Overview for this Month: Taurus (All)
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:
Relationship dynamics are in stronger focus this month, dear Taurus. You're in a strong position for observation, strategy, investigation, and research. A passion project or special relationship can consume much of your attention. Your chart has much activity with shared finances, emotional and financial support, and intimate matters. It's an excellent period for resolving to clear up debts or otherwise improving your financial state.
Generally, it's a better time for strategy and planning. While the month's energies shift from inward to outward as it progresses, your ruler, Venus, turns retrograde on the 19th, and there can be some areas of your life in limbo. Special projects or the need/desire to pour a lot of energy into something important to you can figure strongly in December.
Financial new beginnings may be in store after the Solar Eclipse on the 4th, and doors might open to you for following a passion. It can empower you to make lifestyle or psychological changes. You might take charge of your finances, particularly money shared with others or coming from other sources than your income.
Getting more organized can help reduce the stress that comes from avoiding or overlooking the facts of a situation, mainly related to money, resources, and capabilities.
December can also bring stronger energy for connecting with a partner and perhaps some drama to your personal life. This month, Mars in your partnership and then intimacy sectors can certainly heat up and animate your closest relationships. This period favors confronting problems head-on with direct and assertive Mars involved.
Mars moving into your intimacy sector on the 13th extends the focus on intimacy, shared resources, joint finances, debts owed and due, personal power, and power dynamics in a close relationship. It can be a stellar period for applying strategy to your life, particularly about pursuing your desires or going after what you want. You can be very sensitive to the give-and-take side of a relationship at this time. Watch for the magnification of problem areas, particularly related to trust/suspicion. Otherwise, find constructive activities you love doing and pour your energy into them.
Around the Full Moon on the 18th, a whirlwind of activity surrounding money matters is possible. There can be a tug of war, whether it's within yourself or with someone, over money, possessions, and matters of control. Whatever emerges at this time can prompt a change for the better.
Venus turns retrograde on the 19th, and there can be some confusion or backtracking. Past relationships or people from your past might resurface in your life, complicating the present, or current relationships may require some redesigning. It's an excellent period for reworking your finances, but take your time when it comes to major decision-making.
Indecision is pronounced as you can be more concerned with weighing your options, but this slowdown helps you out, pacing you. You're conserving some of your energy and more inclined to formulate plans and strategies. With Venus retrograde affecting your communication and transportation sector, there can be delays and changes of heart. You can be questioning the pleasure factor of current interests and activities. It's a time for discovering what you truly want and need, and there can be some unrest until you see the light.
Experiences that broaden your horizons are in high focus in the last week of the month. You're coming out of your shell, excited for new experiences that take you out of your routine.
You crave more interactivity with Mercury (on the 13th) and the Sun (on the 21st) heading into your spirit sector. These transits help ease self-expression and smooth out communications, which is helpful with Venus retrograde in the same area of your solar chart. You may feel inspired by an idea or learn something that excites you and positively impacts future projects. Your aspirations and ideals are driving forces in your life.
A new perspective can see you redefining some of your beliefs, ideals, goals, and dreams. It's important to keep conversations on a light level or to take extra time to process your feelings before making bigger decisions. With Venus retrograde, there is likely more to the story of your feelings and satisfaction levels, so while your assessments are valid, things need to evolve further before you truly make sense of them.
Jupiter moves into your friendship sector on the 28th, and will continue there until May 10th, helping you find more joy and satisfaction in your social life.

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:
December 2021 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From December 21st forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
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 eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills.
This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
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 solar ninth house of faith and adventure. An argument over personal philosophies of life can get you into hot water, or you could be reassessing your faith, during this cycle.
It may be that your larger, broader plans and visions don't satisfy you very much these days. This is a cycle during which you might redefine these visions. An old lover might resurface in your life, complicating the present.
With Venus as your ruler, you are especially sensitive to all of the Venus Retrograde issues described above. Venus also rules your work and health sector, and the desire for satisfaction and warm relations on the job is likely strong now but hard to get. This is an excellent period for reworking your finances. Take your time when it comes to major decision making.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From the 13th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From the 13th:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:
December 2021 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Until the 19th:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
From the 20th forward:

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) AND Taurus Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:
December 2021 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From December 11th forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar seventh house, suggesting a new approach to dealing with others is in order. A new set-up in existing partnerships or a new relationship altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your one-to-one relationship skills.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on. You may also begin a consulting position or you could enjoy an increase in clients if you already work with people one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
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 solar ninth house of faith and adventure. An argument over personal philosophies of life can get you into hot water, or you could be reassessing your faith, during this cycle.
It may be that your larger, broader plans and visions don't satisfy you very much these days. This is a cycle during which you might redefine these visions. An old lover might resurface in your life, complicating the present.
With Venus as your ruler, you are especially sensitive to all of the Venus Retrograde issues described above. Venus also rules your work and health sector, and the desire for satisfaction and warm relations on the job is likely strong now but hard to get. This is an excellent period for reworking your finances. Take your time when it comes to major decision making.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From the 7-26:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
From the 26th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:
Relationship dynamics are in stronger focus this month, dear Taurus. You're in a strong position for observation, strategy, investigation, and research. A passion project or special relationship can consume much of your attention. Your chart has much activity with shared finances, emotional and financial support, and intimate matters. It's an excellent period for resolving to clear up debts or otherwise improving your financial state.
Generally, it's a better time for strategy and planning. While the month's energies shift from inward to outward as it progresses, your ruler, Venus, turns retrograde on the 19th, and there can be some areas of your life in limbo. Special projects or the need/desire to pour a lot of energy into something important to you can figure strongly in December.
Financial new beginnings may be in store after the Solar Eclipse on the 4th, and doors might open to you for following a passion. It can empower you to make lifestyle or psychological changes. You might take charge of your finances, particularly money shared with others or coming from other sources than your income.
Getting more organized can help reduce the stress that comes from avoiding or overlooking the facts of a situation, mainly related to money, resources, and capabilities.
December can also bring stronger energy for connecting with a partner and perhaps some drama to your personal life. This month, Mars in your partnership and then intimacy sectors can certainly heat up and animate your closest relationships. This period favors confronting problems head-on with direct and assertive Mars involved.
Mars moving into your intimacy sector on the 13th extends the focus on intimacy, shared resources, joint finances, debts owed and due, personal power, and power dynamics in a close relationship. It can be a stellar period for applying strategy to your life, particularly about pursuing your desires or going after what you want. You can be very sensitive to the give-and-take side of a relationship at this time. Watch for the magnification of problem areas, particularly related to trust/suspicion. Otherwise, find constructive activities you love doing and pour your energy into them.
Around the Full Moon on the 18th, a whirlwind of activity surrounding money matters is possible. There can be a tug of war, whether it's within yourself or with someone, over money, possessions, and matters of control. Whatever emerges at this time can prompt a change for the better.
Venus turns retrograde on the 19th, and there can be some confusion or backtracking. Past relationships or people from your past might resurface in your life, complicating the present, or current relationships may require some redesigning. It's an excellent period for reworking your finances, but take your time when it comes to major decision-making.
Indecision is pronounced as you can be more concerned with weighing your options, but this slowdown helps you out, pacing you. You're conserving some of your energy and more inclined to formulate plans and strategies. With Venus retrograde affecting your communication and transportation sector, there can be delays and changes of heart. You can be questioning the pleasure factor of current interests and activities. It's a time for discovering what you truly want and need, and there can be some unrest until you see the light.
Experiences that broaden your horizons are in high focus in the last week of the month. You're coming out of your shell, excited for new experiences that take you out of your routine.
You crave more interactivity with Mercury (on the 13th) and the Sun (on the 21st) heading into your spirit sector. These transits help ease self-expression and smooth out communications, which is helpful with Venus retrograde in the same area of your solar chart. You may feel inspired by an idea or learn something that excites you and positively impacts future projects. Your aspirations and ideals are driving forces in your life.
A new perspective can see you redefining some of your beliefs, ideals, goals, and dreams. It's important to keep conversations on a light level or to take extra time to process your feelings before making bigger decisions. With Venus retrograde, there is likely more to the story of your feelings and satisfaction levels, so while your assessments are valid, things need to evolve further before you truly make sense of them.
Jupiter moves into your friendship sector on the 28th, and will continue there until May 10th, helping you find more joy and satisfaction in your social life.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t 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 horoscopes are divided into three groups or decans, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts! For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces
