December Panchang and Festivals

So, the last month of 2025 is here! Like every year, 2025 also passed away in a whiff!

December 2025 sees Jupiter entering back into Gemini in retrograde motion on 5th December. Jupiter enjoyed a brief sojourn of being exalted in Cancer and now it will get into Cancer only in June 2026.

Sun moves to Sagittarius just as  Mars, Venus and Mercury also do in this month. So Sagittarius sign will host the very energetic Sun and Mars along with the planet of love and luxury Venus and the planet of creativity and intelligence – Mercury. Remember Sagittarius is also getting the 10th aspect of Saturn from Pisces. A lot of diverse energies are thus going to be involved with Sagittarius sign in the end of December 2025. One also important thing to note is that both Mars and Venus will be combust due to their proximity with Sun!

Mercury moves through Scorpio ( 6th December)  and Sagittarius signs in the month of December. Mars moves from its own sign Scorpio to Jupiter ruled Sagittarius on December 7. Sun enters Sagittarius on 16th, Venus on December 19 and Mercury on December 28th. So the end of 2025 will see 4 major luminaries sitting together perhaps to party in 2026!
