Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
December 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
You begin this spirited month with a New Moon in your sign, dear Sagittarius, helping clear the path for new personal beginnings. It's time to put your personal plans first.
You'll have to look back before going forward, however, with Mercury retrograde in your sign until the 15th, but this can eventually bring hefty rewards. Patience is necessary! Taking care of unfinished business makes sense so you can begin anew with far less baggage. While you have personal presence and power in December, you can sometimes be rather hard to get in touch with on some levels in the first half of the month.
The first weeks of December are an awakened, active period for you. Both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign, aligning in Sagittarius on the 5th. Your personality shines, and you project quite a bit of strength. Significant realizations, epiphanies, and clarifications can occur. You're able to see details you overlooked in the past. You can feel ready to make you want out of your life and focus on self-improvement.
While there's a strong focus on turning points and refreshment in December, Mars turns retrograde on the 6th, necessitating adjustments. Throughout this retrograde period (from December 6-February 23), it's appropriate to slow down, back up, and review. Enthusiasm for specific areas of life could change as you reassess your commitments or desires.
Retrograde Mars will move through two different sectors of your chart over this stretch. For the first four and a half weeks, there can be special attention to projects and activities related to publishing, law, education, travel, and belief systems. Some of these things can meet with delays or slowdowns. Your approach to experiencing life to its fullest may need an adjustment now. There may be some things that catch up with you at this time, prompting a need to review, return to a previous condition, or tie up loose ends. Aim to correct misunderstandings swiftly.
It's not that you lack confidence during Mars' retrograde, but that you often need to look within for answers. Questioning your plans is likely, and in fact quite necessary. The temptation to push ahead with personal plans is strong, but circumstances could have you feeling stuck. Watch for temper tantrums – they are unlikely to go over well. You'll be at your strongest if you tame impatience and work on projects that need fine-tuning or completion rather than adding more to your plate.
As you grow accustomed to this energy, you'll begin to realize that reviewing, renewing, and recycling can be the most rewarding activities – look to projects you've already started in the past with renewed interest and motivation, for example.
This month, until the 7th, you have Venus helping you with your finances, personal belongings, valuables, and business. It's a decent transit for relationships, too. Although your connections are pretty much status quo during this period, you are more inclined to value yourself and what you have to offer — an attitude that reverberates nicely to your relationships.
From the 7th forward, energies are strong for attracting who and what you want through your communications. You can experience a real need to share your ideas and decisions with someone you care about. Venus brings out your charm in communications and suggests that getting what you want can be easier with kind words and bonding with others on a mental level. It certainly helps soften Mercury's retrograde until the 15th.
There can be a lot of focus on, and possibly obsession with, your ideas or work as you begin the second week of December. Good energy is with you for really making progress on a project you feel passionately about, or for anything that requires persuasion. You are not afraid of getting into uncomfortable territory, and you’re quite magnetic and can come up with creative ways to get what you want! It’s also a strong time to learn more about yourself and the important people in your life.
The Full Moon on the 15th can bring a personal project or relationship to bloom. Epiphanies and revelations about relationships are possible in the days surrounding this lunation. At the same time, Mercury ends its retrograde in your sign, and from this date forward, information unclogs and delays lift.
You're reinvigorating dreams and plans with home life, family, or living arrangements in December. You might come to an understanding of a challenge from the past, helping you move forward.
On the 21st, the Sun moves out of your sign and begins its transit of your resources sector. It's a good time for settling in and turning your attention to projects with long-term potential that require patience. More attention to personal possessions, money matters, natural talents, and matters of security and comfort is likely in the last 10 days of the month.
The second to last day of the month (and year!) features a second New Moon and a potential new beginning on a financial level. You might get a fresh start with finances, income, valuables, self-esteem, or comfort matters as the year draws to a close. This lunation can give you a fantastic push towards taking better care of your money and resources. There are indications that you have some loose ends to tie up before pushing ahead, but it’s a great time to rethink your plans and look forward to potential financial growth.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
December 2024 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 6th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From December 7th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde since November 25th and until December 15th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. You may appear uncommunicative and hard to reach, or what you say comes out wrong. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
From the 15th forward, these matters straighten out and smooth over as information unclogs:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from December 6th forward (until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of creativity, children, recreation, entertainment, hobbies, and romance because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways, such as problems with a lover or child's enthusiasm, for example, or a creative project encountering some setbacks, or possibly an event or circumstance that prevents you from enjoying hobbies or leisurely activities for the time being. This may be a period of review of a love affair.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
December 2024 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 15th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From December 16th forward:

You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
From December 15th forward, information unclogs and these matters smooth and straighten out, and from the 23rd:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from December 6th forward (until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of creativity, children, recreation, entertainment, hobbies, and romance because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways, such as problems with a lover or child's enthusiasm, for example, or a creative project encountering some setbacks, or possibly an event or circumstance that prevents you from enjoying hobbies or leisurely activities for the time being. This may be a period of review of a love affair.
Occurring in your solar eighth house during this date range, enthusiasm for intimate and sharing matters, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. A lover or yourself may especially intense or obsessive. Ambiguity with finances, particularly debts and shared money or resources, could dominate now. There can be the magnification of fears and phobias, unexplored desires, and addictions now. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended. You could be exploring anger and assertion over deeply buried matters, and learning to better manage your life on an emotional level.

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:
December 2024 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From December 11th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.

The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 24th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From December 25th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas.

An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From December 15th forward, these matters straighten out as information unclogs:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from December 6th forward (until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of creativity, children, recreation, entertainment, hobbies, and romance because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways, such as problems with a lover or child's enthusiasm, for example, or a creative project encountering some setbacks, or possibly an event or circumstance that prevents you from enjoying hobbies or leisurely activities for the time being. This may be a period of review of a love affair.
Occurring in your solar eighth house during this date range, enthusiasm for intimate and sharing matters, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. A lover or yourself may especially intense or obsessive. Ambiguity with finances, particularly debts and shared money or resources, could dominate now. There can be the magnification of fears and phobias, unexplored desires, and addictions now. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended. You could be exploring anger and assertion over deeply buried matters, and learning to better manage your life on an emotional level.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
You begin this spirited month with a New Moon in your sign, dear Sagittarius, helping clear the path for new personal beginnings. It's time to put your personal plans first.
You'll have to look back before going forward, however, with Mercury retrograde in your sign until the 15th, but this can eventually bring hefty rewards. Patience is necessary! Taking care of unfinished business makes sense so you can begin anew with far less baggage. While you have personal presence and power in December, you can sometimes be rather hard to get in touch with on some levels in the first half of the month.
The first weeks of December are an awakened, active period for you. Both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign, aligning in Sagittarius on the 5th. Your personality shines, and you project quite a bit of strength. Significant realizations, epiphanies, and clarifications can occur. You're able to see details you overlooked in the past. You can feel ready to make you want out of your life and focus on self-improvement.
While there's a strong focus on turning points and refreshment in December, Mars turns retrograde on the 6th, necessitating adjustments. Throughout this retrograde period (from December 6-February 23), it's appropriate to slow down, back up, and review. Enthusiasm for specific areas of life could change as you reassess your commitments or desires.
Retrograde Mars will move through two different sectors of your chart over this stretch. For the first four and a half weeks, there can be special attention to projects and activities related to publishing, law, education, travel, and belief systems. Some of these things can meet with delays or slowdowns. Your approach to experiencing life to its fullest may need an adjustment now. There may be some things that catch up with you at this time, prompting a need to review, return to a previous condition, or tie up loose ends. Aim to correct misunderstandings swiftly.
It's not that you lack confidence during Mars' retrograde, but that you often need to look within for answers. Questioning your plans is likely, and in fact quite necessary. The temptation to push ahead with personal plans is strong, but circumstances could have you feeling stuck. Watch for temper tantrums – they are unlikely to go over well. You'll be at your strongest if you tame impatience and work on projects that need fine-tuning or completion rather than adding more to your plate.
As you grow accustomed to this energy, you'll begin to realize that reviewing, renewing, and recycling can be the most rewarding activities – look to projects you've already started in the past with renewed interest and motivation, for example.
This month, until the 7th, you have Venus helping you with your finances, personal belongings, valuables, and business. It's a decent transit for relationships, too. Although your connections are pretty much status quo during this period, you are more inclined to value yourself and what you have to offer — an attitude that reverberates nicely to your relationships.
From the 7th forward, energies are strong for attracting who and what you want through your communications. You can experience a real need to share your ideas and decisions with someone you care about. Venus brings out your charm in communications and suggests that getting what you want can be easier with kind words and bonding with others on a mental level. It certainly helps soften Mercury's retrograde until the 15th.
There can be a lot of focus on, and possibly obsession with, your ideas or work as you begin the second week of December. Good energy is with you for really making progress on a project you feel passionately about, or for anything that requires persuasion. You are not afraid of getting into uncomfortable territory, and you’re quite magnetic and can come up with creative ways to get what you want! It’s also a strong time to learn more about yourself and the important people in your life.
The Full Moon on the 15th can bring a personal project or relationship to bloom. Epiphanies and revelations about relationships are possible in the days surrounding this lunation. At the same time, Mercury ends its retrograde in your sign, and from this date forward, information unclogs and delays lift.
You're reinvigorating dreams and plans with home life, family, or living arrangements in December. You might come to an understanding of a challenge from the past, helping you move forward.
On the 21st, the Sun moves out of your sign and begins its transit of your resources sector. It's a good time for settling in and turning your attention to projects with long-term potential that require patience. More attention to personal possessions, money matters, natural talents, and matters of security and comfort is likely in the last 10 days of the month.
The second to last day of the month (and year!) features a second New Moon and a potential new beginning on a financial level. You might get a fresh start with finances, income, valuables, self-esteem, or comfort matters as the year draws to a close. This lunation can give you a fantastic push towards taking better care of your money and resources. There are indications that you have some loose ends to tie up before pushing ahead, but it’s a great time to rethink your plans and look forward to potential financial growth.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
