Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
December 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
Long-term goals toward happiness and fulfillment are spotlighted this month, dear Aquarius. It's a good time to collaborate with others or connect with the community, especially in the first week of December. As the month progresses, you make time for extra rest and recuperation.
Helping others, connecting with friends, mutually beneficial relationships, liberating conversations, and great ideas can be in strong focus. You might enjoy advances in a pursuit that takes you closer to achieving your happiness goals. Your approach to relationships is fresh and new, and your generosity of spirit and willingness to be vulnerable is in the spotlight and appealing. You seek emotional satisfaction and wholeness, and people in your life can lead you in the right direction.
You see new ways to rejuvenate your social life in December. You're awakening to yearnings for kinship, friendship, and involvement on the soul level. You may be taking care of others, or you may be seeking support. Investing more of yourself in your projects and ideas can be exhilarating, filling you with a stronger sense of purpose.
Confidence is also building in your ability to make the living you want or attract the right resources. You're putting more faith in your intuition with business and financial matters. A money matter that was in limbo may now release and progress forward.
There can be some challenges centering around friends, lovers, or creative projects. Ironing out problems can be complicated this month with the continuing retrograde of Mars, particularly when it involves others' issues. Some introspection is in order, and a more mature look at others and your own relationship needs can empower you.
The Full Moon on the 7th excites your senses. It's a time to celebrate the fun or playful side of your life. Revelations about how you feel about a person or pursuit can come and, in many ways, define your attitude and approach to life in the week following. A review of recent choices or endeavors seems important before you regain motivation.
As the month advances, a stronger need to get extra rest and time to yourself emerges. You can be a little more insular. Mercury and Venus are the first to move into your soul and private sector on the 6th and 9th, with the Sun following suit on the 21st. These ingresses point to a building need for an escape from the standard routine, healing and rest, attention to mental health, personal reflection, or a focus on background matters in your life. Ideally, you take extra time to come to conclusions and consider paths you can leave behind you. These transits can stir up issues that were swept under the carpet.
Opportunities to connect with neglected needs are plenty, so take advantage! Mercury's retrograde in this area begins on the 29th and points to a need to review, reflect, and perhaps redo or return to old projects and ideas. There are lessons and possibly a few gems involved with this backtracking.
While the ruler of your communications sector, Mars, will remain retrograde until January, there are signs of forward progress. For one, Jupiter enters this sector, and it's an excellent period for building up your skills until mid-May. You're excited to learn new things and share your ideas and interests. With Chiron turning direct in the same area of your solar chart, you're adjusting the ways you communicate or your mental outlook, bringing benefits your way. You close the year feeling inspired and positive about what the future might hold.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
December 2022 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 9th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From December 9th forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until December 6th:
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 December 6th 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.
Mercury is retrograde from December 29th to January 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in your solar fifth house during this period, enthusiasm for romance or creative project could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. A relationship with a lover or a child could become more complicated or possibly exhausting. Desires can be hard to read for existing relationships - both yours and those of a lover. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you've been pursuing in love, and a new approach becomes necessary. There could be waning interest in a hobby or a return to an old one. Some of you could be excessively preoccupied with a love relationship. New initiatives with fifth house matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in fifth house areas of life--creativity self-expression, recreation, children, and romance. Caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident, or you could lack motivation now. Watch for pent-up anger, frustration, and passive-aggressiveness with a lover or with your children, if applicable. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
December 2022 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
December 2022 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From December 12th forward:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention.

This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
From the 1st to 25th:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
From December 26th forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness.

Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in your solar fourth house during this period, household projects may slow down or stall. Repairs may need to be done, or circumstances are such that living conditions seem unstable or in need of review. Perhaps the enthusiasm that you have been building for work around the house is lessening. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, or you feel that this position is no longer in your hands, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may get worked up about old problems or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. It's time to review how you have been handling your assertiveness on the home front and with family.

Confidence is also building in your ability to make the living you want or attract the right resources. You're putting more faith in your intuition with business and financial matters. A money matter that was in limbo may now release and progress forward.
There can be some challenges centering around friends, lovers, or creative projects. Ironing out problems can be complicated this month with the continuing retrograde of Mars, particularly when it involves others' issues. Some introspection is in order, and a more mature look at others and your own relationship needs can empower you.
The Full Moon on the 7th excites your senses. It's a time to celebrate the fun or playful side of your life. Revelations about how you feel about a person or pursuit can come and, in many ways, define your attitude and approach to life in the week following. A review of recent choices or endeavors seems important before you regain motivation.
As the month advances, a stronger need to get extra rest and time to yourself emerges. You can be a little more insular. Mercury and Venus are the first to move into your soul and private sector on the 6th and 9th, with the Sun following suit on the 21st. These ingresses point to a building need for an escape from the standard routine, healing and rest, attention to mental health, personal reflection, or a focus on background matters in your life. Ideally, you take extra time to come to conclusions and consider paths you can leave behind you. These transits can stir up issues that were swept under the carpet.
Opportunities to connect with neglected needs are plenty, so take advantage! Mercury's retrograde in this area begins on the 29th and points to a need to review, reflect, and perhaps redo or return to old projects and ideas. There are lessons and possibly a few gems involved with this backtracking.
While the ruler of your communications sector, Mars, will remain retrograde until January, there are signs of forward progress. For one, Jupiter enters this sector, and it's an excellent period for building up your skills until mid-May. You're excited to learn new things and share your ideas and interests. With Chiron turning direct in the same area of your solar chart, you're adjusting the ways you communicate or your mental outlook, bringing benefits your way. You close the year feeling inspired and positive about what the future might hold.

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.
