For you, December is a month when the lines between the past, present and future are always going to become blurred. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, bringing you to the final weeks of this old solar year before returning to Capricorn on 21st December to begin your birthday month and new solar year. While this is something that the Sun will always do on the December solstice, Venus and Mercury have a loser timetable and can return before or after the Sun, blurring the lines. That is the case this year, with Venus already in Capricorn as you move into the new month and Mercury still in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart when the year ends. However, with a large two week gap where the focus can just be on the wind down of your old solar year, something last experienced in 2007. That is because when Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres leave Capricorn on 7th December, because Pluto had left 17 days earlier and his 16 year visit is over, there will be no planets here until the Sun returns. This will be a chance for a firebreak between one solar year and the next. Until they leave and knowing that the Sun has yet to return, Venus and Ceres will focus more on aligning your wants, needs and priorities for the future than on the when, where and how. It is when Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres leave that they will both join Pluto in his first full month in your income sector. While Pluto is here for the next 20 years and is playing a long game, as the planet of money, desire and attraction Venus will be working to make the final weeks of the year as lucrative as possible while Ceres will be less focused on the money and instead will begin her first deep dive into your income needs and priorities in four years. With Pluto here now until 2044, this couldn’t be more timely. This is something that could get an early boost from a Full Moon in your work sector on 15th December.
Until she leaves Capricorn on 7th December Venus, the planet of love is working to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for a new solar year that doesn’t even begin until the Sun returns on 21st December. This is Venus’ second visit to Capricorn this year but knowing that she will spend less than a week here in 2025 and not until the very end of the year, there is a lot of weight on her shoulders as she works to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for a year that you have yet to see or experience. While a little blind faith will go a long way, it won’t be displaced. With Pluto, the planet of change and transformation having just wrapped up his 16 year transit through Capricorn and with the dwarf planet Ceres on a deep dive into your needs and priorities since February, you will have a good sense of what feels right both personally and on the romantic and relationship fronts. With Venus and Ceres both leaving Capricorn on 7th December, in their final days they will be bringing your wants, needs and priorities into closer alignment. While the Moon will make its last visit to your romantic and relationship sectors for the year after Venus is gone, this will be a chance to tweak things but also to put those desires and expectations into practice. The Moon will make its last visit to your romantic sector from 12th December to 14th December and coming full circle from last month’s Full Moon, these romantically charged lunar vibes could be a lot more potent. With Uranus still in retrograde motion here, this will also amplify a sense of romantic nostalgia while giving you a chance to embrace the doors open to the past. It is a few days later that the Moon will make its last visit to your relationship sector for the year from 16th December to 18th December. With Mars in retrograde motion by then and on his way back to your relationship sector in the New Year, this will be a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware.
While Pluto had been in your income sector for over two months before he retrograded back out in early September, his first full month back is going to have a very different feel. Whether it was the less than three months the planet of change and transformation spent in your income sector in early 2023 or the over seven months he had spent here before retrograding back out, Pluto never got past the doorstep and it was always with the intention of having a look and then backing away, with no intention to stay. This was a case of window shopping, getting a sense of what changes you might want to make when Pluto returned for good. As you move into the new month Pluto is back and this time he is here for good and you are just 11 days into what will be a 20 year stay. With Pluto in your income sector now until 2044, this will also ensure that year after year there will be continuous planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence. However, Pluto is playing a long game while when Venus, the planet of money returns on 7th December she will be focused on capitalising on this now. With Venus here for the rest of the year but leaving on 3rd January, she will be working to bring the year to a lucrative end. Helping to kick this off will be the Moon’s return to your income sector from 5th December to 7th December. This will be a busy day on both sides of the financial fence, but within hours of Venus’ return to your income sector, the dwarf planet Ceres will return to begin her first deep dive into your income needs and priorities in four years. It is also on 7th December that Mars will turn retrograde in your financial sector, something that will keep the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos here for the rest of the year but will also see him retrograde back out in the New Year. Helping to both bring this financial year home and get a better sense of where to channel Mars’ financial passions and fighting spirit, will be when the Moon returns for its last visit to your financial sector for the year from 18th December to 20th December.
