December Horoscopes 2021
The twists and turns in December 2021 horoscopes may take us to great highs, and… ask us to get practical on the ground. Very different flavors and oh so interesting.
The major features this month include a solar eclipse on December 4, the planet Venus going retrograde, and the final showdown between Saturn and Uranus. I have written about this Saturn Uranus energy using the archetypes of the Rebel and Traditionalist. Read more about that here.
There is one day that may be super awesome. Try to do something fun on Monday December 20. If Mondays are too busy for you, do something the Sunday before. Anytime the Sun and Jupiter are in a happy flow, it’s good for all of us.
In addition, we have a connection between two other planets, Mercury and Uranus. So This will be a time of quick mental energy, innovative ideas, and good vibes. Socializing is called for. A game night could be super fun. Just be careful not to overdo it.
The month kicks off with a lot of Sagittarius energy. You may feel like getting out and having an adventure. If you are like me and have been homebound the last 2 years, just going out to eat can be an adventure.
By the end of December things will take on a more serious tone as Capricorn energy becomes more prominent. Before getting into your horoscope, I wanted to talk a bit more on the major features.
Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Sagittarius
The solar eclipse will be late Friday night or Saturday morning, December 4. Eclipses come in pairs, and this is the second. You may remember we just had the lunar eclipse at the Taurus full moon. You can read more on that here.
This solar eclipse is interesting because it is a new moon, which is about new beginnings. And this eclipse has the energy vibe of letting go and releasing. So it’s not like your typical new moon. It’s one to think about what needs to be released in order to move forward.
Any eclipse is a superpowered lunar cycle. If the degree is making contact with something in your chart, on or around 12 degrees Sagittarius, you could really feel this energy. An eclipse means one of the lights loses its light for a period of time.
This is a solar eclipse, which can only happen on a new moon. When the Sun loses its light, it’s like an identity crisis. Clinging to old ways will not likely work. Clearing away obstacles on your authentic path is a better use of the energy.
If you want to find out if the eclipse is touching something in your chart, schedule a consultation with me.
Venus Retrograde
This planet goes retrograde around every 18 months. You probably hear about retrograde because of Mercury retrograde. In comparison, Mercury goes retrograde around 3 times a year. The more rare, the more impactful. So you might feel this one in your life.
You will often hear that Venus is about relationships and your love life. This is true generally. In your chart, it can be more specific. The life domains impacted by Venus vary and are individual. So I’m going to talk more about that below.
In general, it’s important to know that Venus will be traveling through the sign of Capricorn. She is going to meet up with the planet Pluto, so this retrograde will take on some intense features that will be present most of December.
If it so happens that this meetup with Venus and Pluto activates something in your chart, it can be life changing. Pluto is a planet of intensity and big change. Capricorn is a sign known to be serious, committed, tenacious, and determined.
This retrograde will go through the end of January, but it will take some time for Venus to get back into her groove. I am looking forward to seeing how this energy plays out. We will see as we move into spring of 2022 and Venus is back up to speed.
Saturn and Uranus
These planets have been connecting all year with three exact meetings in 2021. The third and final meeting is happening in December. We should start to see a maturation of what started back in February when this year long trend started with their first meeting. The second meeting was in June. Read about this trend here.
Think about those time periods and if there is a theme or pattern showing up in your life. Next year we should start seeing a resolution coming to this 2021 theme.
On the world stage, we may see more polarity. With Venus retrograde popping in at this time, matters may be forced to unify or face greater destruction. This third meeting in December can be more intense than earlier this year, with the Pluto Venus energy happening at the same time.
With these major themes in mind, here are rising sign horoscopes. It’s best to read for your rising sign. If you don’t know yours, contact me and I will help you get it. Or you can use a free online calculator like this one. You will need your birth date, place, and time.
