The month begins with Neptune stationing direct in water sign Pisces on December 1st, urging you to find more harmony, balance and structure in how you lead your life on a daily basis. You might be moving away from some unhealthy dietary habits and your approach to day to day tasks and responsibilities might also change around this time.
The South Node New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on December 4th puts a strong focus on the communication and exchange of information. You are learning to be clear in how you communicate effectively with others. You may experience possible transportation issues and your siblings may go through change, or alternatively, you may have to deal with more paperwork than usual. This solar eclipse urges you to find the inner voice and use it to your best potential. Writing, reading and studying is also favourable at this time.
Mars enters Sagittarius from December 13th until January 24th/25th. With Mars transiting your 3rd house your mind is likely to be full of exciting ideas, making it a good time for selling or presenting your ideas to others. You may be especially busy working on various tasks simultaneously while communicating with others. Your communication style may also become more confident and articulate than usual. However, watch out for any self-centred or provocative communication style at this time, as such may convert into heated discussions and arguments. Mars will conjunct with the south node on December 15th, making it a good time for dealing with the past, rather than starting something brand new.
The Full Moon in Gemini on December 18th falls in your sphere of foreign affairs, higher education and personal beliefs. Your desire for freedom, space and adventure is likely to be increased during this time and you may get involved in some spiritual work or activities that will allow you to expand your interests and gain greater self-awareness. This full moon acts as an opportunity for you to achieve mental/intellectual fulfilment by utilising your higher mental abilities with creative imagination and inspiration.
Venus turns retrograde from December 19th until January 29th in earth sign Capricorn. Capricorn rules your domestic sphere (4th house). With this retrograde, the need for establishing inner emotional safety and security in your life is going to be increased. You are going to review your home and family situation during this retrograde and perhaps once Venus stations direct you might come up with new ideas and concepts that will help you to establish a more comfortable and secure home base. You might also decide you want to move away from being overly dependent on others for security and instead work on your self-confidence and self-love. While Venus stays in Capricorn throughout December, it will form two conjunctions with Pluto on December 11th and the 25th, dramatically increasing your need for fulfilling your need of inner safety and security as you want to be satisfied within your own home.
On December 23rd, Saturn and Uranus square, the third one of 2021, may stimulate you to implement significant changes in your life, especially in the areas of life where you have been unhappy or felt restricted due to other people’s negative influences or external factors out of your control. Initially, this can be a frustrating time, where tensions can arise due to unexpected changes; however, you can face these challenging energies and ultimately turn them into new opportunities with an open-minded and flexible mindset. The best way to deal with this transit is to let the events unfold without forcing anything. Eventually, it will become apparent to you which area of your life is not working anymore.
Jupiter shifts into water sign Pisces on December 28 until May 10, at which point it will move into fire sign Aries for a few months before returning back into Pisces on September 15 until the end of 2022. Pisces rules your 6th house of health, diet, work, employment, daily life and small pets. During the time when Jupiter stays in this area of your life, your working conditions are likely to improve, however, your attitude towards daily tasks may change. You may find that you function at your best when you have plenty of space and freedom to handle workload your own way and at your own speed. This can result in you wanting to have more flexible working hours or ideally find a job where you can set your own hours. Under the influence of this transit, there is also a tendency to overindulge or overextend yourself. For this reason, it is important to know and set your limits. I will discuss this transit further in the yearly horoscopes, which I will release in the second part of December 2021.
