December is lit,
Taurus. Planets are changing signs, there’s a solar eclipse, and your ruler
goes retrograde— it’s epic. The month kicks off with a new moon solar eclipse
in Sagittarius at 12 degrees on December 4, the last in the series since 2020,
igniting your 8th house of shared resources, financial obligations, personal
vulnerability, death, and rebirth. Release all those fears on this potent
lunation because you’ve got nothing to be afraid of. It’s a chance to integrate
all the knowledge you’ve gained during the Moon’s most important lunation. On
December 13th, Mars enters Sagittarius also in your 8th house. In
Sagittarius, he is a risk-taker, optimistic, and enthusiastic. Before you
invest all your money in crypto, hit pause; with Mars here, you may throw
caution to the wind. A full moon in Gemini arrives on December 18 in your house
of cash and self-worth. This is a very positive lunation so deck those halls
and go splurge! A significant alignment occurs on the 19th as your ruler Venus,
the planet of love and relationships, turns retrograde in Capricorn until
January 29. When your ruler goes underground, it affects you more than the
other zodiac signs. Venus will retrograde for 40 days and 40 nights. Biblical
indeed, but no floods, only that pesky pandemic. Venus is encouraging you to
reflect, review, and revise the area of your chart where she lands, which
happens to be your 9th house. This house governs learning, long-distance
travel, spirituality, and beliefs. Think back to December 2013-January 2014, when
Venus was in retrograde in the same spot. Similar themes will emerge, but on
this go-around, you're bringing the benefits of wisdom and gained
experience. In Capricorn, she is serious, desiring stability, security,
and commitment. Don't be surprised to hear from past lovers and exes; they
usually resurface during Venus retrograde cycles. It is an opportunity to
reassess and reflect upon your values and desires, a time to go deep and expand
your perceptive of the cosmos. Go figure, Christmas Eve and Christmas day have
the most challenging alignments of the month. It’s peak 2021. On the 24th,
Venus and Pluto hook up and it’s not a pleasant encounter. Relationship
dynamics get intense, controlling, jealous, or spark Succession-caliber
power struggles. On the 25th, the final Uranus square to Saturn occurs,
inspiring you to rebel against the established rules, creating the freedom you
desire. The holidays will be lively, so do have plenty of wine, edibles, and a
sense of humor. The year ends on the most promising and hopeful planetary shift
as Jupiter enters Pisces on December 28. Taurus, this is your gift from the
cosmos; Jupiter will dwell in your 11th house of collaborators, friends, hopes,
dreams, and future aspirations. Jupiter gives you the impetus to break free
from self-imposed restraints. Jupiter in Pisces is grace, kindness, benevolent
generosity, and collective healing. Not the time to start projects solo, you
need a team that will support you back. Cheers to love, hope, and inspiration!
Almost as if you hired a
graffiti artist to tag your astrological aura wherever it counts, this month, the
celestial skies feel like you, all over the place! But before you go
feeling like a Kardashian, that ubiquity is a good thing, we swear. It begins
with a solar eclipse in Sagittarius on December 4, highlighting your 7th house
of committed personal and professional partnerships. Eclipses are unpredictable
wildcards, intending to shake us up and awaken us, even when uncomfortable. It
is a significant lunation, the last in a series that began in 2020. Your
relationships have been tested and have been under renovation since then. Would
you please let go of whatever is no longer serving you or what you’ve outgrown?
It can be a partnership that has come to an end or simply a way of relating to
others who no longer serve you. On December 13, your ruler Mercury enters
Capricorn in your house of shared resources, investments, and financial
obligations. Capricorn is grounded, serious, and cautious; it is ideal for
learning about investing or getting your finances in order. On the same day,
Mars enters Sagittarius in your 7th house of committed partnerships, both
personal and professional. Mars comes around every two years to ignite this
area of your chart. Mars in Sag is restless, enthusiastic, and eager for new
experiences. Think of your partnerships as an adventure with renewed passion.
Be proactive in them; those single, start swiping. A full moon in Gemini arrives
on December 18, spotlighting, yep, you! A celestial gift for this most fun and
fabulous lunation! It is the ideal day for a holiday party, attend or throw one
and socialize away! The spotlight is on you, and we all could use some Gemini
wit and charm. Venus turns retrograde in Capricorn on December 19 for six
weeks. Venus' retrograde in your
8th house highlights shared resources, intimate relationships, and finances.
Think back to December 2013 and January 2014 when Venus was retrograde in the
same position, and similar themes will resurface. Venus will unearth issues
that you haven't wanted to face, especially in your intimate relationships. In
Capricorn, she wants commitment, stability, and security. Think long-term—what
you can build which is lasting and enduring. The most significant celestial
event arrives on December 28, as Jupiter, the King of the Gods, enters into
mystical Pisces, bringing benevolence, inspiration, healing, and protection,
lighting up your 10th house of career. The last time Jupiter transited your
10th house was in 2010; similar themes from then may resurface. Jupiter ignites
your motivation and confidence to release any self-imposed limitations you have
set. As you move confidently in your professional world, your reputation and
worldly aspirations elevate with Jupiter's expansive influence. Your presence
is requested and graciously felt even in your absence—the best of all worlds,
Gem!
December is a wild
month that has everything: an eclipse, planets changing signs, and Venus turning
retrograde. It kicks off with a solar eclipse in Sagittarius, activating your
6th house of health and wellbeing. This eclipse is the last of a series that
started in 2020, offering you the opportunity to drop a few bad habits or
people. The lunation is allowing new energy to emerge. Mars, the planet of
action, enters Sagittarius in your 6th house on December 13, meaning
it’s time to jumpstart your self-care routine. He comes around every two years
to ignite this area of your chart. Mars in Sag tends to overextend, so do a
trial class before you sign up for a series of hardcore, headbanging workouts. A
full moon in Gemini arrives on December 18 in your 12th house of solitude and
retreat. You may crave some private time before the holidays—take it, as you do
need your alone time. Venus, the planet of love and
beauty, turns retrograde in Capricorn on December 19-January 29, activating
your 7th house of committed relationships, both personal and business. Think
back to December 2013-January 2014 when Venus last retrograded in the same
spot. While similar themes will emerge, you are being given another chance to
review, renew, and reflect on your life. Venus retrogrades are
turning-point cycles; the question is, how will they play out? Venus can deepen
partnerships or destroy those on shaky ground. Venus retrograde allows you
to face issues you've swept aside making now the time to address them. In
Capricorn, she wants commitment, stability, and security; she’s not playing
around. She will conjunct powerful Pluto on December 11 and Christmas Day, yes;
beware of controlling behaviors, jealousy, manipulation, and old wounds
resurfacing—ouch. Enter those dates into your calendar pronto. Remember
self-care? You may need it. But not for long. We’ve been waiting for the hopeful and wonderful celestial event that
occurs on December 28, when Jupiter enters magical Pisces. Jupiter in Pisces is
healing, generous, benevolent, mystical, and magic. Jupiter activating your 9th
house ignites the quest to search for greater meaning and direction in your
life. Spirituality, wisdom, knowledge, and long-distance travel will expand
your worldview. Find a shaman and go on an inward vision quest. Drop into the
intuitive realms, dig into the healing world of plant medicine, or go back to
college; whatever path you choose, you're inspired to have more meaning in your
life. Expand your consciousness to develop into your highest potential. This is
your time to tweak things to create an upgraded version of yourself. We can’t
wait to see what you do!
December is much
ado about everything when it comes to you, Leo. A solar eclipse in Sagittarius arrives on December 4, highlighting your 5th house of
play, romance, and creativity. This lunation is the last of a series in which
began in 2020. On this potent eclipse, Leo goes within and releases any
internal blocks that hinder your self-expression. Instead, tap into your joy,
which is your true essence. On December
13, Mars, the planet of action, enters Sagittarius and that 5th funhouse
of yours. Mars in Sag is enthusiastic, amusing, and adventurous, so play, have
a romance, get creative. You shine brightest when your creative juices are
flowing. A fabulous and fun full moon in Gemini arrives on December 18, the
perfect day to have a holiday party, attend one, and socialize; we all need
some Leo sparkle this holiday season! Venus,
the planet of love and relationships, turns retrograde on December 19 in
Capricorn. Venus returns to the same spot
every eight years so think back to December 2013-January 2014 because old
themes related to Venusian energy may surface. Now that you're older and wiser,
you can welcome and deal with them on your terms. As Venus retrogrades through
your 6th house, you are encouraged to review relationships with work, daily
routines, and self-care. Former bosses, colleagues, friends, or loves may
reappear during this time. This pause is a time of reflection allowing you to
dive deeply inward; what are your needs and desires? In Capricorn, she is
looking at the long-term results, stability, and commitment. It is time to make
a serious commitment to your well-being and self-care, Leo. Venus will hook up
with controlling Pluto on December 11 and on Christmas and, in full
Machiavellian energy, will guard for controlling behaviors, jealousy, or
manipulation. These are high drama days, as we all know how dramatic and
controlling you can be, Leo. The most significant celestial event occurs

Forget snow,
Scorp, and make it rain this month! December starts with a solar eclipse in
Sagittarius on December 4, igniting your 2nd house of money and self-worth;
this is the grand finale in a Gemini/Sagittarius series that began in May 2020,
changing how you earn and manage your money. Eclipses are narratives of
change and new beginnings, demanding that we grow beyond what was previously
known. Scorpio, you are a survivor; let go of what didn’t work, integrate
what you've learned, and move forward with a renewed faith in your talents and
self-worth. Mars, your warrior ruler, enters Sagittarius on December 13,
activating that second house of cash (or crypto) money. After 18 months of the
eclipse mining through this area, now is the time to raise your fees so ask for
that raise or start your own business. The money theme continues with a full
moon in Gemini, illuminating your 8th house of shared resources on December 18.
Let your money work for you, Scorpio; this positive lunation can yield fabulous
financial results. Venus, the planet of love, turns retrograde on December 19,
landing in the sign of Capricorn, activating your 3rd house of communications,
attitude, and the local community. Think back to Winter 2013-2014, the last
time Venus was retrograde in Capricorn. Similar themes will arise this
go-round. Since you're older and wiser, it does not have to be a return to old
patterns or fears; this is a time of growth and renewal. Be mindful in all of
your communications, especially with siblings and neighbors. In Capricorn, she
wants depth and stable bonds, adverse to superficial chit-chat. She can
be cold or insensitive; just keep your judgments to yourself, ok? Pluto and Venus hook up on Christmas Eve, but this is
not a pleasant meeting. You can
inadvertently say things you may regret; you know how you can sting, Scorpio, so
stay mute. Another difficult alignment, the Saturn-Uranus square, occurs on
Christmas Day, teaching you important lessons on your communication skills,
especially with family members. Please be on your best behavior over the
holidays, or do whatever it takes to get you through; old hurts and wounds may
resurface. The most anticipated celestial
event arrives on December 28, ending the year with hope. Jupiter enters into
magical Pisces, bringing a shower of blessings, magic, healing, and
benevolence. Pisces is in sync with your nature and the feeling realms of
intuition, imagination, dreaming, wandering, and generosity. Your 5th
house of creativity, romance, self-expression, and children are activated. You
have an abundance of creative energy, self-confidence, joy and, if you play
your cards wisely as you likely will, cash! Spread the wealth, not the sting, Scorp!
The month is a light of hope and unimagined possibilities. The universe is gifting you a solar new moon eclipse in your sign and house of identity and self-expression.

If not, pivot for financial purposes. The most challenging alignments occur on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, when Venus conjuncts Pluto and the Saturn-Uranus square. Your bubbly optimism is needed when Venus and Pluto hook up. After that, it is high drama, controlling, jealousy, and hurtful behaviors. Relationships can get heated. Stay out of the fray. The last Saturn-Uranus battle moves you to rid yourself of your rigid and stubborn mindset. Do you know you can pontificate and be self-righteous?

December allows you to unpack all
sorts of baggage that’s been weighing you down, Cap. The opportunity to release
that old emotional luggage you've been schlepping around will set you free! The
month begins with a solar eclipse in Sagittarius on December 4 in your 12th
house of retreat and spirituality. Eclipses are narratives of change and new
beginnings. They demand growth from us to become better versions of ourselves. The
past few years have not been without challenges and difficulties; you prevailed
and accomplished a great deal. At last, you get a reprieve. Take time out for
yourself; the solar eclipse invites you to go inward, rest, and reset. Spending
time alone is essential to your well-being; the eclipse is calling you to do
so. Mars, the planet of action, enters Sagittarius on December 13, in the 12th
house, offering you incentive to spend much needed time alone. While you may be
less inclined to be seen, it’s your calling to go slow and give yourself a
reprieve from worldly life. The fabulously positive full moon in Gemini arrives
on December 18, illuminating your house of well-being and self-care. Take
advantage of it because you deserve it! Venus, the planet of love and beauty,
is in your sign and on December 19, she turns retrograde. Think back to Winter
2013-2014, when Venus was last retrograde in
Capricorn. The themes may be similar, yet the outcome does not have to be.
Venus lands in your 1st house of self-identity during which time your relationships
will now be under review. Venus retrograde invites you to clear the air, to deal
with issues you haven't wanted to broach or resolve. Old lovers or exes will
resurface—they always do. Venus in your sign, is serious, desiring deep,
lasting bonds that are stable and secure. Never forget that’s why they call
them “exes.” Go easy on yourself, dear Cap, as you can be a harsh judge. Unfortunately,
you may have some self-image issues with this Venus retrograde. The holidays
can get tricky with Venus and powerful Pluto conjunct on December 24; hurts,
jealousy, controlling behaviors can erupt, but keep your cool, Capricorn
demeanor in check, give them your best resting bitch face, and leave it at that.
The year ends with a significant celestial event when the expansive planet
Jupiter moves into mystical Pisces on December 28. Jupiter in Pisces
invites you to hope, heal, and be inspired to live a life aligned with your
dreams. Jupiter ignites your 3rd house, influencing your mind and consciousness
and your attitude, learning, and community. It illuminates the areas in which
you can weed out all your old negative patterns and behaviors. Your mind can
often wander down some dark alleys, but your consciousness can expand and become
more optimistic this time. A happier, more compassionate and caring Capricorn
can emerge. The 3rd house is cerebral, while Pisces is all intuitive, feeling,
imaginative, and instinctual and a helluva lot lighter than the heaviness of
your previous haul!
