♏︎ SCORPIO · DECEMBER 2026
Scorpio Horoscope December 2026
By Dima Tretyak · Updated October 23, 2026 · Times calculated, not copied · For self-reflection, not prediction
December 2026 puts Scorpio's own sign in the spotlight early, then moves attention to money, values and daily routines. Saturn and Neptune both turn direct in your 6th house, which changes the feel of work and habits.
The month opens on December 4 with three events. Venus enters Scorpio, your 1st house, at 3:14 AM EST (12:14 AM PST), which brings warmth and attraction to how you present yourself. The same morning Mercury squares Jupiter at 2:02 AM EST, linking your 1st and 10th houses. Friction between what you say and how your public standing looks is possible, so a good month to check your tone before pressing send. That afternoon Mars, your ruler, squares Uranus at 2:27 PM EST, tying your 11th house of friends to your 8th house of intimacy. Plans with groups may shift suddenly.
December 9 is the sharpest day. Venus squares Pluto at 1:38 PM EST (10:38 AM PST), touching your 1st and 4th houses. Both planets matter to you, since Pluto is your modern ruler, so feelings about home, family or roots may run strong. That morning Mercury squares Mars, which can make conversations about money and values blunt. Before that, Mercury sextile Pluto on December 8 offers an easier opening to talk through what you value, and the New Moon at 16°57′ Sagittarius that evening, 7:52 PM EST, is a quiet place to set intentions about income and self-worth in your 2nd house.
December 12 stacks three events. Venus sextile Mars at 4:15 AM EST connects your 1st and 11th houses and eases the earlier friction, a decent window for friendships and shared hopes. Neptune turns direct at 1°36′ Aries in your 6th house at 5:13 PM EST, after Saturn did the same on December 10 at 7°55′ Aries. Matters of daily work and health habits that felt stalled or foggy may start to move forward again. Jupiter turns retrograde that night at 27°01′ Leo in your 10th house, so review career goals rather than launching new ones.
The last stretch is lighter. The Full Moon on December 23 at 2°14′ Cancer, your 9th house, shows results around beliefs, study or travel plans. On December 31 the Sun and Mercury both trine Mars, your ruler, from your 3rd house to your 11th. That is a supportive way to end the year for conversations with friends and a good time to plan with drive.

The 8th house has Uranus retrograde, so sudden shifts in closeness are possible. Keep your pride in check.

Mercury square Mars on December 9 can make exchanges sharp, so keep wording plain. Mercury trine Jupiter on December 23 helps ideas land.
