While at the start of the month Mercury and Venus are lagging behind and haven’t yet left your income sector, this will have positive implications across the income, work and career fronts. Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus was late to return to your income sector this year and therefore late to leave while Mercury, who had left at the end of October retrograded back in last month for a do over and in the final days of November, this put them in the right place at the right time. While Venus will leave on 1st December, not before spending her final hours at a friendly aspect to Neptune, in his last full month in your work sector for another 150 years. Venus is also separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn, in his first full month in direct motion in your work sector and Jupiter, in his first in retrograde motion in your career sector. This is something that Mercury will do before leaving on 12th December, with a chance to get the month off to a lucrative start while drawing on the huge amount of professional resources. It is then that Venus will follow the Sun into your communication sector, where until leaving on 25th December, she will be working to give your heart and your relationships a voice while Mercury will do what, as the planet of communication he does best, when he returns on 12th December to spend the rest of the year here. Both will return before Mars leaves on 15th December, with a chance for the planets of love and communication to take advantage of the warrior planet’s war on communication roadblocks and barriers. They will also both be here when the Moon moves through from 18th November to 20th December, with its alignment with the Sun before leaving creating the last New Moon of 2025. It is two days later that the Sun will leave and follow Mars into your home and family sector, something that will put a lot more energy into a point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your home and family situation and matters.
On both the romantic and relationship fronts, things might be relatively quiet, but in both cases, they are biding their time as they wait for major developments in January, while the Moon is yet to make its last visits for the year. The month begins with the Moon already in your relationship sector and having returned on 30th November, with a chance to begin the month emotionally engaged and aware from the start. As is always the case with each monthly visit, the Moon will also connect with the three planets that are keeping the seat warm for Saturn, who after just a few months retrograded back out in September and Neptune, who after just a few months retrograded back out a month later. The Moon will leave on 2nd December, returning for its last visit for the year from 27th December to 30th December. Each visit brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware, while also bringing you close to Neptune’s return in January and Saturn’s return in February. With Neptune then not leaving again until 2039 and Saturn until 2028, next year will be the start of some of the most pivotal years on the relationship front in your lifetime. Meanwhile, the Moon will make one last visit to your romantic sector for the year from 23rd December to 25th December, with the spirit of romance merging with the Christmas spirit. While this is a relatively quiet month for matters of the heart and especially in contrast to next month with the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus all returning to your romantic sector in January to get 2026 off to a romantically charged start. Meanwhile, where you are preparing to transition into a major new relationship chapter, on the romantic front this has already happened. It was in 2023 and 2024 that Pluto, the planet of change and transformation dipped into and out of your romantic sector, only to return in November 2024, where he will stay until 2044.
With the money gods in the process of shifting from one side of the financial fence to the other, there is going to be an overlap and in that overlap, there could be some tension or competition, as both sides of the financial fence compete for your attention. This happened earlier in the year, when after six years in your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have Uranus left. By that time there were already planets in your income sector, though the really active months of the year on the income front didn’t begin until Mars returned to your income sector in September. By then Uranus was gone and the income side of the financial fence was free to dominate, which it has done ever since. However, last month Uranus retrograded back into your financial sector, where he will stay until April before leaving again, this time not to return for another eight decades. This is good news for money matters and is a chance to return to what was put on hold, but with Venus not leaving your income sector until 1st December and Mercury until 12th December, they are still working to keep the focus on the income side of the financial fence. Both will clash with Uranus before leaving, creating the potential for some financial tension in their final hours, but in a way that can be used as motivation. Venus will have left but Mercury will still be in your income sector when the Moon returns for its first visit to your financial sector since Uranus returned from 2nd December to 4th December. This won’t be the Moon’s last visit for the year, with the last chance to check in on money matters and get your financial bearings coming when the Moon comes full circle on 30th December, where it will end the year. Meanwhile, the Moon will make its last visit to your income sector for the year from 15th December to 17th December. While something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, returning three days after the last planet left, there will be a lot of untapped income potential for this to act as a trigger for. These will also be some of the best days of the month across the income, work and career fronts.
