December 1: New Moon

We talk about the new moon a lot. But what does a New Moon actually mean? On every new Moon our most beautiful & natural satellite will stay between the Earth & the Sun, so the moon’s brightest side will be facing away from the earth. The result? A sky that feels broader, deeper, and quieter. On a crisp winter night, with stars twinkling unchallenged, the absence of moonlight is its own kind of gift.

This New Moon lands in Sagittarius, a sign of daring dreams and boundless horizons. It’s the perfect moment to chart your next adventure or plant the seeds of your boldest aspirations. Under the Sagittarius New Moon, the possibilities seem endless—just like the stars.

December 14: Geminid Meteor Shower 

We talk about meteor showers often, but what makes the Geminids so special? These meteors, born of an asteroid instead of a comet, blaze through the sky in colorful streaks. On their peak night, you might see dozens—maybe even a hundred—falling like cosmic confetti. Find a dark spot, bundle up against the chill, and let the Geminids paint your December sky. In their fleeting brilliance, there’s a reminder: every streak is a moment, and every moment is worth catching.

December 15: Full Moon

The Full Moon—bright, bold, and unmissable—casts its light across the darkest winter nights. This one, known as the Cold Moon, is a faithful companion to December’s chill. When the snow glistens under its glow, the world feels both frozen and alive, as if nature itself is pausing to admire the Moon’s splendor.

This Full Moon rises in Gemini, a playful and curious sign. It invites us to talk, to connect, and to listen. If there’s something unsaid, now is the time to say it. Under the Gemini Moon, every word has the power to bring warmth, even in the coldest of times.

December 21: Winter Solstice

Shortest day of the year. Cold. How to be inspired when you are huddled in the house? It’s as if the world is holding its breath, waiting for the Sun to turn back toward us. Outside, the air is cold, the days are fleeting, and inspiration can feel distant. But inside? That’s where the warmth is. That’s where the solstice reminds us that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning.

Astrologically, the solstice is marked by the Sun’s entry into Capricorn, a sign that values resilience and ambition. Under Capricorn’s watchful gaze, we’re asked to build—not just dreams, but the foundations to support them. It’s the start of a season where small steps can lead to great heights.

December 22: Ursid Meteor Shower Peak

The Ursids might not be the loudest meteor shower, but they have their charm. These quiet streaks, tracing their origins to a modest comet, light up the December sky with their unassuming grace. They’re like whispers from the cosmos, soft but meaningful, asking you to notice the beauty in what’s often overlooked. In their fleeting arcs, the Ursids remind us that even the smallest lights can guide us home.

December 30: New Moon

Another New Moon, another chance to marvel at the beauty of beginnings. This time, the Moon bows out in Capricorn, leaving the sky wide open for reflection and planning. The dark, moonless night feels like a blank canvas, waiting for your first brushstroke. Capricorn’s influence urges us to think long-term, to build carefully, and to trust in the quiet power of persistence. Under this New Moon, the year ahead feels like fresh snow—untouched and full of possibility.

Conclusion

December’s skies offer more than beauty—they offer meaning. From the soft whispers of meteor showers to the glowing embrace of a Full Moon, every event invites us to look up and look within. Let this month’s celestial wonders inspire your journey into the new year.
