Freewheeling and DealingWith the Sun in freewheeling Sagittarius, you want to stretch your legs, stretch your mind and set the pace, Aries. However, with Jupiter and retrograde Mars in tension, don't go over the top or trust too much to hope or luck. Keep spending under control — be insightful not impetuous.
The New Moon in Sagittarius on Dec 1st urges you forward. Watch for the unpredictable. If you're presumptuous, you may be caught out by something you didn't anticipate. If you play things wisely, something or someone will give assistance. Finance continues to be an issue. Discussion on outstanding matters may be required. Confusion or backlog will begin to clear. A new comrade may emerge as Chiron returns to Aquarius on Dec 5th. Forge new dreams with friends. You'll begin to emerge from the delays or obstructions that have troubled you recently.
Mars moves direct on Dec 9th. Mercury returns to Sagittarius on Dec 11th, opening the path to the horizon. Weigh up important decisions as Jupiter and Saturn meet in a contest of heavyweights from Dec 12th. Watch for conflicting advice. Have confidence in yourself and your judgement. Keep on a narrow path for the moment but keep moving forward. Old friends or contacts make a welcome return. An unusual person may make an impact in your life.
The Full Moon in Gemini on Dec 15th brings an upsurge of communications and events. New contacts will draw close or make an impact. The Sun's move to Capricorn at the Solstice on Dec 21st puts the serious issues of career and responsibility on the table. Take authority. Deal effectively. It's up to you. You can make it work with the aid of others and your own bright ideas. Set new patterns in place. Take up the mantle of authority at the New Moon in Capricorn on Dec 31st. Happy New Year!
OscillationsMercury the messenger begins the month in reverse in Scorpio, focusing on finance, especially where outstanding matters are concerned. Resolve past difficulty and move on from Dec 5th when Mercury moves forward, and again on Dec 11th when the messenger returns to Sagittarius. Travel and movement will culminate in exciting or surprising events at the Full Moon on Dec 15th. Be careful with travel and arrangements. Communications maybe testing or surprising. Make the hard decisions on Dec 29th. Strong talk with strong people!
Returning GoddessVenus the goddess is in Capricorn, urging practical handling of responsibility and career or professional matters.

The thing or person that you most need will unexpectedly turn up. Read more on Venus Retrograde!
Inching ForwardWarrior Mars, your life-ruler, has given you a rough time of late, turning everything into a long march or an unpalatable feast of delay. You will have learned about control and patience. You will know what can be done if you bide your time and try to hold things together when no one else seems to want to or know how. You will have learned the most if you simply resisted the usual eruption of Aries fire and got on with the job. Hopeful expectation fills the air with Mars and Jupiter together but you'll still need to be patient. The warrior moves forward on Dec 9th then passes through the arch of Jupiter and Saturn yet again. Take things step by step. Keep doing what you know is worthwhile. As Dec ends, the way opens. Read more on Mars Retrograde!
