Horoscope for December 2025 and January 2026: the Months of the Pig, Rat and Ox
As a new season begins in each hemisphere, lunar energies orchestrate a cycle of inner transformation. The Fire Pig opens this monthly sequence with a surge of sensations: sensuality, indulgence, but also emotional turbulence. The Earth Rat then takes over, with its strategic precision, pragmatic instinct, and clever discretion. Finally, the Earth Ox brings the cycle to a close with a quiet strength, laying the foundations for the coming year in silence and endurance.

Beyond the climatic realities specific to each part of the world, the combined influences of Fire, Earth, and Water bring maturity, grounding, and introspection. In the professional sphere, major decisions are made, structures are reshaped, and plans are laid. In love, dynamics vary: intense passion may arise where least expected, while some unions will be tested by the wear and tear of daily life. This is a time for choices of both heart and reason.
Career, Money and Studies
The Fire Pig shines a spotlight on financial appetites and desires for rapid success. However, caution is advised regarding impulsive investments or offers that seem too good to be true. Professions related to food, wellness or aesthetics may enjoy a temporary boost.
With the Earth Rat, business matters take on a more concrete tone. It is an ideal period to review financial accounts, rethink a business model, or resume training. Those who work behind the scenes, planning long-term, will be rewarded. The Earth Ox, at the very end of the period, calls for solid construction. This is no longer the time to test, but to implement. Patience, method and consistency become the foundations of lasting success.
Love, Family and Friendship
In love, the month of the Pig ignites the senses but unsettles emotions. Attachments form quickly, but tensions also rise easily. Jealousy issues or frustrations due to lack of depth may surface. Yet sincere bonds are possible, provided that communication remains honest.
With the Earth Rat, relationships become more discreet but no less profound. It is a moment for intimacy, sharing common plans, or discussing the future. The month of the Ox promotes stability. Strong couples grow even stronger, and long-standing friendships come back to life. For single people, the most meaningful encounters may arise in simple, authentic environments.
Health and Luck
The Fire Pig sometimes encourages excess. Whether you need warmth or lightness depending on your local season, take care of your internal rhythms. A healthy lifestyle (moderate eating, conscious breathing, moments of rest) helps navigate energetic fluctuations. Depending on your climate, favor natural herbal teas, soothing baths or meditative walks.
The Rat, more reasonable, encourages caring for both mind and body. Organization, well-chosen routines and quiet time are its key tools. The Ox strengthens the body’s defense systems. It is a favorable moment to begin a new wellness practice or reinforce an existing discipline. Luck, meanwhile, smiles upon those who keep their feet on the ground while remaining attentive to signs and synchronicities.

Monthly horoscope for the 12 Chinese zodiac signs from December 2025 to January 2026

Rat Horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monthly Rat Rating: 6 / 10The Month of the Pig (until December 19) invites the Rat to slow down and recentre on essential foundations, without seeking to control everything. The first part of the month promotes introspection and personal adjustments. From December 20 onward, with the Month of the Rat, the energy shifts in its favour: sharp-minded and strategic, the Rat regains mental agility and sets solid stepping stones for 2026. Excessive caution should be avoided, as it may restrain ambitions. The transition into the Month of the Ox (starting January 19) confirms this constructive movement: a professional or emotional commitment may take root long-term if approached with patience and discipline.

Ox Horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monthly Ox Rating: 7 / 10The end of the year unfolds with mixed tones. During the Month of the Pig, the Ox prefers to stay in the background, taking time to reassess priorities. Human relationships take unexpected importance, sometimes bringing brief tensions. The last ten days of December, under the influence of the Rat, encourage the Ox to structure plans and define a clear vision for the months ahead. But it is especially from January 19, with the Month of the Ox, that everything aligns. The Ox finds a favourable ground for its strengths: organisation, calm, perseverance. This final breath of January allows a peaceful transition into a new stage.

Tiger Horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monthly Tiger Rating: 6 / 10The Month of the Pig brings promises of openness. Until December 19, the Tiger feels stimulated socially, emotionally and creatively. Boldness rises again, new connections form, and innovative ideas emerge freely. But this warmth wanes slightly after December 20 when the Month of the Rat begins. More restrained and rigid, this climate requires the Tiger to adapt without forcing anything. It is a period that demands channelled energy, especially professionally. Fortunately, late January under the influence of the Ox helps the Tiger to refocus and end the cycle on a calmer note.

Rabbit Horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monthly Rabbit Rating: 7 / 10Until December 19, under the influence of the Pig, the Rabbit enjoys a gentle, protective atmosphere. Family or friendly relationships strengthen, and love takes on a tender shade. However, from December 20, the Month of the Rat may unsettle the Rabbit: too many expectations, mental demands and imposed rhythms. Calm spaces will be essential, as well as reconnection to nature or wellness rituals. At the very end of the period, with the Month of the Ox, balance returns. This is the right moment to redefine boundaries and lay the foundations for a healthier routine.

Dragon Horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monthly Dragon Rating: 6 / 10The Month of the Pig (until December 19) offers the Dragon a mostly serene climate, although emotional priorities may temporarily overshadow ambitions. More conciliatory than usual, the Dragon sees positive results in social interactions. The dynamic changes from December 20 onward, with the Month of the Rat: the Dragon regains intellectual momentum and a light competitive spirit, which may irritate some around them. Clarity is an advantage, especially professionally. At the end of the period, from January 19, the Month of the Ox sets the tone: less improvisation, more discipline. If the Dragon accepts to slow down, January ends with a regained sense of mastery.

Snake Horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monthly Snake Rating: 7 / 10For the Snake, this cycle is a true sensory journey. During the first part of December, under the Pig, the atmosphere is electric: powerful attractions, quick misunderstandings, heightened sensitivity. On the emotional level, hidden truths surface. Professionally, impulsive decisions should be avoided. The arrival of the Rat from December 20 sharpens the Snake’s clarity and strategic mind. Finally, the Month of the Ox (from January 19) solidifies support: a reliable partner, a loyal colleague or financial stability helps the Snake regain momentum. A contrasting yet constructive period.

Horse horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Horse monthly rating: 6 / 10The Horse feels rather free during the Month of the Pig (until December 19), regaining a sincere spontaneity in daily life. Warm moments, impromptu outings, or a renewed drive for personal projects mark this time. After December 20, the Month of the Rat brings a more structured atmosphere, which may feel constraining. The Horse might feel held back or scrutinized. Fortunately, the last ten days of January, under the Month of the Ox, simplify relationships and encourage clear priorities. A great time to finish what has been started and restore a calmer pace.

Goat horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Goat monthly rating: 7 / 10Until December 19, the Month of the Pig is a soothing balm for the Goat. Emotions stabilize, relationships soften, and inspiration flourishes. She moves gently, reconnecting with her creative energy. From December 20, the Month of the Rat demands more pragmatism: unexpected family responsibilities, financial decisions, or social boundary setting. In late January, under the Ox influence, she must avoid comparing herself to others. A time to consolidate foundations, requiring patience and self-trust.

Monkey horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Monkey monthly rating: 6 / 10The Monkey plays his part with flexibility. The first half of December, under the Pig's influence, is ideal for diplomacy and fresh ideas. He navigates surprises with ease. But from December 20, the Month of the Rat awakens his analytical mind: financial planning, professional reevaluation, and more calculations. It’s stimulating but tiring. The end of January, under the Ox, brings a slower, minimalist vibe. Perfect for decluttering, simplifying, or postponing unworthy tasks.

Rooster horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Rooster monthly rating: 8 / 10The Rooster feels in his element during the first part of December, under the Pig's energy that gives space to shine without pressure. His charm works, organization inspires, and decisions are well received. After December 20, the Month of the Rat intensifies his attention to detail (sometimes too much). He may become demanding, especially in work relationships. Late January, under the Ox, helps build solid foundations. A major project could begin during this period.

Dog horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Dog monthly rating: 7 / 10During the Month of the Pig (until December 19), the Dog finds a warmer atmosphere, ideal for reconciliation and heartfelt exchanges. He feels heard, understood, supported. From December 20, the Month of the Rat asks for more structured commitments and clarified intentions, especially in love. Important discussions may arise. During the Ox Month, in late January, emotional stability increases. Efforts from late December start to pay off.

Pig horoscope December 2025 and January 2026
Pig monthly rating: 5 / 10The beginning of the month offers a brief moment of softness for the Pig, as the Month of the Pig mirrors his nature and soothes his doubts. But this respite is short-lived. From December 20, under the Month of the Rat, he may feel judged, rushed, or unsettled. The atmosphere grows colder and faster, making it hard to follow emotionally. It’s essential to rest, say no, and protect personal space. Finally, under the Ox Month at the end of January, the climate stabilizes. He finds concrete support and rediscovers inner security.
