December in the Southern Hemisphere belongs to light. Days stretch long, school years close, families gather and summer takes the stage. This lunar cycle asks a spacious question: what makes life feel larger?
Third Quarter Moon
December begins with release, useful in a month that can become overfilled. Decide what you do not need to carry into the festive season. You are allowed to simplify celebration.
New Moon in Sagittarius
Sagittarius looks toward the horizon: learning, travel, belief, meaning and possibility. Instead of asking what you should get done, ask what kind of life you want to experience.
First Quarter Moon
Choose one desire from your New Moon intentions and give it earthly form. Research it, budget for it, book it, write the first page or put a date beside it.
Southern Summer Solstice
This is our great turning toward summer and the longest day of the Southern Hemisphere year. Our solstice belongs to light, heat, ripening, visibility and life lived outdoors. Celebrate simply by noticing the late light.
Full Moon in Cancer
Just days after the summer solstice, the Moon becomes full in Cancer. Home, family, care, memory and belonging come into focus. Family can contain warmth and complexity at once. Let this Moon redefine home in a way that is true for you.
Third Quarter Moon
The Moon offers one final release before 2027. Make two lists: what 2026 gave me, and what I will not carry into 2027. Keep the first. Tear up the second if you want to. Then go outside and find the Moon.
