Virgo

Home and roots take the lead for Virgo in December, though Mars in your sign keeps you on the move. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 9 favors a fresh start with family, a home project or simply a calmer atmosphere at home. Your ruler Mercury moves through the same territory from December 6, and its square to Mars may spark quick tempers under one roof, so pausing before you reply could help. Earlier, Mars's square to Uranus may jolt a career plan, while a smooth Venus-Mars link mid-month can make conversations with siblings or neighbors easier. Once the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21, the mood turns lighter, with room for romance, hobbies and time with children. The Full Moon in Cancer on December 24 may bring a friendship or a group plan to a meaningful point. With Jupiter retrograde in Leo, dreams you have kept to yourself may ask for some quiet sorting. December closes with the Sun trining Mars, a helpful moment for your own plans; since Mars is set to turn retrograde next month, your practical instinct to finish what is already underway may serve you better than launching something new.
