Planetary movements this month (the basis)
The main planetary movements in December 2026 are as follows. Pluto stays in Aquarius throughout December. Pluto's stay is a placement that rebuilds systems and positions over a long period of time. In Leo, opposite Aquarius, Jupiter begins retrograde on December 13. The Sun moves into Capricorn on December 22, and Mercury also moves into Capricorn on December 26. There is a full Moon in Cancer on December 24.
Overview
This is a month when a long-term review of how things are structured moves forward. While Pluto is in your own sign, the background work is not short-term change, but rebuilding the positions and ways of being involved that will continue for years. With Jupiter beginning retrograde in opposite Leo, it is time to review once the matters you have expanded in relationships. The conclusion for this month is to separate what to keep as a system from what you have continued by custom.
Work
The central task is deciding how to turn work that has relied on one person's effort into a form that can be handed over as a system. The year-end break suits that sorting. For example, if you write down and share procedures that only you understand, the workload will not fall unevenly on one person after the New Year. Others will notice your original viewpoint and your ability to see how systems work. At the same time, where your approach looks unusual, it may be hard for others to understand if you do not share your reasons. Putting the reasons for the approach you have chosen into a few words keeps your reputation steady. In the second half, the Sun and Mercury move into Capricorn, and behind-the-scenes preparation and building next term's structure become central. Building the foundation suits you better than taking the stage. When you review what you have kept as a system, the standard is whether it will continue even if the person in charge changes.
Money
This is a month centred on reviewing fixed, ongoing expenses. At the year-end break, list and review the payments that go out automatically each month, such as communications, tools and membership fees. The central decision is separating expenses that are needed as part of a system from expenses you continue by custom. For your provision for life after retirement, the point this month is to check the figures in their latest state. For contracts involving large payments, the right approach is to check the terms in writing and decide together with the renewal timing.
Health
This is a month when your thoughts keep running and it is hard to switch off and rest. This does not go into diagnosis or treatment of physical problems, but the point to watch this month is to secure rest days in your schedule in advance. If you decide days with nothing scheduled first, strain will not pile up even in the year-end rush.
Love
This is a low-key section. Share your household's year-end plans early, and put your own thinking into words as well, and misunderstandings will decrease.
