Aquarius begins December 2026 with an important decision to make about your romantic life, particularly if you have been avoiding a conversation about what you really want from a relationship. Jupiter remains in Leo, bringing attention to your partnerships and encouraging you to consider whether your present arrangements provide the affection and commitment you expect. You have been reluctant to express certain feelings because you are unsure how your partner will respond, although continued hesitation will only increase their frustration. When Mercury enters Sagittarius on 8 December, conversations with friends could help you understand what has been troubling you, but its opposition to retrograde Uranus in Gemini on the same date could bring an unexpected disagreement about your future together. The New Moon in Sagittarius on 9 December will give you an opportunity to change your approach and explain your intentions without allowing an earlier misunderstanding to influence the discussion.

Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo around 14 December, encouraging you to reconsider what you expect from a long-term partnership and whether you have been leaving too many important decisions to somebody else. Venus square Pluto on 16 December could bring a difficult conversation about trust or commitment, particularly if your partner believes you have been deliberately avoiding the subject. Someone finally understands you because you slowed down and listened.

Your professional life will bring considerable activity during December, particularly where you have been waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate your abilities or take on greater responsibility.

The New Moon in Sagittarius on 9 December will provide an opportunity to establish clearer expectations and make a fresh start with colleagues whose contributions have been difficult to coordinate. You must explain your point clearly to win quiet respect. Saturn turns direct in Aries around 13 December, helping you make progress with correspondence or negotiations that have been held up by practical difficulties. Neptune also turns direct in Aries around 14 December, making it easier to recognise where an unclear instruction has contributed to confusion and encouraging you to seek a more definite answer before proceeding. Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo around 14 December, bringing renewed attention to a professional partnership and encouraging you to reconsider whether an existing arrangement gives you enough independence.

Your social activities will provide several opportunities to enjoy the company of friends during December, although changing arrangements could make the opening weeks less predictable than expected. The Sun remains in Sagittarius until 23 December, encouraging you to take part in group activities and spend time with people whose interests are similar to your own.
