Confirmed planetary movements in December 2026
Saturn turns direct in Aries on December 10, fully releasing the review phase that began in July. Neptune turns direct in Aries on December 12, ending its retrograde review. Jupiter (Western/tropical) turns retrograde in Leo on December 12, beginning a review cycle that runs into April 2027.
What this means in general
When a personal planet (Mercury, Venus, Mars) turns retrograde, the effects are felt widely but pass relatively quickly — a few weeks of review before normal momentum resumes. When a slow planet (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) changes sign or direction, the effect is more structural and long-lasting, often marking a shift that plays out over months or years.
Why a generic monthly horoscope isn't enough
A transit through Aries means something different to someone with Aries rising than to someone with Aries in their 8th house. The dates above are real and apply to everyone equally — but the personal impact requires your actual chart. That's the difference between a newspaper horoscope and a real transit reading.
