Monthly interpretation for December 2026
December 2026 opens with a Last Quarter Moon in Virgo; the New Moon falls in Sagittarius on December 9, 2026, and the Full Moon lands in Cancer on December 24, 2026, and the month closes with a Last Quarter Moon in Libra. Sagittarius sets the tone for intentions: needs a horizon; restlessness is a request for meaning, not for escape. The Cancer Full Moon is where things become visible: turns the volume up on memory, home, and who feels like family. Use the waxing half for building and the waning half for release, then check how each window touches your own chart.
How to use this Moon calendar
Use the daily rows as timing, not command. New Moon days are better for intention, first-quarter days for choice, Full Moon days for visibility, and waning days for release. The personal meaning changes when the Moon touches your own chart.
