December 2022 brings the holiday season, and this seems to conjure up feelings of excitement and at the same time sadness. If you feel yourself facilitating between both of these states, it is ok. Past memories will surely creep up and the universe is asking you to be extra patient and kind to yourself and others. The world could always use more love and compassion and December 2022 is no exception to that rule. This is the month to break out of your comfort zone and at the same time, give yourself the space and grace to be more introspective and contemplative.
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
December 1st, 2022 – Sun In Sagittarius
Today will add some supportive structure, routines and plans to our career life and sense of obligations. There is a natural flow between what we desire and what we must get accomplished. Many of you, my darkling’s could be laying the foundations for a new career path that is more inspiring and in alignment with their soul’s mission.
This is a good energy to dedicate yourself to a higher cause that spreads new ideologies and enlightenment. Those darkling’s with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in the mid degrees( 15-20 degrees) of Sagittarius and Aquarius will feel this aspect the most. Expect sudden inspiration and stability to come forth with your work plans. For everyone else, check where those degrees fall in your natal chart to find out what extra levels of inspiration and responsibility will come into your life.
December 4th, 2022 – Neptune Goes Direct
The fog will finally lift and we will be able to see the world more clearly. Things will finally start to make sense again.
December 6th, 2022 – Mercury Enters Capricorn
If in the last weeks you’ve got all excited about the future and came up with new ideas, it’s time for action. What concrete steps can you take to turn these rather abstract ideas into actionable todo lists?
Today our mind will automatically become more goal-oriented. Now it’s time to connect the dots and take practical steps towards reaching your goals.
December 8th, 2022 – Full Moon In Gemini
The Full Moon in Gemini is here bring forth a LOT of talking and a LOT of thinking. Our brains and mouths will be on overdrive lol! For anyone involved in the communication, writing and travel industries this is a great influence to produce a work of art or to finally complete a big project of importance.
We may become straightforward and more assertive in our interactions with others. Expect all kinds of aggressive and feisty conversations and actions. We could be here, there and everywhere with our thinking and lash out with statements that we are not able to take back. Be extra careful around how and what you say and around driving( Mercury, Gemini’s ruler is known to rule transportation).
For those born with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs( or IC, DC, MC) on or close to 16 degrees of Gemini( +/- 5 degrees) or in the other mutable signs of Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces will be most impacted by this full moon. Expect all kinds of emotional and highly charged communication to ensue. You could feel extra charged up to communicate your desires or have other folks coming at you with a lot of passion and far out ideas. For everyone else, check where 16 degrees of Gemini falls in your natal chart to see where these erratic and hot head vibes of communication could be coming your way.
December 10th, 2022 – Venus Enters Capricorn
We become more intentional and more strategic about what we want. Our standards rise.
If you are a bit unsure about what your motivations and priorities are, Venus in Capricorn will help you clarify that. And once you know what you want, there’s nothing that is going to stop you from attracting it and manifesting it into your life.
December 20th, 2022 – Jupiter Enters Aries
Time to be bold and courageous in the area of your life ruled by Aries. Expand our awareness of our leadership abilities and the drive to put our own unique perspective forth into the world. Some could be forging new careers or life paths with this energy. The higher vibration of this aspect will be increased energy levels around our willpower and sense of individuality. The lower vibration of this aspect will be increased energy levels around selfishness and brash actions. The key will be to balance between feeling super inspired and ready to tackle any task while also being aware of how our actions and decisions impact others.
For those born with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in Aries, expect a brand new you to emerge. The phoenix rising from the ashes comes to mind. This is a once in 12 year transit so take advantage of it and plan to feel more invigorated, charged up and ready to rock n roll again! The other group of darkling’s most impacted will be those with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in the other fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius. This aspect of Jupiter is making beneficial trines to your fire planets and points and will also encourage adventure, inspiration and action. The last group that will be most impacted will be those with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in the other cardinal signs of Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Expect at times tense and transformational energy to enter into your life that will impact your physical body, home, relationships and career. For everyone else, check where Aries falls in your natal chart to see where these lofty, wisdom producing and “go get em vibes” will be most prominent for you.
This energy will influence you until May 2023.
December 21st, 2022 – Sun Enters Capricorn
Happy birthday to all Capricorns out there!
Sun in Capricorn also means that we have the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. Solstice days are portals of wisdom, initiation and destiny. They usher in fated events that herald a time of a reset and a brand new era being established.
The shift from Sagittarius to Capricorn energy brings forth more of a focus on our career and responsibilities. A grounded and more serious vibe of getting on top of our projects and plans will be felt. We now feel we can move mountains. This is a great time to be clear about what it is that you want to achieve.
If you have your Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in Capricorn expect a renewal of your power and purpose. For everyone else, check where Capricorn falls in your natal chart to see where these powerful resets connected to your career, sense of destiny and structures will be happening in your life.
December 23rd, 2022 – New Moon In Capricorn
You’re now climbing the mountain and rushing to get to the summit! Sometimes the best way to take action is to jump straight into it. A wonderful new opportunity connected to our destiny and sense of personal power and leadership. This is a great opportunity to begin a business, become more visible around our work projects and to hustle our way to the top of any endeavor. A very motivated and non sense vibe is what this time heralds. We will be super focused on our goals and sense of achievement. The higher vibration of this new moon will be our sense of determination and fortitude to begin a lofty goal or desire. The lower vibration of this new moon will be a lack of emotional depth and a workaholic energy to come forth. The key to enjoying this new moon will be about balancing our desire for achievement while also staying grounded and not burning that midnight oil just to prove we are worthy and diligent.
For those born with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs on or close to 1 degree of Capricorn, you will be most impacted by this new moon. Expect a powerful new cycle connected to your goals and achievements. Some could be promoted, begin a new business or career path. For everyone else, check where 1 degree of Capricorn falls in your natal chart to see where these very ambitious and nonsense beginnings will be established and created.
December 23rd, 2022 – Chiron Goes Direct
So when Chiron goes stationary retrograde (once a year) and stationary direct (also just once a year, i.e. now) we feel its energy more strongly than ever.
If you’re Chiron-sensitive (and if you’re into astrology, you probably are) Chiron stationary direct will reveal something very personal and vulnerable about yourself. Something you don’t feel easy about. But something that if you choose to explore and embrace, will eventually heal you.
December 29th, 2022 – Mercury Goes Retrograde
Mercury retrograde points to what needs to be reviewed, reassessed, and reinvented in your life. Pay attention to the Capricorn sector of your chart to get more hints about what needs a revision in your life. There will be a reset on what we consider priorities and responsibilities in our lives. As with any Mercury retrograde cycle, the past could come back to be revisited and acknowledged. This could involve old work projects, jobs and former colleagues who might just pop outta nowhere back into our lives. As always extra care and attention will have to be placed on travel plans and the way we communicate our desires. There could be delays with such work endeavors and a sense of lag around our ambitions. This is a great period to go back to old projects, plans and clients to reestablish a connection.
For those born with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs between 8-24 degrees of Capricorn will be most impacted by Mercury’s retrograde motion. Expect past events, people and situations to reappear to be dealt with and some form of restructuring and revision will be required. For everyone else, check where you have 8-24 degrees of Capricorn in your natal chart to see where you will be revising, reflecting and repurposing your efforts connected to work and your sense of power.
This month could feel at times a little tricky or confusing but the universe is asking for your malleability and flexibility. December 2022 is here to bring forth a new level of self compassion and the acknowledgement of how far you’ve come and the excitement of what is to come. This month wants to remind you of your strength and determination. December 2022 is a month of self redemption, the recognition of our fortitude and sense of faith and the reminder that a new chapter of unlimited possibilities lies just ahead on this journey of life.
We are invited to explore not only our thoughts, but also the emotional imprints attached to those thoughts.
When we understand how our thoughts influence our feelings and the other way around, we can get to the root cause of our motivations, and we’re able to reframe those mental and emotional models that no longer serve our growth.
In love, light and magic
