Witchmarked Tarotscopes | December 2025

December walks in wearing the crown of the King of Wands, a fire-born sovereign with smoke on his breath, vision in his eyes, and unfinished business in his clenched fist. This month burns with the energy of a leader who knows exactly what needs to be done but still feels the weight of every path not taken, every idea not yet born, every ghost of potential pacing behind him. Fire meets fire, and persistence meets purpose.

The Full Moon in Gemini cracks open your mind early in the month, demanding clarity, truth, and communication, whether you’re ready for the conversation or not. Then the New Moon in Sagittarius arrives like a torch to dry old tears and ignite your next chapter. This is not a month of subtle magic. It’s a month of calling your power back, dragging old patterns into the light, and choosing your future with intention rather than accident.

Expect revelations. Expect the past to speak. Expect yourself to rise like you mean it.

HOW TO USE THESE WITCHMARKED TAROTSCOPEs

These Witchmarked Tarotscopes are written for your Rising Sign, because the Moon moves through your actual lived landscape, body, home, career, relationships, through the houses of your chart. But if your Sun or Moon sign hits harder, use them too. I’m not grading you.

Each sign blends three currents:

  • Tarot to reveal the story,

  • Moon Phases to set the timing,

  • and Witchcraft to anchor the work in something real you can actually do.

Take what cuts through the noise, leave what doesn’t, and trust that what speaks to you is speaking for a reason.

  • no interpretation here, just the cards!

Your WITCHMARKED TAROTSCOPE

| ALL 12 SIGNS

  • Card: The High Priestess Rx

    “When your intuition whispers and you pretend you didn’t hear it.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (3rd House): Your tongue, your thoughts, your internal narratives. The bullshit gets louder before it dies.
    New Moon (9th House): Vision, philosophy, belief systems, long-term trajectory, the map you pretend you don’t need.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    You’ve been ignoring a truth that’s been tapping you on the shoulder for months, Aries. The High Priestess Rx is here to drag your intuition out of the basement where you locked it. Expect misunderstandings, misreads, old mental loops, and secrets (yours or someone else’s) to break surface tension under the Gemini Full Moon. December exposes where you’ve been shallow with yourself. The New Moon demands you stop hiding behind “I don’t know yet” when you actually do.

    This month isn’t about being psychic, it’s about being honest.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Truth-telling spell. Write the lie, burn the page.

    • New Moon: Road-opening ritual using fire + a key.

  • Card: Three of Wands

    “Your future is calling, don’t make it leave a voicemail.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (2nd House): Money, self-worth, boundaries, material security.
    New Moon (8th House): Shadow work, fear alchemy, debts (energetic or literal), ancestral wounds.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    You’ve been preparing, dreaming, planning, and now, December asks: Are you done waiting?
    The Three of Wands shows growth, but it also shows distance. There is something you want that requires a leap, a risk, or an uncomfortable stretch. The Gemini Full Moon reveals where scarcity thinking or self-doubt has clogged your momentum. The Sagittarius New Moon pulls you into your underworld so you can burn the outdated loyalties and fears that have kept you earthbound.

    This month? Expansion or excuses. Choose.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Money bowl adjustment + boundary consecration.

    • New Moon: Shadow integration ritual with black salt.

  • Card: Ten of Pentacles

    “Legacy isn’t given. It’s built.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (1st House): Identity, self-image, personal truth.
    New Moon (7th House): Contracts, relationships, agreements, reflection through others.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    The Ten of Pentacles is the culmination of long-term work, and the December Full Moon puts the spotlight directly on you. Expect sudden clarity around who you are becoming versus who you’ve been performing as. The New Moon challenges your relationship patterns: who contributes, who drains, who builds with you, and who only takes up space in the castle you’re trying to construct.

    December is your inheritance month, the one where you claim your name in the story.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Self-anointing ritual with ancestor oil.

    • New Moon: Relationship cord evaluation + retying what stays.

  • Card: King of Pentacles Rx

    “Stability isn’t real if it costs your soul.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (12th House): Subconscious, grief, secrets, dissolution.
    New Moon (6th House): Health, routines, work rhythms, the body’s truth.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    You’ve been gripping something too tightly, a role, a relationship, a responsibility, a paycheck, a habit. The King of Pentacles Rx exposes where material fear has turned into emotional stagnation. The Full Moon opens the floodgates of the 12th house, letting out the grief you’ve kept pressed under your ribs. The New Moon confronts your health, workflow, and daily rituals. Your body wants different. Your spirit wants rest. Your bank account wants honesty.

    December asks: What are you clinging to that’s already slipping through your fingers?

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Water-based release ritual (bath, river, tears).

    • New Moon: Health altar refresh + cleansing charm for the body.

  • Card: Ten of Wands

    “You’re carrying too much for someone who still expects to run.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (11th House): Community, friendships, expectations, social ties.
    New Moon (5th House): Creativity, romance, joy, pleasure, risk.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    Leo, you’ve been hauling an entire mountain on your back while pretending it’s “just a busy season.” December exposes how much weight you’ve agreed to carry for others. The Full Moon reveals imbalances in your social world, who takes, who shows up, who drains, who uplifts. The New Moon in your 5th house brings a spark back to your joy, your art, your pleasure, your desire. But to reclaim it, you must put down what isn’t yours.

    You can’t be the sun if you insist on being everyone’s firewood.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Cut social cords that feel like anchors.

    • New Moon: Pleasure spell + candle magic in a bold color.

  • Card: Queen of Wands Rx

    “Your fire is flickering because you’re facing backward.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (10th House): Career, reputation, public identity.
    New Moon (4th House): Home, ancestry, emotional roots, privacy.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    You’re tired, not just physically, but spiritually tired of the same patterns, the same work, the same loop of “I should have done better.” The Queen of Wands Rx shows insecurity bred from old wounds refusing to stay buried. The Full Moon illuminates your career and the pressure you’ve put on yourself. The New Moon drops you into the emotional basement of your life, your roots, your history, the unfinished business of your inner child.

    You can’t lead with power while dragging your past behind you like a corpse.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Burn an old professional storyline (paper spell).

    • New Moon: Ancestral candle + quiet home ritual.

  • Card: Queen of Pentacles

    “Nurture the thing that will nurture you back.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (9th House): Truth, belief, philosophy, spiritual path.
    New Moon (3rd House): Communication, writing, spellcraft, ideas moving.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    You finally feel a sense of groundedness returning, or you’re at least seeing where it wants to grow. The Queen of Pentacles invites deep nourishment, stability, and long-term cultivation. The Full Moon exposes beliefs you inherited but don’t actually believe. The New Moon helps you articulate your truth, your magic, your direction. December asks you to take yourself seriously, not in a heavy way, but in a devoted way.

    This is the month where the witch becomes the steward of their own life.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Truth-expanding incense or smoke ritual.

    • New Moon: Write a charm or petition for 2026 intentions.

  • Card: Two of Cups Rx

    “Connection can’t thrive where trust can’t breathe.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (8th House): Fear, intimacy, shadow, endings, bonds.
    New Moon (2nd House): Self-worth, resources, money, personal value.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    The Two of Cups Rx exposes where the exchange has been uneven, where love, trust, vulnerability, or communication has soured. The Gemini Full Moon cracks open your shadow house; old hurts, suspicions, imbalances, and unspoken resentments rise up. The Sagittarius New Moon shifts you back to your foundations: your worth, your body, your resources, your right to take up space.

    Not all connections survive the season.
    But the ones that do will be reborn stronger than before.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Shadow mirror work or severing ritual.

    • New Moon: Prosperity charm carried on your body.

  • Card: Queen of Swords Rx

    “You’re cutting too sharp and calling it ‘truth.’”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (7th House): Relationships, contracts, confrontations.
    New Moon (1st House): Identity, rebirth, personal power.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    Words have been weapons lately, even when you didn’t intend them to be. The Queen of Swords Rx shows defensiveness, harshness, or emotional withdrawal disguised as logic. The Full Moon brings truths into your partnerships, highlighting communication breakdowns or unmet needs. The New Moon in your 1st house is a rebirth, a shedding of the persona you’ve outgrown, a reclaiming of how you show up in the world.

    This month asks you to sharpen your wisdom, not your tongue.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Relationship truth ritual (blue or white candle).

    • New Moon: Personal naming ceremony or identity cleansing.

  • Card: King of Swords Rx

    “You are not a machine, stop acting like one.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (6th House): Work, health, burnout, obligation.
    New Moon (12th House): Healing, endings, psychic clearing, release.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    You’ve been too in your head, too sharp, too disciplined, too “I can handle it.” The King of Swords Rx exposes where your mind has turned against you, where you’ve become your own taskmaster, critic, or tyrant. The Full Moon highlights burnout in the body. The New Moon drags you into your hidden wounds, the ones you keep taped over so you can stay functional.

    December demands softness. Not weakness, softness.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Body cleansing + herbal soak.

    • New Moon: Sleep magic / dreamwork with mugwort or lavender.

  • Card: The Hermit

    “Go inward, but not to hide, to become illuminated.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (5th House): Pleasure, romance, creativity, joy.
    New Moon (11th House): Community, collaboration, influence, hopes.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    This month turns your gaze inward, not because the world is too much, but because your inner world is finally speaking loud enough to hear. The Hermit invites introspection, study, divine solitude, and wisdom-building. The Full Moon highlights a longing for joy, intimacy, and creative expression. The New Moon brings clarity around your community, who your people actually are, and who drains your light.

    You are becoming your own guide.
    Not lonely, sovereign.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Creative candle spell (colorful, expressive).

    • New Moon: Community threshold spell (who enters, who exits).

  • Card: Five of Cups

    “Yes, something was lost. But not everything.”

    LUNAR ACTIVATION

    Full Moon (4th House): Home, childhood wounds, emotional foundation.
    New Moon (10th House): Career, reputation, visibility, structure.

    WITCHMARKED INTERPRETATION

    Grief hits differently this month. The Five of Cups pulls you into old emotional waters, regrets, disappointments, the ache of what could have been. The Full Moon exposes foundational wounds you've avoided or minimized. The New Moon pulls you into your public life, asking you to rebuild your confidence, your structure, your ambition from a place of truth rather than fantasy.

    December is not a collapse, it’s a clearing.

    SPELLWORK

    • Full Moon: Emotional offering ritual (water + salt).

    • New Moon: Career candle + petition for 2026 alignment.

May the fire of this month burn away what dims you, and may every spark you claim become a torch you carry into the year ahead.
