December 2021 Monthly Horoscope: Trust the Process!

Welcome to December Astro besties, December 2021 is an action-packed month in the Astrology world. Collectively, the last month of the year wraps up many of the major themes brewing all 2021, including the highly-publicized Sagittarius Solar Eclipse New Moon on December 4 and the humbling third and final Saturn vs. Uranus square on Christmas Eve, December 23 -24.

Hosting the start of Venus retrograde and the Gemini Full Moon on Dec 19, and Capricorn Season on Dec 21, this month’s collective energy encourages you to slow down, ground your thoughts, and gracefully move through the twists and turns this expansive month brings. This energy asks you to take accountability for your actions, and explore sustainable ways to practice resourcefulness so you can comfortably secure the life you want.

Whether it’s restructuring your schedule, relationships, and systems, making more money, reorganizing your home, or cutting back on excess expenditures and activities, be open to a new way of efficiently doing things. Use this season to get your foundation for 2022 and beyond in order. 

At times throughout December, especially around the Gemini Full Moon on December 19, you may feel overwhelmed and distracted by time-consuming projects, overthinking, miscommunications, social invitations, and media news.

As we move closer to the restrictive Saturn vs. Uranus square on the 24, there may be unexpected expenses and delays. To stay balanced, take it one day, one task at a time. Be realistic about what you can accomplish in a specific timeframe. 

The goal for December 2021 and 2022 as a whole is to work smarter, NOT harder. Slow down and narrow your focus. Identify your top priorities and lock-in. Reduce unnecessary distractions and stress.

To stay updated for the month, here is a complete December 2021 Astrology Forecast. Below you will find December horoscopes for each planetary transit.

Dec 13: Mars in Sagittarius 

Since October 30, Mars, the planet of action, sexuality, weapons, surgery, and accidents has been in the eighth sign of Scorpio. In its light, Mars in Scorpio brought an increase in everyday investors, debt elimination, self-development, self-discipline, advocating mental health, sexual healing, and detoxing. 

In its shadow, however, Mars in Scorpio brought a rise in gun violence, domestic crime cases (especially against women and society’s hidden elite), spiritual scams, issues with inheritance, armed robberies, home invasions, addictions, and sex scandals.

With Mars officially leaving its home sign of Scorpio on December 13, we should see the dark cloud hanging over society lately start to lift. But please note that the South Node will be moving into Scorpio in January 2022, and this means that the major themes displayed between October - December will have to be addressed over the next two years, collectively.

From December 13 - January 24, Mars will journey through savvy Sagittarius. 

Mars in Sagittarius will bring an increase in international and domestic travel (or with the current placements, issues prohibiting it), cultural adaptation and appropriation, relocation, lifestyle shifts and upgrades, specialized training programs, courses, and seminars, highlights involving authority figures like Federal organizations, high-organized crime rings, and the Supreme Court.

Sagittarius also rules publishing and broadcasting, so more people will be publishing books, films, podcasts, documentaries, or looking to create new ways to broadcast their services and offerings.

Dec 13: Mercury in Capricorn 

When Transit Mercury is in the tenth sign of Capricorn, you can expect communications and thoughts to take on a more authoritarian and traditionalist tone. 

Capricorn’s strict energy brings any extremist and rebellious thoughts of Sagittarius back down to reality. Capricorn season is a transit of pragmatism and maintaining one’s public image.

For some, the mental rigidity of Mercury in Capricorn can feel limiting and burdensome.

However, for others, it encourages decisiveness, patience, and inner strength. Capricorn season is a time of great responsibility. You may face a few verbal disputes with parents, managers, or controlling people.

Although this transit is not what you would call fun, it does have its perks.

With transit Mercury in Capricorn, this is an excellent time to focus on capital funding, long-term planning, and expanding business/professional functions. If you stay focused and grounded despite the obstacles, you can get ahead. 

Dec 19: Venus Retrograde in Capricorn 

From December 19 until January 29, Venus, the planet of love, money, beauty, and pleasure is retrograde in conservative Capricorn. Conjunct Pluto, the planet of rebirth, this deeply transformative transit urges you to evaluate the current structure of your finances, business/profession, and core relationships. As the opposite sign of nurturing Cancer, this transit also highlights generational traditions and familial dynamics. There may be issues with power struggles, manipulation, capitalism, bankruptcy, and self-control. The goal of this transit is to identify any weak spots in your foundation and strengthen them. Do not be discouraged by limitations. You can do hard things. 

It may be helpful to ask yourself, what do long-term success and financial stability look like to me? Am I currently on the path to achieving it? If not, how do I refocus and realign with my long-term goals? 

With Venus stationing retrograde literally HOURS after the Gemini Full Moon, mental fog could be clouding your sense of rational and wise judgment. Social pressures and standards may be influencing your current perspective of where you are or what you’re trying to manifest. But is where you are or where you’re headed really what you want? Instead of going along just for the fun of it, be honest with yourself and your future.

When was the last time you checked your business plan? When was the last time you and your partner evaluated how you are currently managing and sharing responsibilities? How’s your home life? When was the last time you talked to your loved ones or spent undisturbed quality time with yourself and with your kids? 

For cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) in particular, this transit uncovers what responsibilities and limitations are being ignored or pushed to the side. Dealing with restrictions in all areas of life is one of the main side effects of this transit, as well as feeling financially and romantically abandoned, withdrawn, or neglected. 

The best way to work with this transit is to face responsibility head-on. Take accountability for your part. Do your best to support and not enable others. Uphold your boundaries. Respect the boundaries of others. Mind your business. Rebuild one day at a time. 

Even if it seems like your paradigm and reality are shifting in a way that you did not expect or understand, embrace your process and learn to shape your path instead of escaping it. 

Dec 19: Chiron stations direct 

On December 19, Chiron, the wounded healer will officially end its annual retrograde. Chiron began its retrograde in Aries on. With the planet that symbolizes emotional transcendence now moving forward in independent Aries, you should feel more aware of your triggers and feel confident in coping with them without victimization. If anything, the past few months have taught you that in order to heal your relationships, you have to first heal yourself. Loving yourself in all your phases and spaces frees you from the fear of failing. Because what is failure? A moment? Even if it's on a subconscious level, trust that are capable of taking on the work you are about to do. You got this!  

Dec 21: Capricorn Season 

When the Transit Sun is in the tenth sign of Capricorn, the primary motivation and overall focus are on establishing a long-term foundation of success, money, status, and position. Embodying the Spirit of the relentless goat, the Sun in Capricorn represents the integration of practicality and endurance -- overcoming hardships with discipline and patience. 

During this transit, you may find that you have to put more effort into the area of your chart Capricorn rules.

Daily experiences (especially those involving business, the government, or someone/something in authority) may require you to exercise more self-control and caution before moving ahead. 

While the Sun is in Capricorn, you may notice that you are more traditional or pessimistic (or you may have a conflict with something that represents these forces). 

When the Transit Sun is in Capricorn, you may have a hard time adjusting/adapting to change. However, you accomplish your goals and gain respect when you approach things with a single-minded focus. Capricorn Season is our annual solar reminder to be organized, decisive, and prudent! Get back to business, baby!

Dec 23 - 24: Saturn square Uranus Retrograde 

Saturn square Uranus represents uncomfortable change, forced tension, and unexpected restrictions. During the time this aspect is active, universally, there is a deeper desire to free oneself of anything that feels suffocating or undesirable. This is a season of revolution and rebellion. However, With strict Saturn in Aquarius challenging stubborn Uranus in Taurus, this transit highlights the limitations and circumstances that are outside of your control. To move through this energy, identify what IS within your control. In its light, this aspect highlights the ability to overcome obstacles and self-doubt. In its shadow, it exposes manipulation, greed, public conspiracies, scarcity fears, and resource shortages. 

Dec 28: Jupiter In Pisces

Beloved Jupiter finally makes its official debut into its home sign of Pisces on December 28. Jupiter will be in Pisces from December 28 until May 10, 2022. As the planet of expansion, fortune, and excess, Jupiter in mystical Pisces brings positive enhancements to the spiritual and material realms. This transit encourages us to turn inward and expand our lives from the inside out. While Jupiter is in Pisces, there will be a rise in spiritual practices, materials, and services. 

Jupiter in Pisces is all about incorporating more ease and flow into our self-growth and personal goals. If you want to prosper during this water-ruled transit, maintaining a schedule/routine that encourages rest and recuperation is key. This sensual transit invites you to have more fun, make more love, and get more sleep. Jupiter in Pisces is our 11-year collective reminder to work smart and rest harder. As a result, the next 5 months will be about redesigning work culture, western medicine, and ancient spiritual practices, cultures, and beliefs.
