♍︎ VIRGO · DECEMBER 2026
Virgo Horoscope December 2026
By Dima Tretyak · Updated October 23, 2026 · Times calculated, not copied · For self-reflection, not prediction
December asks Virgo to look at home and roots while Mars in your 1st house keeps your own drive close to the surface. The month closes with a clean, supportive link between Mercury and Mars.
The month opens with a Last Quarter Moon at 9°03′ Virgo in your 1st house on December 1 at 1:09 AM EST (10:09 PM PST on Nov 30). It suits a review of habits and how you start things. Three days later, on December 4 at 2:27 PM EST, Mars in your 1st house squares Uranus in your 10th house. Expect friction between your personal drive and your public role, with a pull to break routine at work. Pausing before a sharp reply is a sensible use of that edge.
Your ruler Mercury is the busiest body this month. It enters Sagittarius and your 4th house on December 6 at 3:33 AM EST, and the Sun is there too. On December 8 Mercury opposes Uranus (5:29 AM EST) and sextiles Pluto (2:32 PM EST), then a New Moon at 16°57′ Sagittarius lands in your 4th house at 7:52 PM EST. That is a quiet starting point for home, family and roots: a conversation you have put off, a space you want to reorganize, a fresh intention about where you belong. On December 9 at 8:41 AM EST, Mercury squares Mars, so talk at home may come out blunt. Mind your tone.
Saturn turns direct at 7°55′ Aries in your 8th house on December 10 at 6:23 PM EST, and Neptune follows on December 12 at 5:13 PM EST. Mercury trines Saturn on December 11. Matters of intimacy, shared obligations and fear or loss that felt stalled may begin to move, with more clarity. On December 12 at 4:15 AM EST, Venus in your 3rd house sextiles Mars, an easy opening for warm, direct conversation if you take it. Jupiter also turns retrograde in your 12th house that evening, a cue to rest and review private matters rather than launch them.
Late in the month your attention shifts to your 5th house. Mercury trines Jupiter on December 23 at 1:03 PM EST. Mercury enters Capricorn on December 25, and then squares Neptune on December 26 and Saturn on December 30, so plans may blur or meet limits. On December 31, the Sun trines Mars at 7:02 AM EST and Mercury trines Mars at 6:30 PM EST. That is a steady, practical end to the year, good for turning ideas into action in romance, play and creative work.
Virgo love horoscope
Romance gets its clearest window late in the month. Venus sextiles Mars on December 12 at 4:15 AM EST, an easy opening for honest, direct talk with someone close. On December 9, Mercury squares Mars in your 1st house, so words may land harder than you intend. The 8th house holds Saturn and Neptune, and both turn direct, so deeper intimacy may feel less stuck. On December 31, the Sun and Mercury both trine Mars from your 5th house, a good moment for warmth and play.
Virgo work horoscope
The December 4 square between Mars in your 1st house and Uranus in your 10th house at 2:27 PM EST may stir restlessness about your role or a boss's changing plans. Channel it into one concrete change rather than a dramatic one. Pluto in your 6th house stays in the background of daily duties, and Mercury's sextile to it on December 8 supports careful rethinking of routines. Mercury trines Saturn on December 11, a steady day for planning and structure. On December 30, Mercury squares Saturn, so expect delays or limits. December 31 brings Mercury trine Mars, good for finishing tasks.
