What it means

December 2027 has no eclipse and no supermoon, so the month is shaped by its sign changes and its closing void-of-course stretch. That stretch, 18.2 hours in Aquarius, begins on New Year's Eve morning and runs into January.

The month's longest void-of-course period starts on December 31 at 9:41 AM EST and lasts 18.2 hours, ending at 3:52 AM EST on January 1 as the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces. Its last aspect is a Moon sextile Saturn. If you plan to mark the year's end, expect the hours before midnight to suit winding down and looking back better than launching something.

The First Quarter Moon arrives in Pisces at 13°51′ on December 6, at 12:22 AM EST, which is still the evening of December 5 on the Pacific coast. Pisces puts feeling ahead of reasoning, so a decision made now may need a second look once the mood settles. The Moon sits 402,428 km away, the farthest of the four phases.

On December 13 at 11:09 AM EST the Full Moon lands at 21°25′ Gemini, 368,131 km away and the closest of the month. Gemini is the sign of talk, errands and paperwork, so the pressure point is probably the pile of loose ends and the many voices behind them. This is a fair moment to decide which of your two competing options you will actually follow.

The Last Quarter Moon falls at 28°14′ Virgo on December 20 at 4:11 AM EST, a late degree in the sign. Virgo rewards memory, learning and attention to supplies and routines. Just 3 hours later, at 7:13 AM EST, the Moon moves into Libra, so the review mood gives way quickly to a more social, partnership-minded stretch.

The New Moon comes at 5°50′ Capricorn on December 27 at 3:12 PM EST. The Moon entered Capricorn only that morning at 3:50 AM EST, so the lunation is barely into the sign. Capricorn carries ambition and caution about resources, and it can bring a public side with some cost attached. It makes sense as a time to sketch what you want to build in the year ahead, with patience as the main ingredient.
