December 2021 Monthly Forecast

My Dear Darkling’s welcome to the most action packed month, December 2021! 

Yule and Christmas…I don’t know about you but I like to celebrate both?  I have always been head over heels in love with the magical idea of Santa but also want to lean into the restoration and contemplation that comes with Yules.

December’s 2021 energy will start to shake things up. All the tension and blocked momentum that has been building up throughout 2021 will reach a point of climax and things WILL finally start to shift and move forward.

Let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:

In shadow, light, and Yule magic,

December 4th, 2021 – New Moon And Solar Eclipse In Sagittarius

A powerful New Moon and Solar Eclipse at 12° Sagittarius.

This is a Solar Eclipse so it is connected with new beginnings, and also a South Node eclipse, connected with releasing old patterns from the past. As with most things in life, when one door closes, another door opens. If we want a different tomorrow, it’s really important we release those patterns that no longer serve us.

December 11th, 2021 – Venus Conjunct Pluto

On December 11th, 2021 Venus is conjunct Pluto at 25° Capricorn. This is just the beginning of a ‘beautiful friendship’.

Not only will Venus and Pluto be holding hands pretty much the whole month of December… but since Venus will be retrograding this month, (Venus retrograde Blog) we have a record of 3 exact Venus-Pluto conjunctions, the last one happening in March 2022. Venus and Pluto conjunctions are really really intense.

We are now about to have a 3-month long conjunction. Venus is our feelings, our subjective experience of life – and that includes our values, likes and dislikes, the kinds of things and people we are attracted to. When Venus is conjunct Pluto, some dark Venus truths come to light.

Some uncomfortable, unprocessed feelings ask for release. Pluto demands to get real about what we want – and there’s always something brutal about Pluto’s revelations, no matter how much shadow work we have done in the past, or how spiritually enlightened (we think) we are.

We may think that we know what we want – “I’m just true to my feelings” – but Pluto comes to show us that we don’t.

What we really really want, what we value, the source, the underlying reason for everything, is something so primal, so rooted in our identity, that it is directing our life in a way that leaves us powerless – until we become aware of the dynamic.

Pay attention to any feelings, downloads that happen around this date, because they are really important – and are a major theme in your life for the next 3 months and beyond.

December 15th, 2021 – Mars Conjunct South Node

 We will be challenged on both a social and economic level. We are going to be requested by the cosmos to process our social interactions, as well as our shadows in the economic and work fields.

December 18th, 2021 – Full Moon In Gemini

The Full Moon where the duality of our light and dark will be temporarily illuminated, consider what parts of self you might be hiding as you also prepare for Yule. 

This Full Moon brings a sweet energy, helping us to find gratitude as we wrap up the year. It is a powerful time to release all we no longer want to take with us into the new year and to find gratitude for the lessons and experiences we have moved through.

Check ot the full moon ritual here…

December 19th, 2021 – Venus Goes Retrograde, Chiron Goes Direct

Venus goes retrograde at 26° Capricorn, while on the same day Chiron goes direct at 8° Aries.

A very powerful emotional revelation will unveil a hidden wound, at the same time setting in motion the necessary healing process. It’s like we’re ready for healing, ready for love, but not quite there yet. We must go to the Underworld first.

The great news is that Venus retrograde comes with great clarity. We now know what we need to do – it’s just a matter of embarking on the journey and staying true to ourselves no matter what Pluto has to reveal.

December 21st, 2021 – Sun Enters Capricorn

We have the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.  Happy Solstice!!

We will be enjoying the cardinal element, this gives us a tremendous energy and sense of direction. We now feel we can move mountains. This is a great time to be clear about what it is that you want to achieve.

---

December 24th, 2021 – Saturn Square Uranus

We have a Christmas present: the last Saturn-Uranus square of the year. “Christmas present” is of course a bit ironic.

This is not the time to resist change, nor is it the time to overreact. A well-considered, methodical, patient, and step-by-step approach is best. Commitment and responsibility may be issues that cause stress in relationships or in your career. You may also come to realize that bad habits or outdated beliefs are blocking your progress.

---

December 25th, 2021 – Venus Retrograde Conjunct Pluto

This is a very intense transit that will trigger a rebirth of the heart.

Since this transit happens simultaneously with the Saturn-Uranus square at Christmas, we want to be mindful of what we say and do. It’s not that we want to run away from the powerful, liberating truth that these transits will most certainly bring, but we should remember that we always have a choice of ‘how’ we deal with what the planets offer us

December 28th 2021 – Jupiter Enters Pisces

Hope returns with this transit. In general, it’s going to be a more auspicious time. 

What that means my darkling is now is the time to invest your time, energy, and resources in all things Pisces: Creative Expression, Magic, Spirituality, Dreams and Dreamwork, Healing and Alternative Health, Music, Theatre, Art, Dance and Retreats.

December 29th-30th, 2021 – Mercury Conjunct Venus And Pluto

The year ends with a momentous revelation. Mercury, Venus and Pluto all meet at 25° Capricorn for a powerful moment of truth.

When our mind (Mercury) and our heart (Venus) meet the planet of power and transformation (Pluto), we can no longer say we don’t know what we want. Pluto will write it out on our foreheads, and the truth will be so liberating, that it will set in motion the true power of nature.

Make sure you don’t dismiss this powerful guidance, because 2022 will come with exciting opportunities that will help you to make anything possible.

Wishing the same joy, merriment, and intention setting to you and yours during this season!
