Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
December 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
December is a busy month for you, dear Libra. You'll have plenty on your to-do list, but you may need to cut down that list to gain some peace of mind. While there can be some hectic energy, it can be a pleasant month with a lot to learn. A mental connection with someone is most important to you now.
Enthusiasm for learning brings you rewards this month, and your mind is especially sharp, but at times overtaxed - you may need to remind yourself of your limits. After all, decision-making can suffer with too many things on your mind.
People may be seeking out your words of wisdom, and when you feel needed this way, you are at your best. On another level, this can be a magical time for a new study, project, or personal interest. Connecting, learning, and sharing are in favor.
You're also turning a corner and feeling better about your efforts to improve your work, health, and daily routines. It's a time to renew your faith in what you do or in the idea that more meaningfulness is to come.
You're picking up a real variety of information, and you see the value of making small improvements to your life on emotional, mental, and physical levels.
The Full Moon in your adventure sector on the 7th is eye-opening. A project or pursuit can blossom now, or you may recognize the need to get away from it all and take a break from the usual routine. Be choosy about what you take on now, however, since Mars is retrograde in the same area of your solar chart. It's best to fight impatience and instead take the time to feel, learn about, and understand your desires and drives. Frustration can center on intellectual planes, so do watch for speaking prematurely or making too much of a matter.
Even so, the prominent themes in your chart for December tend to keep you closer to home. A strong focus on the solar third house suggests extra attention to your daily affairs, current projects, people close to you, and studies. As December progresses, home and family life grab more and more attention.
The last week of the month brings a more vital ability to focus and concentrate and more emphasis on home and family. In fact, this is a progressive thing--as December advances, these themes emerge.
Mercury and Venus move into your solar fourth house on the 6th and the 9th, and the Sun heads in on the 21st. These ingresses shift your attention to home and family and facilitate warmer, more easygoing, and peaceful conditions on the domestic front. There can be real opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance family relationships; on some level, you may find peace with your past and yourself. There can be inventive solutions to home-related problems and new approaches with family and loved ones.
There are treasures to be found in the past, particularly after the 29th when Mercury turns retrograde in this area of your chart. Some projects or ideas may go on a shelf. Delays are possible, and pacing yourself makes sense now.
Jupiter moves back into your partnership sector, where it will stay until mid-May. This influence can boost close relationships or connect you with helpful people. Because Mars, the ruler of your partnership sector, is currently retrograde, you may not feel the good vibes full-on just yet. However, resolutions are in the works for long-standing problems.
Further, Chiron turns direct in this area of your solar chart, and you're in a more active position to deal with complicated feelings--you're more willing to face them and sort them out. You may be able to get to the bottom of an issue that was previously confusing. It's time to consider ways to improve your connections with others, particularly a partner.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
December 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 9th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From December 9th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until December 6th:
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 December 6th 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.
Mercury is retrograde from December 29th to January 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
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 close partnering and negotiations because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could be waning or not as clear. A partner could seem to be less direct or hard to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your partnerships, and learn from experiences with these things.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
December 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
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.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
December 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
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 12th 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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
From the 1st to 25th:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
From December 26th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

Enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could be waning or not as clear. A partner could seem to be less direct or hard to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your partnerships, and learn from experiences with these things.
Occurring in your solar eighth house during this date range, enthusiasm for intimate and sharing matters, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. A lover or yourself may be especially intense or obsessive. Ambiguity with finances, particularly debts and shared money or resources, could dominate now. There can be the magnification of fears and phobias, unexplored desires, and addictions now. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended. You could be exploring anger and assertion over deeply buried matters, and learning to better manage your life on an emotional level.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
December is a busy month for you, dear Libra. You'll have plenty on your to-do list, but you may need to cut down that list to gain some peace of mind. While there can be some hectic energy, it can be a pleasant month with a lot to learn. A mental connection with someone is most important to you now.
Enthusiasm for learning brings you rewards this month, and your mind is especially sharp, but at times overtaxed - you may need to remind yourself of your limits. After all, decision-making can suffer with too many things on your mind.
People may be seeking out your words of wisdom, and when you feel needed this way, you are at your best. On another level, this can be a magical time for a new study, project, or personal interest. Connecting, learning, and sharing are in favor.
You're also turning a corner and feeling better about your efforts to improve your work, health, and daily routines. It's a time to renew your faith in what you do or in the idea that more meaningfulness is to come.
You're picking up a real variety of information, and you see the value of making small improvements to your life on emotional, mental, and physical levels.
The Full Moon in your adventure sector on the 7th is eye-opening. A project or pursuit can blossom now, or you may recognize the need to get away from it all and take a break from the usual routine. Be choosy about what you take on now, however, since Mars is retrograde in the same area of your solar chart. It's best to fight impatience and instead take the time to feel, learn about, and understand your desires and drives. Frustration can center on intellectual planes, so do watch for speaking prematurely or making too much of a matter.
Even so, the prominent themes in your chart for December tend to keep you closer to home. A strong focus on the solar third house suggests extra attention to your daily affairs, current projects, people close to you, and studies. As December progresses, home and family life grab more and more attention.
The last week of the month brings a more vital ability to focus and concentrate and more emphasis on home and family. In fact, this is a progressive thing--as December advances, these themes emerge.
Mercury and Venus move into your solar fourth house on the 6th and the 9th, and the Sun heads in on the 21st. These ingresses shift your attention to home and family and facilitate warmer, more easygoing, and peaceful conditions on the domestic front. There can be real opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance family relationships; on some level, you may find peace with your past and yourself. There can be inventive solutions to home-related problems and new approaches with family and loved ones.
There are treasures to be found in the past, particularly after the 29th when Mercury turns retrograde in this area of your chart. Some projects or ideas may go on a shelf. Delays are possible, and pacing yourself makes sense now.
Jupiter moves back into your partnership sector, where it will stay until mid-May. This influence can boost close relationships or connect you with helpful people. Because Mars, the ruler of your partnership sector, is currently retrograde, you may not feel the good vibes full-on just yet. However, resolutions are in the works for long-standing problems.
Further, Chiron turns direct in this area of your solar chart, and you're in a more active position to deal with complicated feelings--you're more willing to face them and sort them out. You may be able to get to the bottom of an issue that was previously confusing. It's time to consider ways to improve your connections with others, particularly a partner.

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.
