Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
You're enjoying a surge of motivation and optimism this month, dear Sagittarius. The Solar Eclipse on the 4th occurs in your sign, giving you an energetic boost to put personal plans into motion, as well as to take steps to put forth the best version of "you." Still, there can be an energy drain before you rebuild your motivation.
This month, you'll often find yourself more willing to experience life to its fullest. You often attract the right people and resources, and encounters with others are more consistently working to your advantage. A partner may have an important revelation around the 18th, or you could see a relationship in a whole new light.
The main thing to watch for this month is finances, possessions, and resources in general. While there is an inclination to spend more, the retrograde of Venus in your finances sector from the 19th through to near the end of January points to a need for careful review. Take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period while avoiding major purchases until February, if possible. Otherwise, generally speaking, December is about being bold and brave and making no apologies for being yourself. This is especially the case after the 13th, as you'll then have the Solar Eclipse behind you and Mars in your sign.
The Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 4th is a powerful slate cleaner. You are ready to start fresh. Before this date, focus on review, meditation, and activities that help you purge or process and release negative energy.
You’re likely to find yourself at a turning point or experiencing a significant shift. This eclipse is part of a set that began over a year and a half ago, and you've been in touch with your personal power and independence. You’re making changes to how you approach the world, and as you do, you’ll find that you attract different experiences and people into your life. You might renew dreams, goals, and projects that you’ve put on a shelf.
Particularly avoid the 7-8 for significant launches or decisions. Watch for nervousness, stress, and pressure in your daily affairs or with learning and connecting, as these can weigh on your outlook, health, job, and chores. Unreliable routines or erratic tasks and work schedules may take their toll on you without care and management. Inattention to details can also be a problem if your approach is a little too slapdash. Otherwise, December is often strong for keeping active, enjoying a new activity, or participating in something you haven't done in a while.
Until the 13th, Mars journeys through your privacy sector, pulling up some buried frustrations. After this date, you're more definite about what needs doing, and you are more straightforward, direct, and forthright. It’s also a good period for romantic and creative attention. You can get a whole lot done during this exciting transit.
With Mars in your sign from the 13th, your independence and freedom are crucial to you. Your desire nature is potent. You may need to tone it down a little at times, but if you use this period well, you’ll have all the courage necessary to make your dreams happen. Mars fires up your confidence and brings a more aggressive approach to your world, which can do with some refining.
You'll want to move ahead with personal plans, become more active and involved, communicate, learn, and compete. Mind you, you could feel that you’re often left to your own resources or especially independent, which may or may not be welcome at this time in your life! However, certain people in your life seem to have your interests, agenda, and happiness in mind.
The Full Moon on the 18th brings a whirlwind of emotion and activity with a close partner. It can mark a turning point for a key relationship. Revelations related to relationships and relationship needs are possible, or your true feelings emerge. Whatever comes to light now is tied to brave new beginnings.
Venus turns retrograde on the 19th in your finance sector, giving you the chance to take a better look at recent projects, business ideas, purchases, and financial plans before going forward with them. This is a time for attending to unfinished matters with money or finances and issues surrounding whether others treat you as worthy and valuable. You might question your levels of comfort or your income during this cycle that lasts until January 29th. It’s an excellent period for reviewing finances, budgeting, and collecting financial information, but not ideal for buying new big-ticket items. However, if you are good at spotting deals, you could find some unusually good ones, as people may be parting with things they wouldn’t unload under normal conditions.
While you may not always feel confident and sure about your feelings during the retrograde Venus cycle, it’s an excellent period for considering how your approach to attracting what you want has served you in the past. As you examine your life in these areas, you learn how to make improvements.
Your independence and personal needs are an essential focus in your life this month. People appreciate your point of view, and communication or transportation options might open up.
As the month advances, you are entering a period when you're often preoccupied with your earning power. You’ll be busy taking charge of your finances. You see your money and possessions in a whole new way, and you might come up with creative ideas on how to earn more or use what you already have.
While December is a month of opportunity, avoid trying to “do it all” too soon and too quickly. Instead, focus on one or two options and projects. Emotionally, you’re definitely moving forward this month! It's a time for reinventing yourself.
You're likely to enjoy more clarity with living conditions, living arrangements, and relationships with family, roommates, and very close loved ones. The second half of December finds you coming out of your shell further.
Besides the Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 4th, which is a big headline of December, you have Jupiter, your planetary ruler, changing signs on the 28th. It moves into Pisces and your home and family sector, where it will transit until May 10th. You've experienced part one of this transit earlier this year, and this is part two of three. It's a strong cycle for improving your home life.
This transit inspires more interest in and enjoyment of your domestic life. You’re in a good position for repairing and enhancing family relationships, moving or renovating, and increasing your feelings of safety and comfort. You’ll also be working on building your emotional base and a general sense of being centered.
Backtracking in the last days of December can involve going over matters from the past dug up recently, particularly surrounding love, feelings, pleasure, valuables, and money. You get a second chance or look at a project, purchase, or association, and relocating a lost item is not out of the question. You are acting and communicating with more authority or decisiveness, and you could find yourself in a place to guide or teach.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
December 2021 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
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 first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself.
This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others.
However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
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 second house of money and values. As such, in addition to the general cautions associated with Venus retrograde, hold on to your money. Take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, and avoid making any big purchases until a few weeks after the retrograde. You might use this time to work on how you attract (or repel) the income you deserve.Friendships and working relationships are Venus-ruled in your chart, and special care should be exercised in these areas of life. Be patient if these matters fail to satisfy you for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
From the 13th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From the 13th:
You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.
Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
December 2021 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 19th:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
From the 20th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

You can get a whole lot done during this exciting transit.
With Mars in your sign from the 13th, your independence and freedom are crucial to you. Your desire nature is potent. You may need to tone it down a little at times, but if you use this period well, you’ll have all the courage necessary to make your dreams happen. Mars fires up your confidence and brings a more aggressive approach to your world, which can do with some refining.
You'll want to move ahead with personal plans, become more active and involved, communicate, learn, and compete. Mind you, you could feel that you’re often left to your own resources or especially independent, which may or may not be welcome at this time in your life! However, certain people in your life seem to have your interests, agenda, and happiness in mind.
The Full Moon on the 18th brings a whirlwind of emotion and activity with a close partner. It can mark a turning point for a key relationship. Revelations related to relationships and relationship needs are possible, or your true feelings emerge. Whatever comes to light now is tied to brave new beginnings.
Venus turns retrograde on the 19th in your finance sector, giving you the chance to take a better look at recent projects, business ideas, purchases, and financial plans before going forward with them. This is a time for attending to unfinished matters with money or finances and issues surrounding whether others treat you as worthy and valuable. You might question your levels of comfort or your income during this cycle that lasts until January 29th. It’s an excellent period for reviewing finances, budgeting, and collecting financial information, but not ideal for buying new big-ticket items. However, if you are good at spotting deals, you could find some unusually good ones, as people may be parting with things they wouldn’t unload under normal conditions.
While you may not always feel confident and sure about your feelings during the retrograde Venus cycle, it’s an excellent period for considering how your approach to attracting what you want has served you in the past. As you examine your life in these areas, you learn how to make improvements.
Your independence and personal needs are an essential focus in your life this month. People appreciate your point of view, and communication or transportation options might open up.
As the month advances, you are entering a period when you're often preoccupied with your earning power. You’ll be busy taking charge of your finances. You see your money and possessions in a whole new way, and you might come up with creative ideas on how to earn more or use what you already have.
While December is a month of opportunity, avoid trying to “do it all” too soon and too quickly. Instead, focus on one or two options and projects. Emotionally, you’re definitely moving forward this month! It's a time for reinventing yourself.
You're likely to enjoy more clarity with living conditions, living arrangements, and relationships with family, roommates, and very close loved ones. The second half of December finds you coming out of your shell further.
Besides the Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 4th, which is a big headline of December, you have Jupiter, your planetary ruler, changing signs on the 28th. It moves into Pisces and your home and family sector, where it will transit until May 10th. You've experienced part one of this transit earlier this year, and this is part two of three. It's a strong cycle for improving your home life.
This transit inspires more interest in and enjoyment of your domestic life. You’re in a good position for repairing and enhancing family relationships, moving or renovating, and increasing your feelings of safety and comfort. You’ll also be working on building your emotional base and a general sense of being centered.
Backtracking in the last days of December can involve going over matters from the past dug up recently, particularly surrounding love, feelings, pleasure, valuables, and money. You get a second chance or look at a project, purchase, or association, and relocating a lost item is not out of the question. You are acting and communicating with more authority or decisiveness, and you could find yourself in a place to guide or teach.

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:
December 2021 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From December 11th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
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 twelfth house. This indicates a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries".
Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. These themes will be with you for the next six months.
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 second house of money and values. As such, in addition to the general cautions associated with Venus retrograde, hold on to your money. Take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, and avoid making any big purchases until a few weeks after the retrograde. You might use this time to work on how you attract (or repel) the income you deserve.Friendships and working relationships are Venus-ruled in your chart, and special care should be exercised in these areas of life. Be patient if these matters fail to satisfy you for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From the 7-26:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
From the 26th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
You're enjoying a surge of motivation and optimism this month, dear Sagittarius. The Solar Eclipse on the 4th occurs in your sign, giving you an energetic boost to put personal plans into motion, as well as to take steps to put forth the best version of "you." Still, there can be an energy drain before you rebuild your motivation.
This month, you'll often find yourself more willing to experience life to its fullest. You often attract the right people and resources, and encounters with others are more consistently working to your advantage. A partner may have an important revelation around the 18th, or you could see a relationship in a whole new light.
The main thing to watch for this month is finances, possessions, and resources in general. While there is an inclination to spend more, the retrograde of Venus in your finances sector from the 19th through to near the end of January points to a need for careful review. Take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period while avoiding major purchases until February, if possible. Otherwise, generally speaking, December is about being bold and brave and making no apologies for being yourself. This is especially the case after the 13th, as you'll then have the Solar Eclipse behind you and Mars in your sign.
The Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 4th is a powerful slate cleaner. You are ready to start fresh. Before this date, focus on review, meditation, and activities that help you purge or process and release negative energy.
You’re likely to find yourself at a turning point or experiencing a significant shift. This eclipse is part of a set that began over a year and a half ago, and you've been in touch with your personal power and independence. You’re making changes to how you approach the world, and as you do, you’ll find that you attract different experiences and people into your life. You might renew dreams, goals, and projects that you’ve put on a shelf.
Particularly avoid the 7-8 for significant launches or decisions. Watch for nervousness, stress, and pressure in your daily affairs or with learning and connecting, as these can weigh on your outlook, health, job, and chores. Unreliable routines or erratic tasks and work schedules may take their toll on you without care and management. Inattention to details can also be a problem if your approach is a little too slapdash. Otherwise, December is often strong for keeping active, enjoying a new activity, or participating in something you haven't done in a while.
Until the 13th, Mars journeys through your privacy sector, pulling up some buried frustrations. After this date, you're more definite about what needs doing, and you are more straightforward, direct, and forthright. It’s also a good period for romantic and creative attention. You can get a whole lot done during this exciting transit.

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 a 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 reveal 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.
