Planetary movements this month (the basis)
The main planetary movements in December 2026 are as follows. Jupiter stays in Leo throughout December, and begins retrograde on December 13. Jupiter's retrograde is the start of a period to review and put in order what you have expanded. The Sun is in Sagittarius, a fire sign like Leo, until December 22, and then moves into Capricorn. There is a new Moon in Sagittarius on December 9, and a full Moon in Cancer on December 24.
Overview
This is a month to take stock once of what you have expanded. With Jupiter beginning retrograde in your own sign, the matters that have expanded smoothly so far enter a period of reviewing their content and scale. The conclusion for this month is not to add new things, but to narrow down to what is worth continuing. The first half, with the Sun in Sagittarius, is easy to move in; the second half changes to a flow of firming up next term's structure as the Sun moves into Capricorn.
Work
The central task is deciding the line between situations where you step forward and decide, and situations you leave to others. After December 13, when Jupiter's retrograde begins, list the projects and roles you have expanded and review them, and the parts under strain become visible. For example, if you reset the priorities of the cases you are carrying in writing, how you proceed in the New Year will be steady. Others will see how you have led, but if you are at the front too often, you can also give the impression of acting alone. Sharing the reasons for what you decided, briefly, keeps your reputation steady. In the second half, talks to decide next term's roles move more easily, and working on the basis of records builds trust. For work you have drawn a line under in the stocktake, decide the handover destination as well, and the matter will be less likely to come back in the New Year.
Money
This is a month when spending related to socialising and self-expression stands out. Year-end dinners and gifts pile up, but look at spending you continue for appearances separately from spending needed to maintain relationships. The central task is taking stock of the spending you have expanded and separating what to continue from what to stop. For your provision for life after retirement, the point is to check the figures in their latest state in this month, when Jupiter's retrograde begins. For a final decision on a large contract, the right approach is to check the terms in writing before proceeding.
Health
This is a month when year-end events and socialising continue and rest time is easily cut. 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. In weeks when you pack your schedule, decide the days to keep free first, and no strain will remain.
Love
This is a low-key section. Share the arrangements for your household's year-end events early, and misunderstandings on the day will decrease.
