This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun/Moon conjunction on December 04, 2021. It gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study should be nuanced by connecting it to your birth chart and to your Transits and Progressions using predictive techniques.

Most impacted signs during the lunation:
Mutable signs, especially 2nd decan, and Cardinal signs, especially 3rd decan
The Neptunian wave begins, relational and emotional crisis at the end of the year
The social planets have gained a lot of speed at the end of the year, especially Jupiter, ruler of the new Moon in Sagittarius, which is about to return to Pisces, its other domicile, at the end of the year 2021.
Saturn also finds its Square to Uranus in Taurus, which has been active for most of the summer!
These social forces are still “under a lot of pressure”, they have at the same time a charge of confrontation with authority, of revolt, but not just with the intention of “emancipating ourselves in our minds”, but also with the intention of proposing realizations in reality.
We can say that the social issues raised at this time are “already well known”, but that the time has come to really turn the necessary pages…
It is likely that from this December lunation onwards, the Neptunian wave that has emerged since last spring will again take more and more space!
So it will be particularly important to analyze here what you may have realized or what may have emerged during the late spring and early summer…
Emotional receptivity can be increased, even sensitivity, and this can be found in everything that requires creativity, but also in devotional, sacrificial parts.
It is important to ask ourselves individually: how do we understand this Neptunian energy? what place does it have in our lives now? and if so, is there a likely externalization that we can allow throughout the year 2022 to come?
Of course, the answer will be different for each one of us, depending on whether we understand these energies well or whether they are more “enigmatic” for us…
This new Moon in Sagittarius is placed at the decreasing square of Neptune’s transit in Pisces, which adds to the symbolism of “personal and psychological integration” of these energies, and which also underlines that what is at stake here will find a real full bloom only around the new Moon of March 2022, which will then be in clear conjunction with Jupiter/Neptune! (not before, there is indeed this whole temporality where the Neptunian forces will be reinforced)
In the fast transits, Venus is also beginning to be stationary in conjunction with the transit of Pluto in Capricorn, this will mark the whole of the end of 2021, as well as a large part of the beginning of 2022, the first quarter.
I will have the opportunity to come back more specifically to this retrograde motion, but let’s reiterate that the relational and emotional areas should be analyzed directly since the end of November and the beginning of December.
If you have a particular encounter during this period, or if you have an unusual exchange with your partner, it is possible that this will mark the middle term much more deeply!
Venus retrograde motion is always the sign of a period of “crisis of values” (of their reconfiguration) and the conjunction of Pluto can add corrosiveness, sharpness, but also a very important charge of transformation and metamorphosis!
The Plutonian forces can activate at the same time certain passion, intensity, violence, certain mechanisms of power relations, possessiveness, jealousy, manipulation/domination… And through Capricorn, the Venusian energies are also very “contained”, introverted, they can nevertheless have difficulty to externalize the feelings.
Many of the energies of the period force the questioning of a previously established balance (whether on a social or relational and emotional level), but this New Moon is really to be understood as the beginning of a period of several months which will be devoted to this… Not everything can be settled in this one lunation, and the meeting of several medium-term influences underline that the important deadline for this will really be March 2022!
We may well become more aware of this temporality, especially from the Full Moon of December 19, 2021. This mid-cycle lunar phase could well make something “burst”, corresponding to a sharp argument, to something coming to light and forcing the questioning of our previous values or relationships, even if this also may reactivate some wounds of self-confidence in the process! In any case, not everything can be settled quickly, there is an evolutionary work of several months behind…
Venus goes retrograde in this second half of the lunation, and this planetary function is likely to be particularly demanding over the period, not tolerating the same things as before, but demanding time accordingly…
