New Moon of December 20: dare to make a fresh start!

What is a New Moon in astrology?

From an astronomical perspective, the New Moon corresponds to the lunar phase during which the moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun. It's very difficult to observe because it's too close to the Sun. Since its visible side isn't illuminated by the Sun during the day, it becomes invisible when night falls. It's literally a cosmic reset, a blank page opening in the big book of your life. Nature holds its breath, and you should too.

When this celestial meeting occurs in Sagittarius, the sign of the centaur archer, philosopher and eternal optimist, everything changes! We're no longer talking about a simple new beginning, but an epic adventure waiting for you. Sagittarius whispers in your ear: "What if you thought bigger? What if you finally dared?"

Astrological Configuration of December 20: The Planets' Tough Love 💫

Okay, I'm not going to lie to you (that would go against Sagittarian frankness), this New Moon doesn't arrive alone and without baggage...

Venus invites love to the party 💝

Our beautiful Venus is conjunct this New Moon. Translation: your relationships, your desires, your self-esteem are on the negotiating table. It's time to ask yourself THE right questions:

• Does this relationship truly nourish me or drain me?
• Are my desires aligned with who I really am?
• Am I valuing myself at my true worth?

The Saturn-Neptune Square: The frustration-illusion combo 😤

Ouch, I'm not going to hide it from you, Saturn AND Neptune are squaring this New Moon. It's kind of like Father Frost and Tinkerbell arguing above your head. Saturn, that old party-pooper sage, reminds you of your limits, your frustrations, maybe even a recent narcissistic wound. (You know, that moment when you felt not recognized enough...)

Neptune, meanwhile, muddies the waters with its fog. You can't see clearly? Normal. It's part of the program.

Mars Square Neptune: Action in artistic blur mode 🌫️

And to complete this already loaded picture, Mars (your action engine) is also in conflict with Neptune. Result? You want to move but... in exactly which direction? 🤷‍♀️

My astrologer's advice: Breathe. Really. This confusion is temporary and USEFUL. Sometimes, not knowing how to act immediately is a blessing in disguise.

(Ex: the New Moon falls in your natal astrological House 6: your daily routine, your health and your work are directly impacted by these planetary aspects.)

New Moon horoscope of December 20 sign by sign

Everyone is affected by the "New Moon" but the most impacted signs here are Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, or Libra. This New Moon shakes you a bit harder. You're in the front row!

NB: You'll also be more sensitive to this New Moon if your ascendant or your natal Moon is in one of these signs. 👉 What is your ascendant? Calculate it for free.

Aries	The world is calling you! A trip or training seems blocked? This lunation revives your taste for adventure. Loosen your belt a bit (metaphorically), adopt a more zen attitude, and watch your ambitious project restart on better foundations. You tend to rush headfirst, but this time, try "flexibility" mode. It changes everything! 🏃‍♂️
Taurus	Financial introspection on the agenda Before pulling out your credit card or making emotional decisions, take time to examine your finances AND your inner resources. This period favors deep introspection. A financial or emotional situation can restart, but only if you move forward calmly and consciously. No panic-buying, promise? 💰
Gemini	Don't sign anything without thinking! You might be pushed to commit quickly (contract, relationship, important decision), but your natural intelligence is screaming "STOP". Take time to think! This period illuminates your relationships in a new light: a constructive dialogue or an inspiring encounter could emerge, but only if you choose consciously and not hastily. Your intuition is your best ally! 📝
Cancer	Organization, the Key Word It's the ideal time to launch new ideas at work and optimize your daily life, BUT (and that's a big but) without scattering yourself in 36 directions. You know your tendency to take everything on your shoulders? This time, review your organization to find a more sustainable rhythm. Your well-being depends on it! 📅
Leo	Unleash your creativity! Your creativity is at its peak, as long as you don't censor yourself (and we know you love putting pressure on yourself). Same thing with pleasure: stop feeling guilty if you have a good time! You have the right to shine, to create, to have fun. Come on, repeat: "Life is short, I deserve to enjoy it!" 🎨✨
Virgo	Peace and serenity at home In your residential or family projects, you have the opportunity to establish a new dynamic. A move? A renovation? An important conversation with family? Open your mind (I know, for a Virgo, letting go of control is complicated) to welcome necessary changes. More serenity OR more fun, you choose! 🏠
Libra	Dot the i's Regarding a contract, a professional mess, a money problem or a legal file: it's time to shake things up! Move your claims forward. Put things on the table, in black and white. A document or key information can unblock everything. You who hate conflicts, this time, you need to put on the gloves (with elegance, of course)! ⚖️
Scorpio	Security, the new luxury Sit down and identify what truly secures you: budget-wise, but also emotionally. What deeply reassures you? Once you have this clarity, develop concrete plans to reorganize yourself. You're a master of transformation, so transform your relationship with security! 🦂💎
Sagittarius	It's YOUR moment! The New Moon in YOUR sign gives you an incredible boost of energy and enthusiasm! You want to create a better version of yourself? Do even more on all fronts? Go! BUT (little friendly advice), keep confidence without falling into exaggeration. You tend to want everything, right away, too much. This time, aim right. The arrow will hit the target! 🏹🎯
Capricorn	Get out of your comfort zone Regarding your love life (yes, that area you tend to set aside for "pragmatism"), identify obstacles to better overcome them. Get out of your usual routine! Yes, I know, it's uncomfortable. No, the results won't be instant. But now is when you need to sow to harvest in 2026. Trust me! 💕
Aquarius	Delegation, the magic word In your joint projects (with friends, with a community, a team), it's time to roll the dice differently. Make sure everyone participates fairly and that you won't find yourself (again) alone managing everything. You're not the world's savior, even if your humanitarian soul would like to believe it. Redistribute the cards! 🤝
Pisces	New professional stage In your professional activities, a new stage may be announced. Be on the lookout for new paths, an unexpected lead, an evolution possibility. And above all, ABOVE ALL, don't get discouraged in advance! That little voice telling you "I'm not going to make it"? That's Neptune blurring your vision. You're capable of much more than you think! 🐟💫
