By Meghan Rose

Welcome to December—a month of bold reflections and fresh beginnings as the stars align for a powerful close to the year. With two transformative new moons, Mercury and Neptune stationing direct, and the sun moving into driven Capricorn, the cosmic energy invites you to reassess your path, release what no longer serves you, and step confidently into 2025.

Check out the guidance for both your rising and sun signs below to see what the universe has in store. Each tarot card offers insight to help you navigate December’s twists and turns with clarity and purpose. Let’s dive in!

Aries —Knight of Cups

You’ll feel a pull toward connecting with your emotions in a deeper way this month. While your usual approach to life is bold and action-oriented, the Knight of Cups encourages you to soften and lead with your heart. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, friendship, or a professional setting, pay attention to your intuition and practice honest, heartfelt communication with everyone—including yourself. It’s also a great time to focus on creative pursuits and self-expression. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to say, now is the time to let it out.

Taurus — Queen of Pentacles

This month is about nurturing stability and caring for yourself and those around you. The Queen of Pentacles calls you to find balance between responsibilities and self-care. Focus on creating a comfortable environment for yourself, whether that means tending to your physical space, cultivating healthier habits, or establishing a routine that keeps you grounded. As a naturally nurturing person, you may find satisfaction in helping others, but make sure your own needs are being met, too. This card suggests a time to enjoy the small luxuries in life and recognize the importance of well-being on all levels. Take some time to appreciate the beauty of a stable, supportive environment.

Gemini — Eight of Cups

Gemini, this month, you’re encouraged to let go of anything that’s holding you back from feeling truly fulfilled. The Eight of Cups suggests it’s time to release old patterns, relationships, or situations that no longer align with who you are becoming. It may feel daunting to step away from the familiar, but this is about making room for something better. Trust that moving forward will lead you closer to your aspirations and emotional well-being. This is a journey of personal growth, and while it may require some courage, you’re ready to embrace the unknown.

Cancer— King of Cups

The transits of December call for emotional wisdom and balance. The King of Cups invites you to navigate any challenges with a calm and compassionate mindset. You may find yourself stepping into a role where you need to support others, whether in your personal or professional life. Approach situations (and people) with patience, understanding, and empathy. This is also a wonderful time to practice self-care and focus on your emotional health. By staying connected to your inner wisdom, you’ll be able to offer insight and guidance to others while maintaining your own boundaries. Try welcoming others into your inner world and doing the things you love with the people you love, rather than separating the two.

Leo —Six of Pentacles

Balance is the theme of your month, especially when it comes to giving and receiving. The Six of Pentacles encourages you to consider where you’re investing your energy and if you’re receiving support in return. Generosity can bring great rewards, but only when it’s balanced with reciprocity. Be mindful of where you offer your time, resources, and energy—giving should feel reciprocal. This is also a great time to think about how you can contribute to others, whether that’s through mentorship, volunteering, or simply being a good listener. Instead of focusing so much on personal relationships and keeping score, try to put yourself in spaces where you are just meant to give and spaces where you are just meant to receive. A spa day after volunteering would be a great place to start re-learning this month.

Virgo— Four of Cups

You have weeks of reflection and reassessment ahead of you. This is not about overthinking, this is about learning how to relate to your thoughts and your life without spiraling. The Four of Cups suggests you may feel a bit disconnected or dissatisfied in the present moment, but this is an invitation to look within. Take time to explore whether something is missing or if you’re overlooking an opportunity that could bring you fulfillment. It’s easy to get caught up in routines, but consider whether these habits are truly serving you. Sometimes, stepping back helps you see what’s been right in front of you all along.

Libra — Eight of Wands

Get ready for a month of rapid movement and momentum. The Eight of Wands suggests that things are about to pick up speed in various aspects of your life, whether it’s career, relationships, or personal projects. This burst of energy can be exciting, but it’s important to stay organized to keep up with the fast pace. Do not let yourself get burnt out while you start living with purpose. Embrace the changes coming your way, and trust that this flow will guide you toward your goals. If you’ve been waiting for news or a decision, it may come sooner than expected. Be flexible and open to adapting as circumstances evolve.

Scorpio — Knight of Swords

This month calls for focused action and clear thinking from you to get things done. The Knight of Swords is here to encourage you to pursue your goals with precision and determination. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to accomplish, this month is the time to dive in. Cut through distractions, set clear intentions, and approach tasks with purpose. You may feel a surge of energy that propels you forward, making it easier to tackle challenges head-on. Stay open to new ideas and be willing to adapt, but remain grounded in your ambitions. While it’s essential to keep your eyes on the prize, don’t forget to consider the impact of your actions on others. Approach situations with integrity, and remember that thoughtful communication can go a long way. Your drive and determination will be your greatest assets, helping you reach your goals faster than anticipated.

Sagittarius —Nine of Cups

Sagittarius, this month brings a sense of contentment and satisfaction your way. The Nine of Cups is known as the “wish card,” and it suggests that you may find yourself in a period where your dreams and desires are coming to fruition. Take a moment to appreciate all that you’ve achieved, and recognize the abundance in your life. This card reminds you to savor the moment and to be grateful for the blessings around you. Whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal growth, acknowledge the hard work that’s led you here. This is also a time to think about what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. Focus on what makes your soul feel nourished, and don’t be afraid to indulge in activities that bring happiness. This is a moment to celebrate yourself and to continue building a life that feels aligned with your truest desires.

Capricorn — Ten of Swords

December is going to be a month that marks a time of release and renewal in your life. The Ten of Swords signifies the end of a challenging cycle, encouraging you to let go of any pain, stress, or setbacks that have been weighing you down. It may be time to face difficult emotions or let go of situations that no longer serve you. This process may feel intense, but it’s also an opportunity for undeniable transformation for you. As you release the past, you create space for new beginnings and fresh perspectives. Reflect on what you’ve learned from recent experiences, and use that wisdom to move forward with resilience. Remember that every ending brings with it the promise of a new chapter. Now is the time when new beginnings arrive.

Aquarius — Queen of Cups

Emotional depth and intuition are afoot in your life and your relationships. The Queen of Cups encourages you to connect with your inner self and to trust your feelings as valuable sources of insight while making decisions. Take time to reflect on what truly matters to you, and prioritize self-care and nurturing activities that support your well-being. This is a wonderful time for introspection and for exploring your dreams and inner desires. You may feel a heightened sense of empathy toward others, making it easier to connect and offer support where it’s needed. Trust in your emotional intelligence, and don’t be afraid to show vulnerability when forging new connections.

Pisces — Four of Pentacles

Pisces, this month encourages you to focus on stability and setting boundaries. The Four of Pentacles suggests that it may be a time to be mindful of your resources, both financially and emotionally. Take stock of where you’re investing your energy, and make sure that it really aligns with your priorities. Not just partially—fully. It’s okay to set boundaries and to hold onto what you need to feel secure. However, remember not to become overly guarded in the process. Life is not about extremes, all or nothing, wide open or closed shut. Sometimes, the more we try to control something, the more we restrict its growth. Reflect on areas and connections in your life where you might be limiting yourself by trying to hold onto it too tightly and loosen the grip a bit.
