(October 23 – November 21)
General
December 2024 is a challenging month financially and professionally, one that calls for perseverance and strategic thinking.
Mars retrograde in Leo can slow down progress, but fortunately there is a favorably placed retrograde Jupiter in Gemini who, supported by the Full Moon of December 15, 2024, honors your financial position.
December 2024 is not a month of big career steps or financial decisions, but of looking back, reviewing, reassessing and recalibrating. December 2024 is an in-between month.
Challenges are temporary. A step back means: big steps forward later.
Love and Relationships
Pisces represents the 5th House of Love and Self-Expression. Saturn in Pisces has been direct since November 15, 2024 and Neptune also goes direct in Pisces from December 7, 2024. In the past few months you have been thinking a lot and now that Saturn and Neptune in Pisces are direct again you know exactly what you want and what you don’t want in love.
With Mars retrograde opposite Venus in Aquarius in the second week of December 2024, tension can arise in love relationships. Venus opposite Mars is an energy of attraction and repulsion, of ‘playing hard to get’ or challenging each other. This energy requires patience, compromise and good timing. The second half of December 2024 will be calmer, but with your planet Mars retrograde, a complicated month must be taken into account.
Family and Home
Pluto is astrologically connected to Scorpio. Pluto now travels continuously through Aquarius, your House of Family and Private Life. Pluto in Aquarius will initiate a transformation in your psyche and home life in the next 20 years, such as a move, renovation or family expansion. Asteroid Ceres in Aquarius from December 7, 2024 shows a pleasant atmosphere at home. Peace has returned and it is time to strengthen family ties or people who are like family to you and who make you feel safe and familiar.
Venus in Aquarius from December 6, 2024 to January 3, 2025 brings a pleasant bustle to your home.
On December 30, 2024, there is a New Moon in Capricorn. Choose your words carefully, because what you say is essential. It is also about clear communication, expressing feelings and offering solutions, so that you can end the year on a positive note.
Career
The transit of Mars through Leo (the 10th House of Career and Destiny) is a powerful energy. Mars retrograde from December 6, 2024 to January 6, 2025 puts the brakes on professionally and business-wise. Mars in Leo retrograde reconsiders, rearranges, assesses, repairs and rehearses. Everything you do requires more effort. Either it does not work the way you want or you try extremely hard, which in turn arouses envy and frustration. Mars retrograde reconsiders, rearranges, rehearses. The key is to respond to the needs of others you work with, such as business partners, colleagues, clients, but also your partner, friends and family.
With Mars retrograde, others do not want you in the role of leader, but more as a guide and supporter. Take into account mergers, reorganization and departures, but also second chances.
Until February 2025, take into account project delays and possible tensions with authority figures such as authorities, clients, bosses, seniors, supervisors or managers, so try to keep the relationships as good as possible.
