December 2026 Horoscope: Every Sign Forecast & Crystal of the Month
December 2026 at a Glance
December 2026 closes the year in two movements: a reflective Jupiter retrograde beginning December 12, and the festive close of the calendar. A New Moon in Sagittarius on December 7 opens the month with intention-setting, while a Full Moon in Cancer on December 24 (the Cold Moon) brings the year home — emotionally and literally. As Jupiter slows to retrograde in Leo, December asks you to review the year’s expansion before 2027 begins.

December 2026 Energy Theme
December is for gratitude and recalibration. Jupiter’s retrograde on the 12th turns the year’s expansive energy inward — a chance to integrate what 2026 built before reaching for more. The Sagittarius New Moon sets hopeful intentions for 2027; the Cancer Full Moon brings emotional completion to the year.
Crystal of the Month: Citrine
December 2026’s defining energy calls for Citrine — abundance, warmth, and the solar energy to close the year in gratitude and set up 2027’s prosperity.
