Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
Work is improving and possibly even exciting in December, dear Gemini, but it's your social life, especially a one-to-one relationship, that's capturing most of your attention. With current transits, the cooperation of others helps you achieve your goals. Love requires work and understanding this month, and you're ready and willing. Being adaptable to changing situations is the primary key to success right now.
While other people in your life tend to take center stage, you're keeping busy and attentive. It's an excellent time to complete projects that you've recently had difficulties finishing. Enjoy the motivation, but aim to pace yourself. Wanting to get your work done and seeking non-routine experiences are both genuine and insistent needs, but overdoing both can only lead to exhaustion.
Neptune’s direct turn can help unblock a career matter, direction, goal, or significant project. If you’ve been on the fence about a path to take, you’ll begin to move in the right direction intuitively. You are open to new insights and understanding, and you can be pretty pleased with your work and the things you’ve accomplished.
The Solar Eclipse on the 4th is the final one in a set of eclipses that have been very personal for you. It brings a surge of energy for taking charge of your relationships. It can be a final push to make decisions about partnerships. The path is clear for new beginnings in a relationship, although some reflection is in order before outward progress is realized with an upcoming retrograde of Venus.
Mars moves into opposition with your sign on the 13th, and this can serve to stir up passions, not always comfortably. A relationship or partner could be reflecting your own desire for action. There can be a lot of activity in the relationship department or your social life.
Close relationships and partnerships can be demanding, and changes are a must. Counseling, organizing, negotiating, and networking can be in focus. Turning to others for feedback or sharing the load can be beneficial. People in your life, particularly those closest to you, have much to show you about the direction you need to take, even if this happens indirectly. Through your interactions and conversations, you learn more about your next steps.
Terrific opportunities to work with someone towards a common goal can emerge. Someone's confidence in you can help give you a boost. Or, this can be a time for attracting a reliable, competent, and loyal person into your life.
The Full Moon on the 18th occurs in your sign, stirring an important personal revelation. It puts your emotions on your sleeve and you in the spotlight – you are in demand! You can awaken to strong feelings that you haven’t yet acknowledged. Even with a relationship-focused cycle in force, you’re connecting with your needs for independence, a voice, or personal time.
While the extra attention you've been giving other people in your life these days is positive and beneficial, if you overdo it, you will fail to recognize your own needs and desires fully. The Full Moon now gives you the license to self-nurture.
Be careful not to hook yourself to something unless your heart is truly into it, and consider that Venus turns retrograde on the 19th, and it becomes a real process to learn what you want!
From the 19th, retrograde Venus suggests the need to review your connections, finances (especially joint or shared), and romantic life. You might use this time to review past purchases or handle financial matters that you have put off. You may be on the fence about a relationship, or you could have some difficulty getting in touch with your desires.
The Venus retrograde period from December 19-January 29 can pull up some questioning of the pleasure factor in your intimate life. It’s a time for discovering what you truly want and need, and there can be some unrest until you see the light. This can happen in your financial life, in a close relationship, or with passion projects and absorbing activities.
Helping with this is Chiron's direct turn in your social sector on the 19th. Friendships or group associations seem more robust, and you’re more influential and charming with others, in general. There can be some conflicts to deal with before you can move forward with a clean slate, but you’re up for the task.
Relationships can be especially fascinating, exotic, dramatic, or intimate towards the end of the month. Or, the desire to specialize and pour special attention into one particular connection or project drives you. Better relationships can be a powerful motivator for self-improvement.
Mercury moves into your intimacy sector on the 13th, and then the Sun follows suit on the 21st, pointing to the need to intensify your energies. These shifts point to a growing interest in the hidden elements of your life. You pick up a lot more from your environment than usual, seeing motives, subtleties, and power dynamics more clearly. It’s harder to break your concentration as you are far less sensitive to potential distractions. With this focus, you can move mountains.
It can also be a good time for figuring out something about yourself – a buried desire or motivation, for example. You might uncover something missing, lost, or hidden.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
December 2021 Gemini 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 seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
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 seventh house, suggesting a new approach to dealing with others is in order. A new set-up in existing partnerships or a new relationship altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your one-to-one relationship skills.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on. You may also begin a consulting position or you could enjoy an increase in clients if you already work with people one-on-one.
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.
For the most part, this Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your solar eighth house of intimacy, shared resources, and personal transformation. Hold onto your money, work on a budget, and avoid arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. A disagreement over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. What you say now can have annoying ramifications.
You may find it hard to feel supported by others, and your intimate life may seem superficial or even strained. You might use this time to review past purchases or to handle financial matters such as taxes that you have put off (or it may be necessary to do so). It can be a strong time for finding a good buy. It's a fine time for review and reassessment.
Because Venus rules your romance sector, don't jump to conclusions if a lover is acting a little distant. Wait it out. Venus also rules your twelfth house, and your desires from love and relationship may be hard to figure out for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From the 13th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.
From the 13th:
Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

December 2021 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 19th:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
From the 20th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
December 2021 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From December 11th forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".

Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
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 sixth house, suggesting a new approach to work or health is in order. A new set-up in existing jobs or a new job altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your daily activities, health routines, and attention to practical matters.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the daily routines that keep you organized and of your own health.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
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.
For the most part, this Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your solar eighth house of intimacy, shared resources, and personal transformation. Hold onto your money, work on a budget, and avoid arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. A disagreement over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. What you say now can have annoying ramifications.
You may find it hard to feel supported by others, and your intimate life may seem superficial or even strained. You might use this time to review past purchases or to handle financial matters such as taxes that you have put off (or it may be necessary to do so). It can be a strong time for finding a good buy. It's a fine time for review and reassessment.
Because Venus rules your romance sector, don't jump to conclusions if a lover is acting a little distant. Wait it out. Venus also rules your twelfth house, and your desires from love and relationship may be hard to figure out for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
From the 7-26:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
From the 26th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
Work is improving and possibly even exciting in December, dear Gemini, but it's your social life, especially a one-to-one relationship, that's capturing most of your attention. With current transits, the cooperation of others helps you achieve your goals. Love requires work and understanding this month, and you're ready and willing. Being adaptable to changing situations is the primary key to success right now.
While other people in your life tend to take center stage, you're keeping busy and attentive. It's an excellent time to complete projects that you've recently had difficulties finishing. Enjoy the motivation, but aim to pace yourself. Wanting to get your work done and seeking non-routine experiences are both genuine and insistent needs, but overdoing both can only lead to exhaustion.
Neptune’s direct turn can help unblock a career matter, direction, goal, or significant project. If you’ve been on the fence about a path to take, you’ll begin to move in the right direction intuitively. You are open to new insights and understanding, and you can be pretty pleased with your work and the things you’ve accomplished.
The Solar Eclipse on the 4th is the final one in a set of eclipses that have been very personal for you. It brings a surge of energy for taking charge of your relationships. It can be a final push to make decisions about partnerships. The path is clear for new beginnings in a relationship, although some reflection is in order before outward progress is realized with an upcoming retrograde of Venus.
Mars moves into opposition with your sign on the 13th, and this can serve to stir up passions, not always comfortably. A relationship or partner could be reflecting your own desire for action. There can be a lot of activity in the relationship department or your social life.
Close relationships and partnerships can be demanding, and changes are a must. Counseling, organizing, negotiating, and networking can be in focus. Turning to others for feedback or sharing the load can be beneficial. People in your life, particularly those closest to you, have much to show you about the direction you need to take, even if this happens indirectly. Through your interactions and conversations, you learn more about your next steps.
Terrific opportunities to work with someone towards a common goal can emerge. Someone's confidence in you can help give you a boost. Or, this can be a time for attracting a reliable, competent, and loyal person into your life.
The Full Moon on the 18th occurs in your sign, stirring an important personal revelation. It puts your emotions on your sleeve and you in the spotlight – you are in demand! You can awaken to strong feelings that you haven’t yet acknowledged. Even with a relationship-focused cycle in force, you’re connecting with your needs for independence, a voice, or personal time.
While the extra attention you've been giving other people in your life these days is positive and beneficial, if you overdo it, you will fail to recognize your own needs and desires fully. The Full Moon now gives you the license to self-nurture.
Be careful not to hook yourself to something unless your heart is truly into it, and consider that Venus turns retrograde on the 19th, and it becomes a real process to learn what you want!
From the 19th, retrograde Venus suggests the need to review your connections, finances (especially joint or shared), and romantic life. You might use this time to review past purchases or handle financial matters that you have put off. You may be on the fence about a relationship, or you could have some difficulty getting in touch with your desires.
The Venus retrograde period from December 19-January 29 can pull up some questioning of the pleasure factor in your intimate life. It’s a time for discovering what you truly want and need, and there can be some unrest until you see the light. This can happen in your financial life, in a close relationship, or with passion projects and absorbing activities.
Helping with this is Chiron's direct turn in your social sector on the 19th. Friendships or group associations seem more robust, and you’re more influential and charming with others, in general. There can be some conflicts to deal with before you can move forward with a clean slate, but you’re up for the task.
Relationships can be especially fascinating, exotic, dramatic, or intimate towards the end of the month. Or, the desire to specialize and pour special attention into one particular connection or project drives you. Better relationships can be a powerful motivator for self-improvement.
Mercury moves into your intimacy sector on the 13th, and then the Sun follows suit on the 21st, pointing to the need to intensify your energies. These shifts point to a growing interest in the hidden elements of your life. You pick up a lot more from your environment than usual, seeing motives, subtleties, and power dynamics more clearly. It’s harder to break your concentration as you are far less sensitive to potential distractions. With this focus, you can move mountains.
It can also be a good time for figuring out something about yourself – a buried desire or motivation, for example. You might uncover something missing, lost, or hidden.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change as 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, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
