Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope
Words: Maraschino
Wow. Welcome to the grand finale of 2025. This will be another major month, with more revelations, reality checks, and wake up calls, sure to make for spicy and stimulating conversation at the holiday functions.
The Sun in Sagittarius will bring the party until December 21st. There may be a few sinkholes at said party thanks to Saturn squares with multiple Sadge placements throughout the month, but if you know where to hang, you’ll have a good time. The full moon in Gemini on the 4th will be spritely and fun, and bring something you initiated back in May to a successful conclusion. When Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer smooch on the 6th, it’s a perfect moment to tell someone you love just how much they mean to you, play the lottery, or make something beautiful. Whatever you do, you’ll be lucky.
Neptune stations direct in Pisces on December 10th, casting a few more spells before it heads into Aries next year. We love an exalted Mars in Capricorn for efficiency, productivity and stoic strength, and it’s lovely to see Mercury out of shadow mid-month. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th invites you to chart a course towards your truest North. When the Sun and Venus move into Capricorn on the 21st and 24th, the vibe shifts to a more calm, cool, and collected elegance, bringing a grounded close to an unfathomably bonkers year.

Advice from the Tarot: Knight of Swords
Nothing but the truth
Hi Aries. Meditate on the dreams you want to realise before Neptune and Saturn head into your skies early next year. There’s still time to refine and redefine the vision. Pivot if your heart’s not in it. When you’re truly aligned, time becomes irrelevant. Patience is a friend that will always do you proud. Your power is limitless when it’s in service to higher truths. The New Moon will deliver opportunities for deep dives. A lucky break will warm your heart and light the way forward.

Choose the ones who choose you
Hi Taurus. Who can you trust when it’s all said and done? Your friends could be a source of conflict or comfort depending on who you’re walking alongside. Part of growing up is knowing when the party’s over, and saying good night before the doors fall off the hinges. It’s not always fun, but you’ll see who you’re meant to see again when the time is right. Love letters and soulmates will melt your heart, reminding you of all the sweetness that remains. Quiet escapes to distant horizons will bring you back home to yourself.

Know Thyself
Hey Gemini. The full moon will have you deep in your feelings and exploring every aspect of your selfhood. You’re shedding old skin and slipping into something more “you”. The more you seek, the more you find, the more you understand your power and what to do with it. Your collaborative efforts will bring good fortune and a sense of home wherever you find yourself. You have everything you need to attract opportunities that glow, and serendipity has a gift for you too. Every moment is a chance to create something that inspires the next. If it makes you feel lighter, brighter, and more free, you’re on the money.
Advice from the Tarot: Knight of Wands
Travel Light
Hi Cancer. Your homework this month is to breathe, breathe, and breathe some more. Pause, reflect, and reacquaint yourself with who you are and what you love most. It’ll make it a lot easier to prioritise the deluge of tasks you’re trying to wrap up before the year ends. Shadows from your past may test you, but you’ve come a long way since then. The more you focus on what makes you happy, the more you’ll attract circumstances that mirror your inner light. Good news is on its way to you. Something special you hoped would come around again.
Advice from the Tarot: The Sun
Stay Gold
Hi Leo. When you allow your gifts to truly shine, not merely to be seen but to be shared and experienced, you inspire the rest of us to follow suit. Seek out the connections, places, and situations that bring forth the best you have to offer. If it feels like home, you’re on the right track. If it feels like a void, cut, run and don’t look back. What’s not being said is just as important as what comes to the surface. Nurture what you love most and watch it bloom into something utterly magical over the next six months.
Advice from the Tarot: Knight of Pentacles
One day at a time
Hey Virgo. A great truth is coming to light. You’re writing your own fairytale, and editing out whatever doesn’t suit the narrative. It’s all for the love of it, even if it tugs at your heartstrings. With so much happening behind the scenes, tuning into your emotional world is essential. The more you give to yourself, the more you’ll be able to give of yourself. Find your light, and let it soak in. Meant-to-be opportunities will be waiting for you when you’re ready.

All is fair…
Hi Libra. Your enthusiasm is contagious, opening doors that elevate your standing in the world. Your words will shape your reality in astounding ways. This surge could feel exciting, but you may feel squeezed by the expectations that come with the new terrain. While it’s anyone’s guess how long anything will last these days, making the best of every moment will set the stage for a sweeter one. Let people show you who they are when they think you aren’t looking. Trust that everything is playing out in your favour and watch the chips fall accordingly. Love will sneak up on you when you least expect it.

Keep it 100
Hey Scorpio. With Mars in your second house until the 15th, this will be a good month for your bank account, although you may have to work a little harder than usual to hang onto your gains. Many of your interactions, both personal and professional, will have you asking “does this truly make me happy?” and “is this worth the investment?” If the answer is maybe, it’s probably no. Your intuition will be in top form, so follow the prompts for best results. Growth and good fortune come easily when you speak and live your truth faithfully.

It’s all happening
Happy birthday, sweet Sadge. While there may be a little bit of last month’s storms spilling over into this one, expect positive shifts and miraculous solutions to appear right on cue. A breath of fresh air that lifts you up and gifts you with a renewed sense of vitality and purpose. Focus on the outcomes you want to achieve and take up the space you need to realise them. Your shine might be a little bright for the sideline critics, but the real ones will show up for the glow-up.
Advice from the Tarot: Queen of Wands
Easy breezy
Happy birthday, Capricorn. You’ll have plenty to celebrate this month, with loved ones and colleagues alike. The opportunity to heal misunderstandings with friends and family will be yours too. Situations that have felt stuck or confusing for a while will begin to budge. Everything gets a little easier when you’re easier on yourself. Meditate outside, or take a day trip to a mountain or the ocean. Allow yourself to experience the relief a day off, or ten, has to offer. Giving yourself this time will clarify what and who you can truly give to when you return.

Everything & more
Hi Aquarius. This month will be one for the books. Your standing in the world will receive a huge boost, even if it isn’t obvious right away. You’re building the life you’ve always wanted, against all odds. If it fell through, it wasn’t for you. Travel will bring blessings that light up your heart and inspire new dreams to emerge. Cloud nine is fine, but keep at least one foot planted and remember to care for your earthy shell. Bubble baths, massages, and rest will do you good. Candlelit evenings with a pen and paper, or a paintbrush, or a synth will too.
Advice from the Tarot: Page of Cups
Someone up there loves you
Hey Pisces. Good news is coming your way this month, but it will require patience. Perhaps more so after you receive it. In some ways it confirms what you’ve known all along, but it’s always nice to see it on paper, so to speak. Your unwavering commitment to higher love and truth will always be your best feature, even and perhaps especially when it sets you apart. Beauty is a form of genius that requires no explanation, after all. Pay attention to your dreams and let them reveal any secrets you’re still hiding from yourself.
