Welcome to December, Gemini. Last month, the transformative planet Pluto settled into Aquarius, where it will stay for the next two decades. This month, change arrives during a new moon, and the assertive planet Mars goes retrograde. That begins rather early in the month, on Friday, December 6, in your 3rd House of Communication.

Mars is a warrior planet that rules sexuality and assertiveness. When it’s retrograde, you may notice changes in your libido. However, as its retrograding in your 3rd House, you’ll probably most notice that you have absolutely no desire to fight. Embrace this! Allow this backward dance, which lasts between now and February, to help you tap into your calm and empathetic side. Also on Friday, December 6, the lover planet Venus enters your philosophical 9th House. Adding to the effects of Mars retrograde, this just shows that it’s a time for enjoying deep conversations with your partners and friends, rather than passionate bickering.

The next day, on Saturday, December 7, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, also moves into your 9th House of Philosophy. Through such conversations, you’ll find yourself growing closer with someone. So, rather than fret about Mars retrograde affecting your libido, know that it’s an opportunity to develop a relationship.

Also on Saturday, December 7, the dreamy planet Neptune ends its retrograde and goes direct in your 10th House of Social Status. When it does, you should gain clarity on professional goals and hobbies. If there’s a creative project you’ve been mulling over, you may feel called to start it. December has a brooding vibe to it. This energy is actually lovely for all things artistic.

The sky lights up with a full moon in your sign, Gemini, on Sunday, December 15. Full moons are the lunation associated with manifestation. When one happens in your sign, you may get news that you’ve been waiting for. This is compounded by the fact that also on Sunday, December 15, your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, ends its retrograde and goes direct. Just be aware that at times full moons can leave you feeling a little burnt out, so you’ll want to double-down on the self-care this day.

Geminis often need change to feel like themselves.

The sun enters Capricorn, on the Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 21. This marks the shortest day of the year. It’s also Yule, which you can think of as a witchy Christmas. For the next few weeks, the sun is in your transformative 8th House. It’s a lovely time for treating yourself to a makeover. Geminis often need change to feel like themselves. You don’t have to do anything drastic, just allow yourself to experiment with your look, even if it’s as easy as doing your own gels at home.

When Chiron, the wounded healer, goes direct in Aries and your 11th House of Friendship on Sunday, December 29, the stars bring healing to your friendships. It helps that Mercury is direct, but if you’ve had any ongoing strife that should resolve now. This will happen easier if you remember the lessons of Mars retrograde and bring patience to your friendships.

Finally, on Monday, December 30, the month wraps up with a Capricorn new moon that takes place in your transformative 8th House. While full moons are times of manifestation, new moons represent fresh starts. The New Year is a time when everyone thinks about resolutions and change that they wish to manifest in their lives. This is abundantly true for you. Use this new moon to meditate on your goals for the new year and make a plan to make them a reality. We’ll see you in January.
