Welcome to December!
Combining Astrology and Numerology for the final month of the year gives us a sense of completion with #9 as the Universal month number for December 2022. With December being the 12th month of the year, breaking the #12 down to its root number 3 and 2022 being a 6 universal year number, and 9 as the universal month number. The significance of the numbers 3 – 6 – 9 is in the numerology triad of feelings, art, and creativity. Think about your experiences in 2022! The #6 rules responsibility, love, healing, and rebirth.
December Universal Month 9
9 is the number of unconditional love, wisdom, leadership, and endings. Is there something that is holding you back from stepping into your leadership role? I am talking on a general basis because we are all leaders in our own lives. If you are following someone else or codependent in a relationship, then it is time to release that and step into your empowerment shoes! What is needed for the month of December is endings, so let go of things that no longer serve your highest and best.
The synchronicity of #9 and December being the last month of the year is urging you to get rid of anything that is keeping you in a place of resistance or disharmony. Release the extra baggage that is weighing you down. You need to lighten up! This can be people, emotions, or holding on to the past.
This month will be a time to cleanse and heal anything that has been experienced and now it can be released. There is a humanitarian vibe so you may be called to help others. It’s a time to resolve problems, conflicts, and clear emotional stuff within you. You may find that this month will test you, however, through tests and trials you will gain strength and courage.
This is an awesome way to end the year so that you can start 2023 with a clean slate!
Planets in Retrograde
Planets switch directions and change signs, and this does have an effect on us. When planets are in retrograde it’s a time to reflect, review, and reprogram based on the meaning of the planet. Mars went retrograde on October 31 and stays retrograde until January 13, 2023. Mars is a personal planet that governs survival instinct, sexual desire, and self-assertive power. Mars is in communicative Gemini so use the powers of communication to get what you want. However, this is the time to step back, reflect and process what you are going to say before you verbally express it.
Uranus is still retrograde in the sign of Taurus and moves direct on January 23, 2023. Uranus is a revolutionary game changer and Taurus themes are money, safety, and security. Jupiter moved directly on November 24th and remains in Pisces until December 21 when it changes signs and moves into Aries. On December 29th Mercury goes retrograde until January 19, 2023. While Mercury is in retrograde reflect on your communication style.
Full Moon in Gemini at 16 degrees on December 7 & 8 –Dec 8 at 4:08 am GMT, Dec 7 at 11:08 pm EST and 8:08 pm PST
A full moon is when the Sun is opposite the Moon and for this particular lunation, Mars is sitting directly with the Moon at 16°. Creating a triple 16 code with the Sun, Moon, and Mars this is a time to tune in to your intuition, it is the sign of intuitive breakthroughs. #16 will help you with the connection of your intuition and counteract irritability and frustration that may arise. Listen to your inner voice!
The Sun is in Sagittarius a mutable fire sign that loves to explore and expand its knowledge. Gemini is a mutable air sign that loves to talk and share knowledge. Mars is the ruling planet of the first zodiac sign Aries which governs your instinctual nature, and warrior energy that needs to stand up when things are difficult and get things resolved. The Sun opposite Mars will increase the assertive power used to achieve your desires.
Gemini governs communication and information with Mars conjunct with the Moon, you may be emotional or feel irritable, or impatient, and it’s possible that your temper may flare. Before you begin to act in an irrational way, back off. Change your energy to find a place of peace and calmness. Moving your body will change your frame of mind, perhaps a brisk walk, or exercise.
There are other aspects of this Full Moon that help tone down the energy. Connect with your heart! When you are in a state of heart-centered awareness it’s easier to calm yourself down to remain neutral.
There will be energy during this Full Moon that will bring balance to your work or career area of your life with the potential of attracting more clients, more business, and moving you forward. A new direction in your life may be discovered through a breakthrough and revolutionary shift, giving your momentum.
Warnings!! Be careful there is the potential of overdoing things, overspending, and overindulging. As we are traveling through the Sun sign of Sagittarius there is a greater possibility of you, overeating or drinking too much alcohol.

The 2 retrogrades from the mind planet Mercury and the instinctive energy and planet of desires Mars are really powerful energies ending this year with a surge of
Spiritual Light infusing our mind, body, and soul.
This is your chance to try something new, something that you have always wanted to do and never felt was the right time. There is assistance with the earth’s energies that will help to ground your new venture into existence. You will feel safe and secure about this!
Our brain is an interpreter that is supposed to go with the flow allowing it to receive spiritual information through dreams, meditation, your spirit guide, or chance encounters.
This would be a good time to do artwork or anything creative. You could write a romance or fantasy novel or a piece of music. This is not the time to do left brain work like studying or writing serious or technical subjects.
Last week of the year!
As mentioned above on December 29th, Mercury the planet that governs our mind stations retrograde!
