Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
You can find yourself more in demand in December, dear Aquarius. Connections are likely to be quite fruitful. Particularly from the 9th forward, you have a strong sense of priorities, timing, and pacing. A creative or romantic interest blossoms or demands attention around the 18th. The last week of the month can find you more insular. People from the past may take on more importance from the 19th forward. As well, your desires in love can be ambiguous or obscure.
New energy is with you for friendships and long-term goals, and you can be in high spirits, feeling more connected or in touch with your dreams. After the Solar Eclipse on the 4th, it can be a time of more collaboration, involvement with others, and social connection. The changes you make or feel now are likely to be empowering, even if your first instinct is to resist them. Your social life has evolved over the past two years, and now is when this becomes especially evident.
Later in the month, aim to get extra rest and treat any slow-downs as a sign that you may need more time to recoup or reconsider a matter. You are beginning a period best used for emotional renewal, tying up loose ends, and laying low.
You might take the lead on a special project or for a cause that's important to you. December is very often a sociable month for you, and being a part of a team brings you the most success, even directly. It's a good time to share your time, ideas, and expertise. People are pleased with your work or contributions, and your inner confidence shines. Relationships with friends and associates assume more importance in your life. You're happily busy pursuing pet projects or happiness goals.
You may get quite fired up about issues close to your heart with Mars in your solar eleventh house from the 13th. Your feelings about (and relationships with) friends can also be more intense. New ideas are abundant, even if not always supported by people or current circumstances in your life.
Your innovative and enterprising qualities are in fuller play with this Mars transit. There is more natural energy with you for moving your plans forward. Until the 13th, there has been more pressure to push yourself with work or responsibilities, and now this pressure tends to subside considerably. Still, if there have been challenging energies with friends brewing under the surface of things, it can be time to clear the air.
Around the Full Moon on the 18th, there can be a stir with a creative project or romance. A relationship matter may rattle your cage. Something can open your heart to buried feelings and your eyes to situations that need your attention.
You're likely to see your material affairs strengthening in December. Faith in your ability to handle your responsibilities builds, as well as in making the living you want or attracting the right resources to you. You're more confident in your intuition with business and financial matters.
Even so, it's important to take your time on all-new projects, as Venus turns retrograde on the 19th. It's an excellent time to get in touch with your feelings about a past relationship, but it's also a vital time for focusing on more personal matters, work, and health. It's probably best to keep many of your projects and even your affections on the down-low for now. It's better to hold onto money this month and the next, generally speaking.
Before jumping into something too quickly, consider your options carefully. However, aim to keep your enthusiasm in the process!
As December advances, you find yourself craving more downtime. The best way to truly process and digest recent experiences seems through some relaxation or retreat. You may need to step back from situations to see the whole story. It would benefit you greatly to focus on what you can get rid of to simplify and improve your life going forward, including attitudes or habits. With Mercury and the Sun heading into your solar twelfth house on the 13th and 21st, some withdrawal, extra rest, and time for reflection are appropriate.
This comes at a time when Jupiter leaves your sign, this time for the long haul. It's a time to slowly but surely get in touch with new goals and aspirations that are powerfully motivating. This new Jupiter transit is strong for your money and resources, and on a psychological level, your self-worth and value. The months ahead are excellent for building on existing resources, a business, or a project and enjoying the rewards of your past efforts.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
December 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Eclipse
A Solar Eclipse occurs on December 4th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eleventh house, suggesting that a new approach to friendships or new friendships
altogether, a new path towards happiness and fulfillment, new associations or affiliations, or plenty of social activity are in store for you.
You may see the light in a friendship, realizing its importance in general, as well as the importance of acceptance and camaraderie. Circumstances may be such that you bring a new spirit of friendship into a romance or other connection in the next months. This can be invigorating.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from December 19th to January 29th:
Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well.
Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined.
It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle.
However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar twelfth house of all that lies beneath the surface of things. People from the past may resurface--physically or they might simply come to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now. What you want from love--your desires--are very ambiguous and obscure during this cycle. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don't do it at the expense of your present.Watch also for less than warm relations with family members, and avoid purchases of new property just for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From the 13th forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From the 13th:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

What you want from love--your desires--are very ambiguous and obscure during this cycle. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don't do it at the expense of your present.
Watch also for less than warm relations with family members, and avoid purchases of new property just for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From the 7-26:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
From the 26th forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
You can find yourself more in demand in December, dear Aquarius. Connections are likely to be quite fruitful. Particularly from the 9th forward, you have a strong sense of priorities, timing, and pacing. A creative or romantic interest blossoms or demands attention around the 18th. The last week of the month can find you more insular. People from the past may take on more importance from the 19th forward. As well, your desires in love can be ambiguous or obscure.
New energy is with you for friendships and long-term goals, and you can be in high spirits, feeling more connected or in touch with your dreams. After the Solar Eclipse on the 4th, it can be a time of more collaboration, involvement with others, and social connection. The changes you make or feel now are likely to be empowering, even if your first instinct is to resist them. Your social life has evolved over the past two years, and now is when this becomes especially evident.
Later in the month, aim to get extra rest and treat any slow-downs as a sign that you may need more time to recoup or reconsider a matter. You are beginning a period best used for emotional renewal, tying up loose ends, and laying low.
You might take the lead on a special project or for a cause that's important to you. December is very often a sociable month for you, and being a part of a team brings you the most success, even directly. It's a good time to share your time, ideas, and expertise. People are pleased with your work or contributions, and your inner confidence shines. Relationships with friends and associates assume more importance in your life. You're happily busy pursuing pet projects or happiness goals.
You may get quite fired up about issues close to your heart with Mars in your solar eleventh house from the 13th. Your feelings about (and relationships with) friends can also be more intense. New ideas are abundant, even if not always supported by people or current circumstances in your life.
Your innovative and enterprising qualities are in fuller play with this Mars transit. There is more natural energy with you for moving your plans forward. Until the 13th, there has been more pressure to push yourself with work or responsibilities, and now this pressure tends to subside considerably. Still, if there have been challenging energies with friends brewing under the surface of things, it can be time to clear the air.
Around the Full Moon on the 18th, there can be a stir with a creative project or romance. A relationship matter may rattle your cage. Something can open your heart to buried feelings and your eyes to situations that need your attention.
You're likely to see your material affairs strengthening in December. Faith in your ability to handle your responsibilities builds, as well as in making the living you want or attracting the right resources to you. You're more confident in your intuition with business and financial matters.
Even so, it's important to take your time on all-new projects, as Venus turns retrograde on the 19th. It's an excellent time to get in touch with your feelings about a past relationship, but it's also a vital time for focusing on more personal matters, work, and health. It's probably best to keep many of your projects and even your affections on the down-low for now. It's better to hold onto money this month and the next, generally speaking.
Before jumping into something too quickly, consider your options carefully. However, aim to keep your enthusiasm in the process!
As December advances, you find yourself craving more downtime. The best way to truly process and digest recent experiences seems through some relaxation or retreat. You may need to step back from situations to see the whole story. It would benefit you greatly to focus on what you can get rid of to simplify and improve your life going forward, including attitudes or habits. With Mercury and the Sun heading into your solar twelfth house on the 13th and 21st, some withdrawal, extra rest, and time for reflection are appropriate.
This comes at a time when Jupiter leaves your sign, this time for the long haul. It's a time to slowly but surely get in touch with new goals and aspirations that are powerfully motivating. This new Jupiter transit is strong for your money and resources, and on a psychological level, your self-worth and value. The months ahead are excellent for building on existing resources, a business, or a project and enjoying the rewards of your past efforts.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
