🐶 Tails & Transits for December 2025
December drifts in quieter than November — a steady, soothing rhythm your pup will feel right away.
It’s a month of reflection, routine, and emotional warmth.
Dogs cling to familiar comforts as 2025 wraps up and 2026 begins to stir beneath the surface.
Jupiter retrograde re-enters Gemini, Neptune goes direct, and the month closes with a bright New Moon in Sagittarius — all gentle shifts, all felt deeply by our pups.
Full Moon — Dec 4 (3 PM PST)
The perfect day for grounding routines — your pup may crave stability, comfort, and extra snuggles. Taurus heightens the senses, so expect more sniffing, slow pacing, and “I know something is different” energy.
🐾 Paw Tip: Keep your pup’s world extra cozy — familiar blankets, slow walks, and steady routines help them feel grounded during this earthy Full Moon.
New Moon — Nov 19 (10:45 PM PST)
This brings playful, bright-eyed curiosity — the “sniff everything twice” kind of energy. Dogs feel ready for something new: a different walking route, a new toy, or a tiny adventure that wakes up their spirit.
🐾 Paw Tip: Introduce a small novelty with your pup — even a short sniffari or fun training game anchors the New Moon energy and brings joy.
🐾 December Bonding Ritual: The Cozy Shadow Walk
Take one slow, relaxed walk this month where you let your pup lead the way — no rushing, no phone, just following their pace and curiosity. Match your breathing to theirs for a moment, then end with a gentle chest rub or ear scratch.
A simple, grounding ritual that helps both of you settle into December’s calm.
5 Dec — Jupiter Retrograde (Back into Gemini)
Your dog becomes more expressive — more head tilts, more vocalizations, more “I’m communicating, are you listening?” energy. This is a check-in transit: they’re reading your mood closely and responding in their own dog-language.
🐾 Paw Tip: Narrate your day out loud — Jupiter in Gemini loves sound, tone, and connection, and your voice has a calming effect on your pup’s nervous system.
10 Dec — Neptune Direct
Neptune waking up in Pisces heightens your pup’s intuition. They may be extra sensitive, extra dreamy, or extra cuddly. With Saturn steadying Pisces, emotional boundaries smooth out — routines become soothing again..
🐾 Paw Tip: Use sensory grounding with your furry friend — soft music, a comfort blanket, and a predictable bedtime rhythm work wonders.
28 Nov — Saturn Direct
Since July, every good boy and girl has been rethinking boundaries and discipline (translation: why sit when snacks are optional?). With Saturn direct, structure returns.
🐾 Paw Tip: Reinstate training rituals — they’ll feel grounding, not restrictive.
🐾 Stay tuned for January…
The year opens with four planets in fiery Sagittarius — like a cosmic pack ready to dash toward a new purpose. Expect big paws, bold energy, and fresh momentum. January’s Cosmic Kennel will kick off 2026 with a joyful wag.
