The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, followed by the onset of eclipse season with a New Moon on the 26th. It's out with the old and in with the new just in time for the new year.

The month begins with expansive Jupiter moving into Capricorn where it will be transiting through your career sector for the next year. This time frame requires you to match your big faith with practical efforts that will ultimately have you reaping some major benefits around this time next year. On the 9th, Mercury moves into Sagittarius, putting you in a position to inspire others with the wisdom you have to share. This transit encourages you to go back to school or attend those seminars to flex your brainpower. Now that we're out of the retrograde, this is a perfect time to plan that international getaway as well.
The Full Moon on the 12th is supportive for finalizing and releasing any projects you've been working on behind the scenes. Use this time to also reassess your personal narrative. Around the 15th, good luck may be knocking on your door with a raise or career move that will put you on the map. On the 20th, Venus moves into Aquarius to help you attract the right people to meet your goals. The month winds down with a New Moon solar eclipse on the 26th, inviting you to release your fears about stepping into your personal power. You're a born leader, babe. It's time to show it to the world.
Taurus

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
After transiting through Sagittarius for the past year, Jupiter moves into your sister sign on the 2nd, requiring you to get more serious when it comes to your spiritual development. Going back to school, attending seminars, or doing some in-depth research will benefit your quest for greater spiritual awareness. Opportunities to share your wisdom as a teacher will likely present themselves along the way. On the 9th, Mercury moves into truth-seeking (and telling) Sagittarius, making this a good time to book that therapy session or call up that person you consider as your soft place to land.
The Full Moon on the 12th encourages you to take a look at your finances which will require you to reassess your money mindset. Be mindful of the ways you sabotage your earning potential due to scarcity complex. Around the middle of the month, you're invited to embrace your inner genius and act upon the brilliant ideas that are flooding your beautiful mind. On the 20th, Venus moves into Aquarius, helping you attract the right people to help you advance professionally. If the seasonal depression is taking a toll on you, plan that getaway to somewhere warm and sunny. The month ends with a New Moon Solar eclipse on the 26th, inviting you to check in with your higher self to make sure you're still walking your path of purpose.
Gemini

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
The month begins with Jupiter moving into Capricorn where it will be for the next year, inviting you to take the hero's journey through your psyche. It may not be the easiest energy to deal with but it will teach you the value of showing up to face some of your deepest fears pertaining to matters of intimacy and sexuality. On the 9th, Mercury moves into Sagittarius, stimulating your relationships with more passion, making it a great time to share that vibrant energy of yours with your loved ones. Your Full Moon takes place on the 12th and you're the center of attention (and the drama if you're more worried about being right than simply sharing your thoughts at the holiday gathering).
Around the 15th, a sudden revelation is the catalyst you need to transform your money mindset. Your dreams, along with guidance from your ancestors, are granting you with some amazing ideas to increase your abundance. You may even receive some financial support from an unexpected source. On the 20th, Venus moves into your sister sign and you could be meeting someone in an educational setting or while traveling. An opportunity to share your work could provide some extra holiday cash so don't be afraid to share your unconventional ideas. The New Moon Solar eclipse on the 26th encourages you to celebrate the transformation you're in the midst of—regardless of how tough it is. Remember, dahling, it takes pressure to make diamonds.
Cancer

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
Over the next year, your close relationships will help you experience the most growth with Jupiter moving into Capricorn on the 2nd. During this transit, you and bae may be tying the knot (or you'll meet that special someone you can do life with). Favorable business connections are also likely under this influence. When Mercury moves into Sagittarius on the 9th, be mindful of what you discuss amongst your coworkers. Err on the side of caution when it comes to expressing your political or religious views. On the 12th, the Full Moon in Gemini helps you get clear on what (and who) needs to be let go before stepping into 2020.
Around the middle of the month, luck favors you thanks to all of your networking efforts. As the saying goes, "It's not what you know. It's who you know." On the 20th, Venus moves into Aquarius, making you a magnet for financial support; thus it's the perfect time to apply for that loan or line of credit. Towards the end of the month, most of the action takes place in Capricorn—your relationship house. They don't call this time of year engagement season for no reason. If romance isn't your top priority, expect for your clientele to expand or to start that new job just in time for the new year. On the 26th, the New Moon Solar eclipse encourages you to seek more balance within new and existing partnerships that will be a part of the legacy you're building together.
Leo

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
After Jupiter spent the last year expanding your creativity, its transit through Capricorn requires you to get more disciplined regarding your daily routines. Practice makes perfect, whether your aim is to transform your physical body, improve your health, or to simply tap into a better rhythm in your day-to-day activities. On the 9th, Mercury moves into Sagittarius to boost your confidence even more while also bringing opportunities for romance into your life. The Full Moon on the 12th makes you the center of attention amongst your friends but what's new to the most popular sign of the zodiac? If you're big into social media, you could go viral around this time.
Around the middle of the month, luck is on your side professionally. The long hours and hard work haven't gone unnoticed. Your inner genius will be activated at this time so make sure to jot down your ideas. On the 20th, Venus moves into Aquarius and partnerships (romantic and business) prosper when there's a like-minded vision that can be accomplished in unison. The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, shortly followed by the New Moon eclipse on the 26th. It's time to examine any bad habits that affect your mental and physical health. Make sure to compartmentalize your inner critic, which has a sneaky way of distracting you from your purpose.
Virgo

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
December begins with Jupiter moving into Capricorn where it'll transit through for the next year, inspiring you to reach new heights in your creativity and self-expression. If you're open to romance, this can also be a good time to start dating again. On the 9th, Mercury moves into Sagittarius, getting you in the spirit to spend time with your family. The Full Moon on the 12th calls for celebration of a long-awaited professional goal. On the same day, Chiron goes direct and you're feeling more empowered to march to the beat of your own drum. There are followers and there are leaders. Trust your abilities, and the temporary discomfort, that comes with paving a new lane.
Around the 15th, a sudden opportunity to share your creation or expertise may present itself. On the 20th, Venus moves into Aquarius and a fellow co-worker could finally shoot their shot (or vice versa). During this transit, you'll be more attracted to people that can keep up with your Mercurial mind. Volunteering at a local organization can also be a great way to meet someone. On the 21st, Capricorn season begins with a New Moon Solar eclipse following behind on the 26th. It's time to wrap up one project to make room for the new creations you're incubating this winter. Make sure to let your inner child out to play these last few days of the year before it's back to business in 2020!
Libra

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
The month kicks off with Jupiter moving into Capricorn, bringing your focus to family and home over the next year. You may be adding a new addition to your family, buying a home, or investing in real estate during this transit. On the 9th, Mercury spices up your communication, making you a joy to be around given the extra enthusiasm you're experiencing. Be a voice of encouragement to those around you! The Full Moon on the 12th helps you straighten out any immigration or travel affairs. If you're in school, it's finally time to wrap up the semester for a much-needed break (and vacation). A much-needed "aha" moment occurs around the 15th, regarding intimacy blocks that were developed in your childhood.
On the 20th, Venus invites you to do more of what you love whether that's getting back to that creative hobby or allowing yourself to indulge in your fav rom-coms. Capricorn season officially begins on the 21st, encouraging you to connect with your roots. The New Moon Solar eclipse on the 26th helps you break free from generational patterns that strip you of your personal autonomy. Once Mercury moves into Capricorn on the 28th, you're ready to move past the mental barriers that inhibit you from living life by your design.
Scorpio

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
Over the next year, Jupiter is helping you expand through learning and communication. Some of you may be going back to school or embracing the power of your voice through writing or vlogging. On the 9th, Mercury has you focused on your hustle, making this a good time to profit off of your area of expertise. The Full Moon on the 12th invites you to see some of your most traumatic experiences through a clearer lens. You have the power to transform your pain into something beautiful.

Your words have more power than you know. Mercury moving into this same part of your chart on the 28th emphasizes the importance of how you communicate which has the potential to place you in a position of greater influence.
Sagittarius

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
After spending the past year in your sign, Jupiter moves into Capricorn to expand your finances and enhance your self-esteem. On the 9th, Mercury moves into your sign, making this a busy time for you. Stay on top of your text messages, emails, and DMs so you don't miss out on those important invitations. The Full Moon on the 12th finalizes a chapter within a key relationship or business agreement so you can make space for something better. Around the 15th, unexpected money may be gifted to you from some work you completed a while ago.
Venus moves into Aquarius on the 20th, making you a magnet for attention on your social media platforms. Online dating is also favorable during this transit as well. If you're not interested in romance, this could be a great time to feel a sense of community amongst your followers or subscribers. Towards the end of the month, most of the action takes place in Capricorn with a New Moon Solar eclipse on the 26th encouraging you to sift through your scarcity complex so you can finally reap the abundance that has your name on it. On the 28th, Mercury helps you get focused on building more long-term security for yourself and your loved ones.
Capricorn

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
The month begins with Jupiter moving into your sign for the next year, which should be a bit of a reprieve with the pressure of Saturn in your sign. You'll still be required to bust your ass but the rewards will be that much sweeter over the months to come as this transit stretches you in ways your favorite lover could never. On the 9th, Mercury intensifies your dreams while also helping you burn through karmic baggage that needs to be laid to rest before 2020. The Full Moon on the 12th may reveal a hidden enemy in the workspace. Don't fret though. Clearly, you've got something worth hating on.
A sweet, romantic surprise may await you around the 15th. Either that or your creative genius will inspire the next R&B sensation within yourself. On the 20th, Venus helps you attract financial opportunities and connections that are in alignment with your purpose. During this time, a mental connection is top priority for you when it comes to love. The month winds down with the Sun entering your sign (happy birthday!) and a New Moon Solar eclipse inviting you to shed the layers of the old you to embrace the new form that is to come in the new year.
Aquarius

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
December kicks off with Jupiter moving into Capricorn, helping you to expand spiritually over the next year through a more disciplined approach than you may be used to. On the 9th, Mercury has you excited to connect with new and old friends alike during the holiday season. There could even be discussions about how you all can collaborate towards a joint effort or cause. The Full Moon on the 12th invites your inner child out to play. It's time to reveal that creative project or indulge in some wining and dining. Embrace pleasure and allow yourself to get whisked away in adventure, whether it's a short vacay or trying out that wine bar that's been on your list for a while.
Your ancestors may be trying to get through to you around the 15th. Pay attention to your dreams and any synchronicities that remind you of their presence. On the 20th, Venus moves into your sign and all eyes are on you. This is one of the most favorable times of the year for you to receive all of the blessings and abundance you so rightfully deserve. The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st and is shortly followed by the New Moon Solar eclipse on the 26th. What are you being called to release? What lessons have you mastered at this point? Karmic closure is available to you as long as you're willing to surrender to the process and embrace the void that will soon be filled with new life.
Pisces

Laci Jordan/xoNecole
After spending the last year in Sagittarius, Jupiter moves into Capricorn on the 2nd, helping you expand your social network and online presence. This transit won't be easy but it will provide you with long-lasting results as long as you stay committed to the vision. On the 9th, Mercury lights the fire beneath your ass, motivating you to boss up professionally. Your superiors are loving your optimistic, go-getter attitude, which makes you a prime candidate for a raise or promotion. The Full Moon on the 12th brings some family drama to the surface for resolution. This could also indicate a time in which you change residence as well.
Around the 15th, you could receive some good news that allows you to share your work on a larger scale. Venus, planet of love and money, draws in some assistance from an unexpected source. Pay close attention to your dreams as they provide insight into beliefs that are blocking your flow of abundance. On the 21st, the Sun moves into Capricorn followed by a New Moon Solar eclipse on the 26th. It's time to ditch the self-sabotaging agenda that keeps you stuck in unfulfilling friendships. Moving into 2020, you'll be connecting with your real tribe that's down to support you and your dreams 100%.

Your December 2025 Monthly Horoscopes Are All About Surrender & Alignment
December is about letting go. We end the year with the need for more peace, reflection, and rejuvenation, and that is exactly what December is providing for us. The Sun is in Sagittarius, and anything is possible. This is the month to believe in that and to know that the universe is supporting you. With a Supermoon in Gemini as we begin the month as well, we have an opportunity to gain the closure we have been looking for this year and to wrap up old projects, ideas, and communication breakthroughs.
This is the month to make your peace the priority and let go of trying to control the way the tides are turning. Trust in your new beginning, and give yourself time to prepare for it this month.
A big part of the clarity that is coming through this month is due to Neptune going direct in Pisces on December 10, after being retrograde here since July.

The smoke is clearing, and it’s up to you to decide what you want to do with this newfound clarity that this transit is bringing.

This transit is an ideal time to focus on your career or financial goals for next year and to start putting some of these plans into motion now. A few days later, we have the New Moon of the month, which will be in Sagittarius on December 19, and this is the perfect New Moon to manifest.
The energy is high, magic is in the air, and it’s all about moving forward with the new beginnings that are inspiring you and bringing you joy to think about right now.
Capricorn Season officially begins on December 21, and this earth sign energy is how we heal, gain closure, and build new foundations in our world. With Venus also moving into a Capricorn a few days later, there is something about peace, prosperity, and security that we are gaining in life and in love as we close out the year, and this is what we need right now.

Why The Cayman Islands Is The Ideal Soft-Life Island-Hopping Destination
It's always a pleasure to add a new stamp to the passport, especially when it's an opportunity to visit a country you've never been to. When invited to explore the Cayman Islands, I was very familiar with Grand Cayman—the largest among the three islands, known for its stunning clear-blue beaches, and modern city comforts—but I seriously slept on Cayman Brac.
On a six-day trip, I knew Grand Cayman would be that girl, but the smaller sister island Cayman Brac? She’s the captivating, low-key spot that is a whole soft-life fantasy.
This trip was my first time in the destination, via the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism (@visitcaymanislands) and it had all the luxe chill and exploration that makes for great memories that will prompt anybody to want to return again and again. Plus, it was the tail end of rainy season, which is basically my jam because off-peak travel makes me feel like a VIP. I get the beauty, the beaches, the food, the people—without the crowds and noise.
Let’s get into how you can pack your Cayman Islands itinerary with cultural exploration, elevated cuisine, deep restoration, and an island-hopping adventure along the way.
GRAND CAYMAN
Grand Cayman hits you with that effortless island confidence from the moment you land. It’s the largest of the Cayman Islands, known for crystal-clear Caribbean waters and a culture that blends British influence with laid-back island charm.
Visitors pull up for Seven Mile Beach, stingray encounters, fresh seafood, and those luxe resorts and villas that make unplugging way too easy.
Where To Stay

Grand Cayman Marriott Resort: This property offers ocean views, polished comfort, with easy access to everything near Seven Mile Beach. (Marriott stays are often a go-to for me when I’m in the mood for a resort stay where the standards are consistent no matter the destination).
The spacious rooms, warm staff, and a pool area perfect for quick resets between adventures were a hit for me. Despite the patchy rain, lounging by the pool felt like a reset button.
I popped into the gift shop and found pieces from Isy B, the Cayman-based brand created by Isy Obi, a Black woman who pivoted from finance to fashion. The designs are bold, colorful, full of vibes I love to reference when returning home.
Botanica Luxury Cottages: The cluster boutique cottages blend island-chic décor with modern touches. My cabin had vaulted ceilings, washer and dryer, roomy showers, a cozy lounge area, and a private outdoor nook with stylish umbrellas and seating perfect for reading, sunbathing, or unwinding. A pool is just a short walk away on the property and Seven Mile Beach was just a quick drive. I took a two-mile stroll along the shoreline where families, chilled-out tourists, and sleek beach clubs lended to a balanced and laid-back but lively environment.

Where To Eat
Pom Pom: This breezy rooftop lounge serving curated cocktails with a relaxed, stylish vibe and mellow music was the perfect evening welcome to the island. And the sunsets are divine.
Avecita Chef’s Table: It’s an amazing multi-course dining experience where chefs craft global flavor fusions right in front of you. Expect bubbles, bold tastes, and an ambiance that feels refined without being pretentious. This is one experience I definitely plan to fly back to Cayman for in the new year.
Pepper’s Bar & Grill: Conveniently located just across the street from the resort, it’s a local casual spot with live music and unique takes on Caribbean meal staples. The Cayman-style jerk pork was a favorite.
Ristorante Pappagallo: Set on a 14-acre bird sanctuary overlooking a saltwater lagoon, this brunch delivered everything from sushi to risotto to curry goat to barbacoa tacos. The white tablecloth elegance paired with homestyle warmth and peaceful water views made the whole experience feel elevated yet comforting.Bacaro
Bacaro: This is where we had our farewell dinner, enjoying their Venetian-inspired small plates and curated cocktails. If you want a final night with your partner or even your best girl group, this is the spot.
Things To Do:

Floating Sound Bath with Island Soul: The floating meditation was calming, grounding, and deeply restorative. We had the sky and breeze as a backdrop and listened to music, prompts and chimes that allowed us to simply float and be.
Anchor & Den Cocktail Class at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort: I thoroughly enjoyed this lively, hands-on cocktail-making session which would be fun for couples, friends, or anyone wanting a playful evening activity without leaving the property.
The Grove: This is a foodie and art-lover's delight with its dining and culture scene that features spots like Island Naturals, a chill café with plant-forward dishes—where the mushroom tacos were everything, and the tuna poke nachos are a must—and upscale spots like Mykonos Steak Club. After eating, stop by Carlos Garcia’s gallery, a working studio and public exhibition space that supports a collective of local and international artists, and regularly hosts events, pop-ups, and live painting.
Pirates Week Festival: This was a welcome surprise addition to our itinerary, and it's an event held in November across the Cayman Islands, with the major events happening in the heart of Grand Cayman's George Town. During the finale, I was out there jumping and whining to Nessa Preppy and Faith Callender, rum in hand, surrounded by locals and pure island joy. As a woman who loves soca, that moment lit me up. It was the perfect last hurrah with a slice of home, culture, and celebration.
Bonny Moon Beach Club: It’s a Tik Tok-famous stylish beachfront lounge experience that, for me, actually matched the good reviews. The octopus ceviche and everything from the woodfired portion of the menu were a hit and the DJ added the right amount of energy. We ate just steps from the ocean. It's swanky, atmospheric, and ideal for date night, girls’ trips, or baecations.
CAYMAN BRAC
Known for dramatic limestone cliffs, caves, and some of the best diving in the Caribbean, the vibe in Cayman Brac is slower, more local, and perfect if you want nature, real island culture, and adventure without the crowds. I took a quick Cayman Airways flight from Grand Cayman and spent two days there.
The visit was honestly one of the most peaceful, soul-nourishing parts of my trip. The moment I landed, the island reeled me in—raw, mysterious, almost cinematic in its quiet beauty. There’s a softness that feels like an alluring secret.

Le Soleil d’Or: This is a farm-focused boutique haven with luxury villas, a restaurant, a pool, and its own beach club. Our villa was huge, complete with a kitchen, living room, laundry space, game room, and the modern luxury master suite of my dreams.
The bathroom had a soaking tub that fit my 5’7"-plus frame, a large shower, and his-and-her sinks. The bedroom had tons of storage, a large comfy bed, and a mini fridge, plus a TV lounge and veranda opening to the pool. Honestly, my suite could’ve been a full studio apartment back home—I was blown away.
The farm-to-table meals, which I could enjoy at the restaurant just steps away from my suite, were rich, fresh, and soulful. My morning walks on the property were serene, wrapped in nothing but nature and quiet.
If you want an escape from the tourist and business buzz of Grand Cayman, this is the perfect hideaway for a baecation, girls trip, or solo venture.

Things To Do & Good Eats
Rock Iguana Yoga: This soothing yoga and therapeutic art experience was set in lush island terrain and was a grounding, earthy immersion that eased my back pain from stress, and was a great quiet time to reflect and release. The instructor was patient, graceful, and welcoming.
Le Soleil D’Or Beach Club: It's a chill open beachfront that offers a peaceful, quiet experience in the off season. Think serene solitude, gentle waves, and open space to unwind—far from the typical beach club scene with loud DJs, pumping music, and high-energy crowds.
Star Island Restaurant: This restaurant reminded me of my favorite local spots in Jamaica where you can get food with spices and tastes like your Caribbean grandma or auntie made the meals with love. The menu includes Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken and Cayman's national dish, stewed turtle.
I’ve been to several islands across the Caribbean—with my tried-and-true all-time favorite being Jamaica—and I must say, if you want that soft-life island-hopping luxury adventure paired with opportunities to connect with a rich arts, music, and culinary scene, a trip to the Cayman Islands is exactly that.
