While Saturn is back in direct motion in your career sector but only just and Neptune, planets of hopes and dreams won’t turn direct until 8th December. With both having had to come to a standstill in order to turn direct, the asteroid Juno happy to keep work and job matters on track and Mars not returning to your income sector until the New Year, there is a chance to take your foot off the gas moving into the final weeks of this professional year. You are not only positioned for a positive start to 2025 on the income, work and career fronts, but with both Saturn and Neptune leaving your career sector early next year and Venus joining them on 3rd January, you can afford to hold back. This is a chance to quietly tie up the loose ends of one professional year before starting the next. At the same time, as Pluto settles into his first full month back in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and here now until 2044, the days of all work and no play are over. As you move into the new month Pluto has only been back for 11 days, with Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres’ return on 7th December the point where the planet of change and transformation’s influence will start to be felt. While there has been on again/off again influence in this adventurous part of your chart since early 2023, with Pluto back this is now locked into place for the next 20 years. Until joining Pluto, Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres will be using their final days before leaving your financial sector on 7th December to bring your financial wants, needs and priorities into closer alignment. Both were here when Pluto ended his 16 year visit last month and knowing that your financial sector will remain empty until the Sun returns two weeks later on 21st December, the when, where and how can wait until then. It might not be until Mercury returns to your financial sector in the New Year that you will need to use his smart head for money to work on your financial game plan and resolutions moving forward.
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. By the time you move into the new month Venus, the planet of love has already been and gone, but not before giving your heart a voice and a sense of what you want from your relationships that can be used as a starting point. You also begin the month with Mercury, the planet of communication not only in your relationship sector as well but in retrograde motion, where his main focus is on giving your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. With Mercury not turning direct until 16th December, he will still be in retrograde motion and still focused on giving the past and unsaid words a voice when Mars turns retrograde in your communication sector on 7th December. This is something that is keeping both here for the rest of the year and for a nine day period, both Mars’ war on communication barriers and Mercury’s focus on just having the communication lines open will be focused on the past. This also means that while Mars will remain in retrograde motion for the rest of the year and until retrograding back out of your communication sector on 6th January, Mercury can start moving things forward during the Sun’s final days before leaving your relationship sector on 21st December. Meanwhile, the month not only begins with the Moon having just returned to your relationship sector but with a New Moon on 1st December offering a chance to draw a new line in the sand from day one. The Moon will come full circle from 28th December to 30th December, with this last visit for the year a chance to ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware moving into the New Year. With Mercury still here and Mars still in retrograde motion in your communication sector, with the communication lines open in all directions. Meanwhile, the most romantically charged days of the month will be in the days leading up to Christmas, with the Moon making its last visit to your romantic sector for the year from 23rd December to 25th December, leaving on Christmas Day itself.
While things are dialling back on the financial front to a point where they are transitioning into a new normal, on the income side of the financial fence things are preparing to power up, though not until the New Year. This is giving you a chance to first keep the focus on your financial situation and money matters as you adjust to Pluto’s departure from your financial sector last month and the end of the planet of change and transformation’s 16 year visit. The month begins with Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres still here and until leaving on 7th December, they are focused on bringing your financial wants, needs and priorities into closer alignment. It is not until two weeks later that the Sun will return on 21st December. The Sun will always return to your financial sector on the December solstice, with the solar spotlight always shifting onto your financial situation and money matters at this time of year. However, for the first time since 2008, the Sun will return to find Pluto gone and the years of continuous planetary activity on this side of the financial fence over. For the first time in 16 years, this is just about the annual financial housekeeping that takes place at this time each year. The Moon will make two visits to your financial sector this month, one while Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres are still here and again to connect with just the Sun. The Moon will move through from 3rd December to 5th December, ensuring your financial instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware in the final days of finetuning your financial wants, needs and priorities. It is when the Moon comes full circle on 30th December that this will set the scene for a New Moon on New Year’s Eve. Meanwhile, the Moon will make its last visit to your income sector for the year and before Mars returns in the New Year from 16th December to 18th December. This is something that can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger while bringing things together across the income, work and career fronts.
