Astrological Monthly Forecast December 2021
Now that we are approaching the end van 2021 and while the planets prepare for the grand finale, it’s time to look back at the Year of the Metal Ox, the turbulent year of 2021. 
And what an absurd year we leave behind…
The assault on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Royalty shaken in their very foundations, the fall of Afghanistan, the Suez Canal blockade, unprecedented mass demonstrations, extreme weather conditions, severe flooding and heat records, fires…The year of the lock downs, face masks, vaccinations, testing, curfew, regulation and registration of personal data, 2G, the inevitable dichotomy and even more state control…
In fact, the world is in a global crisis where the personal and collective energy field is being turned upside down.
The last month of 2021 will show that personal and societal structures will continue to change and the impact and consequences these reforms will have on all of us.
December 2021 falls in the middle of the eclipse season, which triggers unforeseen sequential and pivotal events.
On December 4, 2021, the final eclipse of 2021, a Total Solar Eclipse at 12º22′ will fall in fiery Sagittarius, which can be seen in South Australia, South Africa, South America, Chile, Argentina, the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean and Antarctica.
This is the final Eclipse on the Gemini/Sagittarius polarity.
The conjunction with cosmic messenger Mercury with the South Node in Sagittarius during this Total Solar Eclipse opens the gate to 2022 for changes in the way we communicate and interact, how information spreads and how we distinguish fact from fiction. In the fiery and profound realm of Sagittarius, Mercury is seeking the truth and responses will be impulsive, direct and spontaneous. In fierce discussions, positions are defended with fire and sword.
What is truth?
In these turbulent times of corona and conspiracy theories, there is a great need for an independent source for news information to find out exactly what is going on.
No propaganda or pressure from above.
During this Total Solar Eclipse, Jupiter the Ruler of Sagittarius will form an almost exact square to Mars in Scorpio. This field of tension wants to break through social barriers and symbolizes our need to free ourselves from imposed restrictive measures, no matter what. So we have to deal with enormous indignation and contempt for authorities, so be prepared for turmoil and upheaval, big demonstrations and riots.
With Mars in Scorpio square Jupiter in Aquarius there will be no way to compromise, it’s all or nothing.
The Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius (Jupiter) shows the threat of war, religious violence and terrorism
in the near future, especially now as the world is out of balance.

The lingering tension field between the planetary giants Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus has kept the world on edge throughout 2021.
The establishment (Saturn) in social Aquarius tries to control the collective, to restrain it by imposing more and more ideas and rules without taking into account the fundamental rights of the individual (Uranus).
Uranus in Taurus demands freedom at any cost. What does this mean for us as a society?
With Saturn and Uranus in fixed, unyielding signs, parties are in constant uncompromising struggle against each other, social resistance against the establishment.
Uranus square Saturn forces us to choose to act, to rebuild on the ruins of the past.
Starting over, both on an individual and collective scale.
Our collective energy field needs to be cleared and healed so that we can move forward together in ‘the new reality’.
The third and final exact volatile square between Saturn and Uranus of 2021 falls on December 24, 2021. Things are getting real out there.
Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus will be fighting each other until the end of 2022.
Now that Saturn is direct again and Uranus remains retrograde until mid-January 2022
it feels like we are a voice crying out in the wilderness.
Next year 2022, from September 17 to October 24, 2022, Saturn will again square Uranus in Taurus, but the impact of this field of tension will certainly continue until 2023.
After a long retrograde period, Neptune in Pisces, planet of spirituality, transcendence, illusion and mystery, will resume its direct orbit around the Sun from December 1, 2021.
It feels as if we are being offered a new or last chance to make up for lost time or to turn things around, giving us room for growth and creative ideas to make dreams come true.
This powerful energy brings intuition, love, enchantment and inspiration, but can also be misleading in the sense of an unprecedented rise in addictions and confused people trying to escape the reality of the day. Especially at this time we should try to follow the path of universal love by letting the heart speak. Neptune will remain in Pisces until the end of 2025.
On December 14, 2021, the annual Geminids Meteor Shower will take place with no less than 120 multicolored meteors per hour! These “shooting stars” consist of debris from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon, which was discovered in 1982.
The Geminids get their name from the constellation Gemini, but of course these shooting stars in dualistic Gemini can appear anywhere in the sky.
From December 14, 2021, fiery Mars continues its way through the fire sign of Sagittarius, at the same moment when Venus aligns itself with Pluto in Capricorn. With this powerful composite planetary energy, we are encouraged to close the year with confidence and hope.
From November 19, 2021, we will see a return to the past to close things or make peace or make necessary changes, especially regarding to relationships over the past eight years.
Mercury also joins retrograde Venus and Pluto in Capricorn at the end of December 2021, and this conjunction of methodical and practical perspective may usher in a period of adjustment and recovery.
With this conjunction of Venus and Pluto in Capricorn and the presence of Mercury in Capricorn, the combativeness of Mars becomes less ardent, but that does not mean that anger, violence and rebellion will lessen, on the contrary.
As a collective we must do our best to channel all this fire energy into positivism and inspiration! Until January 24, 2022, the fire of Mars in Sagittarius will stimulate us to conquer new horizons.
Retrograde Venus in Capricorn fills our hearts with magic, nostalgia and beautiful moments.
It makes us long for Christmas like old times, the fun, laughter, togetherness, reminiscing with old friends and family or reunion with loved ones.
Throughout 2021, our priorities have shifted and we are grateful for what we do have and appreciate what we can do. We will need to reassess our values and shared responsibilities, along with our dignity in relation to productivity and material wealth, so that we can improve our quality of life.
The conjunction of Venus with Pluto in Capricorn brings focus, intensity and depth to what is important. Venus will remain in Capricorn until March 6, 2022. During the last conjunction of Mars and Pluto in Capricorn on March 3, 2022, important lessons about responsibility and tradition will be concluded.
With the Full Moon at 27º29 Gemini of December 19, 2021, unexpected events are to be expected. On the same day, Venus in Capricorn turns retrograde….
There may be a chance that we have to make uncomfortable choices.

The entry of the Sun into mystical earthly Capricorn on December 22, 2021 heralds the start of the new astrological year.
The Winter Solstice falls on the shortest day and longest night.
It is the festival of Yule, the festival of the rebirth of the Sun and the Return of the Light.
Christmas.
This is the first day of Winter (winter solstice) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of Summer (summer solstice) in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Winter Solstice, with the special conjunction of the Sun and Saturn on the first degree in Capricorn, means an essential change of energy.
Time to make plans concrete.
On December 23, 2021, we can look forward to the culmination of the annual Ursids Meteor Shower in the Ursa Minor constellation. This meteor shower comes from Comet Tuttle, which was discovered in 1790 and can be seen annually from December 17th to 25th.
The final exact square aspect between Saturn and Uranus on December 24, 2021 emphasizes the fact that we have to let go of what has become unreal and embracing the opportunity to free ourselves from existing limitations.
December 2021 will conclude on December 30 with the long-awaited entry of Jupiter into Pisces. Jupiter will remain in Pisces until mid-May 2022, temporarily shifting to Aries and turning back to Pisces from late October to mid-December 2022.
In the spring and summer of 2021, Jupiter was already in Pisces, so this period can be seen as a kind of harbinger of things to come.
With Jupiter in Pisces, we feel there is light at the end of the tunnel.
A sense of hope that next year will be better. A belief in goodness and trust in each other can feel good, but it can also indicate something else.
Jupiter in Pisces can indicate massive flooding and also mass-emigration, an increase in religious fanaticism with an increased risk of terrorist attacks.
