Hey there, folks! It’s me, Sumi Jun. Winter just snuck up on us out of nowhere.
You won’t believe this, but just last weekend, I was strolling around in a tank top, and now I’m layered up with a fluffy thermal shirt. But hey, it’s December now, and the cold is due. Stepping into the final month of 2019, what’s in store for the zodiac signs? What twists and turns are we in for? Let’s not rush; let’s dive in.
December 3rd – Jupiter Enters Capricorn
Jupiter is about to bid farewell to Sagittarius after a year-long stay. During this time, did you manage to achieve something significant in your field?
On December 3, Jupiter enters Capricorn, sticking around for about a year before it leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius on December 19, 2020. Jupiter is in a bit of a funk in Capricorn, not getting the resources it needs. While Jupiter will still try its best to bring us luck, it can’t quite perform at its peak. The lesson here is to take things step by step, the Capricorn way.
This year’s been a tough one, with more experiences of the coldness of human nature and the harsh realities of society. We’ve had to let go of some things to fit in and grow. But it’s also a year where hard work pays off, and all our sweat and toil will yield bountiful results.
December 9th – Mercury Enters Sagittarius
Mercury shifts into Sagittarius and stays until the 29th. This period is like a mini Mercury retrograde.
Sagittarius infuses Mercury with its free-spirited creativity and fun-loving humor, but its impatience and straightforward nature can disrupt Mercury’s logic and calm, making it unstable, impulsive, and restless.
We might become lazy, aiming high but too tired to actually dive into research and learning. We could become boastful, insensitive, and start showing interest in exotic cultures, religion, and mysticism. While exploring our inner soul is good, it’s easy to get sidetracked by external influences.
December 12th – Gemini Full Moon
The Gemini full moon marks the last full moon of 2019, a time to reflect on the year, harvest our gains, learn from our mistakes, and plan for the year ahead.
Gemini, ruled by Mercury and located in the third house of the zodiac, governs communication and exchange. But Gemini is also prone to anxiety. Sensitive souls might feel particularly edgy around the full moon.
It’s a good idea to chat with others and not bottle up your feelings. Writing down your thoughts can also help you manage your emotions and understand yourself better.
December 20th – Venus Enters Aquarius
Venus moves into Aquarius, shaping our values, financial views, and tastes in material enjoyment and romance.
Venus in Aquarius will hang around for about two weeks, reflecting the traits of Aquarius—detachment, independence, and a rebellious streak. Our views on love and values become more rational and independent, and we may start to cherish the freedom of being single. The heat of relationships fades, and we enter a period of calm reflection.
December 22nd – Sun Enters Capricorn
Capricorn marks the beginning of winter, and as the sun enters this sign, it signifies the start of a new season. The harsh conditions and scarcity of winter have shaped Capricorn’s traits of resilience, introspection, and a focus on material and status. Under this influence, we become more practical, serious, and dedicated to our work. However, the downside might be a tendency to become somewhat pessimistic and rigid in our views.
December 26th – Capricorn New Moon
The last new moon of 2019 lands in Capricorn, the perfect time to set new goals for the year ahead, leveraging the power of the new moon. With Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus adding their energy, the vibes are particularly strong. Expect some surprising news or a pleasant surprise related to money, food, or material things. It could be winning a big meal or someone suddenly returning a loan.
December 29th – Mercury Enters Capricorn
Mercury leaves Sagittarius and enters Capricorn, finally ending the "mini Mercury retrograde." Our minds will clear up, becoming sharp, rational, and calm. With Capricorn’s influence, we’ll think more long-term, especially regarding career and work-related issues. We might become a bit too realistic, even cold and emotionless.
During this time, some companies start planning for a shake-up, and many people will consider job changes, salary negotiations, and other career moves. It’s time to review our work achievements and set new goals for the year ahead.
This article is valid for a month, so feel free to bookmark it. The last month of 2019 is bound to bring good luck. Let’s (yes, I know that’s Chinese, but it’s the spirit that counts!) and make the most of it.
And hey, grab that dose of good luck I’m throwing your way—did you catch it?
