December is all about YOU. With Venus, planet of beauty, and Mars, planet of sexuality, both in your sign you have never been more seductive, more alluring, and flat-out gorgeous. Internal you may be being tortured by Mercury Retrograde – stinkin’ thinkin’, trying to figure it all out – in your unconscious and deepest inner, hiding in that retreat, but outer you is dancing in the center of us all, spellbinding and breathtaking and spectacular!

People are intensely interested in you. You’re at your charismatic best. Able to persuade anyone of anything. Extremely useful in business meetings, pitches, loan requests, and the like. Use it or lose it. Sexy Mars is here until December 15, beautiful Venus until January 13, 2026.

Your first house and your sign is where it’s all at now. In here you have:

Awesome Sun, the giver of life, light and energy

Beautiful Venus, planet of love and beauty

Sexy, powerful Mars until December 15

Adoring Juno

Brilliant Mercury, word and thought planet after December 11

An exciting new Sagittarius Moon Friday, December 19

And your first house, traditionally ruled by bold and brave Aries, covers these areas of your life:

YOU!

Your body

Your looks

Your identity

How others perceive you

Your self-image

Your behavior

Your disposition with others

Your self with others

Self-confidence

You’ll feel more like you than you have in a long time. A new look, admirers, and old lovers pop up at this time too. They bring back old parts of you. It will do you good, especially under the mischievous Gemini full Moon on Thursday, December 4.

A lot of power is being released from now until the end of December. You see with crystal clear clarity in the matter of family or home (or a property) – something that has been obscured in a fog.

Even when you retreat from the world, which you do when it gets so crazy out there, you still stay successful. You stay in the world’s social diary. All this first house activity keeps the world’s spotlight on you now.

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. OThis child could only be a truth-telling-at-all-cost Sagittarius! And our beloved writer of moralistic fairy tales was born a fellow fire sign 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!

Remember, lucky and profitable Jupiter – your ruler – is still in your eighth house of your and others’ monies. It’s been retrograde, and it stays so until March 10, 2026. THEN it’s direct – and extremely profitable indeed – all the way until June 30, 2026. That’s three months and three weeks of pure Jupiter-Sagittarius luck and profit in your financial arrangements and settlements with others.

December is also about ironically– not to sound corny about this but it does contradict your stunning outer – about unveiling the mysteries of your life and about pushing your spirituality to the max. You’re being called to do very important work, but behind the scenes.

The clean sweep. Darkest before dawn dealing with consequences. Karma. You find out buried secrets, most strongly about the past.

In your case, Sagittarius, look at the areas of your twelfth psychological house.

Pain comes when you try to hold on to what needs to go. Let it go. Or be dragged.

Now let’s get back to the fun part, how popular you’re going to be – and how amazing you’re going to look with beauty Venus and sexy Mars in your sign. Allow yourself to step into your brave new world.

“O brave new world,

That has such people in’t!” (Miranda from The Tempest)

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!
