Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
December is excellent for learning endeavors, communications, and generally getting your message across, dear Libra. Your ideas are well-received, not only because they have merit, but also because you are delivering them eloquently.
With a strong focus on your communications sector, the month is also a busy one for you. Others seem to demand more of your attention than usual, and the pace of your life is hectic at times. The Solar Eclipse on the 4th motivates you to focus on special interests or studies. It might push a decision to begin a new course or end a particular pursuit or project to clear the path for a new one.
The need for new beginnings on the lines of communicating, learning, and commuting can become apparent. Sometimes systems break down and force new ways of doing things. New worlds can open up as you move through the world just a little differently and discover new channels for expressing yourself and connecting with others.
You can feel better about your efforts to improve your work, health, and daily routines. Instead of repeating old patterns that keep you in a rut, you’re trying different approaches.
You’re likely to find much to do, and your interests are many this month! With plenty of items on your “to-do” list, tension is entirely possible at times. For the most part, however, you’re enjoying the activity. You’re particularly motivated to learn, communicate, and connect, especially after the 13th when Mars heads into your solar third house. This influence can excite your mind, animate your daily life, and stimulate your nervous system at times! Tame impatience, and you’ll find this period excellent for discovering your intellectual passions and finding the courage to speak about what’s important to you. The last week of the month should be more peaceful. Until then, your curiosity leads the way to a variety of experiences.
Learning and communicating are strong themes, and you’re especially enthusiastic and motivated in these areas. Watch for being too hasty or impatient with these things, however. You can quickly make a lot of headway, but you may also overlook something or make errors in a rush to produce or get to where you want to go.
The month can be hectic in spots, but it can also be enriching if you can pace yourself. It’s an excellent time to better your skills. Friends are in your corner, and you are affectionate and generous with them. Still, you're seeking more practicality, comfort, and security in your social or love life. Feelings settle, and you consider ways to make your life more comfortable.
Around the 18th, word on an application, interview, or educational matter could arrive. Your mind may be working overtime, or you could be facing some lack of inspiration. You may feel overwhelmed with activities, which can be a signal to slow things down. It awakens your faith and needs for spirit-refreshing experiences.
However, Venus retrogrades from the 19th forward, pointing to some stalling or revisiting of the past. You might be a little more withdrawn and indecisive. Relations with family can be complicated and require more sensitive care.
While Venus is retrograde from December 19-January 29, you could experience some slowdowns, creative blocks, or frustrations with your current state of affairs. Aim to take things one day at a time. Workarounds to discontent can lead to massive improvements. Personal revelations or memories can have the effect of nudging you along a positive path. Simple, thoughtful gestures help improve your relations, perhaps helping to cement bonds.
A shift of focus toward home and family life occurs as the month advances. Your increased attention to domestic matters motivates you to improve your living conditions.
With Mercury and the Sun moving into your home and family sector on the 13th and 21st, you begin to crave more downtime and comfort. More frequent discussions and thoughts about family, domestic life, your support system, roots, and the past can start to figure strongly. Activity increases in your home, and this can include work or learning and study. Soothe yourself with the familiar and aim to shore yourself up.
Jupiter moves into your solar sixth house on the 28th, and until May 10th, your motivation to improve your health, daily habits, work, and routines increases. Finding more joy and satisfaction from your daily affairs can figure strongly during this period. You might find new meaning in your work or duties.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
December 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From December 21st forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
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 third house, suggesting a new approach to communications projects, learning, or self-expression.
A new position in the neighborhood, relocation, or increased interaction with others may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle your daily activities.
This is a phase in which you have an increased awareness of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
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 fourth house of home and family. Relations with your family may be a little strained. You might want to wait until Venus is direct before you express your frustrations with family members! What you say now may be costly.
Furthermore, if you take the time to think about things, your approach to dealing with these issues later (after the retrograde) is likely to be much more productive.
The desire or need for warm relations with family members, or for support and a feeling of security, is especially strong but the path to satisfaction may be hard to find just now. This is a great time to think about how to improve your home, but not necessarily for going forward with entirely new projects.
You are ruled by Venus, and you are likely to be more withdrawn than usual, which can be a source of concern for your lover. People from the past may resurface either physically or simply coming to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now. Your eighth house of shared resources and intimacy is Venus-ruled as well, and you might find your intimate life leaves you wanting, and that it's hard to find emotional (and financial) support when you need it most.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
From the 13th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From the 13th:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
December 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 19th:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
December 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From December 11th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
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 second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income.
A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
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.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your fourth house of home and family. Relations with your family may be a little strained. You might want to wait until Venus is direct before you express your frustrations with family members! What you say now may be costly.
Furthermore, if you take the time to think about things, your approach to dealing with these issues later (after the retrograde) is likely to be much more productive.
The desire or need for warm relations with family members, or for support and a feeling of security, is especially strong but the path to satisfaction may be hard to find just now. This is a great time to think about how to improve your home, but not necessarily for going forward with entirely new projects.
You are ruled by Venus, and you are likely to be more withdrawn than usual, which can be a source of concern for your lover. People from the past may resurface either physically or simply coming to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now. Your eighth house of shared resources and intimacy is Venus-ruled as well, and you might find your intimate life leaves you wanting, and that it's hard to find emotional (and financial) support when you need it most.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From the 7-26:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
From the 26th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
December is excellent for learning endeavors, communications, and generally getting your message across, dear Libra. Your ideas are well-received, not only because they have merit, but also because you are delivering them eloquently.
With a strong focus on your communications sector, the month is also a busy one for you. Others seem to demand more of your attention than usual, and the pace of your life is hectic at times. The Solar Eclipse on the 4th motivates you to focus on special interests or studies. It might push a decision to begin a new course or end a particular pursuit or project to clear the path for a new one.
The need for new beginnings on the lines of communicating, learning, and commuting can become apparent. Sometimes systems break down and force new ways of doing things. New worlds can open up as you move through the world just a little differently and discover new channels for expressing yourself and connecting with others.
You can feel better about your efforts to improve your work, health, and daily routines. Instead of repeating old patterns that keep you in a rut, you’re trying different approaches.
You’re likely to find much to do, and your interests are many this month! With plenty of items on your “to-do” list, tension is entirely possible at times. For the most part, however, you’re enjoying the activity. You’re particularly motivated to learn, communicate, and connect, especially after the 13th when Mars heads into your solar third house. This influence can excite your mind, animate your daily life, and stimulate your nervous system at times! Tame impatience, and you’ll find this period excellent for discovering your intellectual passions and finding the courage to speak about what’s important to you. The last week of the month should be more peaceful. Until then, your curiosity leads the way to a variety of experiences.
Learning and communicating are strong themes, and you’re especially enthusiastic and motivated in these areas. Watch for being too hasty or impatient with these things, however. You can quickly make a lot of headway, but you may also overlook something or make errors in a rush to produce or get to where you want to go.
The month can be hectic in spots, but it can also be enriching if you can pace yourself. It’s an excellent time to better your skills. Friends are in your corner, and you are affectionate and generous with them. Still, you're seeking more practicality, comfort, and security in your social or love life. Feelings settle, and you consider ways to make your life more comfortable.
Around the 18th, word on an application, interview, or educational matter could arrive. Your mind may be working overtime, or you could be facing some lack of inspiration. You may feel overwhelmed with activities, which can be a signal to slow things down. It awakens your faith and needs for spirit-refreshing experiences.
However, Venus retrogrades from the 19th forward, pointing to some stalling or revisiting of the past. You might be a little more withdrawn and indecisive. Relations with family can be complicated and require more sensitive care.
While Venus is retrograde from December 19-January 29, you could experience some slowdowns, creative blocks, or frustrations with your current state of affairs. Aim to take things one day at a time. Workarounds to discontent can lead to massive improvements. Personal revelations or memories can have the effect of nudging you along a positive path. Simple, thoughtful gestures help improve your relations, perhaps helping to cement bonds.
A shift of focus toward home and family life occurs as the month advances. Your increased attention to domestic matters motivates you to improve your living conditions.
With Mercury and the Sun moving into your home and family sector on the 13th and 21st, you begin to crave more downtime and comfort. More frequent discussions and thoughts about family, domestic life, your support system, roots, and the past can start to figure strongly. Activity increases in your home, and this can include work or learning and study. Soothe yourself with the familiar and aim to shore yourself up.
Jupiter moves into your solar sixth house on the 28th, and until May 10th, your motivation to improve your health, daily habits, work, and routines increases. Finding more joy and satisfaction from your daily affairs can figure strongly during this period. You might find new meaning in your work or duties.

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. 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.
