December 2021 Capricorn Horoscope

December starts with a Venus and Pluto conjunction happening in your own sign. This means it will be happening in your 1st house of self, the body and personality. Whenever Venus and Pluto get together, all forms of love are intensified. Self-love indeed is one of them, but Pluto tends to take things a bit too far. It's important to check yourself for issues with narcissism. This doesn't necessarily have to be the vain type of selfishness that we usually think about. This can also mean being too focused on your own problems, trying to achieve something at all costs, etc. Ask yourself how much you've been focusing on yourself and how much you are serving others.

The last eclipse of the year and the New Moon of the month will be happening in Sagittarius, your 12th house. This being the last eclipse that will occur in your 12th house for the next 18 years will be a conclusive page on what would've been quite the introspective chapter of your life. Eclipses in the 12th can be the catalyst of seclusion and mental fog. There might still be a little of that on this one coming up, but this time the fog will surely dissipate, and you'll begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's a time for self-realization and learning to be your best friend.

Further down the month, Mars will be square with Jupiter. This will be happening between your 11th and 2nd house. This could indicate a need to get social and get up to some "nasty" behaviour. This is all about being contrarian and cheating the system with your friends. Be careful with the ideas you and your friends have. Some might sound fun, and the thrill of risky activities can be extra alluring during this time. With that in mind, remember that some actions have severe consequences if taken too far. That's not to say you shouldn't enjoy a little adventuring, but avoid acting recklessly childish.

After Mars is done with Jupiter, it will change signs and enter Sagittarius. As mentioned earlier, this is your 12th house, and since the eclipse just happened there, this means that Ketu, the Moon's South Node, will catch Mars right as it enters the sign. Ketu tends to diminish the power of any planet that comes within its grasp. This means that both aggression and vigour can be challenging energies to channel at this time. Especially since this is happening in your 12th house of secrets and hidden emotions, expressing your frustration may be problematic. This could get you feeling angsty and irritated for no apparent reason, so try to do things you enjoy to remediate those yucky feelings. Taking some time alone can be exceptionally beneficial at this time.

The last Saturn and Uranus square of the year will be happening between your 2nd and 5th house. This transit has made 2021 a year of focusing on using your creativity to earn more money. Chances are, with Saturn in the mix of this transit, the start has been quite rocky. The bad news is that this last transit will likely bring some of these challenges back to the surface again. Still, the good news is that this will be the last time it happens, and it's a decisive moment of this cycle. Saturn appreciates it when we buckle up and get to work, and even though it may be the holiday season right now and work is the last thing you want to hear about, making an effort at this time will yield extraordinary results. Uranus is the planet of sudden events, so utilize this energy to manifest unexpected blessings.

The Full Moon of the month in Gemini will be happening in your 6th house. This points towards a need to develop actionable plans for the year ahead. Going with the flow is good, but there are times that attention to detail and planning is necessary. While a Full Moon in the 6th is not the most fun, it's where real results are made through focus. Gemini, while flexible, lacks a lot of focus. Try to stick to setting small goals and taking them one step at a time. You will not regret it.

The year comes to a close with the long-awaited Jupiter ingress into Pisces. This is happening in your 3rd house of learning and communication. Whenever Jupiter is in his own sign, abundance, expansion, and faith are all-pervasive to whatever area of life they show up at. This transit also lasts for a whole year, so it will colour much of 2022. Expect new learning experiences, learning critical new skills, and most of all, expect to be heard. Pisces in the 3rd house can make for quite the exotic communicator, but for once, the dreams and metaphors that the sign is so fond of will be universally understood. Don't be afraid to get out there and make yourself visible.
