Astrology December 2022

Aries
Fresh starts and new beginnings just at the right time, as we turn to face a new year. Couldn’t be truer for Aries Folk as Jupiter, the planet of expansion, moves into your Sign. I’m sure you’ll have been grinding back and forth and there’ll have been a few false starts. Something that sparked up and looked promising back in May, could have sputtered out, but now you’ll get some traction again and be able to move ahead… finally! You matter, you find meaning, you find purpose and hope! Yes Aries, life is still crazy, but you and how you feel within it all is due a glow up and here it is. I’d say next year improves as it progresses and as you’re always advised I’m sure, pace yourself. You have a lot of energy at your fingertips use it wisely.

Taurus
Feelings! Getting back to that place where you feel comfortable and relaxed. It’s been a minute, Taurus. You’ve definitely been pulled out of your comfort zone and royally poked and prodded for a while, but now Jupiter, Planet of expansion, moves into the above area of your chart and brings you growth and a bit more stability on the emotional front. Opportunities for some rest and healing. So it’s important to value these things and make time for them. Sometimes realisations can feel harsh and confronting, but Jupiter lightens things up somewhat and gives you a protective influence. Dreams will help you realise and start to process things, in fact if you haven’t been sleeping well you’ll get your horizontal groove back. Taureans like a slower pace, take advantage!

Gemini
Business before pleasure and a revisiting or reassessment of the money and areas of your life you share with others may become a theme this month. This isn’t to say it’s a bad thing, just that you may be called to reassess a few things to get them balanced and sorted. The influence shifts in January and though you never like to do things twice and may feel this is all a repeat, if you focus now you can get things moving in a better and more constructive way for yourself. Mid December your social life lights up and catching up with like-minded friends will do you the world of good, just in time for festivities! Mingle now because new connections will be abundant and the people you cross paths with can truly inspire you and bring you fresh ideas and pathways. Curious? Find me a Gemini who isn’t inquisitive… you guys love this energy, take advantage!

Cancer
Jupiter, the planet of expansion and fortune, shifts into your work and career sector this month and will be staying there for quite a few months! Yes we all tend to step back and wind down a little at this time of year, so this allows you to think things through and approach next year with a clearer Big Picture on this front. What would you find more meaningful? If you focus in, you may just have some light bulb moments and also find the opportunities you need to shift and grow. I guess if you work out what you truly feel your purpose is, you can get above the niggly day to day issues and recognise where you should go and what you’d find the most fulfilling. We spend too much time at work to be in robot mode! What would get you out of bed and looking forward to your day?

Leo
Jupiter, the planet of buoyancy, hope and expansion, moves into follow fire sign, Aries and gives all Leos a really nice boost for some months to come. Great timing for the Festive season and especially after a grinding 2022! Travel, philosophy, different cultures and ideas coming from these areas help to open up your outlook and Big Picture. Feeling more connected and in line with the Divine again features as well! Study, read, explore… these things will kick off your inspiration and motivation. At the same time, Mercury is slowing down to go Retrograde in your work sector toward the end of the month until mid January, so be prepared for things to take a little more time to pull off. This can help you find new ways of doing things and better workarounds or solutions though. Stay flexible and all will end well.

Virgo
Romance and reassessment, Virgo! This month is inviting “projects” on this front. If you’re in a relationship, this could be a re-visitation of an issue which was left up in the air. You’ll want and need to really dig in to resolve it now. If you’re single, this could be a past partner reappearing with a similar purpose, or if it’s someone new, they could bring up past patterns in you… but ones that you’ve worked on! In which case you’ll be asked to walk your talk, so to speak. Take things slowly and be observant of yourself as well as others. Things might feel odd, in some ways it can be like learning to walk again! You are definitely reforming and rebuilding and that takes time. It’s a red flag if someone insists on rushing you. Slow and steady wins the race, as you well know, Virgo.

Libra
A very nice month and indeed an ongoing trend for harmony in relationships of all kinds, Libra. There’s been a to-and-fro lately, you could call it a tough negotiating phase and things may have fallen quiet. This has allowed time for all of you to work through the superficial stuff and get down to what really matters, what the core issue or aim IS. Now there’s a better chance to rise above and approach everything from a higher plane, with the Big Picture at the forefront again. Try to approach any issues with a clean slate. Get back to basics and keep an open mind! As long as everyone feels heard and that their wants and needs are being taken into account, all should go well now. Peace can be achieved and that’s just how you like it, Libra.

Scorpio
Thinking about love and relationships this month could be a theme for you and if so, it’s about being able to reach some conclusions. Seeing more clearly what you can improve, or at least what needs to be improved, and a revisit of this. Of course it doesn’t have to only be in a romantic sense, the energy pertains to those you love, so family members may be a feature. As many of us catch up with relatives you’ll need to find a balance if you want to have “those” kind of talks. Getting to the bottom of things is just how you tick, but others can be oblivious and let’s face it, superficial at times. Dial the intensity back, remain patient and take things one step at a time for the best outcome. You’re becoming more driven to get everything in line now. Work and health as well as relationships! Go Scorpio.

Sagittarius
This truly is a Festive season for you guys as your ruling planet, Jupiter, moves into fellow fire sign, Aries and you could say it gives you your groove back! You may have the felt sparks back in May, but they proved to be literally that… now a fire is lit and grows. If you’ve done all the dreary work required of you in 2022, you’ve cleared out a lot of things mentally and physically which had to go and now your imagination and motivation return for a building phase which is far more creative and much more fun! Be wary of overdoing things or burning the candle at both ends, but your purpose really is to bring back joy in what you do and to have a good time doing it. For too long the energy has had a survival theme. It’s time to transform that and start thriving, Sadge.

Capricorn
Lots going on this month for you guys as usual at this time of year… there’s a lot of Planetary energy in your sign! But probably the most interesting thing is the Planet Jupiter shifting into the sector of your chart which deals with your “Home”. Your literal house of course, but your internal life and inner home too. Jupiter is a generally positive Planet, bringing expansion and fortune wherever he goes. So in December and for months to come, it’s about you settling into yourself and feeling more at home with YOU! More in line with who you are and what you do. Because you’ve been buffeted and perhaps made uncomfortable throughout the year, it will make for a very nice change! When we feel nurtured and safe within, the external world doesn’t feel half as harsh.

Aquarius
Here we are in the Festive season and we’ll have opportunities to get out and about a bit more, though for you guys, you may be spending a lot of time in your head! Mercury, Planet of the mind and communication, is going Retrograde later in the month and for Aquarians this happens in your sector of the subconscious. You might find yourself going back over past conversations and happenings and if you’ve got any answered questions? This is your time to see things in a different light and get some answers! Being extra organised in your day today will help if you if you find yourself feeling a bit foggy here and there. Pay attention to your intuition and your dreams this month, at least they’ll be talking loud & Clear. Schedule in some downtime to just relax and “be”.

Pisces
Well here we are at the other end of the year and December is looking like quite a relaxed month for you. Great! After all the twists and turns… transformation etc, it’ll feel just fine to let your hair down, Pisces. The energy supports your social life, so catching up with friends here and there will be good! The Planet Jupiter will be moving into Aries and for you guys, this should mean a boost and some expansion to do with your finances, along with your confidence. If you put yourself out there, those around you should value what you do and this brings opportunity on the work front. You’ve got this kind of magic during 2023, so while you’re having a drink at the pool? Imagine up what YOU’D like the year ahead to be!

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

FULL MOON: Thursday, December 8th, at 15:07 @16 Degrees of Gemini.

NEW MOON: Friday, December 23rd, at 21:16 @1 Degree of Capricorn.

*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.
