Overview for this Month: Virgo (All)
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
Home and family life are in stronger focus this month, dear Virgo. You gravitate to projects and activities that have longevity and special meaning. Your attention to domestic concerns runs high this month, although romantic matters also figure strongly.
A new start with family, home life, or living conditions and arrangements is possible. The Solar Eclipse on the 4th pushes you to honor your need for comfort, safety, love, nurturing, and familiarity. Changes in the organization of your home or with family members may be in order.
This is the last eclipse in a set falling along your career-home axis, and it's about achieving a better balance in your life. There can be new schedules and long-term projects coming into play in your life in the coming weeks and months. It's time to make changes that benefit both family and home life and your career.
If you want to improve home life, domestic routines, family relationships, or even your relationship with your inner self, this is the month for doing so. You're likely to feel the need regardless of whether you plan it or not, and it's about taking charge of your personal life. The changes you make, of course, will affect all areas of your life, as the sector of your chart that's in focus now is all about roots.
With Mars in your communications sector until the 13th, avoid pushing too hard, but allow yourself to cross the usual thresholds, as you can make great strides with honesty combined with respect and concern. You're excited about what you're learning and doing, and this kind of enthusiasm can take you places.
Mars heads into your home sector on the 13th, bringing further attention to your personal life. Renovations, redecorating, or improvements that encourage more freedom or comfort on the home front can have long-lasting benefits. There can be some tension or pressure in these areas, but also dynamism and solutions to problems. With much energy available to you now, it's time to take charge of domestic matters. However, challenges can arise if excess energy turns into restlessness and conflict.
Aim to enjoy extra time spent improving your home life and consider ways to enhance your feelings of security and comfort. With Mars challenging your sign, you may need to work a little harder to achieve your goals in the coming weeks, but pushing through obstacles can be satisfying.
Around the Full Moon on the 18th, career or public attention may come your way. You might awaken to feelings of what you want to do or realize that you should get your priorities clear. It's best to aim for a balance. This lunation can bring a project to a head and a sudden need to attend to business. It can challenge your excuses to stay out of the limelight or to avoid specific responsibilities! There has been a beneficial focus on your home and family life these days, but going too far with it means the benefits begin to drop off.
Also around this time, problems with debts, loans, or financial support seem easier to resolve and more straightforward.
Even so, Venus is retrograde from December 19th forward, which can pull your attention to the past. Because it occurs in your sector of joy, romance, and pleasure, past loves may reappear in your life or become a focal point. You could feel a little hung up emotionally. A current romantic interest may be difficult to read. Consider that it's easy to undervalue or overvalue someone or something during this cycle. You could find it hard to derive satisfaction from your romantic and creative activities temporarily, and it's best to watch for overcompensating.
Venus is retrograde from December 19-January 29, and it can be a time to rethink pastimes or pleasure-seeking activities and creative expression. You might also take this time to reassess your goals on social, romantic, or creative levels. This retrograde encourages a look back before charging ahead. You might learn something new about a previous relationship or your feelings.
As the month advances, you begin to crave more interaction and feedback. A subtle shift of focus to more creative, sociable, and pleasure-seeking activities happens this month and strengthens after the 21st. Opportunities to enjoy and express yourself emerge. Ideally, you've done some anchoring and centering, and you're now feeling a little more confident to share yourself. Activities through which you can have fun, impress, create, and share are a strong draw.

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) AND Virgo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Virgo:
December 2021 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
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 fourth house, suggesting a new approach to domestic affairs, home, and family. A new set-up in an existing home or a new home altogether may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your domestic routines, comfort, and feeling of security.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for a solid foundation--a place to return to when the rest of the world is getting on your nerves.
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 fifth house of romance, pleasure, speculation, and children. Because the cycle directly affects your sector of romance and speculation, you should be especially wary of jumping into arguments with a lover and taking risks with gambling.
You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don't need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn't jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space either. It can be hard to derive satisfaction from your romantic and creative activities for the time being. An old lover may resurface in your life, complicating matters.
Venus rules your money and possessions sector, as well as your ninth house of adventure and discovery. Watch for impulsive spending.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From the 13th forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 13th:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

December 2021 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 19th:
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.

December 2021 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
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 11th 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.

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.

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 fifth house of romance, pleasure, speculation, and children. Because the cycle directly affects your sector of romance and speculation, you should be especially wary of jumping into arguments with a lover and taking risks with gambling.
You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don't need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn't jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space either. It can be hard to derive satisfaction from your romantic and creative activities for the time being. An old lover may resurface in your life, complicating matters.
Venus rules your money and possessions sector, as well as your ninth house of adventure and discovery. Watch for impulsive spending.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
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 7-26:
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.
From the 26th forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
Overview Horoscope:
December 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
Home and family life are in stronger focus this month, dear Virgo. You gravitate to projects and activities that have longevity and special meaning. Your attention to domestic concerns runs high this month, although romantic matters also figure strongly.
A new start with family, home life, or living conditions and arrangements is possible. The Solar Eclipse on the 4th pushes you to honor your need for comfort, safety, love, nurturing, and familiarity. Changes in the organization of your home or with family members may be in order.
This is the last eclipse in a set falling along your career-home axis, and it's about achieving a better balance in your life. There can be new schedules and long-term projects coming into play in your life in the coming weeks and months. It's time to make changes that benefit both family and home life and your career.
If you want to improve home life, domestic routines, family relationships, or even your relationship with your inner self, this is the month for doing so. You're likely to feel the need regardless of whether you plan it or not, and it's about taking charge of your personal life. The changes you make, of course, will affect all areas of your life, as the sector of your chart that's in focus now is all about roots.
With Mars in your communications sector until the 13th, avoid pushing too hard, but allow yourself to cross the usual thresholds, as you can make great strides with honesty combined with respect and concern. You're excited about what you're learning and doing, and this kind of enthusiasm can take you places.
Mars heads into your home sector on the 13th, bringing further attention to your personal life. Renovations, redecorating, or improvements that encourage more freedom or comfort on the home front can have long-lasting benefits. There can be some tension or pressure in these areas, but also dynamism and solutions to problems. With much energy available to you now, it's time to take charge of domestic matters. However, challenges can arise if excess energy turns into restlessness and conflict.
Aim to enjoy extra time spent improving your home life and consider ways to enhance your feelings of security and comfort. With Mars challenging your sign, you may need to work a little harder to achieve your goals in the coming weeks, but pushing through obstacles can be satisfying.
Around the Full Moon on the 18th, career or public attention may come your way. You might awaken to feelings of what you want to do or realize that you should get your priorities clear. It's best to aim for a balance. This lunation can bring a project to a head and a sudden need to attend to business. It can challenge your excuses to stay out of the limelight or to avoid specific responsibilities! There has been a beneficial focus on your home and family life these days, but going too far with it means the benefits begin to drop off.
Also around this time, problems with debts, loans, or financial support seem easier to resolve and more straightforward.
Even so, Venus is retrograde from December 19th forward, which can pull your attention to the past. Because it occurs in your sector of joy, romance, and pleasure, past loves may reappear in your life or become a focal point. You could feel a little hung up emotionally. A current romantic interest may be difficult to read. Consider that it's easy to undervalue or overvalue someone or something during this cycle. You could find it hard to derive satisfaction from your romantic and creative activities temporarily, and it's best to watch for overcompensating.
Venus is retrograde from December 19-January 29, and it can be a time to rethink pastimes or pleasure-seeking activities and creative expression. You might also take this time to reassess your goals on social, romantic, or creative levels. This retrograde encourages a look back before charging ahead. You might learn something new about a previous relationship or your feelings.
As the month advances, you begin to crave more interaction and feedback. A subtle shift of focus to more creative, sociable, and pleasure-seeking activities happens this month and strengthens after the 21st. Opportunities to enjoy and express yourself emerge. Ideally, you've done some anchoring and centering, and you're now feeling a little more confident to share yourself. Activities through which you can have fun, impress, create, and share are a strong draw.

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.
