These December 2022 self-care horoscopes for each of the 12 zodiac signs are based on the upcoming astrological transits, (the movement of the planets around the sky), and some of the general themes that are going to be activated for you in the coming month.
As a witch, I’ll be sharing some predictions, insight, and inspiration on how you can most effectively nurture yourself and practice self-care this month based on the cosmos.
I highly recommend that you generate your birth chart at www.astro.com or www.astro-charts.com and read the horoscope for your rising sign but if you only know your sun sign, you can read for sun signs too or instead.
Please note that in order to generate a chart with an accurate rising sign, you will need your exact birth time, as even a few minutes can actually make a difference.
December 2022 Astrological Transits
- Full Moon in Gemini (December 7): The full moon in Gemini is an opportunity to celebrate the friendships we hold dear and to socialize with those who love and inspire us. This full moon is taking place conjunct Mars retrograde in Gemini, so this will be a powerful opportunity to shine a light on the conversations you most need to have.
- Jupiter enters Aries (begins December 20): Jupiter is beginning a new 12-year cycle through the zodiac signs as it moves into Aries, the first sign in the zodiac. As the planet of luck and expansion, Jupiter is going to be calling in abundance for us – so long as we focus on taking aligned action towards what we want.
- Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn (December 29 – January 18, 2023): We end the year, (and begin the next), with Mercury retrograde. This may make our new year resolutions and intentions feel a bit confusing or muddled and that’s okay – take the time to really sit with what you want in the new year and how you can sustainably create it.
