Leo

Leo's December opens on a playful note, with romance and creative work in the foreground. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 9 may suit a new hobby, a love story or a project you want your name on. Venus enters Scorpio on December 4 and may bring comfort, guests or a small refresh to your home, though its square to Pluto could stir a disagreement between family plans and a partner's wishes. Jupiter in your sign turns retrograde mid-month and asks whether recent growth still fits the person you are becoming. Around the same time, Saturn and Neptune turn direct in your travel and study area, so a postponed journey or course may begin to look realistic. Confidence gets a warm lift when your ruler, the Sun, trines Jupiter on December 19, especially in creative or romantic matters. After its move into Capricorn on December 21, the focus shifts to daily work and routines, where your loyalty and staying power can show. The Full Moon in Cancer a few days later may call for some private rest, and a closing trine between the Sun and Mars could link daily diligence with a stronger sense of material security.
