Your Month Ahead

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

You begin December with a clear head when it comes to all matters of love. You are likely to feel that you no longer want to put in the effort. Transits for your sign are reminding you that you aren’t meant to be doing all the work, so enjoy taking the back seat, seeing people for what they are, and letting things unfold. You aren’t likely to want to hold on to flings and any relationships that feel as if they aren’t going anywhere at this time. The energy of the eclipse on the 4th will help you to move on to bigger and better as you acknowledge your worth.

Don’t be surprised if a person or situation from your past resurfaces mid month. It is just about reminding you to stay on track with what you want. Keep moving forward. This temptation of the past is likely to become stronger around the time that Venus goes into retrograde. Remember what you deserve.

The end of the month is positive for you as Chiron going direct in your sign brings you prosperity and abundance. It will also give your love life a major boost. You may find yourself feeling more ambitious, so take advantage of the likely opportunities for you at this time to make more money. The last days of the year will see you setting healthy boundaries in your love life.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21)

The astrological influences for you Taurus are likely to see you starting the month with the confidence to walk away from what no longer serves you, or speaking your truth about how you really feel. The solar eclipse on the 4th will feel more chaotic for you than most so if you have the urge to pull back from others and rest on that day it wouldn’t be a bad idea. Remember to take nothing personally.

Mid December heavily focuses on communication in your relationships, particularly romantic ones. There may be the feeling that there are things that need to be sorted and finding the right way to communicate your needs and feelings may seem tricky at this time. You are likely to be questioning your love life and the key message at this time is not to let things get you down, but remember what you deserve and that sometimes things have to be challenged in order to grow and heal.

You will feel more productive than usual as December draws to a close. You will find yourself accomplishing those tasks that have been nagging at you throughout the year. Your social life gets a boost ending the year with some much needed fun for you, although don’t be disheartened in your career sector. You may be getting things done, although work opportunities are likely to move slowly until the beginning of next year.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

Friendships are the focus as December begins for you Gemini. You have spent some time paying attention to who your real friends are and who has been there for you. Now is the time where you consciously choose to put your energy into the friends that have shown you loyalty and to let go of more casual, especially draining, acquaintances. The eclipse on the 4th will make it easier for you to step away from those people you no longer want in your life.

What feels like an upgrade in your social life will continue into the mid month. Work will also bring you rewards at this time, although the transits for your sign show that you are likely to try to avoid any praise or recognition. You deserve not only the rewards but the accolades that come with them. Don’t be scared to shine Gemini. You earned this!

The end of the month brings you feelings of stability in your love life and in your work life. The worry and uncertainty that has impacted you throughout most of this year is now replaced with a feeling of calm and trust in these areas. This feeling will take some getting used to but remember that you deserve this and nothing less. Resist going back to worrying and feeling anxious because it is what you have become used to this year. Time for a new beginning.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

Cancer, your love life gets a shake up all month long. It starts with your social life getting a clean up, making you reassess all of your relationships. You start the month with a strong awareness of who is really there for you and a strong desire to cut some people out. Be aware of this especially around the time of the eclipse on the 4th. You are highly likely to make some bold and abrupt decisions around people in your life, so be careful with who you choose to spend time with during this event.

Mid month Mercury does a lot around communication in your world. The depth that you are seeking in your romantic relationships is there for you to take, and this may mean letting go of the relationships or opportunities that don’t fulfil you. Don’t distract yourself from what you want by settling for second best. The planets are telling you that you can have the love you want.

A financial boost and a feeling of stability in this sector adds to more fulfilment in your love life. You may feel inspired to make plans for your future that you were scared to make before. You will feel more responsible than usual but this will also enable you to feel confident in the times that you do choose to let go and have fun, especially with that significant other.

Leo (July 24 - August 23)

The beginning of December brings you great clarity and focus with work. Your work atmosphere will be very important to you, and you may find yourself making changes within your work environment so that it better suits you. The eclipse on the 4th brings some fire to your pleasure zone, so you are more likely to find enjoyment at this time than most.

The middle of December will find you tidying up loose ends. It may not feel like an overly exciting time for you, although you will feel good about having all of those things sorted. With Venus going retrograde you are likely to have a few impulsive moments and these may see you wanting to make bold changes to your looks and beauty routines. Think before you make any drastic changes to your appearance.

Start thinking about New Year’s resolutions as the month draws to a close. This is a good time for you professionally and a very encouraging time for you to start planning for what you want to achieve. The first step to laying down your plans is to know what they are. Use the positive astrological influences at this time to make a list of what you desire and go from there. The challenge will be not to sell yourself short.

Virgo (August 24 - September 23)

This is a great start to the month for you Virgo as you enter December knowing exactly what you want and you will feel yourself on a mission to get it. Doors open for you around work and love and the positivity that comes with this should stay with you for most of the month. The eclipse on the 4th will find you wanting to focus more on fun than drama and this is a very positive outlook and approach for you indeed.

You are likely to find yourself challenged in the area of communication mid month especially concerning romantic and other close relationships. What you need from your relationships is going to be made very clear for you at this time. That direct energy that you began the month with, will work well for you now. Don’t be scared to speak up and let others know your expectations. Things are being shown to you for a reason so it is okay for you to act.

As December comes to an end you will find yourself being very selective about who you spend your time with. You will also be more open to giving affection which means that you will be more open to receiving it as well. This is an enjoyable time for you and self pampering will also be a rewarding focus. You will end the year on a positive note, feeling on top of things.

Libra (September 24 - October 23)

You may begin December with a feeling of wanting to pull back from others. You have been reassessing the places of people in your life so it is normal for you to want to take the time, sit back, and see how everything unfolds around you. The chaos that you feel that surrounds you at this time will soon pass. Just do your best to avoid the drama, even if that means keeping to yourself.

By mid month the energy lifts in a big way and it is all about socialising, fun, and flirtation. You will feel that you are at your charming best at this time, so work it Libra! You will also get the confidence boost you need at this time to stand up and ask for what you want. Deeper love connections may not feel as exciting but this is good for you to sharpen up on your communication skills and to be more patient.

Love should feel a little more exciting at the end of December and you are likely to find yourself daydreaming more and getting lost in thoughts of your desires. This isn’t a bad thing, because these daydreams are helping you recognise what you actually want and to set goals accordingly. The year ends for you with a feeling that everything is just as it should be. Enjoy the peace… it is real.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)

Your month starts with a shake up Scorpio. You are likely to find yourself making plans to get away or to spend time with only the people that you truly want to be with. This is going to mean leaving some people out, but you need to make it about you now. You can’t please everyone, so be sure to do what is right for you. You can expect a lot of drama around the time of the eclipse on the 4th. As stressful as this may be, it will help you to finally move on from what has been draining you, and what is not working for you.

Mid month will also see you focusing on self care. Remember that it is okay for others to take care of things and for you to rest. Don’t feel guilty about looking after yourself. The part of you that feels responsible must be responsible for your wellbeing now. You deserve to put your feet up.

The last two weeks of the year will challenge your love life but this is a good thing for you to make necessary changes. Just remember that patience is the key to resolving everything. You actually end the year with a very positive outlook on love. Career goals not only become clearer at this time but you can expect doors to open. It is also a positive time for you financially and it will feel as if your hard work has paid off.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 20)

The first week of December will bring you unexpected good news, and you can expect things to move forward for you with great momentum! This is a positive time for you indeed. You will also find that you are more likely to tell others off at this time so be careful with your words. In saying that, standing up for yourself with integrity is a good thing. Use that voice with the positivity that you are full of at this time.

The energy of standing up for yourself continues into mid month and impacts all of the areas of your life. As you come to realise your worth you will find yourself demanding more from love, work, and just about everything else. After the 19th talk around romance can be tricky and downright confusing so it may be best to leave those deeper conversations for another time if they don’t have to be had yet. Indulge in some fun instead.

Family and friends will be your focus as the year comes to a close and this an action packed, fun filed time for you. You are also likely to find yourself feeling lucky as things fall into place in unexpected ways and as you are positively surprised by others more than usual. Don’t be scared to be the life of the party!

Capricorn (December 21- January 20)

Wanting to let go of what no longer serves you will be your focus as you enter December. It won’t be hard to do, because you have pondered over this for some time now. Letting go should feel as if it ‘just happens’. The eclipse on the 4th is an uncomfortable time for most, although for you it is particularly good for spending it with a romantic partner. Be sure to make the most of this energy.

Mid December sees you focusing heavily on your work zone. You are likely to find yourself reassessing the way that things are done, opportunities available to you, and so forth. You are being supported in this and you can expect positive results from your efforts. You should also find it easier to communicate with work colleagues at this time also. Positive feedback is also likely. Don’t shy away from it. You deserve it.

Your love life will be the focus as the year draws to a close and this is a great time for you to try new things. If you are single you may take a new approach to getting out there and meeting somebody, and if you are partnered, you are likely to find yourself doing new and adventurous things with your loved one. Stepping out of your comfort zone will bring you a lot of enjoyment and fulfilment at this time.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)

The beginning of December is all about bringing you everything new. You can expect new people, new opportunities, and new ideas to suddenly enter your life. The challenge is to not be distracted by things from the past that are going to pop up. There is a reason why you let go of these things, so don’t go backwards and keep your eyes focused forward.

Attention isn’t something you usually crave, although mid December is going to bring it to you in bucket loads. This attention will come from work, family, friends, partners, and even strangers. Don’t shy away from it and let people praise you for the wonderful human that you are. Be very conscious of any tendency to talk yourself down at this time. Make an effort to speak to yourself with the positivity that you speak to others with.

The end of the month will see you communicating very directly. You will find yourself being honest with others, even if it means letting them down. Communication around love and money will be difficult but if you can maintain that direct approach, it will not get the better of you. The year ends on a quieter note for you than most, and you will find yourself really enjoying that sense of everything slowing down. Serenity is yours.

Pisces (February 21 - March 20)

You start the month finding that any illusions around your love life have been shattered. As you see people for who they really are and recognise their genuine intentions you will find the sudden surge of strength to let them go despite how much effort you have put into your relationships with them. Alternatively, you may realise just how much someone loves and adores you. In that case, let them love you and don’t be scared. You will have a strong urge to do new things. Go for it.

Your work commitments will be your focus mid month. You will find yourself giving more of yourself to your work and you will be rewarded for doing so. You can also expect some sort of of professional limelight. This will boost your confidence and will give you the courage to make a difference in your personal life, as you find yourself opening up to others and telling them how you really feel. You can expect things to go to the next level as a result of this heartfelt communication.

Don’t get bogged down with worry as the year comes to a close. Astrological influences are likely to play with your emotions making you feel things on an even deeper level. Make a conscious choice to focus on the fun that surrounds you and to join in. The end of the year will bring you some sort of inspiration and you will get swept away with something that will carry into next year bringing you fulfilment.

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN SAGITTARUS

Saturday 4th December 2021

Solar eclipses always bring a transformative energy, meaning that we can expect some form of chaos. Chaos isn’t always a bad thing as sometimes it stirs up things that have been hidden or unspoken for too long.

This eclipse in particular focuses on relationships. Remember that eclipses bring new beginnings and signify the beginning of an entirely new phase. Whatever is being stirred up in your relationships is only going to take you to bigger and better.

Staying calm and observant, and having the courage to face things that you have not wanted to face before will make this time not only significantly easier, but positive. Healthy communication is key to making the most of this energy of change.
