Astro-Intuitive Insights for December
Mars in Leo (Retrograde) Beginning December 6, Mars enters retrograde in Leo, where it will remain until February 23, 2025. Midway through the retrograde, Mars will shift into Cancer, bringing a reflective and nurturing energy. As it moves back into Leo and stays there until June 17, 2025, the emphasis will shift toward creative expression, boldness, and redefining how we take action in our lives.
Mars in Leo Retrograde (December 6, 2024 – February 23, 2025)
As Mars enters retrograde in Leo, we are called to reassess how we express our passions, assert ourselves, and seek recognition. Leo, ruled by the heart, reminds us to operate from a place of love and authenticity rather than seeking constant external validation. This energy encourages finding a balance between wanting to be seen and appreciated and leading with grace and generosity.
Be mindful of embellishment or a constant need to be the center of attention.
When Mars shifts into Cancer during its retrograde, the focus turns inward. You may feel drawn to retreat, nurture your inner child, and reflect on family dynamics or your inner world. Privacy and emotional space may feel especially important during this time. Use this energy to:
Evaluate family life and personal boundaries.
Address wounds from the past that may still influence your present.
Practice self-compassion and prioritize emotional healing.
Patience is key during this retrograde. Instead of rushing forward, allow yourself to pause, reflect, and realign. By balancing Leo’s desire for attention with Cancer’s need for introspection, you can emerge from this retrograde with deeper clarity and emotional resilience.
Venus in Aquarius Also on December 7, Venus transitions into Aquarius, inviting us to embrace love and connection in unconventional and expansive ways. This energy supports freedom in relationships, individuality, and exploring how we show up authentically in matters of the heart.
Capricorn Season Begins (December 21)As we move into Capricorn Season, we are reminded to root ourselves in practicality and ambition while keeping our long-term visions in focus. Remember, Capricorn season reminds us of the 'sea-goat's' unique balance—deeply intuitive and emotionally attuned, yet firmly grounded and connected to the earth.
New Moon in Sagittarius (December 1, 2024)
Expand your vision and explore new horizons.
Recognize the limitations of where you are and tap into inner wisdom.
Embrace spirituality, wellness, and knowledge through travel and exploration.
This lunation asks for faith, perseverance, positivity, and gratitude as tools for transformation.
Here are three journal prompts to explore the themes of travel, spirituality, and wellness during the New Moon in Sagittarius:
Travel:"If I could explore any place in the world—physically or spiritually—where would it be, and what do I hope to discover about myself through this journey?"
Spirituality:"What beliefs or practices feel most aligned with my inner truth, and how can I deepen my connection to them this month?"
Wellness:"In what ways can I nurture my mind, body, and spirit to create harmony and balance in my daily life?"
Full Moon in Gemini (December 15, 2024)
The Full Moon in Gemini illuminates opportunities for growth through authentic conversations, curiosity, and expanded consciousness. This energy invites you to embrace a willingness to learn and adopt new ways of thinking. It’s a time to unleash a new inner and outer dialogue, allowing fresh insights and perspectives to emerge.
Gemini’s adaptability shines during this lunation, encouraging us to stay open and flexible. When others offer genuine support and ask questions to better understand you, try not to take it personally. Their curiosity isn’t prying—it’s an attempt to support your growth and provide meaningful help. Use this energy to:
Welcome transparency and honesty in your interactions.
Be willing to learn new ways of thinking.
Release past lessons to make space for expanded consciousness.
Engage in authentic conversations that help you grow.
Honor pauses in communication as they bring clarity and wisdom.
Be at peace with not having all the answers, trusting the Unknown to provide guidance in time.
This is also a powerful moment to appreciate the pauses in communication and life. Sometimes, the silence speaks volumes, offering clarity and space to reflect. By embracing Gemini’s energy, you can navigate this Full Moon with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to evolve.
New Moon in Capricorn (December 30, 2024)
Plant new roots while revisiting past challenges with fresh eyes.
Establish routines and responsibilities that align with your goals.
Step fully into your role as the Creative Director of your life, crafting a legacy with intention and creativity.
The expansive energy of Sagittarius invites us to dream big, explore possibilities, and expand our horizons. However, bringing those dreams into reality requires effort, structure, and intentionality—a gift of Capricorn’s grounding energy.
Capricorn season reminds us that it’s not enough to remain in the clouds of inspiration. Instead, we are called to discover practical ways to implement our visions and create a solid foundation for their manifestation. This balance between Sagittarius’ optimism and Capricorn’s discipline helps us transform ideas into tangible results, aligning dreams with purposeful action.
Even if you don’t have all the puzzle pieces now, simply researching, journaling, and setting intentions to receive the downloads—while staying open to recognizing them—creates the space for clarity to unfold.
Key Themes for December: Freedom, grounded action, authentic self-expression, and alignment with your evolving identity. This energy gives you the opportunity to choose differently—how you love, show up, and embrace a new path.
With this powerful closing to the year, let’s embrace the journey ahead with grounded vision and expansive possibility.
