Jupiter retrogrades back into Gemini on December 5, with planets moving into Sagittarius for a fiery exchange. By the end of the month, a Mercury–Jupiter sign exchange brings more clarity, even if we are still sketchy on the details or feel somewhat confused (Saturn-Neptune).Jupiter’s return to Gemini asks us to review our hopes (9th house) and dreams (12th house) and communicate something more meaningful and truthful. I recently read a report that stated more and more people are posting less and less on social media platforms. This trend reflects Jupiter’s transit in Gemini, where meaningless engagement no longer satisfies. When you’re ready to let go of what is not your purpose, how to achieve your purpose becomes clearer. Saturn stations direct in Pisces, conjunct Neptune, moving long-term goals forward, which must include ending an illusion. Certain things are no longer sustainable, including the ‘AI bubble’ everyone is worried about bursting. Mercury re-enters Scorpio and opposes Uranus on December 10, bringing more revelations. More hidden information resurfaces (Epstein files!) before a more open dialogue emerges later in the month as Mercury enters Sagittarius. We see four planets move from Scorpio to Sagittarius in December. Mars enters Sagittarius on December 7 (square Saturn), followed by the Sun (Dec 15), Venus (Dec 20), and Mercury (Dec 29). These planets are opposite retrograde Jupiter in Gemini, firing up a fight for truth. Yet Saturn’s restrictive gaze may delay full disclosure.If you know your purpose, you’re more likely to fight for it. However, with several planets in combustion (close to the Sun), motivation may be high, but your conviction may blind you to objective reality.The Full Moon in Taurus (Rohiṇī) on December 4 offers warmth and grounding amid uncertain changes during the first week of December, reminding us of the cyclical nature of enjoyment as a necessary counterbalance to Scorpio themes. The New Moon in Sagittarius (Mūla) on December 20 cuts to the chase, bringing both healing and confrontation, especially around family, beliefs, and long-held patterns. This occurs just before the Solstice, which is itself a turning point.

As the year ends, Mercury enters Sagittarius and inspires hope and enthusiasm.
