Read on for your December Tarot Forecast

Aries

Card: The Empress

You can sit firmly in your power this month, Aries. The Empress represents a time of abundance, security, and flowing love and compassion. You may be dealing with someone who embodies this energy, perhaps a respected female figure in your life, or you may yourself embody this energy for someone else. The Empress is also a card of creation, whether that means creating art, children, or loving experiences for others, so do not be shy about letting your creative side out to play in December. Show people the love you have for them, and it will flow back to you even more strongly.

Taurus

Card: The Star

Make a wish this month, and see where it leads you. The Star is a wonderful card to receive for the last month of the year, as it shows that you can have a few special and magical moments before 2025 comes to a close. If there are any important projects or personal ambitions you have been nurturing behind the scenes, then this card is a good sign that they could reach a place of positive fruition before the month comes to a close. Likewise, you may begin to nurture new hopes and dreams for the future, Taurus, and they will have a wonderful chance of becoming a reality down the line.

Gemini

Card: King of Swords

Your intellect and authority are your strongest tools in December, Gemini. The King of Swords is a sign that you have earned your right to sit in a position of authority, and have done so by fine-tuning your mental abilities and your powers of analysis. Someone may ask you to play the judge in a particular situation, and you will need to focus on facts, rather than letting your emotions hold sway over the matter. At times this can make you feel like you need to always be the adult in the room, but remember that you are only being called upon because people respect you and trust in your opinion.

Cancer

Card: 5 of Swords

You are walking away from something, or dealing with the aftermath of a difficult situation this month, Cancer.

The 5 of Swords often appears when there has been a confrontation or conflict in your life, and now you are left to pick up the pieces and make the best of the situation that you can. You may have had a harsh argument or there may have been mean words exchanged, and now it is up to you to decide what you are going to do about it. You can walk away in victory, but it seems you will not be able to take all the swords with you as your bounty. Pick and choose your rewards carefully.

Leo

Card: 8 of Swords Reversed

Leo, it is time to regain control of your life. You may feel like you have no options available to you when the 8 of Swords shows up in your reading, but when reversed, you are beginning to see a possible way out of any recent difficulties. You may not be able to go racing off into the future, and can only move slowly at first, but if you look around you will see that things aren’t quite as complicated as they once were, and that freedom and progress are indeed an option once again.

It is time to take steps towards the next phase of your life!

Virgo

Card: 10 of Pentacles

The 10 of Pentacles is always a wonderful sign whenever it shows up in a reading. Lucky you, Virgo!

This card heralds a time of celebration and luxurious comfort, one when you can enjoy all the fruits of your labors, and share the benefits with the important people in your life.

This is an especially lovely card to receive at the end of the year, as it promises a lovely holiday season with plenty of good times to look forward to. Remember, however, that you have your own bounty to share, so don’t just expect to enjoy other’s bounty, but to share yours with the world, too.

Libra

Card: King of Wands

Embrace your power this month, Libra!

The King of Wands is a call for you to stand firm on business and to embrace your own sense of courage and authority. This does not mean you will need to defend your position this month, as you have already been through your personal battles and earned your right to sit upon your throne, but you should trust in your ability to act as a leader and show others a way forward.

Trust in your own creative vision and your ambitions, because this card is a wonderful sign that you are on the right path, and that you have nearly reached your own personal finish line.

Scorpio

Card: Knight of Swords

You are ready to charge into the fray this month, Scorpio, so this is certainly no time to play the wallflower! The Knight of Swords often means you are engaging in an important project of some kind, one where you need to put your ideas and your words on the line, and back them up to the best of your ability.

This knight can be a little rash in its action, so it is important to think before you speak or act, as you might wind up regretting any flippant moments. Still, if you wield your power sensibly and wisely, you could have quite a bit to show for your efforts before December comes to an end.

Sagittarius

Card: The Emperor Reversed

Beware the authority figures in your life this month, Sagittarius. When the Emperor appears right side up it generally means you are dealing with someone competent and capable who knows what they are about, but that is not the case when this card is reversed. You may be dealing with a superior or supervisor who thinks they know best, only for that not to be the case, or someone who mishandles their authority and is willing to abuse their power. You must be especially careful that this does not become you in December, Sag! Either way, try to create as much space between you and this energy as possible.

Capricorn

Card: 4 of Wands

You have a wonderful month ahead of you, Capricorn, when the 4 of Wands appears in your reading! This is a sign that you have something to celebrate in December. Perhaps you have achieved something impressive, or gotten through a very difficult time and are now on the other side.

No matter the case, the 4 of Wands means it is time to raise your glasses and live life to the fullest. This is the kind of joy and positivity you will want to share with others, and they will want to share with you, so there has rarely been a better time to round up the gang and let the good times roll!

Aquarius

Card: Wheel of Fortune

There is a major change in store for you this month, Aquarius.

The Wheel of Fortune points to fated changes and developments, some you may have seen coming from miles away, others that may seem to come from right out of the blue. These changes are likely to be positive, and could feel like you are stepping into a whole new reality, but it is important to remember that these events are not random. If you have done good in the past, then this good will come back to you this month, but if you have caused strife, then that too can return to you.

Overall, it is time to reap what you have sown this year.

Pisces

Card: 2 of Cups

This is a month for connecting and celebrating the partnerships in your life, Pisces.

The 2 of Cups points to a union of hearts and minds, one where both people will be giving their all to the relationship. Although this can indeed point to romantic connections, this card can also signal that positive professional partnerships or even close platonic ones will feature heavily in the month ahead.

Whether you are looking for love, money, or just fun times, December is a month to double-up in pursuit of your goals, and you can be sure your chosen partner will be beside you the whole way. What a lovely way to close out the year!
