Sagittarius Horoscope — December 2026
December closes the year with a genuinely good omen: the New Moon on 9 December falls in Sagittarius itself, your first house of self and new beginnings. A New Moon in your own sign is one of the more personally significant lunar events any year can offer, and this one arrives just as several long-running transits finally resolve — a strong combination for setting real intentions rather than vague resolutions.
Two Long Retrogrades Finally End
Saturn turns direct on 10 December after a retrograde phase that began back in July, still in Aries and your fifth house of romance, creativity, and children. Whatever felt stuck, slow, or overly demanding in that part of your life since midsummer should start moving forward again, though Saturn rarely lets go of its lessons — expect the structure it asked for to remain even as the pressure eases. Neptune turns direct two days later, on 12 December, in the same house, meaning the dreamier, more idealistic undertone that had turned inward in July also starts moving outward again, just in time to colour the New Moon's fresh start with genuine imagination rather than pure discipline.
Jupiter Slows Down, Mars Reaches Career
Jupiter stations retrograde on 13 December, still in Leo and your ninth house — the placement that's carried your luck since June doesn't disappear, but its energy turns reflective for the rest of this retrograde phase, which continues into 2027. Use the remaining weeks of December to consolidate what Jupiter's expansive run through travel, study, and belief has already given you rather than chasing something new. Mars, meanwhile, continues through Virgo and your tenth house of career, keeping professional momentum from November alive right through year's end.
Venus finishes the year moving from Libra into Scorpio, shifting from your eleventh house of friends and networks toward your twelfth house of rest and endings — a quieter, more inward note to close out 2026.
Tip for the month: Let the 9 December New Moon in your own sign be your real new year's moment — write down one thing you want to build differently, with Saturn's discipline now easing rather than pressing.
