I’m sharing with you my December Astro Journal flip through.
I’ve been journaling for years and I do dabble with all sorts of journals spreads, but this month I got a bit more organized and have got some images to show you of the journal pages I created for December 2021.
Cover Page
Astro Info
This page shows all the important astrological ingresses, lunar phases and planetary retrogrades for the month.
I also draw the zodiac in the natural position with Aries at the Ascendant point.
Sign Colors
You’ll notice that I colour my zodiac signs in specific colours and these are related to the colour wheel.
The fire signs are the primary colours, so Aries is red, Leo is yellow and Sagittarius is blue.
The air signs are the secondary colours so Gemini is orange, Libra is green and Aquarius is violet.
Then the earth and water signs become the tertiary colours, so we have Taurus is tangerine Cancer is apricot, Virgo is chartreuse or lime green, Scorpio is turquoise, Capricorn is purple and Pisces is magenta.
Ingresses
On the outer ring I show how all the planets move during December.
Many planets stay in the same sign, some planets change signs and one planet is stations retrograde.
Main Lunar Phases
I also indicate the four main Lunar phases of New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon and Last Quarter.
Yule
Wheel of the Year
My Yule page is an acknowledgement of the wheel of the year as the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21 we are at the solstice.
I have the symbol for Yule in the top left and on the top right has an oakleaf to symbolize the movement from the Holly King to the Oak King which happens on Yule.
Yule and the solstice is the actual beginning of the wheel of the year.
Yule Log
It’s the dead of winter. In my drawing that I have a yule log burning in the fire. The idea is that you get one long big tree which is your you’ll log and you stick the fat and into the fireplace and you liked it on December 21 and as it slowly burns you push the tree into the great and I delete should be in for at least 12 days.
Dark to Light
Yule is a time where we are symbolizing the shift from the dark and we start to slowly move into the light.
This time of the year is symbolized by candles the fire and brightness.
Saturnalia
December 21st is the shortest day of the year it is also known as the Roman festival of Saturnalia.
Saturn rules Capricorn so it all fits in quite neatly.

It also works as a content calendar for my videos and blogs.
I have colored in every planetary movement and the Moon’s phases.

Jupiter entered the sign of Pisces on May 13th, 2021 for the first time in twelve years.
Jupiter as the Greater Benific
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and is traditionally known as “The Greater Benefic” which means it is a really good planet.
Jupiter takes twelve years to do a full orbit of the Sun and it spends about one year in each sign.
This loosely relates to the Chinese Astrology of twelve years of the Rat, Tiger and Monkey etc.
Jupiter will be in Pisces until 2022.
Jupiter’s Sign Rulership
Jupiter is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius and it is also the traditional ruler of Pisces before Neptune was discovered.
This means that in traditional and Hellenistic astrology Jupiter will be in rulership in Pisces.
During the year that Jupiter will be in Pisces, Saturn will still be in Aquarius.
This means that both of the large planets will be strong in their own signs.
Who This Will Affect
Over the next year, I anticipate that if you are an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) or a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), Jupiter will be more prominent for you.
If you are a fire sign (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) or an Air sign (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) sign then Saturn will probably be more influential for you.
As Jupiter transits through Pisces, it will affect each ascendant sign differently.
Check out how Jupiter’s passage through the sign of the Fish is likely to influence you by your ascendant sign below.
Aries Ascendent
Spirituality
During the next year you can anticipate a deeper connection to spirituality in your life.
If you are open to personal evolution, use this time to explore mysticism and your connection to faith, religion and how you see God.
Embrace meditation, prayer or yoga as tools to guide you through this time frame.
Live Your Dreams
This is the perfect time for you to create a dream for your life.
The first thing to do is to start a dream journal.
Every morning as you awake, jot down the main details about your dreams.
Déjà vu, visions, insights or flashes of inspiration that you receive during the day need to be paid attention to this year.
You can tune in to your clairvoyant abilities and use them to your advantage now.
Solitude
You probably will feel the urge to retreat from life a little more than usual now.
It is important that you have an adequate “me time” where you can spend an afternoon alone or maybe even a weekend to recharge your batteries.
Rest and recuperation are keywords for you this year.
They say if you can count the number of friends you have on one hand you are doing well.
Not everyone has a large pal’s network, but Jupiter’s passage through Pisces offers you some ideal moments to broaden your connections with companions.
This will be an impeccable time for you to grow your network.
It could be that your entourage, or the people you know, gets bigger although you may not necessarily consider them BFFs.
Friends and associates that you meet now potentially will have a lasting impression upon you.
Learn Together
Try to reach out to other people and keep connections going.
Share what you know with others.
It can be very easy to forget about classmates and before you know it, months have gone by.
Every week reach out to someone just to say, “Hello.”
It is as important for you and it is for them.
Groups
Anticipate moving in different circles with evolved people who have thought-provoking conversations and whom you see almost as visionaries.
Be alert to any “a-ha” moments that can improve your life.
The ideal place for you to go would be to a book club where you can learn new things.
This is the perfect time for you to publish anything that you’ve been working on it could be a book or it could be a blog post, or it could just be your opinion about something.
The important thing is to share your ideas with the world.
Jupiter will support you in getting your word out to the masses.
Educate
This is an ideal time for you to sign up for some adult educational classes or go back to school to finish that degree.
Use this time to explore thought-provoking subjects that interest you.
Anticipate an abundance of learning this year.
You may be surprised at the journey you take as you improve yourself through knowledge.
Travel
Although many cities are still in lockdown, you are likely to receive great offers to visit other places.
Become an armchair traveler, by reading books about the places you will visit one day.
Focus in on the art, architecture and cultural practices of other countries.
Consider every opportunity carefully but try to do some travelling this year.
This will be a time when other people will offer you things.
You are likely to receive many gifts but some of them will come with strings.
Be very aware of offers to up your credit limit is and, as tempting as it may be, think carefully before excepting every opportunity offered to you this year.
Intimacy
This is a period where your private life is likely to grow.
All intimate relationships have the potential to become more satisfying.
If you’re naturally retiring, you may find that you are now open able to open up to explorations in the bedroom.
Donations
Donations will be a feature of this period and they could go either way.
You may need to lean on the support and resources of other people which could be presented either in time or money, alternatively, you will be approached to donate to other people.
It could be as simple as spending a Saturday night looking after someone’s grandma or it could be a huge sacrifice that you are being asked to make if someone requests an organ donation from you.
For all Virgos, your primary one to one relationships will be of paramount importance this year.
If you are single, you are likely to meet someone really special.
If you are already in a relationship, you will find newfound happiness with your significant other.
Make sure to spend enough time together so your relationship can grow and blossom.
Collaborations
This is the perfect time to collaborate with others.
Typically, it may come down to a business relationship where you decide to work together for a common cause, or you may establish an official partnership, so that you can both benefit from the synergy of working together.
Consider every opportunity and don’t dismiss any out of turn.
Take an optimistic attitude and you will benefit by working with other people this year.
Other People
This will be a time when you are extremely likely to meet more people.
Not everyone will become your best friend, but how do you treat people that you do meet in passing will be important now.
Make sure that your karmic message of care, respect and how you treat other people is impeccable, because your action now will come back to you later.
If you are a Libra, this is the time to get your day-to-day life organized.
Create simple morning and evening rituals to help you withstand the ravages of the day.
Health
Choose to focus on healthy eating that nourishes your body and wards off ill health.
If you need a medical check, get it done early and use that as the set point for all improvement.
Do not ignore any sniffles and act immediately for the slightest cut or graze.
Job
Your job is a focus this period.
If you are unemployed. you are more likely to find work now than at any other time.
If you are a part-time employed and looking, opportunities will come your way.
If you have a job already and are quite happy, you may find that you receive job offers that you had not considered.
The important thing to bear in mind during this Jupiter transit, is that there may be other ways of working on a job that you had not considered before and which might be just what you need.
This is a year where you are likely to move house and depending on who you are, you may relocate multiple times.
Jupiter brings the urge to expand, so it could be that you want to get an additional room added to your home or work on finishing the basement.
You will have multiple good ideas through which to express this planetary energy.
The trick will be to know when to stop and not to take on a project that is way beyond your capabilities.
Family
In simple terms, your family is likely to expand this year which could happen in several ways.
A new child may be born, your daughter’s boyfriend could decide to move into your basement, or perhaps you take in your ageing parents to care for them.
Be prepared for people to be visiting and those who do will stay over a little longer than you had anticipated.
You are generous of spirit and this is the time to offer your home as shelter and succor to others.
Foundations
The foundations of your life will improve.
These changes can be shown in several ways.
You may finally accept the past and the family that you were born into as being OK.
This is a period to tap into your heritage and use it to support you as you go about your life.
Make sure you understand the origins of your family and choose to embrace some of these ideals in your current life.
2021 can be an important year when you get to know who you are and where you came from.
In your astrology journal, and referring to your natal chart, please do the following:
Decide on the condition of Jupiter in your natal chart.
Find the house that transiting Jupiter is in now.
Note which planets and points Jupiter will conjoin, oppose and square (use a one degree orb) as it passes through Pisces.
State the date that Jupiter will change houses for you as it transits in Pisces.
Extend Yourself
Write a short interpretation on Jupiter transiting Pisces and how it may potentialy unfold for you. Consider the houses, conjunctions and hard aspects (100 words).
