Planetary movements this month (the basis)
The main planetary movements in December 2026 are as follows. Venus moves from Libra into Scorpio on December 4, and enters your own sign. Mercury is in Scorpio until December 6, and then moves into Sagittarius. At the start of the month, planets gather in Scorpio, a placement where concentration and depth are in focus. There is a new Moon in Sagittarius on December 9, the Sun moves into Capricorn on December 22, and Mercury also moves into Capricorn on December 26.
Overview
This is a month when concentration rises at the start of the month and you can reach the core of what you have been carrying. As Venus enters your own sign, in relationships too, the depth of trust matters more than surface-level socialising. The conclusion for this month is to narrow down what you engage with deeply. Rather than putting the same energy into everything, choose again the relationships and work to continue, and practical arrangements will firm up on the Capricorn flow of the second half.
Work
The central task is deciding, for the information you hold and the scope of your responsibilities, what to hand over and what to keep carrying yourself. In the first half, with Mercury in Scorpio, the power to read matters including circumstances that are not on the surface works well. For example, at a handover, if you leave not only the figures but also the background circumstances in writing, decisions in the New Year will not waver. Others will trust your careful, discreet way of proceeding at this time. At the same time, if you strongly do not share the circumstances you are carrying, others can get the impression that the situation is hard to see. Sharing at least the progress regularly keeps your reputation steady. In the second half, talks to decide next term's roles move more easily. For work you delegate, make clear how far the delegated scope goes, and the checking work will be less likely to increase even at year-end.
Money
This is a month when money shared with others is in focus. The central decision is separating, for expenses you hold jointly and payments you split with another person, what to continue from what to draw a line under. Socialising expenses also pile up at year-end, but for payments whose breakdown is unclear, check the terms on this occasion and you can relax. For your provision for life after retirement, the point this month is to check the figures in their latest state. For a large contract, the right approach is to check the terms in writing and leave time to think before proceeding.
Health
This is a month when time spent concentrating on work becomes long and it is hard to draw a line for 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. Decide days with nothing scheduled first, together with your work break points, and no strain will remain.
Love
This is a low-key section. In the first half, when Venus is in your own sign, take time to talk calmly at home as well, and year-end arrangements will be easier to share.
