Saturn and Neptune both station direct in your 9th house of travel and the big horizon this month while Jupiter (which has been in your 1st all year) stations retrograde. The year you have been visibly living starts moving forward.

December keeps your money plans busy while travel and study plans finally move. A surprise money ask may come through a friend on the 4th, and the 8th starts something fun in romance and creative projects. On the 10th and 12th the slow review of travel and study ends, while Jupiter starts a four-month review of how you show up. The solstice turns you toward daily habits, and the year ends restful and ready for 2027.
Leo December 2026 dates: Jupiter in your 1st all month, turns retrograde Dec 12. Mars in Virgo (your 2nd house of money) all month. Venus enters Scorpio (your 4th) Dec 4. Mercury enters Sagittarius (your 5th) Dec 6. New Moon at 16 Sagittarius (your 5th) Dec 8. Saturn turns forward again at 7 Aries (your 9th) Dec 10. Neptune turns forward again at 1 Aries (your 9th) Dec 12. Sun enters Capricorn (your 6th) Dec 21. Full Moon supermoon at 2 Cancer (your 12th) Dec 23. Mercury enters Capricorn (your 6th) Dec 25.
Mars, the planet of drive, spends the whole month in Virgo on the money side of your life. It’s a good time for the budget, the rate review, and the invoice you keep meaning to send. On the 4th Mars makes a tense angle to Uranus, the planet of sudden change, in your friend group. A friend may ask for a loan or pitch a group trip that costs more than planned. The same day Venus enters Scorpio and home feels cozier. On the 6th Mercury enters Sagittarius and your thoughts turn to fun.
The New Moon on the 8th is a fresh start for romance, creativity, and play. Start the creative project, plan a real date, or sign up for the class you keep bookmarking. On the 10th Saturn turns forward again after months of moving backward in your travel and study area. Book the flight or confirm the course. Neptune turns forward on the 12th. That evening Jupiter goes retrograde in Leo, meaning it starts a backward review of about four months. Polish what you started this year before adding anything new.
Use these days to follow through. Confirm the trip dates, submit the application, or send the manuscript you’ve been editing. Keep new commitments few while Jupiter is in review, and improve the ones you already have. On the 21st the Sun enters Capricorn at the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Capricorn season turns your attention to daily work and health habits, so clean up the calendar before the holidays.
The Full Moon on the 23rd is a supermoon in your area of rest and retreat. Sleep in, skip one party, and let a private project come together. On the 25th Mercury enters Capricorn and practical planning gets easier. Before New Year’s, write your 2027 routine on one page, from gym days to work hours, and end the year well rested.

Saturn turns forward again at 7 degrees 56 minutes Aries in your 9th house of travel, higher learning, philosophy, publishing, beliefs, and the long horizon. Since July 26, Saturn has asked you to review what you actually believe and where you are going. After December 10, the slow work clicks forward. A trip you have been planning may finally book, a course decision may finalize, a publishing pitch may land, an international or immigration step may move.
Neptune turns forward again at 1 degree 37 minutes Aries in the same 9th house on December 12. The vision of the bigger life, the long-distance dream, the bigger-picture direction you are entering moves forward with the structure. Saturn gives the bones; Neptune gives the picture. Both pointing forward in your 9th opens the bigger horizon at the same time.
The New Moon at 16 Sagittarius lands in your 5th house of creativity, romance, children, hobbies, play, and self-expression. This is the most playful new beginning of your year. Start a creative project, ask the romantic question, sign up for the hobby, take the child question seriously. The 5th house is your natural home as a Leo and the New Moon there is unusually well-placed.
The Full Moon at 2 Cancer lands in your 12th house of retreat, behind-the-scenes work, sleep, dreams, and the unconscious. It is a supermoon, so the call to rest may run bigger than usual. A private reset, an intuition or dream moment, or a piece of behind-the-scenes work may come together in the days around the solstice. Sleep that week.
Jupiter turns retrograde at 27 degrees Leo in your 1st house of body, identity, and how you show up, and stays retrograde through April 12, 2027. Jupiter has been in Leo all year, expanding how big you let yourself be. The next four months are a refinement of the version of you from the start of 2026, and the year is asking for a better draft before you ship the 2027 version.
