Monthly Horoscope: Aquarius, December 2021

Something you keenly understand, dear Aquarius, is that great power can come from individuals who work together as a group. Together, we can effect great change, and Sagittarius season is highly focused on pursuing your vision for the future. Emotionally, this season finds you reflecting on your hopes and wishes, thinking about your future, and reflecting on where you fit in and which groups are worth your time and energy. You may be entering a new social circle or exploring a new interest.

Neptune ends its retrograde in Pisces on December 1, activating the financial sector of your chart. Neptune is the planet of fantasy and illusion, so you may feel especially optimistic about money at this time, or perhaps confused about themes like financial security. This is not the time to make firm commitments, but to dream big, brainstorm, and avoid paranoid thought patterns. 

The solar eclipse in Sagittarius arrives on December 4, marking the beginning of an important, new cycle in your social life. A group or community you join at this time may have special significance in your life, like it was meant to be. If you believe in destiny, Aquarius, this eclipse can feel especially fated!

Your two ruling planets, taskmaster Saturn and rebel Uranus, square off for the third and final time this year, and until 2043! Saturn is the planet of rules, but Uranus only wants to break them!
