** Note: Often the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day the transit occurs. Also note that dates may shift a day or so depending on your time zone. Also note that general transits can effect people differently depending on many factors, including transits to the individuals personal charts.


December 1 -- Mercury in Sagittarius Inconjunct Uranus in Taurus -- Surprise news or other disruptions are more likely now. Sudden changes to plans could arise. This could be stressful and unwelcome or could be something great that makes a ruckus to your schedule in the process of manifesting. Scheduling light around this time could help.

 

December 3-4 -- Solar Eclipse at 12° of Sagittarius - Sun in Sagittarius Inconjunct Uranus in Taurus -- This Solar Eclipse may broaden your horizons, and help you break free from limiting beliefs.  Whatever has become stagnant will likely be highlighted, allowing you to add some zest and get things moving. Seeking freedom is likely to be a major theme here. Whether you're planning trips, new courses of study, or looking to implement growth strategies, you will have the aid of this Eclipse. It is the ending of the epic Sagittarius/Gemini eclipse cycle that launched at the time that the world shut down from Covid 19. Certain things along this storyline will come to conclusion as we see more clearly the next chapters that we will be working with as the evolution of this story.

 

December 6 -- Mars in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn -- You are likely to receive a boost of energy, self-confidence, ambition, courage, and resilience.  This may drive you to be more assertive than usual, and could garner you necessary support.  Your confidence in asking for help or looking for resources could bring great things.

 

December 7 - 8 -- Mercury in Sagittarius Square Neptune in Pisces - Mars in Scorpio Square Jupiter in Aquarius -- This combination of Squares may have you fluctuating between states, in somewhat of a daze. You may feel mentally unbalanced and easily influenced, which could lead to a problematic situation. You may also be prone to selfish or excessive behavior. At the same time, you are given a boost of imagination. It may be better to use this window of time as an opportunity to reflect on what might be possible, once these squares have passed. Overtalking, overthinking, and overdoing are increased in likelihood now.

 

December 11 - 12 -- Venus Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn - Mercury in Capricorn Sextile Jupiter in Aquarius --Sun in Sagittarius Square Neptune in Pisces -- The conjunction will likely bring big money or love news (for better or worse). It an also intensify sensuality, and amplify the way this tends to manifest for you at an individual level.  This can be a wonderful opportunity to deepen your connection to your partner, or with yourself as a sensual being. This can also manifest as a potentially derailing temptation. The square increases the likelihood of the latter possibility, as it can loosen your morality, and fill your mind with falsehoods.  However,  the sextile can give you a sunny disposition, and a cheerful outlook. You will have a richer imagination, coupled with a genuine thirst for greater knowledge. You can use the benefits of the latter to overcome the challenges of the former.

 

December 18 -- Pluto in Capricorn Square Chiron in Aries - Full Moon at 27° of Gemini --  The Full Moon may have you feeling restless, or easily agitated, like a border collie in desperate need of a something to herd.  It would be a good idea to give yourself a complicated task to undertake. At the same time, you are likely to feel the aches and pains of the square manifesting in full force. The massive transformation that has swept our international societies off their foundations over the past few years has taken a toll on each of us in different ways. You may become acutely aware of the ways your own life has been impacted by these upheavals. This can be very constructive if you choose to figure out ways you can go about making your efforts more sustainable. Self-esteem will be tested and the insecurities that come out now, if truly resolved, can greatly empower you to create much more of the life that you want. Travel is likely at this time but be extra careful as distractions for you and others will be high.

 

December 19 — Venus Retrograde Begins —

 

Venus retrograde cycle - Mid November 2021 to early March 2022

 

November 18 ~ Venus retrograde pre-shadow period ~

 

Venus retro 26° of Capricorn back to 11° of Capricorn ~ December 19, 2021 - January 29, 2022

 

Venus post-transit shadow ~ January 30, 2022 - March 2, 2022

 

When Venus is in retrograde, disturbances, imbalances, or amplifications to the emotional, romantic, or sentimental dimensions of your life moves into the forefront of your experience. You will also become more concerned with your financial affairs, and your relationship with the sensory world. While this comes in the form of a reversal of your usual flow with these matters, which can be unsettling, it also provides an opportunity to reinforce these important parts of life at their foundations. Money, love and self-esteem issues from the past will come out from where they were swept under the rug, but so, too, could awesomeness from the past in these arenas. Big costs could come but material items longed for could also roll in in magical ways. Money coming in that was owed to you or surprise income or other other positive finanical news, business from past clients or other contacts, rekindled romance, returning to an old way of making money or revisiting previous projects are all also more likely and are wonderful manifestations of this transit. There is alot to know about this one so I advise you check out my video on the topic to get updated on the must-knows. Also check out my Venus retrograde through the signs and houses series on my site.

 

December 23 - 24 -- Saturn in Aquarius Square Uranus in Taurus -- This transit is about breaking down the old order and constructing the new. You are likely to become very sensitive to any of the ways in which freedom is restricted, and will be more likely to respond rebelliously. It will be important to keep the long terms consequences of challenging authority in mind and proceed in a way that assists longevity of the venture. The aspect can be great fuel for deep reflection into one's own place within the big picture and give insights about how to break out of the current matrix of experience and into a new one.

 

December 25 -- Mars in Sagittarius Trine Chiron in Aries - Venus Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn --  You may gain access to higher knowledge regarding actions you can take to overcome old wounds that continue to bog you down. The conjunction again intensifies sensuality and amplifies the way this tends to manifest for you individually, giving you the chance to deepen both personal connections and self-awareness.  Intensity in money or love is likely. The topics of control and power are almost certain to come up.

 

December 26 -- Mercury in Capricorn Sextile Neptune in Pisces -- You are likely to have a refined capacity to use your intellect to reach the highest planes of understanding on this day.  Enhanced intuition, heightened creativity, having a wealth of ideas, and an excellent sense of esthetics, are all tokens of this aspect. This is an excellent time for developing plans, building strategies, and visualizing the ideal life.

 

December 28 -- Mars in Sagittarius Inconjunct Uranus in Taurus -- Awkwardness or jolts may come in now. Especially guard your physical body. Trying to do too many things at once right now may work against you. Try to be calm and clear before taking any actions.

 

December 28 -- Jupiter enters Pisces — December 28, 2021 - May 11, 2022 and October 29, 2021 — December 21, 2021

 

The great expander sets to work behind the scenes as it lights up your study into your own (and others) psyche, spirituality, and projects that are out of the public eye. At its best, this transit can usher in a spiritual revolution, where higher questions become the focus and mundane issues find resolution in unexpected ways. This aspect brings great support for digging deep into issues with a solution-oriented intention. It favors art for arts sake and in many ways can bring a Renaissance-like expression in many areas of life.

 

December 29-30 -- Mercury Conjunct Venus in Capricorn - Sun in Capricorn Square Chiron in Aries - Mars in Sagittarius Sextile Saturn in Aquarius --  The Conjunction may inspire your social talents, making you feel cheerful, bringing a kind of eloquence and fluidity to your speech. At the same time, the sextile will give you courage, endurance, and boldness. The square, on the other hand, may have you feeling overwhelmed, and it may seem like you are taking on more than you can handle. You may be convinced of this, and while you may be taking on a great deal, it is not likely that you are truly taking on more than you can handle. This pressure will pass.  It may simply be necessary to check on your reserves to ensure that you have the fuel you need for the journey ahead. Important business or other long-term projects may gel now.
