Sagittarius · December 2026

December 2026 for Sagittarius: 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 1st house of you

Your birthday season has arrived, and the Universe hands you the pen. With the Sun in your 1st house, the light falls on you — your body, your face, the way you walk into a room and the life you want to begin next. This is your personal new year, and it carries more power than January.

Make a fresh start in something visible: a new look, a new habit, a decision you have postponed for too long. Light a gold candle, write three words that describe who you are becoming and keep the paper beneath it overnight. People notice you more now. Don't shrink from it. Your energy is the main event this month, so use it.

From 21 December: the Sun moves into Capricorn, your 2nd house

This month the Sun warms your 2nd house of money, possessions and self-worth, and asks: what do you truly value — and do you value yourself enough? Look honestly at what you earn, what you spend and what you keep purely out of habit.

It is a fine month for sorting your finances, clearing out belongings you no longer love and putting your time into skills that pay you back. Choose one beautiful, useful thing over ten cheap ones. A small money ritual helps: a green candle, a coin beneath it and a sprig of basil on the windowsill. Most of all, name your price, in work and in love. Self-worth is the root of every other kind of wealth.

9 December

New Moon in Sagittarius

A New Moon in your 1st house is your personal reset button. Set intentions about yourself: your body, your image, your confidence and the fresh start you want. Light a white candle, look into a mirror and speak your intention aloud three times. Write it down and keep it where you will see it every day. Small, brave actions in the next two weeks plant seeds that grow all year.

24 December

Full Moon in Cancer

A Full Moon in your 8th house stirs deep emotions. Hidden feelings, shared money matters or intimate truths may come to the surface. Don't fear what you see; it is rising so it can be released. Write down what you are ready to let go of — jealousy, control, an old hurt — and burn it in a fireproof bowl. Afterwards, rest. Transformation is complete when you feel lighter.

Mind & messages: Mercury in Sagittarius, your 1st house

Mercury in your 1st house sharpens your mind and quickens your tongue. People want to hear what you think, so tell them — clearly and in your own words. This is a good time to introduce yourself, refresh your profile, pitch an idea or simply speak up for what you need. Your curiosity is magnetic now. Write your intentions by hand; your words carry extra power while Mercury is here.

Love & pleasure: Venus in Scorpio, your 12th house

Venus in your 12th house makes love quiet and private. You may enjoy secret moments, a hidden crush or simply time alone with your own heart. Old feelings could resurface, asking to be forgiven and gently released. Treat yourself to rest and soft beauty: a candlelit bath, slow music, an early night with clean sheets. Compassion is your superpower now. Love yourself in private first, and the rest follows.

Drive & desire: Mars in Virgo, your 10th house

Mars in your 10th house pushes your ambitions forward. You want results, recognition and real progress towards your goals, and you are willing to work for them. Take the initiative and show leadership, but stay mindful of clashes with people in authority. Pair your drive with diplomacy. Set one bold goal and take the first concrete step this week. Your hard work is highly visible now, so make it count.

The bigger picture: Jupiter in Leo, your 9th house

Jupiter is happiest in your 9th house, opening a year of adventure, study and spiritual expansion. Travel, higher learning, publishing and teaching are all favoured. Your beliefs grow broader and your trust in life strengthens. Say yes to opportunities that take you far from home, whether physically or in your mind. Find a teacher, or become one yourself. For this whole year, the world is your classroom.

The bigger picture: Saturn in Aries, your 5th house

Saturn in your 5th house asks you to take joy, creativity and romance seriously. Creative projects need dedication and discipline to flourish, and love may test your commitment, whether you are seeking it or keeping it. Fun can feel scarce at first, but this chapter teaches you to build pleasure that lasts. Practise your craft every day. Choose love that is real. What you create during these years can endure.
