December 2022 I Ching Horoscopes

Pisces

Your December trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called Meng or Youthful folly. Sometimes life can teach us painful lessons, especially if we ignore advice we are given. True understanding sometimes only comes with experience. It could be you learning the lesson, or you could be looking on in frustration as someone else learns the hard way. Ken is asking you to remain still, detached, and to reflect. If you are at the centre of the life lesson reflect on how it might have been avoided. If its someone else, you can’t do anything to help them. K’an is gently telling you that you need to accept how things are. When the lesson has been understood you will see how to move forward. It’s all about how you approach things. The lesson is not about cosmic revenge. So don’t feel the world is out to get you and don’t indulge in ‘I told you so’ if it’s someone else struggling. This is a chance for real growth if taken in the right way. Sometimes the greatest reward comes from the most painful experience.

Aries

Your December trigrams are Sun (Wind) over K’un (Earth), and the hexagram is called Kaun or Contemplation. Sitting in quiet contemplation of anything is not really your style but it will pay dividends. You can be very passionate with strong views. In December you need to accept that your view isn’t the only one and that life is not all black and white. Sun is all about gentleness and persistence. K’un is counselling patience and advising you to follow another’s lead this time. You need to look back and be honest about mistakes you have made in the past. Reflect not only on the mistake but why you made it – the thoughts you had at the time. All actions are driven by our thoughts. Wrong thoughts will drive wrong actions. When you are in command of your thoughts, you have great power. Sitting in quiet contemplation is one way to notice your thoughts and learn how to change them so you don’t repeat mistakes from the past. They are your thoughts…it’s up to you.

Taurus

Your December trigrams are Chen (Thunder) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Keui Mei or Wanting empowers evil.
However much you might want something to be different, sometimes all you can do is accept things are as they are. Stressing about things you have no control over just wastes energy that could be put to better use. Chen is telling you quite loudly that things have to change. And if you have no power of external issues there is only one thing that can change…you. It’s time to compromise, stop being stubborn and let your patient practical side run things. Making the best of things is what you are good at. Tui is asking you to look for the good and the joyous in the situation. Tui is also reminding you to approach things with the childlike wonder that can imagine a cardboard box is a spaceship. Watch for unexpected inspiration on the internet, and take every chance you can to do things you love to nourish your soul.

Gemini

Your December trigrams are K’an (Water) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Ch’ieh or Limitation. In December you may feel as if you are trapped in a bubble. The good news is you will be able to break out, but it will take time. K’an represents a hidden danger. Something or someone is not as they seem. You are being asked to use your ears to listen to what other people are saying. You may have to let go of some cherished ideas; you may have to admit you were wrong about someone. When you have worked out what is really going on, the way forward will become obvious. Tui is reminding you there is nothing wrong in relaxing and having fun. Tui is called ‘The Joyous’ for a reason. But Tui also rules the mouth, and you are being asked to be careful about what you say. Words once spoken cannot be recalled or unheard. However much you feel someone needs to hear your great idea, now may not be the time. You need to learn that until people are ready to change it won’t happen and your good ideas will fall on deaf ears. Don’t waste your energy.

Cancer

Your December trigrams are Ch’ien (Heaven) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Kou or Coming to meet. December is a month when you need to keep your mind open to possibilities rather than seeing problems. This is especially so if you find yourself try into make a point to someone else. Resist the temptation to use your natural powers of persuasion and think WHY winning the argument is so important to you. Ch’ien is telling you to use your wisdom and see you don’t have to win every
argument. Sun is asking you to be gentle in your handling of others. Sun is also reminding you there is a subtle balance between being too timid to do anything, and too persistent to continue with an approach that isn’t working. There is a risk of conflict but if you keep your attitude soft, gentle and responsive it can be avoided. Focus your energies where they can do best, and Ch’ien will ensure everything just flows.

Leo

Your December trigrams are Li (Fire) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called K’uei or Opposition. There is a huge potential for misunderstanding things this month. Keep your generous side to the fore and be prepared to see the best in things and people. Li is asking you to see things with clarity. Tui rules speech and you are being asked to think very carefully before you speak. Make sure you know the real situation. Things may not be exactly as they seem. Something may look bad on the
surface but actually but quite good when you dig deeper. Resist the temptation to think everything and everyone is against you. All you need to do is be you at your very best and it will all work out. Creation can be a messy and chaotic process. Don’t see the mess as mess…see it is a spur to find innovative ways to solve the problem, and a better way than you could ever have imagined.

Virgo

Your December trigrams are K’un (Earth) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Sheng or Pushing upwards. However hard it is to stay positive, don’t let worry cloud your mind. Worry is your imagination working overtime, probably worrying that you are not going to achieve what you want. K’un is asking you to become reflective and to listen to your gut feelings. The worry is coming from your ego and at one level you know it’s all going to ok. Sun is asking you to be gentle, flexible, looking for the small cracks where you creep through. The wind finds the smallest of cracks. But be gentle. You want to sneak through not break things. Above all K’un is asking you to be patient. However much you want things sorted now, that’s not going to happen. But don’t give up because the universe isn’t giving up on you and really all you have to do is to be you and watch things happen round you. The changes you want are possible.

Libra

Your December trigrams are Ch’ien (Heaven) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called You or Coming to meet. In December you need to watch out for a number of things. Don’t start to carry a grudge. Don’t fall into the trap of arguing for arguments sake. Don’t be too harsh with other people and don’t expect everything to make sense. Sometimes there is no ‘why’. Sometimes things are just like that. In December you need to co-operate even if that means stepping a little out of your comfort zone. But you must also remain true to those principles that really matter to you. Accepting other people see the world differently may mean making compromises but if you are gentle with those who are causing your problems you stand a much better chance of getting them to shift their position. And you can both ‘come to meet’ in the shared ideas.

Scorpio

Your December trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called Meng or Youthful Folly. Your natural passions may tempt you to try to manipulate things or people in December. Don’t try it! In December you need to approach everything with an open and curious mind, a mind open to possibilities you may never have considered before. Ken is asking you stop rushing about and just be still. K’an is asking you to let go of ideas that don’t serve you well. Cherished ideas and beliefs can sometimes become a trap. Ka’n is asking you to listen to other people who may well be trying to warn you about something or someone. K’an often indicates a hidden dimension that can only be seen and understood when you look at things without your normal prejudices. It may be that you need to learn something about yourself. If you can approach things with the idea that everything and everyone has potential you will get to where you need to be.

Sagittarius

Your December trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Chien or Development. It is an undeniable fact that sometimes change only happens as a result of uncomfortable life lessons. You may find yourself experiencing this in December. You are being asked to do something that doesn’t come easily – sit and wait and see what happens. There is no point in getting annoyed with yourself or other people. Sun is inviting you take a deep a breath before you say things. Ken is inviting you to curb your natural impatience. Ken is also an invitation to meditate and be mindful. You need to be aware of the lesson you need to learn before any learning can happen. Ken is also inviting you to take a wider perspective on things and people. Only then will you understand why the small details that are annoying you are important. Get through this and things will be much better.

Capricorn

Your December trigrams are Tui (Lake) over K’un (Earth) and the hexagram is called Ts’ui or Gathering together. You know who you are, and you know what you need to do but sometimes other people don’t just get it. In December you need to be careful about how you interact with other people because they may well not make things easy for you. Have the courage to stick to your guns, but don’t be drawn into trying to change other people’s minds. Don’t get upset if people disagree with you and
especially don’t get worried if no progress seems to be being made. K’un is reminding you that you can’t hurry the growth of a plant and that the initial growth happens out of sight. Tui is suggesting you take some time for yourself to chill out and just do something that makes you happy. But don’t catastrophise. You have the chance to lay foundations for some really good things going forward if you are prepared to be patient now.

Aquarius

Your December trigrams are Tui (Lake) over Ch’ien (Heaven) and the hexagram is called Kuei or Breakthrough. However worried you may get about things that happen; this hexagram is telling you to just chill. It’s all going to be OK. Don’t let events or people tempt you into stepping outside the limits of what you know you are capable of doing. This is not the time to push your boundaries. Chien is asking you to be guided by your inner wisdom. Ch’ien is also a signal that the momentum is there for what you want but it needs everything to be in the right place, which it almost is, and the right
time, which isn’t quite yet. Tui is asking you to see the beauty and spirituality in things and people. Tui is also reminding you words have a lot of power so choose yours wisely, guided by Ch’iens inner wisdom. Relationships with people matter and the right relationships won’t constrain you. But the best relationships happen when both people are open and honest. You don’t have to agree on everything.
