With the planets becoming a tighter bunch and drawing closer to the Sun, the year is following a more natural progression, though with a chance to first tie up loose ends on the job front. While the Sun left your work sector towards the end of last month, until Venus leaves on 1st December and Mercury on 12th December, they are helping to tie up loose ends and bring home a period of continuous planetary activity that began in April. During that time Jupiter returned to your income sector to begin your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade, while Saturn and Neptune both left your career sector, only to return. The last thing that Venus has done before leaving on 1st December and Mercury will do before leaving on 12th December was spend their final days at a friendly aspect to all three. While Jupiter is in his first full month in retrograde motion, Saturn his first in direct motion, Neptune at a standstill ahead of a direct turn on 11th December and to start with, Mercury also at a standstill after turning direct on 30th December, with a lack of urgency. As Venus and Mercury leave, it will be to join the Sun, who will always spend the first three weeks of December in your relationship sector. This will see the planets of love and communication return before Mars leaves on 15th December and in time for when the Moon moves through as a New Moon from 18th December to 20th December. This is something that will allow Mars to return to your financial sector seven days ahead of the Sun, whose return on 22nd December is something that on the December solstice each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto your financial situation and money matters. It has been two years since Mars was last in your financial sector, with the warrior planet of the cosmos returning to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit, along with the drive to take your financial power back. Meanwhile, the last Full Moon of 2025 will fall in Gemini on 5th December, with the Moon’s return from 4th December to 6th December a chance to check in and get your personal bearings.
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, though with a lot more resources this year. At one point things could get crowded, with no fewer than four planets, in addition to the Sun, here at the same time. When the Sun returned last month, it was to find Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos making his first visit in two years, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment here for the first time in four years and Mercury, the planet of communication making his annual visit. While Mercury retrograded back out shortly after the Sun returned, he will be back on 12th December. This will be before Mars leaves on 15th December and then not leaving until early January, Mercury will be here, keeping the communication lines open as one by one the rest of the planets leave. This includes Venus, the planet of love who is the last planet to return to your relationship sector this year, returning on 1st December and leaving on Christmas Day. The Sun will leave on 22nd December, something that on the December solstice will always take the solar spotlight off your relationships. It is during the Sun’s final days that the Moon will make its last visit to your relationship sector for the year from 18th December to 20th December. It is just before the Moon leaves that it will align with the Sun to create a New Moon on 20th December. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your romantic sector since Venus left last month, the Moon’s last visit for the year from 13th December to 15th December will be the most romantically charged of the month. A friendly aspect to Pluto in an adventurous part of your chart as it moves through will bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, adding to what will be a romantically charged weekend.
Because the last planet not only left your financial sector in January but just months after Pluto left and ended 16 years of near continuous planetary activity on this side of the financial fence, when the planets returned to your income sector this year, there were no planets on the other side of the sky for them to clash with. This was the first time since Pluto had returned to your financial sector in 2008, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have, where there has been a chance to keep all the focus on the income side. This is something that the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus took advantage of when they moved through your income sector in the middle months of the year and something that Jupiter, who returned in June to begin your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade, is still taking advantage of. However, that is about to change, starting with Mars’ return to your financial sector on 15th December. This is the warrior planet of the cosmos’ first visit in two years, with a chance to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit. This is going to give Jupiter and the income side of the financial fence some competition, but in his first full month in retrograde motion, he is happy to take a back seat in order to give money matters their turn. Before that happens, the Moon will make its last visit to your income sector for the year from 6th December to 8th December. While something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, this first visit since Jupiter left could also be a catalyst for any untapped income potential. It is two weeks later that the Moon will not only return to your financial sector from 20th December to 23rd December to find Mars here, but it will be here, ensuring your financial instincts are sharp when the Sun returns on 22nd December. This is something that on the December solstice each year, will always see the solar spotlight shift onto your financial situation and money matters.
