areas of your life this month, even though her departure from a playful and creative part of your chart on 1st December means she will spend just the very early hours of the month here. However, not before spending the majority of the month here, while leaving Mercury here until 12th November, along with the support of the planets in an adventurous part of your chart they are both connecting to right up until the moment they leave. This will see Venus follow the Sun into your work sector, something that during the first three weeks of December will always have the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options. For the first time in two years, you also have Mars here and until the warrior planet of the cosmos leaves on 15th December these could be some of the busiest weeks of the year. This also makes the time invested over recent months and in the early part of the month into shoring up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence all the more important. While with the Sun not leaving your work sector until 22nd December, Venus on 25th December, Juno on 30th December and Mercury returning on 12th December, your work sector will remain active all month, with a better chance to take your foot off the gas when Mars leaves. Meanwhile, this will see Mars return to your relationship sector to begin the first planetary activity on the relationship front since January, seven days before the Sun's return on the December solstice will always turn the solar spotlight onto your relationships.

Leo

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in a playful and creative part of your chart before returning to your busy work sector on the December solstice each year, at some point in the month both sides of life's fence are going to be fighting for your attention. While the Sun will always make that transition at the same time each year and this will see the solar spotlight shift from one side to the other, Venus and Mercury, who travel close to the Sun don't stick to the same strict timetable, so there is always going to be an overlap. However, this year that overlap not only starts a lot sooner, but will be a lot more marked, for the solar spotlight is more about observing, while when Mars leaves a playful and creative part of your chart and returns to your work sector on 15th December, it will be to begin what could be some of the busiest weeks of both 2025 and 2026. Whether you are working through the holiday period or not, once Mars begins his six week mission to fire up your work passions, fighting and competitive spirit, he will be looking for something to channel a need to stay busy into. Fortunately, with the Sun not leaving a playful and creative part of your chart until 22nd December, Venus until 25th December and Mercury, who will return on 12th December here for the rest of the month, this will help to keep things balanced. Before then, as the last planet to leave your home and family sector this year, after Venus leaves on 1st December, Mercury will stay on until 12th December, as he works to keep the communication lines open and to help you make choices, decisions and plans. Meanwhile, Saturn's direct turn in your financial sector late last month and Neptune's direct turn on 11th December marks the start of their trek back out again, with a chance in the final weeks of the year to get serious about taking your financial power back.

Virgo

With Saturn already back in direct motion in your relationship sector and getting ready to leave in February, not to return for another three decades and Neptune turning direct here on 11th December, something that will see him get ready to leave in January and then not return for another 150 years, having Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication linger in your communication sector has been an advantage. While Venus will leave on 1st December, not before spending the final hours of her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice at a friendly aspect to Neptune, while before leaving on 12th December, Mercury will connect with both. This will be the end of all planetary activity on the communication front for the year and moving into the final two and a half months of a powerful relationship chapter, the timing couldn't be better. It is then that first Venus and then Mercury will follow the Sun into your home and family sector, who will always have the solar spotlight on home, family and/or property matters at this time of year. While the Sun won't leave until 22nd December, Venus until 25th December and returning on 12th December Mercury here for the rest of the month, until he leaves on 15th December, Mars will be focused on making things happen and getting things done. While the Sun will always return to a playful and creative part of your chart on the December solstice and just in time to spend Christmas, New Year, the holiday period and the first three weeks of each year with the solar spotlight on this side of life's fence, Mars will kick things off early when he returns on 15th December. While for the last six years this has been to find Uranus in an adventurous part of your chart, this nearly didn't happen, for after six years he had left in July, only to retrograde back in for another six months in November.

Libra

While at the start of the month Mercury and Venus are lagging behind and haven't yet left your income sector, this will have positive implications across the income, work and career fronts. Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus was late to return to your income sector this year and therefore late to leave while Mercury, who had left at the end of October retrograded back in last month for a do over and in the final days of November, this put them in the right place at the right time. While Venus will leave on 1st December, not before spending her final hours at a friendly aspect to Neptune, in his last full month in your work sector for another 150 years. Venus is also separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn, in his first full month in direct motion in your work sector and Jupiter, in his first in retrograde motion in your career sector. This is something that Mercury will do before leaving on 12th December, with a chance to get the month off to a lucrative start while drawing on the huge amount of professional resources. It is then that Venus will follow the Sun into your communication sector, where until leaving on 25th December, she will be working to give your heart and your relationships a voice while Mercury will do what, as the planet of communication he does best, when he returns on 12th December to spend the rest of the year here. Both will return before Mars leaves on 15th December, with a chance for the planets of love and communication to take advantage of the warrior planet's war on communication roadblocks and barriers. They will also both be here when the Moon moves through from 18th November to 20th December, with its alignment with the Sun before leaving creating the last New Moon of 2025. It is two days later that the Sun will leave and follow Mars into your home and family sector, something that will put a lot more energy into a point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your home and family situation and matters.

Scorpio

While the Sun left Scorpio last month and this brought your birthday month to a close, not the launch of this new solar year, while can't officially be considered launched until Mercury leaves on 12th December. Mercury had left at the end of October, just days into your birthday month and new solar year, but three weeks later a retrograde turn brought him back and just as well it did, otherwise he wouldn't have got time to spend time with Venus, something that in the second half of last month and in the final days of your birthday month put heart and mind on the same page. Until she leaves on 1st December Venus has been giving your heart a say in what you want from this new solar year, with a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence, while until Mercury leaves on 12th December, as well as working to keep the communication lines open, will help you work on your game plan and resolutions for the coming year. It is then that both will follow the Sun into your income sector, something that will always have the solar spotlight on your income situation, matters and options in the first 3 weeks of December. For Venus, as the planet of money, desire and attraction, until leaving on 25th December, she will be working to make these some of the most lucrative weeks of the year. While Mars will leave on 15th December, not before spending six weeks declaring war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, something that the planets staying on can continue to exploit. This will see Mars return to your communication sector, where still the warrior planet of the cosmos, he will have a fresh battleground this time, with a chance to declare war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. With Uranus in his first full month back in your relationship sector, this is something your relationships will benefit from.

Sagittarius

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in Sagittarius, whether you were born towards the end of November or your birthday month is between now and when it leaves on 22nd December, this is your birthday month and the launch of a new solar year. 2025 might be coming to an end, but for you this is a month that is all about new beginnings and even more so this year. For while it is a given that the Sun will always be in Sagittarius moving into December and will be until the December solstice, this year the month not only begins with Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos here, but he has been since 5th November. Weeks before the Sun returned and your birthday month and new solar year began, Mars had returned to begin a new Mars cycle and until he leaves on 15th December, he will be looking for something to channel his passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit into, while at the same time declaring war on roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. You have also moved into your birthday month and new solar year with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in Sagittarius, something that a month before even Mars returned, has been giving you a chance to update your resolutions. Meanwhile, held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus will finally return Sagittarius on 1st December to give your heart a voice, while until leaving on Christmas Day will work to turn desires into reality. Mercury, who had retrograded back out of Sagittarius last month will return on 12th December to spend the rest of the year giving you everything needed to keep your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open. Meanwhile, when Mars leaves on 15th December, this will see the warrior planet of the cosmos return to your income sector for the first time in two years, with his war on income roadblocks and barriers bringing the potential for a lucrative end to 2025 and start to 2026.

Capricorn

With the Sun always returning to Capricorn on the December solstice to begin your birthday month and new solar year but always starting the month in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, for you, this is a month when at some point the lines between the past, present and future are going to become blurred. Depending on where we are in a four year leap cycle, the Sun will return to Capricorn within less than an 18 hour margin each year and something that you can literally set your calendar into. As far as the Sun is concerned, there is a specific moment in time when the month long wind down of your old solar year and its focus on the past ends and your birthday month and new solar year and its focus on the future begins. However, Venus and Mercury, who travel with the Sun aren't as predictable and they can return or leave weeks before or after, making this nothing that is rarely clear cut. What makes the lines even more blurred this month is having Mars and the asteroid Juno in the picture and Venus and Mercury arriving late due to retrograde phases. The date when the lines start to become blurred is 15th December, when with seven days of your old solar year still to go, Mars returns to Capricorn for the first time since 2023 to begin a new two year Mars cycle. This is when new doors start to open, with Mars firing up your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit while opening new doors. At the same time, even when a week later the Sun returns to begin your birthday month and new solar year on 22nd December, with Venus staying on in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart until Christmas Day and Mercury for the rest of the year, they will be reluctant to close old doors just yet. This might see the lines between the past, present and future become blurred, but with a chance to start opening and exploring new doors without having to first close old doors. However, where old doors will remain open is on the relationship front, with Jupiter's first full month in retrograde motion in your relationship sector coming with the full support of the planets in your communication sector.

Aquarius

Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus is catching up with the Sun and next month will finally get out in front, giving your heart the first say when she returns to Aquarius before your birthday month and new solar year begins next month. For now though, while the Sun left your career sector towards the end of last month, until leaving on 1st December Venus is still trailing behind, while helping to cement the connections made to Jupiter, in his first full month in retrograde motion in your work sector and Saturn and Neptune, in their last full month together in your income sector. This is something that Mercury will also do before leaving on 12th December, something that will end all planetary activity on the career front for the year. It is then that first Venus and then Mercury will follow the Sun into your friendship sector, where for the first three weeks of December he will always have the solar spotlight on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking. They will also return to find Mars here and until leaving on 15th December, firing up your passions, competitive and team spirit. Until leaving on Christmas Day, Venus will have the laws of attraction and synchronicity working in harmony, while from 12th December Mercury is here for the rest of the year, doing what as the planet of communication he does best. Meanwhile, seven days before the Sun is due to return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 22nd December to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, Mars' return on 15th December will begin the six week wind down of your current two year Mars cycle. This is something that over the holiday period in particular, will give you a chance to pull back and recharge your batteries, ready for Mars' return to Aquarius next month and for what will be an empowered start to your birthday month and new solar year. Meanwhile, while the last New Moon of 2025 will fall in your friendship sector on 20th December, the last Full Moon of 2025 will fall in a playful and creative part of your chart on 5th December.

Pisces

While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your career sector, with the solar spotlight always on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time each year and with Mars here until 15th December, with things even busier than usual, you will also find it easier than in most years to keep things balanced. This includes even after Venus leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 1st December and Mercury on 12th December, something that will bring all planetary activity on the adventurous side of life's fence for the year to a close. While the Moon's return from 15th December to 18th December will be a chance to capture this, this alone isn't what is stopping life from becoming all work and no play. Instead, for the first time in 12 years, you are ending the year with Jupiter, the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system in a playful and creative part of your chart and he is only halfway through a 12 month visit. This is something that will outrun the planetary activity on the career front, which will end when Mercury leaves on 2nd January. Until then, with the Sun not leaving your career sector until 22nd December, Venus until Christmas Day and the asteroid Juno until 30th December, you have enough gas in your tank to bring this professional year home. Meanwhile, while the Sun's return to your friendship sector on 22nd December is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your social life, friendship, teamwork and networking, Mars' return on 15th December will begin the first planetary activity here since January. While Mars will spend the next six weeks fuelling your passions, competitive and team spirit, when she returns on Christmas Day, Venus will be more focused on using the laws of attraction and synchronicity to make the holiday period and early weeks of 2026 to put you in the right place at the right time.
