TheraCommunity Moon Blog for December 2021

December is the last month of the year. We made it! We're finally here, on the precipice of another new beginning!

What are you choosing to leave behind in 2021, and what will you consciously bring with you into 2022?

Now is a good time to begin contemplating your intentions for the new year and to take action to remove the things that no longer serve you in your present journey.

Some of December's important astrological dates are bellow:

December 1st- Neptune goes direct:

A planet going direct means it is coming out of a retrograde cycle. We may be feeling a forward motion from this astrological event. It's the last month of 2021, and this is a great  time to use that forward momentum to wrap up the years unfinished business.

December 4th- New Moon- Total Solar Eclipse:

This New Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius. We may feel the magnetic, brave, intelligent, and socially adept influence of this sign today, and in the coming weeks. Many of us have been feeling overwhelmed lately, and it is nice to have some of Sagittarius's charismatic energy to get us through the end of this year.

It is also the ending of a series of eclipses that started way back in May of 2020.

Think back to how far you have come, and what you have learned since that time. Now is the culmination of the events since then, meaning we may be at an end to a long running situation, or we may now be seeing the gifts of our labors, or feeling like things are finally starting to get under control.

Sun conjunct the moon on the eclipse gives a burst of energy and initiative as well, so it's a terrific time to get things done!

December 18th- Full Moon:

Decembers full moon in Gemini may have us connecting with our spiritual side, or maybe coming back to earth, if we've had our head in the clouds. The sign for Gemini is the twins, one representing our astral or spiritual side, and one representing our earthly side. Think of bringing these 2 sides into harmony with one another. Contemplate these two parts of yourself, and what they mean to you. Is there a part of yourself you are hiding from? Remember acceptance can't come until we see the truth, and face it. New insights may be revealed during this full moon. You may want to take the time to meditate and connect to the messages that are there to receive.

December 19th- Venus Retrograde:

Venus is the ruler of our relationships, both with ourselves, our finances, and the world at large. Retrograde tends to bring up topics from the past, so those relationships and finances may come into focus right now, until retrograde ends in January. When retrograde ends we will get a clearer picture of why those things came up, and what we needed to learn from revisiting them.

December 21st- Winter Solstice- Sun moves into Capricorn

Winter solstice in the northern hemisphere has been celebrated for centuries as the "birth of the new sun." It is the shortest day and longest night of the year. It is a time for new beginnings. This is a wonderful day to write down you intentions for the present. After all, each day is a new beginning!

December 21st is also the day the sun moves into Capricorn. Capricorn is an earth sign and therefore a grounded sign. Capricorn is also organized, and level headed, goal oriented, and down to earth. Capricorns are born leaders, and now is a good time to step up, and take leadership in the narrative of your life!   

Overall December is a pretty busy month with some strong energies coming in. Self care is very important, and self love. This is a very hard time of year for many people. Remember to be kind, understanding, and forgiving to yourself, and others. We are all doing the best we can with what we have. 

Shine your light bright friends, and allow others to do the same!
