At the start of the month ravi is in vrischika rasi and entrees dhanur rasi on 17th.  Kuja is in his own sign vrischika only for first seven days and transits in dhanur rasi thereafter. Budha is in tula rasi for first six days of the month. And he transits in vrischika rasi from 7th to 29th of December.

On 30th he enters dhanur rasi. Exalted guru in kataka rasi is only for first five days. From 6th he is back in mithuna rasi. Entire month, guru is retrograde. Both kuja and shukra are combust entire month. Shani, rahu and ketu continue their passage in meena, kumbha and simha rasis respectively.
Adika maasa is when number of days in the month are more and shunya maasa is the month when the number of days are less, in a lunar calendar. The months in lunar calendar are chitra, vaishakha...... which are based on the star where full moon (poornima takes place). That means there is no shuna maasa in solar calendar. The solar calendar is based on the months occupied by ravi.

There are no adhika or shuna, as ravi takes nearly 30 days, appx. to traverse in a zodiac sign. Solar calendar is followed in Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Orissa, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. Well, not in Karnataka or Telangana. People have become more wise and they are not conducting any auspicious functions, marriages and grihapravesha when ravi is in dhanur rasi. To be precise, this is called Mārgaḻi maasa in solar calendar.
Rasi wise forecast for December, 2025
Mesha:

Excellent financial status due to benefic budha in the 8th. You are able to make deposits and you will receive written off amounts. You plan to purchase costly things or gold will not be successful. You will not find the items and designs you wishes. Ravi in the 8th for the first half is not good. This indicates insults, failures and guilt. Also, kuja in the 8th till 7th of the month may cause some sports injuries.
Vrishabha:

Quite a profitable month, thanks to benefic shani, guru and shukra. There will be excellent income and ways to invest also. You will purchase vehicles, gold, house etc., during this month. There is also some amount set side for a luxurious travel! Many of the people of this sign get married also. There is good progress in case of artists, singers and painters. Marital life is not up to the mark but is manageable thanks to shukra.
Mithuna:

Excellent professional progress during first half. This continues till 29th of the month but the result of the effort are not seen immediately. Financial position is excellent during first week and you should be wise to make a balance for the rest of the month. There are some professional problems due to averse shani in the 10th. Relationship with elders and higher officers is strained. Marital life is very bad and fierce thunder storms are seen at times due to adverse ravi and kuja. In the entire month, there will be mounting expenditure.
Kataka:

Not an ideal month for you. guru, shani and nodes are bad. Ravi is bad in the first half and budha for most of the month. And the remaining yield to vedha. In the entire month, particularly in the first half you have strained relationship with your children. You are able to purchase the things you need during first six days of the month. You are prone to cuts and wounds due to rahu in the 8th. You should not be in a hurry.
Simha:

There are problems related to mother and properties. Ensure you do not break any rules that the government is not set on war path with you. However, in the entire month you are on purchase safari - there is so much money to spend and enjoy. You will purchase vehicles, gold, shares , mutual funds and building. Budha and shukra are very good during this month.
Kanya:

There are more activities like attending functions, tours, meeting friends, relocation and sports. Sports persons will record considerable progress during the first half. If you are considering a membership in an elite club or expansion of your business or launching a new product - this is the time, till 20th of the month.
Tula:

Splendid days ahead! Most of the celestial bodies are favoring you. Do not bother about few - rahu, of course for the full month and ravi, kuja, budha and guru briefly for few days. Joyful trips, visiting friends and there is fun and frolic in the air. This is good time to branch out, to take new hobbies and sporting activities.
Vrischika:

Search for the possibilities of hibernation. It would be a good idea as many planets are adverse during this month. Well, there is one exception - the money God, also God of happiness Shukra is for you. For the first five days, he promises bonanza and is even more pronounced from 21st of December when he transits in 2nd from your rasi. This assures pleasure trips, good functions and happiness due to purchase of costly things. Rahu in 4th causes breakdown of many household articles. There is mild amount of professional frustration also.

Pratipadartha: गावः - cows; आ अग्मन्- come; उत -  and; भद्रम् -good; अक्रन् -let make; सीदन्तु - sit/relax; अस्मे - our; गोस्थे - in cow shed; रणयन्तु - be happy; पुरुरूपाः - in various colours; प्रजावतीः - calves; पूर्वीः - many; इन्द्राय -for Indra; इह -here;  स्युः - be; उषसः -at daybreak; दुहानाः - give milk.

[Rigveda 6-28-1; Devata: Indra; Rishi:bharadvaja barhaspatya; chandaha: Trishtup]
I relocated to a small village in interior karnataka after retirement. Somehow the concept of undesirable 'dhanur maasa' has crept here too as well as in Telangana. When I conducted grihapravesha on 20th December, few years ago, the eyebrows were raised by the wise men of the village. They wondered the credibility of the astrologer who does not know the basics of muhurta! Even my old relative had suggested a different date in January. The concept has become deep rooted, even my contemporaries are in the list. Suppose one says, his date of birth is Panchami in Āṉi maasa 1960, he does not know the concept of calendar! What do we get by adding 3 ltr water + 5 kgs pepper+1 acre of land? There is no logic in mixing chaitra, vaishakha maasa to Ani, Adi, Mārgaḻi (aka dhanur) maasas. That means, people in Telangana and Karnataka can conduct auspicious functions during margasira - pushya maasa when ravi transits in dhanur rasi.
As a matter of fact, it is mere custom not to conduct certain functions in adhika, shunya, dhanur maasa or pitru paksha. Astrology is focused on zodiac signs, planets and stars. It is not concerned whether you follow solar, lunar or Gregorian calendar! It does not know the boundaries of Kerala, Karnataka or Kremlin. A calendar of your choice is superimposed on the basic principles of muhurta dependent on custom, location and astrological snippets passed on by elders in the family.

Most of us know astrology and vastu by snippets printed on back side of Bangalore Press Calendar or Venktrama & Co Calendar. Not bad, we begin our journeys in mathematics through ಮಗ್ಗಿಪುಸ್ತಕ (Elementary Primer) but we should not get cemented there forever.
There is good progress in the field of education and housing section during the first week of the month. Remaining this go as usual, there are no special attributes at all. Many planets are in adverse position and those in favorable positions are under check. There is always one or the other challenges and there are strains on financial sections. The incidents on food poisoning, allergy, suicides etc., will go up due to rahu in the 8th. Some decisive action against anti social elements is possible before 7th of December. There is no break through in trade negotiations. The whole month is a worry about finances and some disease control.
However, kuja is in his own sign which protects and minimizes the damage. In the second half, you will fall into mood of talking/preaching and changing the world. Budha in 9th is also bad. You are not able to express your ideas clearly and you are not understood. It is better to talk less. This month may cause a long distance travel. There are minor misgivings with children.
You are prone to cuts and wounds due to ravi in 7th and 8th and also kuja in 8th. Extreme caution is required. There will be lot of time bound work in the office and tensions excreted will adversely affect your domestic life, if you do not shield yourself. Do not go on replacing old tools and furnisher now and do not start any modifications/improvisations for the house. You will be carried away and may spend more than needed.
All through the month, the time is not good for the children. You need to keep your cool when you deal with them. From 21st of the month, there is dramatic change in relationship with them. There are some setback in property matters during first six days of the month. Long distance transfer, humiliations and enmity with close relatives is possible due to shani in astama position. Rahu in the 7th causes some element of strained relationship with spouse.
There are domestic problems like ill health to mother from 8th of December and it gets intensified in the second half of the month. There is excellent income in the entire month. Money is not a botheration to spend, save and invest. There is income from multiple sources till 6th. When you purchase tools and consumer products, be doubly sure about their quality. Existing one may see sudden repairs. Professional strains are seen from 6th of the month. Just mind your business and avoid any personal relationships in the office. Marital discord continues as shani is in the adverse 7th. Expected loans will not arrive in time. Restlessness and some fear is common due to ketu in the 12th. 
Expected amounts do not come in time as budha in 2nd is under check and slight strains are seen during first half. There may also be strained relationship with family members. Nevertheless, you not have to be gloomy, shukra is benefic in 2nd. That means there is slight strain in day to day finances but there is ample money to purchase whatever you want. You can try to secure long term loans but with some difficulty; expect delay as shani is retrograde. This is not a good time for investments. You should exercise cool composure as the relationship with children is strained. There is always a possibility of extended support from unexpected corners due to benefic ketu.
You should learn to relax and sleep well. You should listen to your body giving signals. Do not talk more, you may land in trouble, inadvertently. Marriage proposals are put off for some time. You have sufficient funds but the things you need are not available. You have plans but you are not able to invest.
Ensure you do not spend more than your capacity while building the house or purchase of a flat. Always expect some delay and also taunts from your close relatives. Some people of this sign will be disappointed with close relatives and relocate to the other end of the world. There is always help from unanticipated sources. Be careful of advisors, they may try to hoodwink you for their own dividends.
You need to learn yoga, medication so as to relax well. There will be some friction with colleagues and subordinates; only patience will easily solve the situations. Purchase of gold, vehicle and costly things is indicated during first five days of the month. During this month, there is always some botheration about finances due to ebbs and tides. You have quite violent climate at home and there is always some fear which you can not define, due to ketu in adverse 8th. Keep away from gullible swamijis and magic men (and women too!).
Do not brag of what you can do, it is better to be an under dog when cats rule the kingdom! There is good progress of children almost for the full month. A good time for investments. Till 20th of December, you should be careful in the office. From 21st you are busy shopping costly things. Nevertheless, shani in 2nd house gives you a prudent mind in spending and saving. Mild amount of marital discord is possible due to ketu in 7th.
Be careful in the office not to disturb a hornet’s nest. You should have lot of patience and diplomatic skills. Ensure situation does go out of hand. You may incur wrath of an influential person. There is possibility of health problems to mother or close relatives, guru in 4th does not take to soft feelings. There is always a feeling that you are not getting due recognition and it is true. You need to wait for a long time.
