December 2025 Leo Horoscope: Radiant Resilience in a Sea of Change

Overview

December 2025 asks the Leo Sun to trade the spotlight for a quiet hearth. All month Jupiter retrogrades through Cancer, turning your usually outward roar into a gentle purr. Instead of chasing applause you are invited to guard memories, edit the family album, and let nostalgia refill the pride’s fuel tank. On 11 December Neptune ends its retrograde in Pisces; the same day a subtle triangle between Saturn, Uranus and Neptune shows you that real royalty sometimes wears an invisibility cloak. By the 31 December—when the Sun and Mars meet in Capricorn while Jupiter finally stations direct—you step back onto the stage with leaner routines, sharper craft, and a glow that needs no spotlight.

Career & Craft

Between 15-17 December the Sun in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces, pinging your joy-to-work pipeline. A creative brief feels heavier, or a budget cut demands you do more with less. Notice the water grand-trine of 1, 4, 7 and 10 December: Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn keep whispering “systematise the magic.” Use those windows to template your brilliance—turn the spontaneous into the repeatable. After the 22 December solstice the Sun enters Capricorn and immediately teams with Mars (exact 31 Dec). The final week is pure Leo efficiency: you reprioritise, automate, and finish the year with a portfolio that quietly outshines every firework.

Love & Lustre

Venus spends most of the month in Sagittarius, trining Neptune on 1 December and conjoining the Sun on 25, 28 and 31 December. Your affections want wide horizons—last-minute winter trips, candid photos, lovers who double as adventure buddies. Yet Venus also squares Saturn on 22 December: a promise may be tested. Single Leo? The Gemini Full Moon of 4-5 December highlights your friendship zone; a witty DM could ignite under the mistletoe. Partnered Leo? Co-create a 2026 vision board on the 20 December Sagittarius New Moon—shared dreams beat shared Netflix queues.

Body & Vitality

Mars barrels into Capricorn on 15 December and immediately clashes with Saturn (7 & 10 Dec) then Neptune (13 & 16 Dec). Your engine runs hot but the road feels foggy. Schedule micro-workouts between video calls, swap mulled wine for ginger tea, and keep magnesium handy for calf cramps. The Capricorn Sun from the 22nd loves discipline: a 30-day squat challenge or standing-desk upgrade fits the cosmic brief. End the year moving like the lion you are—strong, supple, and ready to pounce into 2026.

Money & Assets

Neptune’s direct turn on 11 December un-mists a joint-account question; a partner’s income or a royalty statement finally clarifies. The repeating Jupiter-Saturn trines (1, 4, 7, 10 Dec) favour long-range, low-risk moves—refinancing, index funds, or converting a hobby into a subscription service. Resist impulse splurges during the Venus-Uranus opposition of 1 December; instead, funnel that adrenaline into researching a side-hustle that lets you shine after hours.

Spirit & Shadow

With Jupiter retrograde in Cancer all month, the throne moves inside. Journal by candlelight, record your dreams, forgive a parent, bless the child you once were. When the Sun meets Neptune in a square on 19 & 22 December you may feel briefly invisible—stay with it. The 31 December Sun-Mars conjunction in Capricorn hands you a craftsman’s chisel: turn every private insight into public mastery. Leave 2025 not just louder, but deeper.
