It is darkest before dawn time. You should be at a magical retreat, meditating and contemplating the mysteries of life. If daily working life must continue, which it must, then at the very least, take it easy. The majority of planets are now in your twelfth house, which rules seclusion, quiet, and the deepest of inner times. You may feel a bit more tired than usual. You will definitely need more rest. Not the time to plan for a marathon nor for all your public events.

Relationships are key though. Finances aren’t spectacular but they remain steady for another month. What makes you profit the first half of 2026 – until June 30, 2026 – are collaborations and contracts. I see a lot of money connected with one or two of these.

But now in your most private house you have:

Awesome Sun, the giver of life, light and energy

Beautiful Venus, planet of love and beauty

Adoring Juno

Sexy, powerful Mars until December 15

Brilliant Mercury, planet of word and thought after December 11

An exciting new Sagittarius Moon on Friday, December 19

And your twelfth house, traditionally ruled by psychic Pisces, covers these areas of your life:

Healing, retreats, rest

Solitude alone time

Sleep and dreaming

Your unconscious

Psychological recovery

Your imagination

Your anima

Your creativity

Your private life

Your psyche

Ideas and inspirations

Writing

Psychic gifts

Psychological renewal

The past, including past sorrows

Therapy

Karma and past lives

Your innermost inner

Places of retreat, including hospitals, jails, detention centers

Secrets

Several very interesting secrets will be revealed this December. These will be in the area of your professional network, particularly close colleagues and friends. Some from the past make their re-entry back into your life. This is due to Mercury retrograde also in your eleventh house November 9 to November 29.

A good astrologer is a great detective as well as a healer, and I’ve always been a personal fan of the kid who shouts out the truth in Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes. Our beloved writer of moralistic fairy tales was born a brave Aries on April 2, 1805 in Odense, Denmark.

Going further here, Scorpio traditionally rules the eighth house, which rules, beyond secrets, other people’s money, shared resources, mutual funds, taxes, inheritance.

Within your own chart look at which planets you have in Scorpio and in which houses. Also on which cusp you have Scorpio. This gives you a clue as to where more light of day – secrets, revelations – will soon shine!

In your case, Capricorn, look at the areas of your social eleventh house: professional organizations and clubs to which you belong, as well as friends and colleagues in your field.

So time for introspection and reassessment now, rather than for parties and flaunting yourself. It is crucial that you surround yourself with helpful and optimistic people right now. To feel all the love that is around you. And there is so much, dear Capricorn!

I see you surrounded by love. Golden, beautiful, embracing white light. Just let yourself feel it as you read this horoscope, Capricorn.

Do you see how you really can’t do much else but rest right now? Even though you’re being pulled in all directions as usual and have a million things to do, and must put on a warm and smiling face to deal with everyone.

You carve out some private time now. Even if it’s journaling in a crowded Starbuck’s, or sitting in a train station for an hour. Or reading in a library. Just to be.

Then as they say it is time to put your face on again to meet the crowds. Through the rest of December and into the Christmas holiday.

It is this inner time that will help you feel more in control over your life again as you go about the world.

Finally, December is really a golden month for you in terms of LOVE. Know how loved you are, Capricorn. For you are, and you will be able to feel it in every pore of your body and your soul as this year ends.

Spend the next three weeks that your twelfth house of the unconscious demands: in exactly that – in your unconscious. Sleep. Dream. Create. Heal. Imagine.

Now is the time for your renewal and replenishment because. Next year. Is. Going. To. Rock.

For my British friends and whoever might be in London in Spring — the date for my Palmistry 101 course is Saturday, April 11 at The College of Psychic Studies. Book soon as size class is limited. And so I can give mini readings to all in the class!

It’s a 6-hour workshop, 11am to 5pm, we’ll have lunch together, and the fee of 130 pounds includes a mini reading from me in the class and membership to the historic College.

It’s a great honor to be teaching at The College of Psychic Studies again (I first taught, lectured, and read there in 2001). Founded in 1884, it has an impressive history. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) was President of the College 1901 – 1904. The College is located in South Kensington where I went to school as a child. It’s one of the most beautiful areas of London.

Simply put, I cannot wait to see you / meet you there!
