Capricorn

Capricorn spends the first half of December in a quieter, more private mood before stepping forward. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 9 falls in the hidden corner of your life, which may make it a good time to rest, reflect or finish something no one else sees. Your ruler Saturn turns direct on December 10 in your home and family area, so a domestic matter that has been stuck could ease, and a trine from Mercury right after can help a family conversation land well. With Venus in Scorpio, friends and group plans feel more welcoming, even if a square to Pluto mixes money and friendship in a delicate way. The pace picks up when the Sun enters your sign on December 21 and Mercury follows on December 25, putting your voice and presence up front. The Full Moon in Cancer between those dates may bring a partnership question to a turning point. In the final days, squares from both the Sun and Mercury to Saturn can test how your personal plans fit with family duties; building step by step may suit you better than forcing things. The Sun's trine to Mars, meanwhile, may support travel plans or a wish to study.
