Aquarius · December 2026

December 2026 for Aquarius: the planets moving through your chart this month, read from your Sun sign. Read your Rising sign too if you know it — it often fits even better.

Until 21 December

Your month's theme: the 11th house of friends & hopes

Your people matter more than ever this month. The Sun moves through your 11th house of friends, groups and hopes, and the mood is social, generous and pointed firmly towards the future.

Say yes to gatherings, circles, communities and causes that reflect who you really are. A friend may bring an opportunity, a fresh idea or simply the encouragement you have been missing. It is also a beautiful month to dream on a bigger scale. What do you wish for, not only for yourself but for the world around you? Write your wishes down and share at least one of them aloud with someone you trust. Notice who lifts you up. Those are the friendships to water.

From 21 December: the Sun moves into Capricorn, your 12th house

The Sun slips behind the veil this month, into your 12th house of rest, solitude, dreams and endings. It is the final chapter before your birthday season, and your energy may feel softer and quieter than usual.

Don't fight it. This is a sacred time to rest, reflect and close old cycles with grace. Sleep more if you can. Keep a dream diary, because your dreams are full of messages now. Spend time alone near water, meditate, pray or simply sit in silence. Let go of grudges, habits and stories that belong to the year behind you. Run a bath with salt and lavender. What you release now makes room for the bright beginning already on its way.

9 December

New Moon in Sagittarius

The New Moon in your 11th house is perfect for wishes about friendship, community and the future. Who do you want around you, and what do you hope for? Write three wishes and place them under a clear quartz crystal. Reach out to one friend or join one group this week. Your dreams grow faster when you share the dreaming with others.

24 December

Full Moon in Cancer

This Full Moon shines into your 6th house of daily work and wellbeing habits. A work project may reach completion, or you notice which routines exhaust you. Release habits that drain your energy, and any guilt about resting. Write them on paper, soak it in water with a pinch of salt and pour it down the drain. Tomorrow, begin again with kindness towards yourself.

Mind & messages: Mercury in Sagittarius, your 11th house

Your social life gets chatty while Mercury moves through your 11th house. Group chats, community meetings, networking and catching up with friends all bring ideas and useful contacts. Share your hopes out loud, because someone may know exactly how to help. Brainstorm with people who think differently from you. Choose your circles wisely, though. The conversations you have now can shape your plans for the whole year ahead.

Love & pleasure: Venus in Scorpio, your 10th house

Venus in your 10th house adds charm to your public life. People in authority are more receptive to you now, so it is a good time to ask, present or negotiate. Your reputation benefits from grace and diplomacy rather than force. Creative or beauty-related work can shine especially brightly. Dress for the role you want, smile at the people you meet and let your natural warmth open doors.

Drive & desire: Mars in Virgo, your 8th house

Mars in your 8th house intensifies everything. Desire runs deep, and you may feel ready to transform something fundamental in your life. It is a powerful time to tackle shared money matters, cut ties with what drains you and look your fears in the eye. Power struggles are possible, so choose integrity over control every time. Burn a black candle for release. Your strength comes from facing the depths.

The bigger picture: Jupiter in Leo, your 7th house

When Jupiter moves through your 7th house, a year of growth in partnerships begins. Existing bonds can deepen and flourish, and if you are single, someone significant may enter your life. Collaborations and agreements are blessed too. You learn generosity and fairness through other people. Be open to those who widen your world. Light two blue candles for wisdom in love. Together, you can build far more than alone.

The bigger picture: Saturn in Aries, your 3rd house

Saturn in your 3rd house brings a few years of serious learning and careful communication. You may study something demanding, write something important or rethink the way you speak and listen. Relationships with siblings or neighbours may need patience and maturity. Your words gain weight when you choose them carefully. Keep a daily writing practice, even a few lines. Over time your mind becomes clear, disciplined and deeply respected.
