Monthly Horoscope: Virgo, December 2021

More mundane topics are also on your mind, like renovating your space, moving, discussing plans with roommates, or other issues pertaining to your living situation. Emotionally, themes like privacy and security are on your mind, and if you’ve been reflecting on how to have a healthier work-life balance, your home and personal life may be major considerations at this time.

Neptune ends its retrograde in Pisces on December 1, activating the relationship sector of your chart: A whimsical, fantastical atmosphere flows between you and a partner! But some confusion may be in the air, too. If you or a partner have had unrealistic expectations, a feeling of disappointment could arise, but if you’re both able to stay grounded, this is a lovely time to connect and share your fantasies, feelings, and wishes for the future. 

The solar eclipse in Sagittarius arrives on December 4, activating the home and family sector of your chart. An important new beginning may be taking place: You could be moving or transforming your home or living situation in an important way. Emotionally, this solar eclipse finds you gaining a new, deeper understanding of who you are, where you come from, and what you need in order to feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Sagittarius is a courageous fire sign that’s focused on truth: What’s your truth, Virgo? Events that feel “meant to be” can take place at this time, and it’s all bringing deep realizations about yourself! Eclipses can be quite emotional and exhausting, so take it slow and keep your plans flexible.

Mars in Scorpio connects with Pluto in Capricorn on December 6, bringing some juicy information your way! You may be connecting with someone powerful. Flirtatious banter could become much more forward. Creative blocks are busted! Details might be confusing on December 7 as Mercury in Sagittarius squares off with Neptune, so take it slow when it comes to communication and making agreements. Fibs, fantasies, and laziness may be in the air, but a much more productive energy arrives as Mars squares off with Jupiter in Aquarius on December 8—there may even be a tendency to over-do things! Pace yourself, dear Virgo.

On December 11, Venus meets Pluto in Capricorn, bringing an especially intense, sexy atmosphere!

In your artistic endeavors, you’re exploring your aesthetic, your message, and your philosophy on a deeper level, and could be starting an inspiring and meaningful project. If you haven’t let loose and partied in a while, you might feel called to do so. Venus is a highly sensual planet, and as it meets Pluto, you’re urged to enjoy life to its fullest! Also on this day, Mercury connects with Jupiter, inspiring optimism, but people may feel lower, lazier, or a touch insecure as the sun and Neptune square off on December 12, so be gentle with yourself and others.

Mars enters Sagittarius on December 13, energizing you to tackle projects at home. You may be moving or renovating, or confronting an issue with a roommate, family member, or someone else close to home.

Your focus turns to your career and reputation during the full moon in Gemini on December 18: So much of Sagittarius season is about home and family for you, but this full moon shifts your attention to your life in the public sphere. A project you’ve been working on may reach a culmination, and reward or recognition could be coming your way! Creating a healthier work-life balance is also a focus at this time. 

December 19 marks the start of Venus retrograde in Capricorn, finding you deeply reconsidering what’s important to you in your love life, reconnecting with yourself as an artist, and figuring out how you want to invest your time and energy.

The old way of getting work done no longer makes sense, and important upgrades (perhaps technological), are taking place in your life. The way you organize and manage your routine takes on a new form.

Venus retrograde meets Pluto on December 25, igniting major romantic sparks: Pluto is one of the most intense planets, and Venus being retrograde means the planet of love and money encourages us to be more intentional and mindful about what we truly desire.
