3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Going To Have The Best Month In December

The last month of 2024 is here, and a few zodiac signs are ready to make the most of it!

Let’s address the elephant(s) in the room—Mercury in Sagittarius and Mars in Leo are both in retrograde this month, making it difficult to see how anyone will be having their “best” month. However, retrogrades can be our best friend or worst enemy, depending on how willing we are to slow down and reflect. While mishaps and miscommunication are bound to arise, it’s how we handle these situations that counts.

Outside of this, there are plenty of positive moments this month. A new moon in Sagittarius allows us to start the month with new priorities we can dream big about. Venus moving into Aquarius shifts our focus onto how we show up for others and interact with the collective as a whole. A full moon in Gemini helps us gain closure and clarity in areas we have been wrestling with (especially since Mercury in retrograde ends on the same day). The start of Capricorn season shifts our focus to our vision for the upcoming year, and we end the month with a new moon in Capricorn that will push us to set new goals and a clean slate for the new year.

While all the zodiac signs will experience the effects of these transits, a few will notice big changes and excitement in major areas of their lives. Check below to see which three zodiac signs will have the best month this December!

Sagittarius

It’s your time to shine, Sagittarius! Your season dominates most of this month, so it’s no surprise you’re feeling the excitement this time of year. The new moon in Sagittarius appears in your 1st House of Self and Identity, which is having you focus on goals and intentions surrounding who you are and your place in the world. Mercury is also still retrograding in your sign, making it difficult to cut through the haze and focus on future goals, which may feel frustrating. Making significant changes to your appearance or presentation isn’t advised until later in the month, so be cautious until after the retrograde. The key is to reflect on how far you’ve come this year—you don’t have to live in the past to acknowledge its importance. Sitting with the lessons you’ve learned can help you carve a more straightforward path toward a future version of yourself that you will be even more proud of. 

The full moon in Gemini will shift your focus to your relationships, and this period will be a great reminder of what true connection is to you. You may discover that certain connections have to come to a natural conclusion or that certain unhealthy relationship habits must be dealt with. If you can be honest about your wants and needs, it can help you create healthier dynamics in your connections. By the end of the month, you’ll feel more confident in yourself, your relationships, and your vision for the future. 

Pisces

Your legacy continues to take shape, Pisces. While this month can be chaotic for various reasons, your focus continues to be on work and your public image. The new moon in Sagittarius guides you to set realistic, yet bold, intentions for your career in the future, though Mercury in retrograde and Mars in retrograde may throw some curveballs your way. Miscommunications and uncertainty may appear these first few weeks, but now is the time to use your adaptable nature to make the best out of bad situations. You may feel you’re bucking under the weight of everything on your shoulders, but if you can take a step back and use patience, you’ll find you’ve always been capable of handling these moments.

Later this month, the full moon in Gemini will have you reminding yourself that rest and family foundations are necessary to sustain you as you move ahead in your work life. You may become aware of ways you’ve neglected yourself and others as you have pursued a name for yourself, but now is the time to make amends and prioritize these areas for a well-balanced life. Capricorn season will usher in an exciting time for you to connect with others who share your visions and goals for the future, reminding you that creating a legacy isn’t just about you but those you surround yourself with. You have much to be proud of as you enter a new year. 

Leo

This month is significant for you, Leo! Yes, Mars is retrograding in your sign (and it will be even into next year), and with it occurring in your 1st House of Self and Identity, it may feel frustrating to express yourself in the ways you’re used to. This month asks you to look at how you go about self-expression and pursuing joy and how slowing down and reflecting could help you in ways you’ve never imagined. You’re known for taking a bold, fiery approach, and that can work well for you occasionally. Yet the new moon in Sagittarius, alongside Mercury in retrograde, asks you to look back before taking your next steps. Rather than diving in without thinking things through, how can you use your past to avoid the same mistakes over and over? 

Your saving grace this month comes in the form of support from your loved ones. While your confidence often leaves you feeling like you should do everything alone, Venus moves into your 7th House of Partnerships, highlighting the support and importance of your friends and loved ones. If you’re willing to be open and vulnerable, the people with your best interests in mind will show up for you. While this month may feel tense at times, your ability to slow down and reassess your life and what brings you passion will aid in your evolution to a more fulfilled, confident version of yourself—are you ready?
