Overview for this Month: Virgo (All)
December 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
Your private life gets top billing as you begin December, dear Virgo, and you can be more sentimental and nostalgic. You're ready to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere, and you feel that if things are good from the ground up, you're in the best shape. Until the 21st, your focus is strong on inner psychological growth, after which you're more interactive.
You're bringing new energy to your family or private life this month. You're also building your faith in a relationship or friendship. Focusing on the positive, beautiful, and magical qualities of life and love can be rewarding. If you've felt at the mercy of the whims and moods of others or undecided about how to improve your life regarding relationships, you'll feel a little more faithful now.
You work harder to find peace with those closest to you or make physical improvements. You are taking more pride in the functionality of your domestic world. Organizing, editing, and rearranging are in favor.
Try to avoid overdoing or overworking, as you may not always judge your energy levels accurately with the continuing retrograde of Mars. It's harder to gauge what you can manage with this transit in play. As well, motivation levels are up and down. If you've been bottling up resentful feelings, especially about your work or responsibilities, they can emerge in unexpected ways. Avoid reacting blindly to challenges and instead, consider what is important to you before taking action.
The Full Moon on the 7th can prompt you to attend to your responsibilities to the outside world, ambitions, and reputation. A reward, award, or culmination of a project can pull you out of your shell. It comes at a time when your home, family, and personal life are in sharper focus and reminds you to round out your life. You might arrive at important realizations about your work, true calling, business, career, reputation, or true feelings about your life's direction. Listen to your intuition, but take your time before acting on it.
The 6th and 9th bring Mercury and Venus into your sector of leisure, enjoyment, and heartfelt activities. The Sun will enter this area of your solar chart on the 21st, pushing these themes further. With these shifts, you're in a more expressive and playful frame of mind. You might enjoy new hobbies, creative outlets, and love interests or renewed attention to these things. Your ideas go over well, and people seek you out for your advice and your company. Hobbies and leisure pursuits can be in pleasant focus.
Mercury's retrograde from the 29th can mean backtracking in these areas of life. You may not always get the words right, but you're bound to find different channels for expressing yourself, and creative mediums seem your best bet. Brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground. It's a time for patience – working on building lasting connections and projects is highly favored.
Your sector of intimacy and shared assets is ruled by Mars, and Mars is still retrograde (until January 12th). However, Jupiter moves into this area of your solar chart this month, and it will stick around until mid-May, bringing wonderful benefits. As well, Chiron turns direct here, and you feel increasingly better equipped to deal with problems. There can be financial gain, deepened relationships or more joy in an intimate relationship, and a generally easier time attracting moral or economic support. You're connecting with your deeper needs more fully in the months ahead.

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) AND Virgo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Virgo:
December 2022 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 9th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From December 9th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until December 6th:
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 December 6th 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.
Mercury is retrograde from December 29th to January 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of intimacy, sharing, and finances because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. Anger management might be in order now, and it's a strong period for reviewing how you have been asserting yourself with a partner. There can be frustrations with how you've been managing power in a partnership, as well as drive to improve this situation. There may be a struggle with addictions at this time or the magnification of fears and phobias that have been driving your behavior. The good news is that you have a chance to better manage them.
Occurring in your solar tenth house during this period, enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. Some projects may stall. You may be feeling as if you are only going through the motions when it comes to your duties and responsibilities, temporarily lacking ambition, fire, or motivation. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

Virgo (Born September 3 to 12) AND Virgo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Virgo:
December 2022 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2022
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.

December 2022
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 12th forward:

From the 1st to 25th:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
From December 26th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger.

Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of intimacy, sharing, and finances because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. Anger management might be in order now, and it's a strong period for reviewing how you have been asserting yourself with a partner. There can be frustrations with how you've been managing power in a partnership, as well as drive to improve this situation. There may be a struggle with addictions at this time or the magnification of fears and phobias that have been driving your behavior. The good news is that you have a chance to better manage them.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
Your private life gets top billing as you begin December, dear Virgo, and you can be more sentimental and nostalgic. You're ready to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere, and you feel that if things are good from the ground up, you're in the best shape. Until the 21st, your focus is strong on inner psychological growth, after which you're more interactive.
You're bringing new energy to your family or private life this month. You're also building your faith in a relationship or friendship. Focusing on the positive, beautiful, and magical qualities of life and love can be rewarding. If you've felt at the mercy of the whims and moods of others or undecided about how to improve your life regarding relationships, you'll feel a little more faithful now.
You work harder to find peace with those closest to you or make physical improvements. You are taking more pride in the functionality of your domestic world. Organizing, editing, and rearranging are in favor.
Try to avoid overdoing or overworking, as you may not always judge your energy levels accurately with the continuing retrograde of Mars. It's harder to gauge what you can manage with this transit in play. As well, motivation levels are up and down. If you've been bottling up resentful feelings, especially about your work or responsibilities, they can emerge in unexpected ways. Avoid reacting blindly to challenges and instead, consider what is important to you before taking action.
The Full Moon on the 7th can prompt you to attend to your responsibilities to the outside world, ambitions, and reputation. A reward, award, or culmination of a project can pull you out of your shell. It comes at a time when your home, family, and personal life are in sharper focus and reminds you to round out your life. You might arrive at important realizations about your work, true calling, business, career, reputation, or true feelings about your life's direction. Listen to your intuition, but take your time before acting on it.
The 6th and 9th bring Mercury and Venus into your sector of leisure, enjoyment, and heartfelt activities. The Sun will enter this area of your solar chart on the 21st, pushing these themes further. With these shifts, you're in a more expressive and playful frame of mind. You might enjoy new hobbies, creative outlets, and love interests or renewed attention to these things. Your ideas go over well, and people seek you out for your advice and your company. Hobbies and leisure pursuits can be in pleasant focus.
Mercury's retrograde from the 29th can mean backtracking in these areas of life. You may not always get the words right, but you're bound to find different channels for expressing yourself, and creative mediums seem your best bet. Brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground. It's a time for patience – working on building lasting connections and projects is highly favored.
Your sector of intimacy and shared assets is ruled by Mars, and Mars is still retrograde (until January 12th). However, Jupiter moves into this area of your solar chart this month, and it will stick around until mid-May, bringing wonderful benefits. As well, Chiron turns direct here, and you feel increasingly better equipped to deal with problems. There can be financial gain, deepened relationships or more joy in an intimate relationship, and a generally easier time attracting moral or economic support. You're connecting with your deeper needs more fully in the months ahead.

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.
