By the Lotus & Stars team · 1 November 2026 · Updated 7 November 2026

December 2026 is a gains-then-rest month for Capricorn Moon and Capricorn rising, and a big turning point. Until 15 December the Sun sits in your 11th house of gains, and the New Moon on 8 December falls there too.
This month at a glance
- 1 to 15 December: gains, wishes and friends, with the Sun in your 11th house (your best stretch)
- 8 December: New Moon in your 11th house (also good)
- Go gently: Mars and Jupiter sit in your 8th house all month.
- Key date, 5 December, 12:03 pm US Eastern: Rahu and Ketu change signs, for about 18 months
Saturn, your own planet, turns direct in your 3rd house on 10 December, so effort pays off again. On 5 December Rahu moves onto your Moon, starting an 18-month chapter of ambition and reinvention.
