Happy December, Stargazers! The final month of the year harkens Sagittarius season and lights up the cosmos, bringing an adventurous and optimistic energy to guide us. The stars are full of celestial activity this month—let yourself reflect on the past year and dream big about the future. Lest we forget, we’re still in Mercury Retrograde until December 15.

Mid-month, communication and travel plans should begin to smooth out, so prepare to move forward with anything that felt stalled earlier.
On December 6, Mars shifts into retrograde to slow us down and urge us to re-evaluate our goals. Use this time to recharge your energy rather than pushing ahead with full force.

Dreams and intuition may feel clearer as Neptune’s forward motion helps untangle any recent confusion or uncertainty. Let your imagination flow freely.
As 2024 wraps up, the healing energy of Chiron direct on December 29 helps us process emotional wounds and end the year with self-acceptance and growth. These retrogrades may make you feel like life is moving at a slower pace, but that’s okay; they give us opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign. Lean into the adventurous Sagittarius energy to embrace the unexpected and keep your spirits high. As the year closes, Chiron’s direct motion brings a gentle nudge to celebrate how far you’ve come and welcome 2025 with a fresh, hopeful mindset.
