December Femastrology 2021
by Astrologer and Psychic, Victoria Bearden
The Last Month of 2021
As you’ve probably noticed, 2021 is not going to go quietly into the night. Saturn in Aquarius will make a tense square to Uranus in Taurus for the third and final time this year, bringing up controversy, setbacks and obstacles. Some of this will undoubtedly be sparked by confusion about the Omicron variant, and what to do about it. There will be some stunning headlines in the news, particularly during the first week of the month. There will be breakthroughs as well. But we will have to pick through all the inconsistent information along the way. So stay grounded and be safe.
There’s also a Solar Eclipse right at the beginning of the month and Venus Retrograde in Capricorn right in the middle, just to complicate things a little further. I’ll be honest, that means there’ll be some drama, uncertainty, and lots of swirling emotion. There will be VERY BIG realizations, too. This is a time of great personal transformation. Fate is moving in a powerful way. Things we learn this December will help us to chart the right course for the New Year, and far beyond it, so pay close attention to what’s happening in your life.
Patience will definitely be a virtue. Some things are going to take some extra effort this December. And people are going to act weird. You can count on it. Moods will be swinging. The holidays are like that anyway, but these planetary combos will definitely add to it. Knowing this ahead of time will help you minimize any upset when things slip sideways. Make a pact with yourself to be the one whose feathers don’t get ruffled. Be super flexible with your plans. Remember that the spirit of the holidays isn’t about all the details being perfect. It’s about love and sharing. And make sure to give the people around you plenty of room to have a few melt downs. Focus on the positive! Forewarned is forearmed! Get your attitude adjusted ASAP, and you’ll be ready.
The key to December will be adaptability and tenacity. If at first you don’t succeed, try again. There will be restrictions and limitations to get through. We can do it. It’s still one step forward, two steps back, but it’s temporary. Celebrate the things that go right this month and release the things that don’t. When this year ends, Saturn and Uranus are done fighting, and that’s big. That doesn’t mean things change overnight. But it does mean that we’ll all have a better time fixing problems and making new plans in 2022. Believe it or not, we are getting closer and closer to a more normal way of life. So, hang on and keep your head on your shoulders as we head for the finish line.
A Holiday Wish for You
The planets are a bit tangled up this December, and the holidays can be tough on people. If you find yourself feeling off kilter, remember that our true strength comes from within. That strength flows to us, and through us, from the Source, Spirit, or God. We are not separate. We are connected on every level, even though sometimes it might not feel that way. That’s when we have to remember that help is available. Positivity is always flowing. We are the angels, helpers and healers on this earth. And the awesome, restorative power of Mother Nature is here for us, too. Reminding yourself of these truths can help with even the heaviest burdens. It is my holiday wish that you can rest assured in this knowledge. And if you need something, or someone, in your life, don’t hesitate to call out to Spirit. Reach out. Connect to your fellow beings. You will be heard. And it’s okay to expect miracles. If you need one, put it out there.
Looking Back and Looking Ahead
Astrological events of the past couple of years are defining new territory. Our awareness has been dramatically altered. We have been forced to adapt to things we never expected. So many of us have been pushed out of our comfort zone. The changes and transformation we are experiencing will continue. But we will get better and better at it. So don’t run away from changes, in the world, or in your own life. Success will come from a willingness to be different, not a stubbornness to stay the same.
Astrology outlines the grand cycles that affect us throughout time. In other words, there’s always something! The planets clash, they push us around, and we react. And hopefully, we learn something. This last round of world changing astrological transits may seem like the biggest thing that’s ever happened. In some ways, maybe it is. But it’s all part of a bigger picture, and our collective consciousness will shape how things evolve and how we will evolve. This is why we must always support the positive and connect to other positive people. It matters!
Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto
When you want to understand world events, major astrological transits hold the key. The planets at the root of what’s happening now are Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto. The main theme, geopolitically speaking, revolves around the ongoing battle for power and control over wealth, resources, territory, and technology. And the “big dogs,” China, Russia, and the US, are all vying for position. The pandemic has simply upped the ante. It brought in just the right amount of chaos and uncertainty to change the rules of the game.
On the other side of the struggle is humanity. When people become frustrated enough, they react, often, en masse. Still, it takes a lot to push people to change. Ultimately, the true test of how things will go is the will of the people. Citizens do still have power, at least in some places. I am NOT predicting doom and gloom, but the next few couple of years will be really something. People will be forced to stand up for what they want and believe in more and more. While were going through it, remember this. If enough people want things to be better, and they demand it, that’s the way it will go. The majority usually wins.
If you are wondering why things seem so polarized right now, don’t be. Planetary stress like this pushes some people to extremes. It’s just part of the process. There will be lots of back and forth and many a pissing contest politically, particularly in the US. People are fighting because things need to change. Some people are just fighting for power, while others are fighting for truth. We are witnessing a truly a revealing and revolutionary time. It’s important to remember that things like this have happened before, and they’ll happen again. We will get through it.
Our group destiny is going through an alteration. Actually, our present cycle is somewhat related to the 1960’s! That was also a time of great planetary change involving the same cast of characters, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto. Major events from 1963-68 included mass protests over the Vietnam War, civil rights, and women’s rights. Not to mention the Chinese “Cultural Revolution.”
The present cycle ranges from 2020 to 2023. The stage had been set long before, and the pandemic was the flashpoint. The good news is, when people get a wake-up call of this magnitude, it actually sparks a shift in consciousness and brand-new things are possible. In the end, the progressive innovators will lead the way, and win the day. And you can bank on that. So, get involved in things that represent progress, and you will be in the right place at the right time. Be willing to think outside the box.
The New Moon/Solar Eclipse is a 12° Sagittarius on December 3rd, 2021 at 11:42 PM, PST. The total solar eclipse will sweep across Antarctica on December 4, 2021. People located at the southernmost tips of South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand will experience the partial phases. Even if you aren’t around to see it, you will most definitely “experience” it. Eclipses always trigger major events, both in our personal lives, and globally. This is the companion to the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse from November. The New Moon represents a chance to reset the energy for the month ahead. The Eclipse Energy makes it MUCH more powerful. If you need a new start or new direction in your life, this one is for you. Set your intentions! The Sun, Moon, and Mercury will align in fiery Sagittarius, amplifying matters connected to truth, justice, and international relations. Information you receive around this time could be crucial for your future success in 2022. Venus, the planet of love and money, lines up with Pluto, the transformer. This will unearth powerful emotions. Use this energy to release past hurts, and open up to more love and abundance.
There’s a Full Moon at 27° Gemini on December 18, 2021, at 8:34 PM PST. The Sagittarius/Gemini polarity is lively and active, so there will be lots of energy flying around in every direction. The trick is, staying centered so you can direct it somewhere. Make a point not to multi-task too much. Venus in Capricorn aligns with Pluto and prepares to turn retrograde. We will all be diving into the heart of our emotional lives. Use this energy to access the deepest levels of healing for old wounds from the past.
Venus goes Retrograde in Capricorn on December 19, 2021 and will remain retrograde until the end of January 2022. This signals a major review session about both love and money. This is not necessary a bad thing, but has a serious tone, nonetheless. Relationships that are on the rocks could go south, but only if they are not meant to be. Some relationships from the past may resurface. It will be up to you to decide if they are meant to stay or simply up for review so you can move on. And people will need to sort out their finances. Being conservative and practical will help. Focus on keeping your emotions in balance and take care of yourself. Interestingly, the planetoid Chiron, the wounded healer, goes direct today, giving us added assistance to get through it all. Make a conscious choice to be gentle and kind, especially to yourself.
Winter Solstice occurs on December 21, 2021 at 7:59 AM PST. It’s the shortest day and the longest night as the Sun goes into Earth Sign Capricorn. Its symbolism is the return of the light, or the return of the Sun. This day is highly symbolic to all earth centered religions and will be celebrated around the world. The Winter Solstice chart has significance for the entire season until Spring. Venus in Pluto in Capricorn Venus and Pluto will oppose the Moon in Cancer, highlighting the need to find ways to accommodate the needs of everyone, not just one specific group.
Opportunity Days: December 4, 5,6, 15, 18, 25, and 26
