Astro: what are the lunar phases to remember in December 2024?

New Moon in Sagittarius: Sunday, December 1 at 7:21 a.m.

A new lunar cycle begins on the first day of the month. What luck! This means we are entering the final 31 days of 2024 with renewed energy and ready to take on the world. This lunation in Sagittarius, an adventurous and spontaneous sign, will stimulate your desire to explore, discover and open yourself to the unknown. It is a great time to plan trips, attracted by new horizons. Ultimately, the month is starting off auspiciously!

First Quarter in Pisces: Sunday, December 8 at 4:26 p.m.

During this second week of the month, new challenges will present themselves, and under the sign of Pisces, you will have to mobilize all your intuition and sensitivity to tackle them. Combine this intuitive energy with the practical aspect conferred by the Moon in the First Quarter (or Crescent Quarter) phase to move forward with your projects. However, be careful of daydreaming, be pragmatic above all!

Full Moon in Gemini: Sunday, December 15 at 10:01 a.m.

The “Cold Moon,” as Americans also call it, arrives mid-month to invite you to slow down and digest the abundance of information that the end of the year brings. This lunation in Gemini will make you particularly talkative and thoughtful. Be careful though, because even if Mercury becomes direct again that day, its post-retrograde shadow will still be felt. Indeed, this Full Moon encourages you to communicate with yourself first, by writing, meditating or thinking deeply. This will also be a good time to strengthen bonds with your siblings or neighbors, and to plan small trips, such as weekend getaways. Enjoy!

Last Quarter in Virgo: Sunday, December 22 at 11:18 p.m.

After the Full Moon, the energy gradually decreases with the Waning Quarter. The influence of the Moon becomes more discreet, and you may feel great sensitivity. This is an ideal time to take stock, analyze your situation and seek personal and intimate balance. This lunar phase occurs under the sign of Virgo, prompting you to pay close attention to your health, your routines, and anything that might disrupt your well-being. Although the holiday season is approaching, avoid unnecessary excesses and take care of yourself.

New Moon in Capricorn: Monday, December 30 at 11:26 p.m.

Surprise ! The year could not end with better energy than that of a new cycle beginning. Indeed, the month of December 2024 has two New Moons, offering the opportunity to approach 2025 with renewed energy and confidence in the future. Under the sign of Capricorn, this New Moon will push you to conclude the year by having everything completed, organized and structured. Enjoy this vibration naturally inspired by the night star. And happy new year 2025 to come!
