December brings many welcome changes, including the “Age of Aquarius” that’s coming our way later in the month. This cosmic event will usher in wide-sweeping changes allowing opportunities for healing, transformation, and higher-minded, humanitarian pursuits. We’ll start to connect more—even it’s virtually—with the aim of building a better world together.
Here’s a breakdown of December’s cosmic vibes:
- Chatty Mercury enters Sagittarius on December 1st, compelling self-expression.
- The solar eclipse in Sagittarius occurs on Dec 14th, inspiring us all to embrace a new personal and global philosophy.
- Tender Venus enters Sagittarius on December 15th, making us take risks in love.
- Austere Saturn reenters Aquarius on December 17th (taking us back to March when it first moved into Aquarius), pushing us to work hard to bring change.
- Lucky Jupiter enters Aquarius on December 19th, uniting the world.
- Talkative Mercury takes on a more serious vibe when it enters Capricorn on December 20th, providing needed perspective.
- The sun enters reflective Capricorn the day of the winter solstice on December 21st, allowing us to settle our energies.
- The great conjunction, a planetary alignment that occurs every 20 years when Jupiter and Saturn connect in the sky, will take place. The last time this transit occurred in the sign of Aquarius was during the Middle Ages. This will make room for progressive shifts in culture, technology, medicine, and more.
- 2020 ends with the emotional cold full moon in Cancer on December 29th—an intense cleansing of the psychic palate in preparation for a new and better year.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Rumor has it that curiosity confounded the cat, but you aren’t looking for drama, just the truth, and to better understand your fellow feline’s catty behaviorisms. Prepare yourself to be in receptive mode on December 14th. Be ready to learn about the wondrous world that surrounds you—and your friends in it. Enjoy this playful month—like the kitten that you are with a ball of string, bouncing around with new information keeping you curious and questing.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You’re beginning to understand the necessity of boundaries in relationships. Particularly, the importance of setting limits with others. Standing your ground with your pet parents and your pack will be the core theme of the solar eclipse on December 14th, as you aren’t giving into their whims. You have a schedule and it’s important that your pet parents respect that. Holding them accountable and making them commit to time dedicated solely to you is essential now.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The month of December is allowing you to reassess who are the MVPs in your pack and who is the weakest link. Learning who you can and cannot trust on the 14th will be hard. It’s important to know right away who is on your side and who’s your frenemy. Once you know where you stand with your squad (and vice versa), you’ll be able to lean into the backend of the month with ease.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Knowing your worth is always important, especially when others aim to bring you down. Being the tough crustacean that you are, no one will be able to steal your thunder especially during the great conjunction on December 21st. Any four legged creature who creates drama with you will soon learn of your innate fierceness. With just one glare, you can win any argument and let them know that you are a force to be reckoned with.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Aren’t you a little Casanova this month! Romance is on your mind, as you’re meeting a new crush at the dog park on December 14th. The following day, you’ll make your big move by playfully running, romping, and wrestling with them. Odds are the feeling is mutual, which will be known to you by December 19th. Do we hear wedding bells ringing in 2021?
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Home is where your heart is in December. Finding the motivation for a walk will be challenging, because, baby, it’s cold outside! But, you will be motivated to do errands that focus on household repairs and renovations with your pet parents on the 14th. TBH, they’ll need your discerning eye and opinion to help them choose the most comfy rug for the living room.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
The month of December is making you extra snappy, which is creating tensions between you and your pet parents. It’s not that you’re annoyed or mad at them, but you are ua little more vocal than usual. Frustration will build on December 14th, but you’ll be able to charm your way out of the situation that arises on the 15th because of it with a soft purr or by wagging your cute tail.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
A move is in the cosmos for your pet mom or dad this month, which may make you act out on December 19th when you hear the news. Don’t be sad! Think of it as a great opportunity for you to live freely and wildly with extra space in a home that has a a big backyard, grass, snow, and your own area to hide toys. Instead of getting moody, think of this move as a wonderful adventure.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
December is a magical time for self-discovery. Changes in your immediate environment and emotional state have left you wanting to reconnect with yourself. December 14th is an ideal time to actualize your goals and gain a better understanding of just-who-you-are. Meditate on your present and future visions. Take action. With the correct drive and determination, you will succeed (because you win at everything you do in life). 98 3/4% guaranteed!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You’ve been feeling overlooked during the past month, a sentiment that has made you feel as though you can’t express your truest self—who is going to see or hear you? Luckily, December is urging you to take back your power. You’ll be barking up a storm and purring your heart out (especially from the 20th onward until the end of the year, when Mercury aligns with your sun). December 21st is the ideal time of the month to assert yourself to others.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Luck is on your side this month, as Jupiter aligns with your Sun on December 19th. The caveat is that you may be getting impatient for the other shoe…we mean, paw bootie…to drop on December 21st during the great conjunction, when it feels like everything should be falling into place. Don’t get overwhelmed by fear or exasperation, remember that this is just a moment in time and to take one day at a time. You are a strong canine or feline who isn’t afraid of what the future holds. Good or bad—you got this!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Surrender to a higher power during the solar eclipse on December 14th. Letting go of the past, grudges, and resentments during this time will prove to be helpful during the great conjunction on December 21st. While secrets may be swimming around you—don’t retreat, sensitive Pisces. Immerse yourself in pet meditation and yoga, and aim for simple self-acceptance.
