Astrology December 2021

ARIES
The Sun blazing away in fellow Fire Sign, Sagittarius, is lending you some extra energy & though it’s the Festive Season, your Career sector holds a LOT of emphasis. Perhaps you’ve poured much effort into rebooting your path & things may not have reached your expectations? All is NOT lost Aries, because if you’re at a crossroads, you can use December to refine things. If you want to refocus, or indeed shift your aim toward something new, be strategic with it. Plan. Universal Calendar works differently to our Earth one, so you can make any moves at the end of Feb or beginning of March for best results! January is not IT & may prove a bit flat or slow. Spend this & next month on yourself & doing the things that make you Happy. Nice project… fill that heart of yours UP!!

TAURUS
Spirituality! & actually good timing because we all tend to reminisce & stock take at this time of year. Of course we’re all tasked to spend time with immediate family, but you could plan a little something else with your closest friends at some point too & really let your hair down. You’d get a lot out of it, Taurus, if you’re so inclined. Past relationship challenges may resurface around now, but you’ll have the opportunity to dive deep & HEAL things, if you want to. If a new friendship or romantic connection comes your way, your one “proviso” is to take it SLOW & see where you are in a couple on Months before really committing. Is this next level? Or is it a lesson? If an ex puts in an appearance, you could rekindle but start by remembering why they became an ex & keep those feet on the ground. Explore further *only* if you know they’ve honestly CHANGED!

GEMINI
Yes, it’s incoming Festive Season but this one is a little different as the extroverted energy at the start of the month shifts half way through. You may find yourself feeling quiet & reflective, needing down time & SPACE. The best way to handle this is not to commit with your usual “It’ll be alright on the night”  attitude & leave things open. I think you’ll appreciate the wriggle room! Same applies to your finances & I’d aim for a minimalist approach to spending. Avoid those “Buy now, pay later” ideas & be kind to your future self. Partnerships, particularly romantic ones, are set for some intensity & there’s an opportunity to deepen things & move them to their next level. Pace yourself with anything new too. There’s no need to rush & time WILL tell, Gemini. Stay flexible, keep good.

CANCER
BIG focus on love & relationships this month, so you’ll be in your Realm! There’s an interesting energy surrounding such things this December though & some great opportunities to address & heal past challenging patterns or hurts. I say “interesting” because you are a VERY different person these days & if people have become accustomed to you taking a back seat, or compromising yourself for the sake of Peace, they’re actually in for a surprise! You’ve learned a LOT about your value & your worth, so I imagine you’ll be speaking UP for yourself & what YOU’D prefer. Good!  Really, the only way you can go in circles is if you fall back into old ways. Take care of yourself, schedule in some You time & enjoy feeling liberated, Cancer. Veer away from guilt, stick up for yourself. You’ve learned by now & it’s been a long time coming.

LEO
This month, you’ve got a god chance of seeing where you get in your own way, Leo! Time to find the door. Life may have been a bit complicated of late, but you can simplify things greatly if you don’t get up in your head about “STUFF”. Take a philosophical view now! If you’d like to set up a new schedule around work or daily chores, there’s a way of doing that now. If you want to put some New Years Resolutions out there? Remember the Universal Calendar works differently to the Earth one, so aim for the end of February, beginning of March to put things into play then, strategise & plan until. Emphasise quality time & practicing things that relax you toward the end of December & into January. You’ll be able to build up some heart energy that way, if you’ve been running on empty. You got this, Leo!

VIRGO
Lessons in saying “No!” Those around you need to accept it when you make the call & you need practice in saying that word, Virgo! This time of Year usually sees you busy, busy smoothing out the wrinkles in other peoples lives, but at what cost to YOU? I imagine you’ve been shown the true colours of a certain few & perhaps the view wasn’t very nice. Practical as you are though, you’ll have got on to get along. Now it’s worth thinking about who honestly deserves your time & effort & who certainly does not. It’s time to work smarter not harder. Plus… consider what you could be doing if you spent some time & money on yourself & what you like. Do you even know what those things are? Find a balance because actually, you do deserve it.

LIBRA
Often a social butterfly at this time of Year, you might surprise yourself by feeling more like a homebody. This is particularly so after mid month, so keep any early invites flexible & give yourself room to opt out if you choose to later. Actually, home really is where your heart is at & if you’re hosting a do or two yourself, you’ll really enjoy being in your own space. Aside from usual festivities, doing a bit of reorganising &/or redecorating will help ground you & stop so much mental chatter. Picking up a few old art projects will satisfy your Soul. If any old flames or Ex’s pop up whilst you’re painting? Investigate, of course, but take it slow… a fresh start is possible ONLY if they’ve really changed.

SCORPIO
You’ve got your mind on your money & your money on your mind this month & perhaps that’s a good thing. First because you’re taking a hard look at finances & are unlikely to overspend on the “silly season” & second, because your value & worth is being reflected back at you in a material way, offering a perspective on how you “rate” yourself. So, this is an opportunity to get real & realign yourself with a fresh start, a fresh direction, done YOUR way. Cut out what’s holding you back, bring in what’s positive, constructive & beneficial. There’s no hurry, you’ve got until March next Year to dig deep & work through things. What’s your new stance? Foundation? Platform? AIM? Patterns which may have bound you since 2013/14 could well become evident if you look. Your mission? Unchain your heart.

SAGITTARIUS
Festive Season incoming & for you guys, a New Moon (exact time below), in Sagittarius to work with! From the couple of weeks following the 4th, get out there & plant seeds for all the things you’d like more of in your life. Take a few practical steps to get the party started, put things in place & get on track. This month may also see you spending up big, but as the Planet who has much say over money matters, Venus, is Retrograde & not working to full capacity? Think twice before racking up your credit card & avoid any “buy now, pay later” traps. They could prove a challenge down the road. Enjoy your Birthday… put quality over quantity & as always, Dream Big, but build a solid foundation to support yourself.

CAPRICORN
For the next few months, through until the start of March 2022, you are hosting the lovely Planet Venus in your Sign. Granted She is Retrograde, but She’ll bring back old desires & loves, so there are ways to use the energy to your benefit. Revisit your past & see what you’d like to salvage or rekindle, Capricorn. At the same time, clear some space & a place for those things. Cut out what’s clearly outmoded & outgrown. This period harks back to the end of 2013 & into 2014, if that gives you a clue or two? A pattern may be showing up in a different way, form or context now. You’ve changed SO much since then, are you repeating things purely because they’re a habit? You have time to mull all this over, which is how you like to do things… slowly! Snapshot The Big Picture & act accordingly!

AQUARIUS
Intuition! Yes, we know you are almost second to none when it comes to correct hunches & mysteriously reaching conclusions WAY ahead of time, but this month? You’re on FIRE. You have a team of Planets, Mercury, Venus & Mars, all working behind the scenes for you, in your subconscious. Signs, symbols, messages & very lively dreamscapes are helping you join dots & see patterns at lightning speed. It’s a great time to ask questions, ask to be shown & the answers will come to you. Odd things will likely show up in strange ways & far from being daunted, you’ll find it mega interesting & delightful. Use the energy well… you can clear blocks past, present & future now. Here comes an abundance of new perspectives. Enjoy!

PISCES
Right, Pisces, quick chat heading into the Festive Season. What are your long term relationship goals? Start by recalling all the things you’ve sworn you’ll never do again! I’m talking about the cartwheels you turn & the pretzel shapes you’ve bent yourself into, to keep people happy. To keep The Peace. Ok. Now, when old friends, or family, or ex’s appear, you’ll be primed & grounded enough to revisit things from the correct perspective. Your mission with the people around you is to stretch & take things slowly. Suss out whether circumstances have truly, honestly changed. If they’re a positive & beneficial part of your life? It’s your choice to play on. If not? Practice saying “No”. The same applies to anyone new who shows up. Get the full picture before you get serious & invest yourself. You’re working on your new balance. If something doesn’t make you happy, don’t do it!

For those of you who track the path of the Moon, I’ve included the Date, Time,  Degree & Sign of both Full & New Moons:

NEW MOON: Saturday, December 4th, at 18:42 @12 Degrees of Sagittarius  

FULL MOON: Sunday, December 19th, at 15:35  @27 Degrees of Gemini.

*Moon info is based on local time (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia).

Typically, we read Astro Information based on our Sun Sign, however you can gain much better insight if you read for both your Sun, Rising (or Ascendant) & Moon Signs. You can ascertain these by going to a free Chart calculator (there are many online now!) & entering your own personal information. Usually, we’re asked for our time of birth & it can prove a sticking point if we don’t know it! If you don’t know your exact time of birth, enter Noon (12:00pm) where asked, & this will serve as a “happy medium”. Take the time to do this (you’ll only have to do it once, not every month) & note the Sign of your 1st House & your Moon Sign. They’re often different from your Sun Sign, but knowing this “trifecta” offers information that’s deeper & more relevant to who you really are. This way, Astrology will start to make a lot more sense to you, personally.
